Take a couple of breaths and think of some??thing that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love.Don’t wait for an apology. ___2___ Luskin says, “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time.” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean coming to terms with the person who upsets you or forgiving his or her action after your quarrel.___3___ Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain. “Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.” Luskin says.___4___ If you attach great importance to that person, you mayrealize that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear and even love.

Let’s look at two psychological experiments which will give you the key to happy interpersonal relations.The first experiment is called the “Hawthorne effect” afterHawthorne, Illinois(伊利诺斯[美国州名]), where the experiment took place. A group of psychologists examined the work patterns of two groups of workers in the Western Electric Company. ____2_____. The psychologists changed the working conditions for one group twice but left the other group alone. They were surprised to find that productivity increased on both occasions and in both groups. They concluded that the increase in productivity came from the attention given to the workers by the management. It had increased their motivation and so they had worked harder. In other words, if you take an interest in others, they will want to please you and you will have good relations with them.___3___. After Martin Luther King, Jr was killed in 1960s, a teacher, Jane Elliott, living in an all-white town decided to help her class of young children understand why the Civil Rights Movement had been necessary in America.She divided the class into two groups: one with blue eyes and other with brown eyes. Other eye colors such as hazel or green were excluded from his exercise. Then she told the class that brown-eyed people were cleverer than blue-eyed ones because of an agent(化学作用) for brown color found in their blood. Blue-eyed people were stupid, lazy and not to be trusted. Jane Elliott did not need to say any more. The brown-eyed students quickly got used to their new role as the leaders of the class. The blue-eyed students became quiet and withdrawn. Then she discoveredsomething very interesting. Four poor brown-eyed readers began to read fluently in a way they had never done before. ___4___. So if you want to be successful and happy, take an interest in others whether they are your classmates or workmates.

The ones who have more friends usually are those who care about others.E. Jane Elliott had shown that the way people are treated affects not only their behavior but also their confidence and their performance.F. You may even imagine that this ability was something they were born with because it seems so effortless to them.G. The second experiment tells us what teachers said had a great effect on the students.(三)Advertising Everywhere1Now that messages can go around the world at high speed，the world is becoming smaller and products can be sold everywhere．But it is true that the problems of international advertising—problems of language and culture—have become larger than ever．For example，Braniff Airlines wanted to advertise its fine seals，but when its advertisement was translated from English into Spanish，it told people that they could fly without wearing clothes!To avoid problems in translation，most advertisement firms are now writing completely new ads．In writing new ads，international advertisers must choose different methods of advertising for different countries．In some countries，an advertisement usually gives a description of the productand explains why it is better than others．2But in Japan，the message is based more on situations and feelings than on words．For this reason，many television advertisements broadcast in Japan show people at a party，picnic，or in some other pleasant situations．They willnot say that a product is better than others．Instead，the goal will be to create a good feeling aboutthe product3For instance，certain countries will not allow TV advertisements on Sundays，and others will not allow them for children’s products on any day．The world advertiser who doesnot understand such laws aud customs will soon have problems．Finally，there is the choice of what to advertise．4So the best advertisement in the world means nothing if the product is not suitable for the market．Comparing such as McDonald’s in Hawaii，you will find Chinese food provided on the menu．If you stop at a McDonald’s in Germany，you can order a beer with your meal．All of these products must be sold with the right kind of message5But no matter how difficult this job may be，it is very important for global advenrtisers to do it well．Knowing how to advertise in the world market can help companies for success．A．People around the world have different likes and dislikes．B．This is true in the United States，Britain，and GemanyC．They just show how the product is madeD．In the advertising industry，selling products is the most important goalE．International advertisers must also consider differences in laws and customsF．It can be explained by a word，a passage，or even a pictureG．It can never be an easy job for advertisers to create message(四)I was in Tokyo last spring, walking in the street and talking with my dear friend Kirsten. 1It turned out to be a group of four very hipJapanese college students playing their music instruments for anyone who would listen.2In the middle of the second song, an old homeless man broke through the crowd and started shouting at the band. The musicians did their best to ignore him but the man would not go away. It seemed he was angry about the loud noise.I remember there were probably two dozen people watching this. 3I was also helpless because first, I couldn’t speak much Japanese, and second, the homeless man was starting to get more and more violent. At one point, he picked up a stick and started banging on the drum set.This was more than the young drummer could take. He stopped playing, stood up and pushed the old man to the ground.4He knelt down next to the old man, took hold of his hands and asked him if he was alright. I couldn’t understand what was being said, but I will never forget the way this young man helped bring the fallen man to his feet. And I will never forget the way he carefully placed his arm around the old man’s shoulders and quietly walked him away.5Maybe this old man was a prince in disguise. And maybe he was waiting to see someone act, just once, with beauty and courage.A.I couldn’t help but wonder.B.All of them went away at once.C.Suddenly, we heard the sound of a jazz band.D.Everybody became angry with the old man.E.But no one knew what they could or should do.F.However, not everyone was enjoying the music.G.At that time, a young Japanese man went through the crowd quietly.(五)Sleep is something we all do. But some people need to sleep more than others. Babies sleep most of the time. Children in school sleep about ten to twelve hours a night. Most grown-ups sleep only seven or eight hours. 1All parts of our bodies have to rest after they work. Our arms need a rest after we lift heavy things. When we run fast, our legs work hard. They get tired. We have to rest them. Our brains work hard, too.2We can sit quite still and rest our arms and legs. But our brains aren’t resting. They go right on thinking as long as we are awake.Our brains slow down a bit when we sleep and dream.3Instead of thinking wide-awake thought, our brains make up dreams. Some dreams are very pleasing. Some are not. Most of the time we forget them when we wake up.Scientists have tried to find out what would happen if people were not allowed to sleep. They asked some people not to go to bed. The people stayed up all night and all the next day. They stayed up the nextnight, too and the day after. They played games. But they made mistakes. They forgot things. 4 . The people grew rude and mean. They became angry with their friends. Finally they were too tired to stand up. The moment they sat down, they fell asleep.Scientists found that if people are not allowed to sleep, they act in an unusual way.5But we do know that we need it to stay well.So tonight have a good sleep. Lie down under the covers. Shut your eyes. Let your thoughts travel about. Soon you’ll stop thinking. You’ll be asleep.A. But even as we sleep our brains are doing some work.B. It was hard for their tired brains to work.C. When we are awake, they help us pay attention to the world around us.D. No one knows quite surely why sleep is so good for us.E. Good sleep helps to improve one’s memory.F. But babies, children and grown-ups ----all of us need to have our sleep.(六)It seems that the Englishmen just cannot live without sports of some kind. 1Wherever you go in this country, you will see both children andgrown-ups knocking a ball about with a stick or something, as if in Britain men shall always remain boys and women girls! Still, it can never be bad to get exercise, can it?Taking all amateur（业余）and professional sports in Britain into consideration, there can be no doubt that football is at the top of the list. 2 The game originated（起源于）in Britain and was played in the Middle Ages or even earlier, though as an organized game, or “association football”, it dates only from the beginning of the 19th century.3 . It is a kind of football played by two teams of fifteen players than eleven. In rugby, an oval-shaped ball is used which can be handled as well as kicked. It is a pretty rough game.In summer, cricket is the most popular sport. In fact, it has sometimes been called the English national game. Most foreigners find the game rather slow or even boring, but it enjoys great popularity among the British.4 . It was introduced into England from France in the 15th century, but it was from England that it spread to practically every country in the world.Table tennis, or “ping-pong, surely is not played on a great scale as it is in China or Japan.5 . Horse-back riding, swimming, rowing and golf all attract a lotof people.A. A famous French humorist once said that this is because theEnglish insist on behaving like children all their lives.B. It is called soccer in the United StatesC. The next is rugby, which is called “football” in the United StatesD. Tennis rates high on the list, tooE. Basketball and volleyball were introduced into Britain during the late 19th century from America and are gaining popularityF. people often work out to build up their bodies.G. not everyone likes ball games(七)1With the invention of the Internet several decades ago, do you feel that since then it has made us human beings feel more connected to the world and one another, or has it isolated（使孤立）us and made us feel more alone than ever before?What about you as an individual?● 2The Internet enables us to know what’s happening in the world. We couldn't imagine talking to people everywhere in the world twenty years ago.●3It unites us because we talk to others from all around our country and tha world, but the Internet can be addicting, and keep usaway from people for a while, There is an inherent (内在的) human need for direct human contact (e.g. touching, talking face to face, etc.) that the Internet has all taken away.● 4It has given me freedom beyond my imagination. I’m home-bound with many duties to attend to. My life is a bit too crowded. Duties duties duties. I get lost many times not knowing who I really am！This medium is my best friend. It just lets me BE！I can speak here without fear or favour.● 5Chatting online is completely different from hanging out with friends outside or hearing their voice over the phone．I find that it’s not just the Internet that has increased this sense of isolation，even iPods，MP3s，such devices kind of separate us，make us lose focus on the everyday happenings of life．A. I think that the Internet isolates as well as unites us.B. I believe it unites us more than it isolates us.C. Do you feel that the Internet unites us or isolates us?D. What is happening in the world today?E. The Internet is playing a more and more important role.F. I think it has isolated us more.G. I am truly grateful for this new technology.(八)Brain TransplantsResearch on the human brain has been attracting more and more scientists in recent years.1If we compare a human brain to a hard disc, what the scientists are doing is to make better use of the hard disc.The idea that a human brain could be transplanted (移植) may come from Frankenstein. In 2019, an experiment turned a bear into a dolphin (海豚).2They were made of the memory area in the dolphin’s brain containing information about swimming. They had a series of useful information, which was saved into a button – sized chip (芯片). Later the information was transplanted into the action memory area in the bear’s brain.3It proved to be a highly successful experiment and a bear was turned into a dolphin.Recently, another memory transplant was performed at the Motor Nerve Rescarch Instance of the University of California. The experiment bad an entire transplant of the memory area.4The transplant was performed from a dog named Cenius to a dog named idiot. Cenius could follow up to 100 gestures and orders made by its master. It was a real genius in memorizing. However, Idiot had no contact with people since its birth. It because an animal with nothing in its brain, without any memory.5When the two dogs woke up, Idiot had grasped all the abilities Cenius possessed; it was good at memorizing and sensible. It could follow every gesture and any command given by its master. But Ceniusgave no response to its master, and did not recognize him at all.A．The experiment was a complete success.B．It included actions, moods, logic, words, images, etc.C．Then it was released (释放) by means of electric power.D．Different images have different meanings in the memory area.E．Using the most advanced technology, detailed images were produced.F．Discoveries show that messages are carried by the central nervous system in the brain.G．One of the latest topics is how to change the human brain or combine it with the computer.(九)(1) ______You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying.(2)______ A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good studyarea. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.Make good use of your time in class. (3)______ Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. (4)_______ If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you’ll remember it longer.Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried.(5)_______ You will probably discover them after you have tried these.A. There are other methods that might help you with your studying.B. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.C. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.D.

This will help you understand the next class.(十)1Frankly, I very much appreciate myself. Yes, I admit I’m in many respects(方面) not as good as other people, but I don’t think I’m always not good. When I find what I’ve done or written is okay, I’ll remain pleased with myself for quite a few days, and in case I receive praise for it, I’ll even become so excited as to add a few words to glorify(赞美) myself.True, I’m not modest at all. 2But I think otherwise.3I appreciate anything good. Isn’t it unfair to forget appreciating myself while appreciating others?We Chinese are generally inclined(倾向的) to be modest, and we take pride in being so. For example, a Chinese will call his own wife zhuojing, meaning “my humble wife”, and his own writings zhuozuo, meaning “my poor writings”. But if you should call his wife a “rustic(乡巴佬) woman” or his writings “trash”, he would , I’m sure, slap the table in a rage and declare he would make a clean break with you. 4I don’t think it’s wrong for you to freely praise yourself if you’rereally worthy of praise. As we know, there is an old Chinese saying disparaging(轻视的) a melon peddler, named Lao Wang, who keeps praising his own goods. Well, why can’t he praise his melons if they are really weet and juicy?Friends, Lao Wang sells melons for a living. How could he carry on business if he, by imitating the affections of us intellectuals(知识分子)，were to show false modesty about his melons? He would sure enough die of starvation.Self-appreciation is therefore key to professional dedication(贡献) and enjoyment of work.. 5Needless to say, the same is true of those who make a living with their pen.A. I also appreciate other people.B. On Self-controlC. On Self-AppreciationD. People may call me conceited(自负的).E. We need appreciate ourselves.F. One will lose confidence in continuing with writing when he ceases(停止) to admire his own essays.G. As a matter of fact, there is probably no differenc at all between what is said by him and you respectively(各别地).(十一)Being healthy means taking care of yourself physically andmentally. Here are some of my best tips on how to do both:Break a bad habit.You don’t really “break” habits. __1__. So if your problem is that you eat too much when you get home from work, find something new to do that is incompatible（不能共存的）with what you usually do. You can’t walk around the track at the school and pig out in your kitchen at the same time.Grow your marriage.2_. It’s always a give-and-take, always requires work. It’s as if you planted a garden and came back six months later─you wouldn’t even be able to find it. __3__.Beat stress.My dog, Maggie, is the best anti-stress tool I have. A few minutes petting, scratching or playing with her, and __4__. Exercise also helps. Just about every day, I’m on the tennis court. It’s a great workout, and if I don’t have that, I don’t cope as well, sleep as well or think as well.Refocus your anger.Expressing your anger is just not that good an idea. You say things you don’t mean. __5__. When you do that, you’re a problem solver.Don’t medicate(掺入药) with food.It never, ever works. You’re denying your issue by eating your way through it, instead of saying, “Hey, I’ve got a problem.”A.You replace the unwanted behavior with something that preventsyou from doing it and that doesn’t have unhealthy side effects.B.I’ll feel easy.C.If there is a problem, you needn’t deal with it immediately.D.You have to tend it, feed it, weed it, and deal with the problems.E.Instead, recognize that anger is usually a symptom of hurt, fear or frustration, and deal with the causes rather than blow up.F.Relationships are negotiated（协商）, and the negotiation never stops.G.You do something without any good effect on your health during the time when you usually do something harmful to your body.(十二)Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you might ask yourself is: "How do I get a good job?" 1.There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and find the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. Still others believe that the in-person, door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decisionof their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time. 2. He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them. His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream. One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick. Without stopping to think, the young man offered to take his place. 3.4 . If the young man had gone home to ponder（考虑）his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance. It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well.Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to get plum jobs（美差）. When you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying. 5. And within a year this person had become general manger of the company.A．This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself.B．People find jobs in an limitless number of ways.C．It's almost impossible to find a good job by answering advertisement in newspapers.D．Take for example the young man who wanted to be a sailor.E．But there was one person who landed an excellent job by telling the interviewerall the company's faults.F．He spent the rest of his life happily sailing the ships he had always loved.G．It is very important to seize an opportunity when you are given one.(十三)McDonald's Corporation （NYSE: MCD）is the world's largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurants, serving nearly 47 million customers daily．______1____Brands （KFC, Taco Bell and others）and sandwich chain Subway．In addition to its signature restaurant chain, McDonald’s Corporation held a minority interest in Pret A Manger until 2019, and owned the Chipotle Mexican Grill until 2019 and the restaurant chain Boston Market until 2019．______2___The corporations' revenues come from the rent, royalties and fees paid by the franchisees, as well as sales in company-operated restaurants．____3_____In response to obesity trends in western nations and in the face of criticism over the healthiness of its products, the company has modified its menu to include such healthier alternatives as salads, wraps and fruit．The business began in 1940, with a restaurant opened by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald in San Bernardino, California．Their introduction of the "Speedee Service System" in 1948 established the principles of the modern fast-food restaurant．The original mascot of McDonald's was a man with a chef's hat on top of a hamburger shaped head whose name was "Speedee．" Speedee was eventually replaced with Ronald McDonald in 1963．The first McDonald's restaurants opened in the United States, Canada, Costa Rica, Japan, the Netherlands, Germany, Australia, France, El Salvador and Sweden in order of openings．The present corporation dates its founding to the opening of a franchised restaurant by Ray Kroc, in Des Plaines, Illinois on April 15, 1955, the ninth McDonald's restaurant overall．___4____Kroc was also noted for aggressive business practices, compelling the McDonald brothers to leave the fast food industry．The McDonald brothers and Kroc feuded over control of the business, as documented in both Kroc's autobiography and in the McDonald brothers' autobiography．_____5____A．McDonald's primarily sells hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chicken products, french fries, breakfast items, soft drinks, milkshakesand desserts．B．The site of the McDonald brothers' original restaurant is now a monument．C．At one time it was the largest global restaurant chain, but it has since beensurpassed by multi-brand operator Yum!D．Each McDonald's restaurant is operated by a franchisee, an affiliate, or the corporation itself．E．The company has also expanded the McDonald's menu in recent decades to include alternative meal options。
