They also know when to make concessions and accommodate their employees' personal needs because they are not as rigid and stubborn as male bosses. Employees, of course, enjoy such a relationship with their female boss. In brief, women's natural management style helps them succeed in their workplace. The fact that women are brought up to have verbal skills and emotional intelligence is a huge advantage. It's their strength and they need to use it more instead of disguising themselves.婚纱礼服的颜色和款式可取决于婚礼参与者的和文化。

After having consumed more drink than they should, they decided to sleep it off by staying overnight in a hotel. The desk clerk charged them $30.00 for the room. Shortly afterwards the desk clerk realized that he had overcharged the three men by $5.00. He calls the bellboy over, gives him the $5.00 and explains to him that he had overcharged the three men and asked him to go up and give them the $5.00. On his way up, the bellboy thinks, "They will be happy to get a refund, so why don't I give them each $1.00? They will be happy and I will have picked up $2.00." But when he does that and gives each man $1.00, that means they only paid $9.00 each for the room, which is a total of $27.00; plus the $2.00 the bellboy pocketed is a total of $29.00. But they gave the desk clerk $30.00! Where did the extra $1.00 go?To solve the puzzle, you have to consider if it is a correct calculationto add "plus the $2.00 the bellboy pocketed."。

Because she was pleasantly surprised that female bosses are much more accessible to their employees and much more sensitive and intimate with their employees.Because there are still some people, both men and women, who report that they have a low tolerance for female bosses.Her working style is more flexible, understanding, willing to give power to others and seek consensus, and more team-oriented.Studies suggest that men are typically hierarchical, goal-oriented and feel entitled. Women, by contrast, manage diplomatically and share power.While women may feel more comfortable with a female boss, men often have to spend a long time making concessions to the new working styles.This example shows the conflicting male-female working styles, their entirely different ways of thinking, and their opposite attitudes toward the same situations.Because she thinks that it stems from the whole social context of traditional roles for men and women. Men are more authoritative than women, thus demanding more power than women.Though a few decades ago there were fewer female bosses in leading positions, women could now be perceived to work together with men to create the best management style.Men: strong, tough, stubborn, direct, hierarchical, distant, cold, impatient, rough, goal-oriented, rational, decisive, top-down.• Women: flexible, understanding, patient, detailed, warm, careful, considerate, indecisive, diplomatic, feeling-based, bottom-up.Men's: more direct and decisive.• Women's: more accessible and reasonable.Be nice and gentle.• Try best to accomplish assigned tasks.• Get her confirmation before taking any action.• Listen rather than speak.Be assertive but rational.• Be a good listener.• Compromise when necessary.• Be more patient and considerate.• Share thoughts and opinions.Will definitely play an indispensable role.• Will possibly outweigh men in leadership.• Will probably become tougher than before.• Will still face challenges and gender barriers.

As construction progresses, workers check (horizontal) and verticallevels to ensure that both walls are exactly up to the designrequirements.It's obvious that women have come a long way as successful professionals. Women in the workplace are (1)(flourishing) as an increased number of women have made their presence felt in many industries and professions. The sector of the female workforce has (2)(expanded) with more and more strength and thus has its (3)(genuine) importance in the professional world.Whether they like it or not, men have to accept that women are marching up the management ladder confidently and (4)(diplomatically). Women usedto be much more "quiet and passive" due to the relatively small numberof female employees in (5)(comparison)to males. Women today, on the other hand, have begun seeking their (6)(administrative)positions by using all their powers of intelligence.Men are hierarchical and (7)(jealous) of the "beauty power" that allows women to get certain things based on their physical assets. Even though there is a(n) (8)(dispute) whether many professional females got into positions of power by using their appearance to their advantage, the (9)(valid)fact is the majority of women have worked hard to achieve their desired success.Women were considered as (10)(bystanders)in the workplace for many years and it was believed that the only jobs that they could handle were those of teachers or secretaries, but today's women can not only hold their own positions in the workplace, but they also have the dual task of raising their families.1.

Carl (took over) the duties and responsibilities of his father inrunning a manufacturing factory from an early age.8. Bob was popular with local soccer fans, but his popularity also(stemmed from) the fact that he made or scored vital goals when they were needed.With a more progressive approach to diversity and a greater number of women being the leader of organizations, women today feel comfortable enough to use their natural management style at work. Their management style tends to be more communicative and relationship-oriented.One example of their management style is being more communicative. Women usually have greater verbal ability and verbal comprehension than men. Their speaking skill is actually innate – born with it. Since they are usually more supportive, more inclined to delegate responsibilities and more willing to foster the careers of their employees than their male counterparts, they communicate more efficiently. As a result, employees are happy to share ideas with their female boss and feel excited to have their voice heard in making decisions.Another example of women's natural management style is being more relationship-oriented. As we well understand, women are more emotionally and spiritually intelligent. This gives them the potential to be a more understanding boss than men. They know how to motivate their employees with human touches such as "get well" cards and "thank you" notes. They also know when to make concessions and accommodate their employees' personal needs because they are not as rigid and stubborn as male bosses. Employees, of course, enjoy such a relationship with their female boss. In brief, women's natural management style helps them succeed in their workplace. The fact that women are brought up to have verbal skills and emotional intelligence is a huge advantage. It's their strength and they need to use it more instead of disguising themselves.婚纱礼服的颜色和款式可取决于婚礼参与者的和文化。

Our 100,000 students are currently studying at the Open University. We found limited development of distance learning in the case studies, with the exception of some postgraduate and professional courses. Even here, however, there seemed to be limits on further growth because of the high costs involved in setting up new distance learning courses, as well as uncertainties of demand (particularly in terms of the perceived financial returns on study). One of the case study universities provided video facilities and visiting staff to a rural area for a group of undergraduate (大学本科在校的) students about 50 miles away. This was a new development which was working well and likely to be expanded to involve other universities.The main reason for general lack of development of distance learning, especially at the undergraduate level, may be that other universities have been unable to afford the considerable set-up costs and student support facilities.

Hw went to a bar and had several drinks. When he was done, he stood up and walked toward the door. The barman shouted after him, “Hey mister, are you going to pay for those drinks?”Tom turned around and replied, “I have already paid you,” and then walked out of the bar. Almost immediately he saw one of his friends Richard and told him about the barman, “Just go in there and drink all you want, then get up and leave. When the barman asks you to pay the bill, just tell him you have already paid.”This sounded easy enough, so Richard went in and has several drinks. The barman went to him and said, “Before you came in, another man was here. When I asked him to pay his bill, he told me he’d paid, but I don’t remember him paying me.”Richard said, “I would love to stay and hear your story, but I don’t have time. Can I havemy change please?”1. A2.B3.D4.C5.CTask 3: Why not just print money?What’s the solution to a recession, a time of little economic activity? Just print money! Sounds reasonable, doesn’t it? Let’s see if this will work by using an example.Let’s pretend that all the students in your class make up the ENTER population of the country, and the teacher represents the government. Let’s also pretend each student has exactly $1.00.Since we are in a recession, let’s have the teacher, who represents the government, print money. He prints $1.00 more for everyone. Now everyone has $1.00 more to spend. More money to spend sounds like a great way to get us out of recession, since more money to spend means demand for goods and services.Then if that works, why don’t we give MORE money away? How about $100? Now we have lots of money to spend. So no more recession, right?Not really, because we have only looked at one side of the problem. As more and more people receive more and more money, what’ll happen?Since everyone has more money, the students all go shopping to spend that extra money. This causes the demand for goods and services to rise, and people who sell goods and services raise price. For example, if you could buy a new music CD at $10 in the past, now the price could be $1,000! This is called inflation.So, the original reason for printing all this money was to help get us of recession, but we have only replaced one problem with another.1.T2.T3.F4.F5.FIV. Speaking OutModel 1 I want to blow it all.John: Hey, Se-Jin, do you want to come shopping with me? My dad just gave me my monthly allowance and I want to blow it all.Se-Jin:That sounds just like you, John! What do you want to buy?John:I don’t know…Some music CDs, maybe.Se-Jin: If you spend all that money on things you don’t even know if you want, you won’t have any money left when you need it.John:But if I just save my money, that doesn’t s sound like much fun either. Besides, I need some new CDs.Se-Jin: You also need a financial advisor!Now Your TurnA: Hey, do you want to come shopping with me? I just got some money from my part-time job, and I want to get rid of it right away.B: That’s your style. What do you want to buy?A: I don’t know…some fashionable clothes, maybe.B: If you waste all your money on things you don’t even know if you want, you’ll be out of money completely when you need it.A: But if I just hold on to my money…that doesn’t make much sense either. I really need some new clothes. What’s the point of saving lots of money without fun?B: As I see it, you need a person to look after your money.Model 2 Can money buy everything?Peter: I’m trying to think of ways to become rich. If I could get my hands on a lot of money, I’ll be really happy.Jane: Do you really think so? I’m not so sure.Peter: Of course, why wouldn’t I? I’d be able to have anything I want.Jane: Well, there are plenty of people who have a lot of money but aren’t happy. What do you say to that?Peter: But if I became a millionaire, I’d buy whatever I wanted.Jane: Can you buy true love? Can you buy the moon?Peter: Maybe not, but I can buy a house with a lot of modern conveniences.Jane: So many people think like you do, buy look at all the divorces, suicides and murders among wealthy people. How do you explain that?Peter: Maybe there’s something in what you said.Now Your TurnA: I really hope I can make a fortune. If I had a lot of money, I’d be as happy as a king.B: Do you really believe so? I have my doubts about it.A: Of course, why wouldn’t I? If I were a millionaire, there’s nothing I couldn’t buy.B: Well, can you but health? Can you but true friendship?B: Maybe not. But I can but a big house and car, and make my life more comfortable.A: Maybe you have a point there. Money can bring material comforts. But don’t forget, there are also divorces and suicides among wealthy people.B: Well, there is some truth in what you said. Money cannot but real happiness.Model 3 I wonder if you could give me a loan.John: Hey, Se-Jin, I was just on my way to find you.Se-Jin: What’s up, John?John:Se-Jin, I’m kind of broke, and you usually have a bundle tucked away. I wonder if you could give me a loan.Se-Jin: Dream on! I’m hard up myself.John:You see, I want to buy some new stereo equipment, and I’m just about a hundred short. Se-Jin: Why not save up for it?John:The stores have all stuff on a huge sales promotion right now. I could save at least 30 percent!S-Jin: John, I’d lend you money if you were in a jam. But a new stereo isn’t an emergency. John: Then I’m afraid I have to find someone who is more easy-going.Now Your TurnA: Hi, I was trying to catch up with you.B: What happened?A: Money had burned a hole in my pocket. You usually have some savings. I wonder if you can lend me some money?B: You’re daydreaming. I’m short of money myself.A: Look, I want to buy a digital camera, and I’m only short of 150 bucks.B: Why not save towards it?A: The camera is on sale right now. This can save me almost 25 percent.B: Well, I’d lend you the money if you were in real redouble. But a new camera isn’t urgent.A: Then I’m afraid I’ll have to try someone who’s more generous.V. Let’s TalkStory of a MiserThere was a miser who loved money more than anything else. Just before he died, he said to his wife, “Now, listen. When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my mo ney to the afterlife with me.”He made her promise with all her heart that when he dies, she would pit all the money in the casket with him. Then he died. He was laid in the casket, his wife was sitting there wearing black, and her friend was sitting next to her.When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got already to close the casket, the wife said, “Wait a minute!” She had a box with her. She came over with the box and put it in the casket.Then the undertakers locked the casket down, and they rolled it away. He friend said, “Girl, I know you weren’t fool enough to put all that money in there with your husband!”She said, “Listen, I’m a Christian. I can’t go back on my word. I promise him that I would put all the money in the casket with him.”“You mean you really put that money in the casket with him!?”“I surely did,” said the wife. “I wrote him a check.”1.more than2.money casket3.promise4.in the casket5.sitting black6.next to/beside7.close8. a box9.away/off10.foolish all that money/the money11.a Christian on her word12.put the money13.a checkVI.

And indeed, an exactly one 0’clock the bell rings again, and all the workers return from their break.When the tour is over, the manufacturer turn s to his guest and says, “Well, now, which of these machines would you like to order?”“Forget the machines,” says the visitor. “How much do you want for that bell?”1.T2.F3.F4.T5.TTask 3: An Introduction to Credit CardsCredit cards are plastic cards issued by a bank or other financial institutions allowing the holder to buy goods and service without using cash. Many American don’t like to carry much cash. For them the cards are convenient and safe to use.Credit cards are gaining popularity, even for buying small items. They are accepted almost everywhere, though not at fast food restaurants.Credit cards allow you to purchase things that you may not currently have the money to buy. When you use a credit card, the credit card company that issued the credit card pays the store. Later, a bill will be mailed to you by your credit card company for the amount you purchased. At that time, you can either pay the bill in full, or only pay a minimum amount, and wait till later to finish paying. If you wait till later, you will owe the credit card company interest on the amount that you do not pay.1.D2.C3.B4.C5.ASpeakingCan you change a twenty-dollar bill?Cashier: How can I help you, Miss?Jill: Could you change a 20 for me?Cashier: Sure.

For example, in Western cultures brides often choose a white wedding dress, while in China the traditional wedding dress is in red. Though white has become the most preferred color for wedding gowns across the world today, this was not a widespread trend before the Victorian era. White became a popular option in 1840, when Queen Victoria wore a white gown at her wedding. The official wedding photograph was widely published, and many brides chose white to become the followers of the Queen. Many people believed that the color white symbolized virginity, though this was not the original intention. As far as the style is concerned, wedding dresses were once typically short in the front with a longer train in the back. This tendency continued until the late 1960s, when it became popular to revert to long, full-skirted designs.婚纱礼服的颜色和款式可取决于婚礼参与者的宗教和文化。
