【综合训练完型阅读】【U9】Each nation has its own odd character which distinguishes it from others. But the peoples of the worl d have more points in which they are all like each other than points in which they are different. One type of person that is common in every country . Who always tries to do as little as he possibly can and to get a s much in return as he can. His opposite, the man who is in the habit of doing more than is strictly necess ary and who is ready to accept what is offered in return is rare everywhere.Both these types are usually not aware of their character. The man who avoids effort is always talkin g about his rights": he appears to think that society owes him a pleasant, easy life. The man who is always doing more than his share talks of "duties": he feels that the individual is in debt to society, and not societ y to the individual. As a result of their views, neither of these men thinks that he behaves at all strangely.The man who tries to do as little as he can is always full of excuses. if he had neglected to do something, it was because he had a headache, or the weather was too hot ---or too cold--- or because he was prevented by bad luck. At first, other people, such as his friends and his employer, generously accept his stories. However, soon they realize what kind of person he is. In the long run he deceives only himself. When his friends become cool towards him and he fails to make progress in his job, he is surprised and hurl. He blames everyone and everything except himself He feels that society is failing in its duties towards him, and that he is being unjustly treated. He soon becomes one of the unsatisfied members of the society he lives in.【U8】Career planning helps you to shape your career possibilities. It includes gathering information about ourselves as well as about occupations. Estimating the probable results of various courses of action is also part of it. Finally, it includes choosing what we find attractive and possible.There are some key steps in career planning. The first one is to study yourself. This is the key to career planning. Understanding what you are like, what you value, and what you want to become is the foundation for all career planning. In studying yourself, you examine your strengths and weaknesses, your goals, and the trends in your personal development. The self-understanding that you gain enables you to imagine something important. That is, you realize how certain occupations may best fit your interests, abilities, and goals.The second step is to write your career goals down. A useful method of organizing ideas about your career is to actually write them down by time blocks in your life, for instance, ages nineteen to twenty-two, twenty-three to thirty, and so on. Writing something down may lead to new ideas about your possibilities and may help you to see relationships, patterns and trends.The third step is to review your plans and progress periodically with another person. Every so often, take stock of your situation and consider what steps have to be taken next. Planning further steps can help you face the changes that take place in the labor market. Talking over your plans with your parentsor friends helps you improve your career plans or make them work.If you choose a career that does not fit you, you can start over. Today, a growing number of people are changing careers or getting second starts in careers that attract them. Reasons for changing careers are different, but many people move because they feel tired of their jobs. For some, a second start grows out of the awareness that what they want out of life is not what they are doing, and they decide to do those things they enjoy. They believe this is important for their personal development.【U7】Here are some secrets of living a successful life:Have a self you respect. This means having a deep sence of responsibility for your thoughts and actions. It means keeping your words and being faithful to self, family and work. It means believing in what you do and working hard. It means setting your own goals. You shouldn’t compare yourself with others for this. It’s not a question of being better than someone else. Respect demands that you be better than you thought you could be.Commit yourself to others. Believe in others, and take time to help them realize their dreams. You can build yourself into the lives of your family, friends and colleagues. You can do this by providing encouragement, and spending your time and energy on their development. If a tree is given little nourishment , it will live but not grow. But if nourishment is given over and beyond what is needed for life, the tree will live and grow upward, producing fruits.Enjoy life’s process, not just life’s reward . We live in a society that wants problems solved now. We want fast food, one hour dry cleaning and instant success. But to live happily , we must live one day at a time. We must realize that life is an endless journey in self-discovery and personal achievement. It means taking time to play with your kids and kiss your wife or husband. Also, it wouldn’t hurt to let the other fellow ahead of you on the highway. And what could be better than this?【U6】How important are our clothes? It is interesting to reflect on how much we judge people by the clothes they wear. Long hair and blue jeans with holes? We would think that he might be a student as that is a fashion started by young people. An elegant lady in a beautiful dress? She must be a foreigner, we think. English women of that age don't dress so smartly, and she probably has money, too. And that man with a well-tailored suit walking over there with an umbrella? A businessman, of course, and undoubtedly English. Why English? Well, he is formally dressed. Also, only an Englishman would always carry his treasured umbrella, even when it is not raining.I once read of a news writer who went into a very expensive department store poorly dressed. She was watched with suspicion from the moment she walked into the store. As she examined the goods, she was watched carefully by security guards in the store. When she finally decided on a smallpurchase, she said she had forgotten to bring enough money with her and asked if she could pay by check. The clerk politely told her that checks were not accepted for goods of two dollars or under. The next day she went back , dressed well , smelling of expensive perfume. She chose an even cheaper article, told the same story and her check was accepted without question. It only goes to show how easily we are impressed by clothes.Some people argue that judging other people by the clothes they wear is unfair. Other people think otherwise. They think that a person's appearance is an expression of who he is. An untidy person may rightly be thought of as a person of low social status, or even low quality. "Any person with a bit of self-respect can look nice if he wants to. Expensive clothes aren't necessary. And if a person decides not to look presentable, why should I give him respect?" one person says.【U5】There are two ways to spoil a child, that is, “overindulgence” and “oversubmissiveness”. The problem with overindulgent parenting is that it starves the child of the opportunity to think for himself. It also keeps him from making his own decisions and developing his own needs and preferences. An overindulged child never has to struggle to get something for himself. He never has to entertain any idea, chances or possible difficulties. When his parents are busy to prepare everything for him and he’s tired of all his toys, this child is “spoiled” into believing that life will provide him everything without his own effort. And when he grows up he will expect everyone to read his mind and provide for him in this way.The other kind of spoiling is oversubmissiveness. An oversubmissive parent gives in to all his child’s demands, often because he fears the child won’t love him if he doesn’t. He just isn’t able to give a(n) firm “No”. The parent has no time to himself, can’t get the child to do anything wit hout an argument, and has to listen to whining continuously. When he’s had too much , he explodes in anger. Then he gives in to the child even more because he feels guilty for exploding. Children need to learn that there are firm and consistent limits, and that they won’t be allowed to take advantage of other people.The child with an oversubmissive parent doesn’t learn to accept a “No” from other people, or to set limits for himself. He learns to get his way by fussing and the ever-present threat: “If you loved me, you’d do what I want.”The child “spoiled” by oversubmissive parenting grows up into a teenager and adult without limits to his behavior. He also becomes a person who won’t respect other people’s limits and personal boundaries. He makes life miserable for his parents, spouse, and children, infringing on their rights and feelings. He does this without even being aware of the people he hurts. Clearly, this is not good for anybody.Avoiding these two ways of spoiling is difficult, but well worth the effort.【U4】Universities are at their best when they do more than give students knowledge about their subjects.A new science and engineering first degree program is creating a lot of excitement at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It is helping to prepare students to become leaders capable of creating and directing change in local, national, and global communities. Experts believe that much can be expected of this. The details might be of some interest to you.Three years ago, MIT worked with Leadership, Inc. to create the institute-based Leader Shape Institute. Program leaders call it “a serious and creative response to today’s basic challenges”. They mean to develop students and engineers who are prepared to “lead with integrity” both in technolog ical fields and in society. Central to the effort is helping students to learn to listen to society as it expresses its need for change.For the past three summers, the Leader Shape Institute has provided120 MIT science and engineering students with a thorough six-day experience featuring highly interactive teaching and learning methodologies. Throughout the program, students develop skills in problem identification and problem solving. They are also instructed in professional morals, decision-making, dealing with uncertainty, working within a diverse community, and relationship communication. Most discussions and activities take place in assigned small “groups”. These groups provide supportive, safe environments that promote learning. It is meant that students develop new skills and attitudes. Each participant creates an individual plan of action called a “vision”, which is a main element of the Leader Shape curriculum. Each vision must be designed to bring confident change to the institute community. It must be carried out during the following school year.So what do students think about what they learn from the Leader Shape Institute? Nearly everyone asked about it speaks highly of their experience. One student, Christy Robertson, said that it had changed her life. “I feel that the things I’ve learned here are more important than anything else I’ve ever learned in a university classroom,” she said. “I only wish that I could sign up to take it a second time.” Many other students feel the same way.【U3】Choosing your life partner is a decision that requires very careful thought. Getting married is something you do not want to take lightly . Divorce rates around world are increasing every year. And in some countries they are now as high as 50 percent! If you don’t want to end up divorced and heart-broken, take my advice to help you choose your perfect partner.First of all, you and your partner should be compatible. You need to know that you share a common purpose in life. You and your partner should have similar goals and ambitions that you can work towardachieving through your married life. It will be difficult to keep your marriage together if your partner wants to stay at home and raise a large family, but you want to travel the world. You might have difficulty telling him that you want to have a life free from having children.Next, ask yourself this question: Is my partner a person with whom I can share my deepest thoughts and feelings? In other words, can you be completely honest and open with this person? Or do you sometimes feel shy and uncomfortable telling her how you feel? If your situation is the former, then you have probably found your true love. If, however, it is the latter, take your time before you marry this person.Marry a person who is polite and kind to others; he will be polite and kind to you. In my experience, you can learn a lot about the true nature of a person by watching how he treats other people. If someone is kind and giving to family and friends, he will do the same to you. Someone who has good manners and is polite and respectful when dealing with others is whom you should be looking for. He will show you the same consideration.Finally, when you enter into a relationship with someone, remember that you should not expect to change that person. Be sure that the person you are getting together with is someone you like exactly the way he is. Otherwise, you are sure to be disappointed.【U2】The Olympics were first started by the Greeks and were very religious in nature. The Greeks honored their gods by holding competitions as well as by singing and dancing. When the Games were held, all the cities of Greece stopped their wars to show their respect for the gods.There were originally four towns in which the Games were held and each town held the Games once in four years. But the Games at Olympia were the most important . The four-year period from the beginning of one Olympic Games to the beginning of the next became known as an “Olympiad”.Apart from the singing and dancing, the Games were very like the modern Olympics of today. There were foot-races in a stadium over long and short distances. There were jumping events, throwing events, and boxing.Only men were allowed to compete in or watch these early games. Later women were allowed to watch but they did not compete. The stadium in Greek times was built in a horseshoe shape. Thousands of men, and later women, applauded the greatest athletes in the country as they competed. They looked forward to the Games with much excitement.The ancient Olympic Games of Greece took place every four years for hundreds of years. But after the fifth century B.C., the Greeks were overpowered by the Romans. Then Greece became part of the Roman Empire. In Roman times the Olympic Games became less of a religious event than it was duringGreek times. The focus changed to the games themselves. Further changes to the Olympic Games have been made since. Even with the changes to the Olympic Games, however, we still remember the place of their birth.And we are reminded of the original Games even more, because Greece hosted the games very recently. The 2004 Summer Olympics were held in Athens, Greece. Over 200 countries participated in the Games. Also, for the first time ever, the Olympic flame, now very important to the Olympics, traveled around the world in a relay. The excitement of 2004 and that of the original competitions stays with us as we look forward to future Olympic Games.【U1】“You’re going to another country to study? How wonderful! You're really lucky!”But is it true all the time? Specialists in intercultural studies say that it is not easy to adjust to life in a new culture. They call the feelings which people experience when they come to a new environment cult ure shock.According to these specialists, there are three stages of culture shock. In the first stage, the newcom ers like their environment. Then, when the newness wears off, they begin to hate the city, the country, t he people, the apartment, and everything else in the new culture. In the final stage of culture shock, the newcomers begin to adjust to their surroundings. As a result , they enjoy their life more.Some of the factors in culture shock are obvious . Perhaps the customs are different. Perhaps the pu blic service networks such as the telephone or post office are difficult to understand and you make mista kes. The simplest things seem difficult. The language may be difficult. The food may seem strange to you. You may also miss the familiar smells of the food you are used to in your own country. If you don't look s imilar to the natives, you may feel strange. You may feel like everyone is watching you. In fact, you are al ways watching yourself. You are self-conscious .Who experiences culture shock? Everyone does in some form or another. But culture shock comes a s a surprise to most people. A lot of the time, the people with the worst culture shock are the people who never had anydifficulties in their own countries. They had hobbies or leisure activities which they enjoye d back in their mother country. When they come to a new country, they do not have the same establishe d positions or hobbies. They find themselves without a role, almost without a(n) identity . They have to b uild a new self-image. This can take a long time.。

I was a little intimidated to comment in person, so am writing instead. I hope this doesn't upset you, but something has to be done. I must appeal to you to start dressing like a mom. Your unique sense of fashion is more like a sister's than a mother's. Personally, it's embarrassing to have a mom who dresses younger than I do .you wear tshirt with torn jeans and your nose is pierced My friends say it's strange, but I think they are being a little too negative. It's most likely because their boy fiends think you are pretw. Still, if you want me to have any friends in this community, it is vital that you remove the ring .from your nose and start dressing like the other moms. Don’t your peers ever show any concern? Don't you remember how horrible being a teenager can be? I feel awful because I think people of my age would rathe rtalk to you than me.

A useful method of orga nizing ideas about your career is to actually write them down by time blocks in your life, for instance, ages nineteen to twenty-two, twenty-three to thirty, and so on. Writing something down may lead to new ideas about yourpossibilities and may help you to see relati on ships, patter ns and tren ds.The third step is to review your pla ns and progress periodically with ano ther pers on. Every so ofte n, take stock of your situation and consider what steps have to be taken next. Planning further steps can help you face the changes that take place in the labor market. Talking over your plans with your parents or friends helps you improve your career pla ns or make them work.If you choose a career that does not fit you, you can start over. Today, a grow ing nu mber of people are changingcareers or getting second starts in careers that attract them. Reasons for changing careers are different, but many people move because they feel tired of their jobs. For some, a second start grows out of the awareness that what they want out of life is not what they are doing, and they decide to do those things they enjoy. They believe this is important for their personal development.【U7】Here are some secrets of livi ng a successful life:Have a self you respect. This means having a deep sence of responsibility for your thoughts and actions. It means keeping your words and being faithful to self, family and work. It means believing inwhat you do and working hard. It means setting your own goals. You shouldn cOmpare yourself with others for this. Itq u estion epf being better tha n some one else. Respect dema nds that you be betterthan you thought you could be.Commit yourself to others. Believe in others, and take time to help them realize their dreams. You can build yourself in to the lives of your family, friends and colleagues. You can do this by providi ng encouragement, and spending your time and energy on their development. If a tree is given little nourishment , it will live but not grow. But if nourishment is given over and beyond what is needed for life, the tree will live and grow upward, produci ng fruits.Enjoy life prbcsss not just life rewar'.sWe live in a society that wants problems solved now. We want fast food, one hour dry cleaning and instant success. But to live happily , we must live one day at a time. We must realize that life is an endless journey in self-discovery and personal achievement It means taking time to play with your kids and kiss your wife or husband. Also, it wouldn hurt to let the other tfellow ahead of you on the highway. And what could be better than this?【U6】How important are our clothes? It is interesting to reflect on how much we judge people by the clothes they wear. Long hair and blue jea ns with holes? We would think that he might be a stude nt as that is a fashion started by young people. An elegant lady in a beautiful dress? She must be a foreigner, we think. English women of that age don't dress so smartly, and she probably has money, too. And that man with a well-tailored suit walk ing over there with an umbrella? A bus in essma n, of course, and undoubtedly English. Why English? Well, he is formally dressed. Also, only an Englishman would always carry his treasured umbrella, even when it is not raining.I once read of a news writer who went into a very expensive department store poorly dressed Shewas watched with suspicion from the moment she walked into the store. As she examined the goods, she was watched carefully by security guards in the store. When she fin ally decided on a smallpurchase, she said she had forgotte n to bring eno ugh money with her and asked if she could pay by check. The clerk politely told her that checks were not accepted for goods of two dollars or under. The next dayshe went back , dressed well , smelling of expensive perfume. She chose an even cheaper article, told the same story and her check was accepted without question. It only goes to show how easily we are impressed by clothes.Some people argue that judging other people by the clothes they wear is unfair. Other people think otherwise. They think that a pers on's appeara nee is an expression of who he is. An un tidy pers on mayrightly be thought of as a person of low social status or even low quality. "Any person with a bit of self-respect can look nice if he wants to. Expensive clothes aren't necessary And if a person decides notto look prese ntable, why should I give him respect?" one pers on says.【U5】There are two ways to spoil a child, that is, “ overi ndulge nee ” and “ oversubmissive ness with overindulgent parenting is that it starves the child of the opportunity to think for himself. It alsokeeps him from making his own decisions and developing his own needs and preferences. An overindulged child never has to struggle to get something for himself. He never has to entertain any idea, chances or possible difficulties. When his parents are busy to prepare everything for him and he' s tired of all his toys, this child is “ spoiled ” into believing that life will provida WiHhip eterythingown effort. And whe n he grows up he will expect every one to read his mind and provide for him in this way.The other kind of spoiling is oversubmissive ness. An oversubmissive pare nt gives in to all his child ' s dema nds, ofte n because he fears the child won' tove him if he does n ' t. Hjust isn 'able to give a(n) firm “ No” . The pare nt has no time to himself, can ' t get the child to chDoanyttniaiK g wTte nt,and has to liste n to whining continuously. When he ' s hac too much , he explodes in an ger. Then he gives in to the child even more because he feels guilty for exploding. Children need to learn that there are firm and consistent limits, and that they won ' t be allowed to a t dVantage of other people.The child with an oversubmissive pare nt does n ' ie arn to accept a “ No"from other people, or to set limits for himself. He learns to get his way by fussing and the ever-present threat: youf loved me,you ' d do what I want. ”The child “ spoiled ” by oversubmissive pare nting grows up into a tee nager and adult with nits to his behavior. He also becomes a person who won' t respect other people ' limits and personal boundaries. He makes life miserable for his parents, spouse, and children, infringing on their rights and feelings. He does this without even being aware of the people he hurts. Clearly, this is not good for an ybody.Avoidi ng these two ways of spoili ng is difficult, but well worth the effort.【U4】Uni versities are at their best whe n they do more tha n give stude nts kno wledge about their subjects.A new scie nee and engin eeri ng first degree program is creat ing a lot of exciteme nt at the Massachusetts In stitute of Tech no logy (MIT). It is help ing to prepare stude nts to become leaders capable of creat ing and direct ing cha nge in local, n ati on al, and global com mun ities. Experts believe that much can be expected of this. The details might be of some interest to you.Three years ago, MIT worked with Leadership, Inc. to create the institute-based Leader Shape Institute. Program leaders call it “ a serious and creative response to ctoa iay ngeS' . They mesabasicto develop stude nts and engin eers who are prepared to "lead with in tegrity ical^fieidS h in tech no logand in society. Cen tral to the effort is help ing stude nts to lear n to liste n to society as it expresses its n eed for cha nge.For the past three summers, the Leader Shape Institute has provided 120 MIT scienee and engin eeri ng stude nts with a thorough six-day experie nee featuri ng highly in teractive teach ing and learning methodologies. Throughout the program, students develop skills in problem identification and problem solving They are also instructed in professional morals, decision-making, dealing withun certa in ty, work ing with in a diverse com muni ty, and relati on ship com mun icatio n. Most discussi ons and activities take place in assigned small “ groups ” . These groups provide supportive, safe environments that promote learning. It is meant that students develop new skills and attitudes. Each participant creates an in dividual pla n of action called a which issaomain e|eme nt of the Leader Shape curriculum. Eachvisi on must be desig ned to bring confident cha nge to the in stitute com muni ty. It must be carried out during the following school year.So what do stude nts thi nk about what they lear n from the Leader Shape In stitute? Nearly every one asked about it speaks highly of their experie nee. One stude nt, Christy Roberts on, said that it had cha nged her life. " I feel that the things I ' ve learned here are more important than anything else Ia university classroom, ” she said. " I only wish igi at uip ctnjtdke it a second time. ” Many other stude nts feel the same way.【U3】Choosing your life partner is a decision that requires very careful thought. Getting married is someth ing you do not want to take lightly . Divorce rates around world are in creas ing every year. And in some countries they are now as high as 50 percent ! If you don' want to end up divorced and heart-broke n, take my advice to help you choose your perfect partner.First of all, you and your part ner should be compatible. You n eed to know that you share a com mon purpose in life. You and your part ner should have similar goals and ambiti ons that you can work toward achieving through your marriedlife. It will be difficult to keep your marriage together if your partner wants to stay at home and raise a large family, but you want to travel the world. You might have difficulty telling him that you want to have a life free from having children.Next, ask yourself this question: Is my partner a person with whom I can share my deepest thoughts and feelings? In other words, can you be completely honest and open with this person? Or do you sometimes feel shy and uncomfortable telling her how you feel? If your situation is the former, then you have probably found your true love. If, however, it is the latter, take your time before you marry this pers on.Marry a person who is polite and kind to others; he will be polite and kind to you. In my experienee, you can lear n a lot about the true n ature of a pers on by watch ing how he treats other people. If some one is kind and giving to family and frien ds, he will do the same to you. Some one who has good manners and is polite and respectful when dealing with others is whom you should be looking for. He will show you the same consideration.Fin ally, whe n you enter into a relatio nship with some one, remember that you should not expect to cha nge that pers on. Be sure that the pers on you are getting together with is some one you like exactly the way he is. Otherwise, you are sure to be disappo in ted.【U2】The Olympics were first started by the Greeks and were very religious in n ature. The Greeks honored their gods by holding competitions as well as by singing and dancing. When the Games were held, all the cities of Greece stopped their wars to show their respect for the gods.There were originally four tow ns in which the Games were held and each tow n held the Games once in four years. But the Games at Olympia were the most important . The four-year period from the beg inning of one Olympic Games to the begi nning of the next became known as an “ Olympiad ”.Apart from the singing and dancing, the Games were very like the modern Olympics of today. There were foot-races in a stadium over long and short distances. There were jumping events, throwing events, and box ing.Only men were allowed to compete in or watch these early games. Later women were allowed towatch but they did not compete. The stadium in Greek times was built in a horseshoe shape Thousa nds of men, and later women, applauded the greatest athletes in the country as they competed. They looked forward to the Games with much exciteme nt.The ancient Olympic Games of Greece took place every four years for hundreds of years. But after the fifth cen tury B.C., the Greeks were overpowered by the Roma ns. The n Greece became part of the Roma n Empire. In Roma n times the Olympic Games became less of a religious eve nt tha n it was duri ng Greek times. The focus cha nged to the games themselves. Further cha nges to the Olympic Games have been made since Even with the changes to the Olympic Games, however, we still remember the place of their birth.And we are reminded of the original Games even more, because Greece hosted the games very recently. The 2004 Summer Olympics were held in Athens, Greece. Over 200 countries participated in the Games. Also, for the first time ever, the Olympic flame, now very important to the Olympics, traveled around the world in a relay. The excitement of 2004 and thatof the original competitions stays with us as we look forward to future Olympic Games.【U1】“ You' regoing to another country to study? How wonderful! You're really lucky! ”But is it true all the time? Specialists in intercultural studies say that it is not easy to adjust to life in a new culture. They call the feeli ngs which people experience whe n they come to a new en vir onment cult ure shock.Accord ing to these specialists, there are three stages of culture shock. In the first stage, the n ewcom ers like their en viro nment. Then, whe n the newn ess wears off, they begi n to hate the city, the coun try, t he people, the apartme nt, and everyth ing else in the new culture .In the final stage of culture shock, the n ewcomers beg in to adjust to their surroundin gs. As a result , they enjoy their life more.Some of the factors in culture shock are obvious. Perhaps the customs are differe nt. Perhaps the pu blic service n etworks such as the teleph one or post office are difficult to understand and you make mista kes. The simplest things seem difficult. The Ian guage may be difficult. The food may seem stra nge to you. You may also miss the familiar smells of the food you are used to in your own coun try. If you don't look s imilar to the n atives, you may feel stra nge. You may feel like every one is watching you. In fact, you are al ways watch ing yourself. You are self-consciousWho experie nces culture shock? Everyone does in some form or ano ther. But culture shock comes a s a surprise to most people. A lot of the time, the people with the worst culture shock are the people who never had any difficulties in their own coun tries. They had hobbies or leisure activities which they enjoye d back in their mother coun try. When they come to a new coun try, they do not have the same establishe d positions or hobbies. They find themselves without a role, almost without a(n) identity . They have to _b uild a new self-image. This can take a long time.。

【综合训练15选10】Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war？War is an ancient institution，which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always bad and usually foolish，but in the past human race managed to live with it. For the present，it is atomic bombs that cause the most serious danger，but bacteriological or chemical weapons may，before long，offer an even greater threat.It seems taht we will never succeed in getting rid of war. To do this，we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way，not as competitions of force.Attitudes must be changed so that victories aren’t achieved by the side which is most skillful in killing people，but according to agreed principles of law. It is not easy to change very old mental habits，but this is what must be attempted.Nuclear war must be avoid. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world，but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought，even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die，that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays can be solved though talks.【U9】Self-confidence gives us hope. It is a servant who gives its master light when he is in the dark. And it is encouragement when a person is discouraged. A person is a fool if he thinks that he is unable to carry out a difficult task while others do not find it difficult. It is neither genius nor extraordinary ability that gives us the power to deal with and overcome whatever hardship we meet. In truth it is the magic of self-trust that encourages us with bravery.Some people find most things impossible because they do not trust their own ability. Actually, they have the ability to make themselves successful, but it is a pity that they do not believe in themselves. People of this kind are more foolish than those who actually can not fulfill the work. This is on account of their ignorance. People who can’t do a job are pardonable, but those who do not believe in themselves deserve no excuse. In short, success will not come to the door of a person who thinks he is not worthy enough to accept it. On the contrary , failure would be his life companion. This is why a person ought to believe in himself.【U8】Employment became widespread when the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries began. It made many people dependent on paid jobs by depriving them of the use of the land, and thus of the means to provide a living for themselves. Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed work from people's homes. Later, as transport improved, first by rail then by road, people commuted longer distances to their places of employment .Eventually, many people's work lost all connection with their home lives and the places in which they lived.Meanwhile, employment put women at a disadvantage as men and women had shared the productive work of the household and village community .Now,it becomes customary for the husband to go out to paidemployment, leaving the unpaid work of the home and family to his wife. Tax and benefit regulations limit more flexible sharing of work roles between the sexes.It was not only women whose work status suffersd.As employment became the dominant form of work , young people and old people were not included.This is a problem now, as more teenagers become frustrated at school and more retired people want to live active lives.【U7】Workaholism can be a serious problem. True workaholics(工作狂) would rather work than do anything else and they probably don't know how to relax. that is, they might not enjoy movies, sports, or other types of entertainment. Most of all, they hate to sit and do nothing. The lives of workaholics are usually stressful, and this tension and worry can cause health problems such as heart attacks or stomach ulcers. In addition, typical workaholics don't pay much attention to their families. They spend little time with their children, and their marriages may end in divorce.Is workaholism always dangerous? Perhaps not. There are, certainly, people who work well under stress. Some studies show that many workaholics have great energy and interest in life. Their work is so pleasurable that they are actually very happy. For most workaholics, work and entertainment are the the same things. Their jobs provide them with a challenge. This keeps them busy and creative. Other people retire from work at age six-five. Workaholics, on the other hand, usually prefer not to quit working. They are still enthusiastic about work-and life-in their eighties and nineties.Why do workaholics enjoy their jobs so much? There are several advantages to work. Of course, it provides people with paychecks, and this is important. But it offers more than financia l security. It provides people with self-confidence; they have a feeling of satisfaction when they've produced a challenging piece of work.Some of the more obvious forms of nonverbal communication are gestures. Although we may think of them as mainly hand and arm movements, gestures can be communicated by other parts of the body as well. Emblems are one type of movements.Emblems do not need speech to communicate meaning. Putting the tip of an index finger on the tip of a thumb up with the remaining fingers pointing up and spreading out is an example of an emblem. This recognized sign for "OK" or "success" does not need any accompanying word to identify it.Emblems not only serve the substituting role in nonverbal communication but they also have direct translation. For example, a thumb-up sign means "yes" or "go". A cupped hand behind the ear means "I can't hear you." we don't walk around with our thumbs up or a hand cupped behind our ear. Unless we are sending a nonverbal message to someone. These messages are consciously sent and we must take responsibility for them. Nonverbal messages that have direct translation and exact meaning, which are directed at a specific receiver, and consciously sent, are emblems. Emblems are also different across cultures. In the United States, pointing your index finger at your temple with the thumb upright means "shooting yourself in the head". In Japan, an emblem describing suicide is pushing a closed fist near your stomach to describe the plunge of a knife in your vital organs.【U5】Job seekers are discovering that smoking can endanger their careers. Newspaper classified advertisements frequently specify that employers are looking for "nonsmokers only." One of the first questions asked of the person who applicants for the job at Vanguard Electronic Tool in Redmond, Washington, is "Do you smoke?" If the answer is yes, the interview is over. That is perfectly legal. On the other hand, federal laws forbid an employer to discriminate on the basis of race, sex, religion, or marital status.Many smokers may secretly welcome the company’s campaign against smoking., says Robert Rosner, executive director of the Seattle-based Smoking Policy Institute, a consulting firm that advises companies on how to formulate smoking policies. "The fact is most smokers want to quit." Many of them embrace the new corporate activism as an incentive to give up tobacco once and for all. At Rhode Island's Newport Dai ly News, it was the smokers who voted to ban smoking from the workplaces.More and more companies have carried out restrictions on smoking.These companies are attempting to help their employees kick the habit. BMC Software, a Texas company that prohibits smoking on the job, has sent employees to anti-smoking hypnosis sessions. The five sessions cost employees $30, but if they stay off cigarettes for four months, the money will be refunded.【U4】One of the more important communicative tasks may confront a traveler. That is the recognition of when a speaker has said "no." That is, one needs to be able to recognize that a respondent has refused or denied what the speaker has demanded, solicited, or offered. Equally, one needs to acquire the appropriate manner in which to respond in the negative when offered, solicited, or demanded something.It is granted that it is sometimes difficult to recognize a refusal in one's mother tongue where the answer might beunclear. However, in many encounters the meaning can be made clear. This is possible if one knows how to read the appropriate signals.A first task for the visitor abroad is to discover which forms are used to fulfill this function. If we compare form and function across cultures, it soon becomes clear that one form may be used to mean different things in another culture than in one's own. For example, in Turkish "no" is signaled by moving one's head backwards while rolling one's eyes upwards. However, to an American this movement is close to the signal used for saying "yes." Further, in still other cultures, head shaking may have nothing to do with affirmation or negation. In parts of India, rolling the head slowly from side to side means something like "Yes, go on, I'm listening." Thus, as one goes from culture to culture, form and function may not match. If a foreigner wants to communicate appropriately, he must develop the competence of sending and receiving “no” messages.【U3】A wedding is celebrated with some kind of ceremony almost everywhere in the world. The ceremony is different among different nations and different religions . But whatever form a marriage ceremony might take, it serves the important purpose of announcing to the community that a man and a woman have been joined in marriage. The wedding ceremony in the West may be a religious one performed by a clergyman, or a civil ceremony led by a civil official, such as a mayor or a judge. Or it may only be a couple’s declaration before witnesses of their intention to marry. Some young people nowadays choose their own marriage ceremony.Many of the customs associated with wedding ceremonies developed from wedding customs of the earliest times and came from many lands. The wearing of a bridal veil may have come from a superstition dating back to early Greek and Roman times. The veil is also believed to have been worn as a(n) intention of the bride’s status. She would wear it to show that she was innocent and pure.The wedding ring is the most widely used symbol of marriage today, as it has been for centuries. The word “wedding” comes from the old English word “wed”, which means “promise”.During Anglo-Saxon times a(n) promise to marry was made certain when the bridegroom-to-be gave his sweetheart a ring. The ring, a circle with no beginning or end, was considered a symbol of eternity, The third finger of the left hand was chosen as the ring finger because of the mistaken belief that a vein or nerve runs from the finger to the heart.【U2】Every sport has its great legends: soccer has Pele, basketball has Michael Jordan. Is there one athlete who people consider to be the best ever? Many would say that person is boxer Muhammad Ali, known to his many fans as ‘the greatest.’At the age of twelve, he began boxing; by the time he reached high school, he was a successful amateur(业余) boxer. After winning six state and two national boxing championships, he competed in the 1960 Olympic, where he won a gold medal. After the Olympic ,his success as a boxer continued.The man who called himself ‘the greatest’ still faced many challenges, though. After winning his Olympic gold medal, he returned home to the United States. He was not allowed to stay in certain hotels or eat in certain restaurants because of the color of his skin. Ali was disgusted(反感) with racism in the U.S., so he threw his Olympic medal into a river.Ali surprised the world again in 1966, not for his boxing skills, but with his strong religious beliefs as a Muslim. He disagreed with the U.S. war in Vietnam and refused to join the army, which all young men in the U.S. had to do at the same time. As a result, Ali’s heavyweight t itle was taken away, and he faced great toubles with the law. After some time ,Ali’s won wide support from the public and from his country’s leders , who said that they admired him for acting according to his strong, moral conviction.No other sporting legend has done so much.【U1】Foreigners experience different degrees of culture shock. The symptoms range from great to small. Some people are only ill at ease and some others are seriously depressed . Feeling homesick, unhappy, and very sensitive are other signs of culture shock. It is easy to understand that the endless frustrations of the early days in a new country would produce di ssatisfaction . It is also easy to understand why hostility might grow in a person . People are always at ease in a familiar environment. It is natural for an average person to experiences mild, temporary symptoms; the insecure newcomer suffers more seriously from a culture shock.During the inevitable period of adjustment, the international student tends to complain about everything in the new environment. In fact, the student is likely to exaggerate the problems. When the student meets another miserable person from the same country, he will pour out his unhappy feelings. Together they can complain in their native language. Although this complaining provides temporary satisfaction, it certainly does not help him adjust to a new society. Being negative will never get rid of the feelings of frustrations. The mature person understands that a positive attitude, determination, and flexibility are important in making the change successful. A sense of humor is a big help.。

Unit 1As a foreigner doing business in the United States, I feel very rushed. I am used to friendly opening exchanges when doing business. Here in Chicago, things are different. There is no time for getting to know one another. This does not seem appropriate to me. There is no chance to develop a sense of trust when people meet to talk over issues. There are no rituals like tea or coffee before discussing business, though this is a(n) convention in my country. When we discuss business it starts with a(n) leisurely chat. I think that it is important for business partners to get familiar with each other first and to feel relaxed. If the exchange is too abrupt , there is a risk that something will be forgotten. Some possibilities go without being assessed when there is too much pressure. I don't believe this is the best strategy for proper communication. Besides, the perception is that they just don't care about you as an individual here. You are basically just another means of making money.All of this used to create a real dilemma for me. At first, it caused me to have as little interaction with American business partners as possible. Gradually, though, I have come to understand the cultural differences between our two countries. This has really helped me to feel more comfortable doing business here.作为一个外国人在美国做生意，我觉得很匆忙。
