Who Killed Nokia? Nokia executives attempted to explain its fall from the top of the smartphone pyramid with three factors: 1) that Nokia was technically inferior to Apple, 2) that the company was complacent and 3) that its leaders didn＇t see the disruptive iPhone coming. It has also been argued that it was none of the above. Nokia lost the smartphone battle because of divergent shared fears among the company＇s middle and top managers which led to company-wide inertia that left it powerless to respond to Apple＇s game. Based on the findings of an in-depth investigation and 76 interviews with top and middle managers, engineers and external experts, the researchers discovered a culture of fear due to temperamental leaders and that frightened middle managers were scared of telling the truth. The fear that froze the company came from two places. First, the company＇s top managers had a terrifying reputation. Some members of Nokia＇s board and top management were described as “extremely temperamental” and they regularly shouted at people “at the top of their lungs”. It was very difficult to tell them things they didn＇t want to hear. Secondly, top managers were afraid of the external environment and not meeting their quarterly targets,which also impacted how they treated middle managers. Top managers thus made middle managers afraid of disappointing them. Middle managers were told that they were not ambitious enough to meet top managers＇goals. Fearing the reactions of top managers, middle managers remained silent or provided optimistic, filtered information. Thus, middle managers directly lied to top management. Worse, a culture of status inside Nokia made everyone want to hold onto vested power for fear of resources being allocated elsewhere if they delivered bad news or showed that they were not bold or ambitious enough to undertake challenging assignments. Beyond verbal pressure, top managers also applied pressure for faster performance in personnel selection. This led middle managers to over promise and under deliver. One middle manager told us that “you can get resources by promising something earlier, or promising a lot. It＇s sales work.” While modest fear might be h ealthy for motivation, abusing it can be like overusing a drug, which risks generating harmful side effects. To reduce this risk, leaders should coordinate with the varied emotions of the staff. Nokia＇s top managers should have encouraged safe dialogue, internal coordination and feedback to understand the true emotion in the organization. 操作提示：正确选T，错误选F。

英语考试作文英语六级写作真题及范文：能力和外表Abilities and Good Looks英语六级写作范文题目是“不要以貌取人It is unwise to put all eggs in one basket. It is unwise to judge a person by appearance.”，下面范文中的素材可用在本次的考试中。

英语六级作文参考范文：Abilities and Good Looks能力和外表We are often told not to judge people by their appearance, because for a person, abilities are far more important than appearance. Throughout history, there are numerous examples of outstanding people with remarkable achievements who are just plain or not good-looking at all.我们经常被告诫不要通过自己的外表来判断人，因为对于一个人，能力比容貌更重要。

在历史上，有许多杰出的人都有杰出的成就，他们只是纯素或不好看。

However, nowadays some people hold the belief thatappearance outweighs abilities, partly because some beautiful people seem to have advantages in competitive situations like job interviews and have been given more opportunities than others.然而，现在有些人认为外表比能力，部分原因是由于一些漂亮的人似乎都在像面试竞争情况下的优势，得到了比别人。

the diamond-shaped patch（补丁）on backpacks that seems,at best,someone's strange idea of a design feature.But it proves that the patch is actually very useful for staying organised.The slotted（有开槽的） patch,which is typically found on the front of backpacks,is called a "lash tab"，and is made to hold your lash tab spare clothing on ropes.For hikers and backpackers,that might mean hanging items that you often reach for,such as a water bottle,and for employees carrying a backpack to the office,it might mean hanging headphones or electronic chargers through the slot for easy access.Lash tabs once appeared only on backpacks created for adventures in the great outdoors,but in recent years it has become an important part on a variety of backpack styles.The blog Carryology reports that lash tabs were once a "leather patch that let you pass a bit of webbing through it to fasten items to your pack".Since then,the tabs have been adapted using many different styles and materials.If your backpack comes without the tabs and now you don't know how you'll live without them,you'll be relieved to learn that the styling of lash tabs has become so popular that you can now purchase your own and attach them to your favourite backpack.The tab can also prove useful for travellers,as you can even thread the laces of shoes through the tab to let them hang off your pack,giving you extra space in your checked luggage or carry-on.（1）According to the passage,some backpacks have lash tabs to ___ .A.carry more itemsB.look more beautifulC.show a design featureD.draw people's attention（2）From the passage,we can learn that lash tabs ___ .A.are designed only for outdoor adventurersB.have been developed into various stylesC.can be designed by the usersD.are all made of leather（3）What is the purpose of the passage？ ___A.To offer comments.B.To give advice.C.To make recommendations.D.To provide information.11.（填空题，8分）When senior leaders at toymaker Lego first learned that adults were buying large quantities of their plastic bricks and getting together to build Lego creations of their own,"they thought it was very strange," says Smith-Meyer. "Before the late 1990s,the company didn't think their adult fans had value," says Smith-Meyer. "Leadership actually thought adults were having a negative impact on the brand." Thanks to a handful of employees who worked to coupling bricks change attitudes inside the company,gone are the days when labels on Lego boxes stated that the contents were appropriate only for children ages 7 to 12.Lego's newest marketing motto is "Adults Welcome."Today Lego is the world's largest and most profitable toymaker.The enthusiasm and buying power of adult fans of Lego played a major role in the company's rise to the top.But insiders say the road from "kids only" to "adults welcome" was a long,uphill climb.Lego founder Ole Kirk Kristiansen always knew he wanted to market his products completely to kids.When Kristiansen started The Lego Group in 1932，he made wooden toys that were intended for children.In 1946，he began making plastic toys.In 1958，he and his son developed the first coupling bricks,the basic design of which hasn't changed much over the years.They're even used together with bricks made today.As the company grew over its first six decades,few imagined that its products could attract as many adults as children.Then attitudes began to shift in the late 1990s and early 2000s when Lego posted its first-ever loss in 1998.By 2003，when it reported a﹩238 million loss,the company was looking seriously at bankruptcy（破产）. "Those were Lego's dark days," McKee says.In the wake of the crisis,"Everyone suddenly wanted to see what designs I'd been working on with adult fans," McKee says.In August 2005，when Lego CEO Jorgen Vig Knudstorp attended a fan meeting,he saw for himself the sea of adult supporters. "I see a future where we will be working more closely together," he recalls.The booming partnership would eventually produce some of the company's most popular and profitable themes,including Lego Creator and Lego's Ambassador Network,and the company's first-ever official fan conference：2021's Lego Con."Lego used to treat their adult customers like goods；today,they treat them like partners," McKee says.（1）What did Ole Kirk Kristiansen do in 1932？ ___A.He developed the first coupling bricks.B.He and his son invented wooden toys.C.He began making plastic toys.D.He set up his toy company.（2）Lego changed its attitude towards its adult fans when the company ___ .A.was faced with a business crisisB.started treating them like goodsC.got financial support from themD.found its products less attractive to kids（3）What can we learn from the passage？ ___A.Lego was forced to replace wooden toys with plastic ones.B.Lego's basic design of the first coupling bricks are still in use.C.Lego's partnership with gifted kids produced popular themes.D.Lego has targeted adults as potential customers since it was founded.（4）What is the passage mainly about？ ___A.The world's largest and most profitable toymaker.B.Lego's shift from "kids only" to "adults welcome".C.Lego's dark days of the creation of plastic toys.D.The brief but awesome history of Lego.12.（填空题，8分）Many children's hospitals already have storytelling programmes that aimto cheer up patients.But new research suggests that storytelling also has physiological（生理的）benefits. "Until now,the positive evidence for storytelling was based on 'common sense' that interacting with the child may distract,entertain and reduce psychological suffering," said Dr Jorge Moll,of D'Or Institute for Research and Education（IDOR），Brazil. "But there was a lackof a solid scientific basis.""During storytelling,something happens that we call 'narrative transportation'.Thechild,through fantasy,can experience sensations and thoughts that transport him or her to another world,a place that is different from the hospital room,and is,therefore,far from the unpleasant conditions of hospitalization," says Guilherme Brockington.The team,based at IDOR and the Federal University of ABC，Brazil,studied 81 children between the ages of two and seven,all of whom were in the intensive care unit（ICU）at a hospital in São Paulo.A group of 41 children each had a session with a storyteller,lasting 25 to 30 minutes.A control group of 40 children each had the same amount of time with the same professionals,but they told riddles instead.Before and after the sessions,the team took saliva （唾液）samples from each child and assessed their pain level.The saliva samples allowed the researchers to measure levels of the hormone cortisol,which is related to stress,and the hormone oxytocin,which plays a role in empathy（共情）.Both groups of children benefited from the sessions：they all had less cortisol and more oxytocin in their saliva,suggesting they were less stressed,and they reported less pain and discomfort.However,the results were twice as strong for the storytelling group as the control group.At the end of the sessions,the children also took part in a word-association exercise including words like 'hospital'，'nurse' and 'doctor'.The team said that children from the control group said "this is the bad woman who comes to give me an injection" in response to the pictures of a doctor or a nurse,while the storytelling group said "this is the woman who comes to cure me"."I consider this study to be one of the most important I have participated in,due to its potential direct impact on practices in the hospital environment,aiming at the relief of human suffering.We intend to support volunteering devoted to the noble activity of storytelling,now with more solid scientific evidence," said Moll.（1）According to the passage,"narrative transportation" indicates children ___ .A.feel that they are placed into the world of a storyB.fire up their imagination and expand their horizonsC.have more empathy with the characters in the storiesD.experience the unpleasant conditions of hospitalization（2）In Para.3，the author mainly tells the readers about ___ .A.the application of the researchB.the purpose of the researchC.the limitation of the researchD.the process of the research（3）How does the author present the findings of the research？ ___A.By making comparisons.B.By giving definitions.C.By presenting examples.D.By analyzing cause and effect.（4）Which of the following may be the response from the storytelling group？ ___A.A hospital is the place where I go when I'm very sick.B.A hospital is the place where I get an injection in my arm.C.A hospital is the place where I am taken care of to feel better.D.A hospital is the place where I'll have to take some medicine.13.（填空题，8分） We often work to save the most charismatic （有超凡魅力的） species in the world.Is it time to think beyond pandas and tigers？Take a good look at the American burying beetle.Today it is assessed as critically endangered.Like the tiger,the beetle is orange and black；like the tiger,the beetle is decreasing in number.The tiger is an instantly recognizable symbol of species conservation,but most people aren't familiar with the beetle.the American burying beetleThis phenomenon is called the domination of flagship species where organizations use charismatic organisms（生物）such as tigers to increase support and funding for conservation.That's largely because humans are attracted to large-bodied animals with forward-facing eyes,humanlike traits that make such species more relatable.As a result,many less well-known organisms fail to get the support and funding to ensure their survival even though they play an important role in the ecosystem.Which species could be saved？They may not charm us with fuzzy paws and puppy dog eyes,but many ignored species deserve some love.The world needs to better recognize the contributions of these underdogs rather than "only spending money on cool species," says conservation scientist Bob Smith.I suspect that most of us who care about animals could agree on this：Charisma is in the eye of the beholder.In that case,can't we broaden the list of animals considered popular and even beautiful？University of Kent conservationist Bob Smith says we can—and there's a name for them：Cinderella species.These are mostly threatened animals that are still very popular with the public yet are typically overlooked as flagships.Smith is convinced that "less well-known and less popular species can still be good flagships with more marketing effort."In a recent study,Smith settled another myth about poster animals：that they don't help publicize the world's most species-rich and threatened places.A prioritization（优先次序）model Smith created showed that the most important conservation hot spots worldwide alsoare home to more than 500 flagship and Cinderella species,and that drawing more attention to Cinderella species could boost funding and public campaigns for habitat protection.Let's be clear,though：It's still OK to root for pandas and tigers. "The reason I got into conservation is that I liked these species," Smith says. "That is fair enough.But it's our job as conservationists to try to inspire people to love other species too."（1）According to the passage,people are unfamiliar with the American burying beetle mainly because ___ .A.it is critically endangeredB.it is decreasing in numberC.it is not a flagship speciesD.it is not instantly recognizable（2）It can be learned from the passage that ___ .A.Cinderella species have made threatened species well knownB.Cinderella species are popular but ignored endangered animalsC.flagship species have raised enough funds for endangered organismsD.flagship species and Cinderella species usually live in the same areas（3）The underlined phrase "root for" in the last paragraph probably means ___ .A.take control ofB.get close toC.show support forD.check up on（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？ ___A.It's Time to Study Cinderella SpeciesB.Who Should Decide Which Species to Save？C.Do Flagship Species Help or Hurt Conservation？D.Conservation Can't Just Be a Popularity Contest14.（填空题，14分）significant benefit anxious appear advertisement comfort novel （1）The twins are alike both in ___ and in character.（2）Sit in the sofa,enjoy beautiful music and make yourself ___ .（3）Exercising regularly and eating appropriately are ___ to our health.（4）The teacher encourages us to read English ___ to expand our vocabulary.（5）Her voice was full of ___ when she learnt her mom was sent to the hospital.（6）If you want to attract more customers and market your products,try to ___ in the local paper.（7）Students' academic performance and physical health have been improved ___ since the new policy was carried out.15.（填空题，1分）Just imagine this time next year,we ___ （lie） in the sun in Sanya.16.（填空题，1分）My car won't start - I'll have to go to a garage and have it ___ （fix）.17.（填空题，1分）Comedy, ___ styles are varied,is simply a funny way of being serious.18.（填空题，1分）___ （communicate） with your parents can help them understand you better.19.（填空题，1分）Foreigners found ___ interesting to watch crosstalk in a traditional theater.20.（填空题，1分）Mary was pleased to see the seeds that she ___ （plant）in the garden coming out.21.（填空题，1分）Experts suggested ___ （raise） people's awareness of environmental protection.22.（填空题，1分）The problems, ___ we have in our daily life,may be inspirations for great inventions.23.（填空题，1分）Some pre-school children go to a day care center, ___ they learn simple games and songs.24.（填空题，1分）I am sure you will do better in the coming examination,since you ___ （study） so hard for months.25.（问答题，2分）她急切地想体验新生活。

Then, I drove to meet my new piano teacher, Mark.I had worked for more than three decades as a busy English teacher with an endless stream of papers to mark and precious little time to experiment or learn new skills. I was determined to make up for all I had been missing. I wanted to finally master the piano and learn how to make music.I told Mark I had a specific concrete goal: to play Clair de lune by Claude Debussy, a piece I remember hearing from early childhood.Determined that there would be a day when I would totally master this piece, I set myself a deadline: I would perform before a gathering of friends on my 60th birthday. For months I did nothing but furiously (猛烈地) practise. When the day came, around 30 friends and relatives crowded into my dining room to hear me play, and aside from a few minor slips, I managed to pull it off without embarrassing myself. People clapped warmly. I made it. I had risen to a challenge, but I still didn’t feel that I was really “making music”.After that, my progress was painfully slow. I had come to hate hearing myself play music badly. I got no pleasure from the act of missing notes.I began focusing on what few things I could do: gardening and cycling. I came to understand that I didn’t have to be that man I’d always thought I ought to be. I could just do what feels good. So, after nearly five years of lessons, I quit.I still love music; I regularly go out to concerts. But now my piano does nothing more than sit silently in my dining room, displaying family photos and collecting dust. And I’m perfectly happy with that.4．Why did the author learn the piano after retiring from teaching?A．To impress his friends and relatives.B．To avoid the boredom of retirement.C．To start a new career as a concert pianist.D．To pursue a long-time passion for music. 5．What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A．The author attended a concert of piano music.B．The author performed successfully despite a few errors.C．The author felt embarrassed about his piano performance.D．The author quit his piano immediately after his 60th birthday.6．What does the author do with his piano now?A．He uses it for music lessons.B．He uses it for performance.C．He uses it for something unrelated to music.D．He plays it for personal enjoyment occasionally.7．Which of the following can best describe the author?A．Inner- directed and hardworking.B．Conventional and careless.C．Ambitious and kind-hearted.D．Lazy and pessimistic.When it comes to diatoms (硅藻类) that live in the ocean, new research suggests that photosynthesis (光合作用) is not the only strategy for accumulating carbon. Instead, these single-celled are also building biomass by feeding directly on organic carbon in the ocean.These new findings could lead researchers to reduce their estimate of how much carbon dioxide diatoms pull out of the air via photosynthesis, which in turn, could take a much closer look at the understanding of the global carbon cycle, which is especially relevant given the changing climate. The new findings were published in Science Advances on July 17, 2024.The team showed that the diatom Cylindrotheca closterium, which is found in oceans around the world, regularly performs a mix of both photosynthesis and direct eating of carbon from organic sources such as plankton (浮游生物) . In more than 70% of the water samples the researchers analyzed from oceans around the world, the team found signs of simultaneous photosynthesis and direct organic carbon consumption from Cylindrotheca closterium. The team also showed that this diatom species can grow much faster when consuming organic carbon in addition to photosynthesis. Furthermore, the new research hinted at the possibility that specificspecies of bacteria are feeding organic carbon directly to a large percentage of these diatoms living all across the global ocean. This work is based on a genome-scale metabolic modeling approach that the team used to reveal the metabolism of the diatom Cylindrotheca closterium.The team’s new metabolic modeling data support recent lab experiments suggesting that some diatoms may rely on strategies other than photosynthesis to intake the carbon they need to survive, thrive and build biomass.The UC San Diego led team is in the process of expanding the scope of the project to determine how widespread this non-photosynthetic activity is among other diatom species. 8．What’s new according to the research?A．The way of the diatom’s carbon accumulation.B．The impact of climate on diverse sea plants.C．The procedure of exploring carbon.D．The system of building biomass.9．What do the new findings make researchers more focus on?A．The causes of climate change.B．The grasp of the carbon cycle.C．The bad effect of photosynthesis on diatoms.D．A rough estimate of the amount of carbon dioxide.10．What do we know from paragraph 3?A．A large number of diatoms may feed on bacteria.B．The diatom lives on plankton.C．Water samples are key factors for the research.D．Diatom species grow faster with sufficient sunlight11．Which is the most suitable title for the text?A．Photosynthesis in Diatoms B．Plankton’s Role in OceansC．New Carbon Strategies in Diatoms D．Advances in Modeling DataAccording to a report in 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended that non-sugar sweeteners not be used as a means of achieving weight control or reducing the risk of diseases. The guideline came as a surprise. After all, the very purpose of non-sugar sweeteners-which contain little to no calories—is to help consumers control their weight and reduce their risk of disease by replacing sugar.In its report, the WHO cited evidence that long-term use of non-sugar sweeteners is associated with an increased risk of diabetes (糖尿病) and death. How is it that non-sugar sweeteners are linked to the negative health effects they’re supposed to fend off?The WHO made its recommendation after reviewing hundreds of published studies. The problem is that the overwhelming majority of these studies are observational. In such studies, subjects tend to self-report their food intake, which might not guarantee inaccuracy. More importantly, observational studies cannot determine cause and effect. Are non-sugar sweeteners causing diabetes, or are people at risk of diabetes simply more likely to consume them? Lastly, there are numerous variables that researchers can’t possibly control for in these studies that could influence the results.Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) tell a different story about non-sugar sweeteners. These studies control for variables by randomly assigning people to either a treatment or control group, and they can determine cause and effect. They show that sweeteners modestly benefit weight loss and help control blood sugar, without the negative effects seen in observational research. The downside of RCTs is that they are shorter in duration, often lasting just a few months. So negative effects could appear after longer use and we wouldn’t be able to tell from these RCTs.But we also can’t tell from observational studies, which only measure correlation and not causality (因果关系) . Changing the current situation might be hard, though. RCTs are expensive and require recruiting participants, setting up diet plans, and regularly measuring subjects’ health outcomes.For change to happen, it might need to start at the top, where science is funded Government agencies, which appropriate billions for research, should start prioritizing RCTs.12．What do the underlined phrase “fend off” probably mean in paragraph 2?A．Put out.B．Defend against.C．Keep up.D．Count on. 13．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．The WHO’s suggestions on observational studies.B．The strategies to decide cause and effect in conducting studies.C．The significance of controlling variables in observational studies.D．The limitations of the observational studies in the WHO report.14．What is a feature of RCTs according to the text?A．They cost little B．They tend to last long.C．They can control variables and determine causality.D．They require participants to self-report related data15．How should the government help RCTs?A．By making appropriate plans B．By providing financial supportC．By raising people’s awareness of health D．By founding more related governmentagenciesTo make science’s stories more concrete and engaging, it’s important to use some effective strategies. Here are four of them. Put people in the storyScience’s stories often lack human characters. 16 . Characters can be also people affected by a scientific topic, or interested in learning more about it. Besides, they can be storytellers who are sharing their personal experiences.17People often think of science as objective and fair. But science is actually a human practice that continuously involves choices, missteps and biases (偏见) . If you explain science as a course, you can walk people through the sequence of how science is done and why researchers reach certain conclusions. 18 . And they can also stress the reason why people should trust the course of science to provide the most accurate conclusions possible given the available information. Include what people care aboutScientific topics are important, but they may not always be the public’s most pressing concerns. In April 2024, a polling company found that “the quality of the environment” was one of thelowest-ranked priorities among people in the US. The stories about the environment could weave in connections to higher-priority topics. 19 . Tell science's storiesScientists, of course, can be science communicators, but everyone can tell science’s stories. When we share information online about health, or talk to friends and family about the weather, we contribute to information that circulates about science topics. 20 . Think about all of a story’s characteristics - character, action, sequence, scope, storyteller and content - and how you might incorporate them into the topic.A．Explain science as a processB．Shoot attractive short science videosC．Scientists themselves can actually become ideal onesD．This practice is to stress why the content is importantE．You can tell growth stories of remarkable teenage scientistsF．Science communicators can emphasize how science is conductedG．You may as well borrow features from stories to strengthen your message二、完形填空In 2018, Molly Baker unfortunately lost her husband in a severe skiing accident.

V ail gathered the names of 31 of Baker's friends who wanted to help, and 26 each friend a particular day. Vail also gave Baker the names on the 27 , so Baker could know what to 28 each day.“And what that looked like for them was that on that day, they would reach out to me in some 29 ways—maybe via text, or a card,” Baker said.Looking back, Baker feels that Vail's 30 was essential to helping her cope with her husband's death, because she was 31 at that time.“A lot of people are really uncomfortable around 32 ,” Baker said. “So what they do is, instead of doing something, that they 33 do nothing. It was nice to have that ‘Calendar Girls’ setup.”Today, Baker tries to do something similar for her friends going through 34 .

Unit 5 book 3 -3rd Unit 5 When work is a pleasureSection A Will you be a worker or a laborer?In modern society, the nature of work is rapidly changing. Most people work hard, but two people in very similar jobs may have very different experiences. One may enjoy his work while the other may find the work difficult and tiring. What do you think creates such a striking difference in job satisfaction? Find the answer from the texts. By the end of this unit you are expected to make a report on the following topic: Happiness at workLead -in: 1) short answer questions:1. What do you pay special attention to when looking for in a job?High salary and attractive benefitsBright future of career growthLess work pressureFlexible working timeAchievement of self-realization…2. What does work mean to you?Just means of livingMeasured in terms of social statusRealization of one’s dreamSelf-improvement…Lead -in: 2) Watching & DiscussingQ1: Do you think Andy a qualified manny?professional experience working with kidsgood at cooking and houseworka nutritionist and a fitness instructorsmart, active, humorous,caring, attentive, responsiblegreat enthusiasm to his jobQ2: What do you think people will choose: a low-paid job one likes, or a boring well-paid job?I think many people prefer to find a job that they really like. After all, most people want to enjoy themselves rather than have plenty of money without a sense of achievement and happiness.On the other hand, some people may choose a well-paid job instead of a job close to their hearts to earn more money. If one is in serious financial difficulty, one can hardly afford the luxury of a dream job.Pre-reading activities: A job-related surveyYou will find 10 typical job characteristics below, which may or may not be important to you when you choose your future job or career. Read the statements and write down the number that represents your opinion. Then work in pairs and compare your answers.1 = disagree completely2 = agree a little3 = agree to some extent4 = mostly agree5 = agree completelyWhen exploring a job, it is important for me to know …□ 1. the chance of advancing to a higher position□ 2. how much the job pays□ 3. how much responsibility the job involves□ 4. the s tress level of the job□ 5. the location of the office building□ 6. the work conditions□ 7. whether the job requires unusual work hours□ 8. the amount of travel required□ 9. whether the job fits my personality□ 10. whether people consider the j ob prestigiousDiscuss the following question with your partner.What are the three most important factors when you choose a job?Reference answers：There are many things to consider when people are choosing a career. But for me, the following three factors affect my choice most. First, the job must fit my personality. I believe that certain occupations are more suitable for particular personality types than others. If the job really fits my personality, I will be more likely to be successful and enjoy working.Second, how much the job pays. It is understandable that if I want to live an adequate life, I need to make enough money to support that kind of life. Finally, the location of the office building is also an important factor in choosing a career for m e. I don’t like a job located far away from my home, because it requires extra commute time and will surely reduce the time with my family.Try to translate this letter of resignation into English.1) What did she mean in this letter?She probably meant that she would take time to truly feel thebeauty of life and the world.2) Why do you think she quitted her job?The reasons of her resignation vary. It can be caused byexcessive workload, unfair treatment or her desire forfreedom.Background InformationContinuing EducationContinuing education (similar to further education in the UnitedKingdom and Ireland) is an all- encompassing term within abroad list of post-secondary learning activities and programs. The term is used mainly in the United States and parts of Canada. Recognized forms of post-secondary learning activities within the domain include: degree credit courses by non-traditional students, non-degree career training, workforce training, formal personal enrichment courses (both on-campus and online), self-directed learning (such as through Internet interest groups, clubs or personal research activities) andexperiential learning as applied to problem solving.Experiential LearningExperiential learning is theprocess of making meaning from direct experience. It is learning through reflection on doing, which is often contrasted with rote learning(死记硬背). Experiential learning focuses on the learning process for the individual. An example of experiential learning is going to the zoo and learning through observation and interaction with the zoo environment, as opposed to reading about animals from a book. Thus, one makes discoveries and experiments with knowledge firsthand, instead of hearing or reading about others’ experiences.DiscussionHow does technology change people’s work and life?Since the dawn of time, humans have developed tools and technology to assist in the pursuit of their goals. Large shifts in technology have resulted in large shifts in social structures, and in how individuals both contribute to society and make a living. Today, advances in technology are rapidly making it possible to automate much of the work currently carried out by humans. This applies not only to blue-collar jobs through robotics and the Internet of Things, but also towhite-collar work through artificial intelligence. The wide applicability of these technologies has led to broad concern about thedestruction of jobs. Indeed, according to a 2014 Oxford study, 47% of jobs in the US could be replaced by automated processes in the next two decades. Of course, while technology has always removed the need for some types of jobs, as many havenoticed, it also creates new ones. Nine of the top ten most in-demand jobs in the latest years did not exist in 2003, suggesting that the latest technological revolution is creating new employment opportunities.On the other hand, people are working harder and are more enslaved to their work than before. More people are seen walking around with laptops or smartphones. They’re becoming slaves to high technology. So it’s not high-tech, but kind of high-shackles or high-manacles. Unfortunately, there’s no escape.How can you foster love for your work?In general, it is hard to foster love for your work, especially if you get bored with your work or if you do not feel appreciated. So if you find it hard to love what you do, there are several ways for you to develop a more positive attitude towards work. With time and effort, you may start to find that you are looking forward to work rather than dreading it.Step 1: Change the way you work. When work becomes mundane, it can feel more difficult to face. In these situations, it might be helpful to change your approach. This is sometimes called job enrichment.Step 2: Focus on the positive aspects of your job. If you are not enjoying your job, you usually tend to focus your mind on all of the negative aspects of it. To reverse the trend, you need to identify what you like about your job and start focusing on those positive aspects instead.Step 3: Practice gratitude. If you have negative thoughts about going to work each day, try keeping a list of the things that you are grateful for. Practicing gratitude can help you to feel happier overall and may also help you see your job in a more positive light.Step 4: Look at the big picture. Sometimes work may become a chore if little things start to bother you more than they should. If you find yourself focusing on minor issues at work, such as a rudecustomer or making a mistake, remind yourself that these are not important in the grand scheme of things.Step 5: Improve other parts of your life. Sometimes a job can be more difficult to engage with when other parts of your life are out of balance. Consider other aspects of your life that might be making you unhappy.New words:degrade [dɪˈɡreɪd] v. to show or treat sb in a way that makes them seem not worth any respect 降低…身份;侮辱…的人格;使受屈辱;(使)退化，降解;分解;降低，削弱(尤指质量)A dishonest action like that will degrade you.像这样不诚实的行为会使你降低身份。
