Sta ge FrightFall down as you come onstage. That’s an oddtrick. Not recommended. But it saved the pianist Vladimir Feltsman when he wasa teenager back in Moscow. The veteran cellist Mstislav Rostropovich trippedhim purposely to cure him of pre-performance panic,2 Mr. Feltsmansaid, “ All my fright was gone. I already fell. What else could happen?”Today, music schools are addressing the problem ofanxiety in classes that deal with performance techniques and careerpreparation. There are a variety of strategies that musicians can learn tofight stage fright and its symptoms: icy fingers, shaky limbs, racing heart,blank mind.3Teachers and psychologists offer wide-rangingadvice, from basics like learning pieces inside out,4 to mentaldiscipline, such as visualizi ng a performance and taking steps to relax. Don’tdeny that you’re jittery，they urge; some excitement is natural, even necessary for dynamicplaying. And play in public often, simply for the experience.Psychotherapist Diane Nichols suggests somestrategies f or the moments before performance, “Take two deep abdominalbreaths, open up your shoulders, then smile,’’ she says. “And not one of these‘please don’t kill me’ smiles. Then choose three friendly faces in theaudience, people you would communicate with andm ake music to, and make eyecontact with them.” She doesn’t want performers to think of the audience as ajudge.Extreme demands by mentors or parents are often atthe root of stage fright，says Dorothy Delay, awell-known violin teacher. She tells otherteachers to demand only what their students are able to achieve. When Lynn Harrell was 20，he became the principal cellist ofthe Cleverland Orchestra, and he suffered extreme stage fright. “There weretimes when I got so nervous I was sure the audience could see my chestresponding to the throbbing. It was just total panic. I came to a point where Ithought,‘ If I have to go through this to play music, I think I’m going to lookfor another job.”5 Recovery, he said, involved developinghumility-recognizing that whatever his talent, he was fallible，and that an imperfect concert wasnot a disaster.6It is not only young artists who suffer, ofcourse. The legendary pianist Vladimir Horowitz’s nerves were famous. The greattenor Franco Corelli is another example. “They had to push him on stage,”Soprano Renata Scotto recalled.Actually，success can make things worse. “In the beginning of your career,when you’re scared to death, nobody knows who you are, and they don’t have anyexpectations,” Soprano June Anderson said. “There’s less to lose. Later on, whenyou’re known, people are coming to see you, and they have certain expectations.You have a lot to lose.”Anderson added，“I never stop being nervous until I’ve sung my last note.”如何避免怯场上台就跌倒。

In the past, many people believed that intelligence was something we were born with and could not change. However, recent research has shown that our intelligence is not fixed and can be developed. This is known as the growth mindset. People with a growth mindset believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work.The growth mindset is not just about academic achievement. It can be applied to any area of life where you want to improve. For example, if you want to become a better athlete, musician, or artist, you can develop your skills with consistent practice and effort. The key is to embrace challenges and learn from criticism.People with a fixed mindset, on the other hand, believe that their abilities are set in stone. They often avoid challenges because they are afraid of failure. They may also give up easily when they encounterobstacles, as they believe that their lack of ability is the reason for their struggles.Which of the following is true about the growth mindset according to the passage?A. It is limited to academic achievements.B. It can be applied to any area of life.C. It is about avoiding challenges.D. It is about giving up easily.答案：B解析：根据短文中的描述，"The growth mindset is not just about academic achievement. It can be applied to any area of life where you want to improve." 这句话明确指出，成长心态不仅仅局限于学术成就，它可以被应用到任何你想要提高的生活领域。

More than 8 hours sleep too much of a good thingAlthough the dangers of too little sleep are widely known，new research suggests that people who sleep too much may also suffer the consequences.Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep，as well as a number of other sleep problems，than people who sleep 8 hours a night.People who slept only 7 hours each night also said they ha d more trouble falling asleep and feeling refreshed after a night’s sleep than 8-hour sleepers.These findings, which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, demonstrate that people who want to get a good night’s rest may not nee d to set aside more than 8 hours a night.He added that“it might be a good idea'’for people who sleep more than 8 hours each night to consider reducing the amount of time they spend in bed, but cautioned that more research is needed to confirm this.Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep一for instance, one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more.For the current report，Kripke reviewed the responses of 1，004 adults to sleep questionnaires，in which participants indicated how much they slept during the Week and whether they experienced any sleep problems.Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night，arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep，and having fatigue interfere with day-to-day functioning.KriDke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours.In an interview, Kripke noted that long sleepers may struggle to get rest at night simply because they spend too much time in bed.As evidence，he added that one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed.“It st ands to reason that if a person spends too long a time in bed, then they’ll spend a higher percentage of time awake.”he said.1虽然过量睡眠缺失的危害已被人们所广泛接受，但最新的研究表明：过度睡眠也会对人们的身体健康产生不良后果。

一. An Introduction to Distillation蒸馏概述1. Petroleum refining is the separation of petroleum into fractions and the subsequent treating of these fractions to make them into petroleum products. Most petroleum products, including kerosenes, fuel oils, lubricating oils, and waxes, are fractions of petroleum that have been treated to remove undesirable components. Other products, for example, gasolines, aromatic solvents, and even some asphalts, are totally or partly synthetic in that they have compositions that are impossible to achieve by direct separation of these materials from crude petroleum. They result from chemical processes that change the molecular nature of selected portions of crude petroleum; in other words, they are the products of refining or they are refined products. 1．石油炼制即将石油分离成各种馏分，然后将这些馏分经过处理，制成各种石油产品。
2022年中石油职称英语考试真题答案(翻译部分)翻译部分A级别参考答案：一家大型酒店的总裁注意到，公司正在经历着每年流失50%的雇员的问题，这种情况造成每年成本增加1000万到1200万。
这么大量的资金是按照以下两个因素算出来的：雇佣新员工的花费以及由于顾客满意度差而导致客房使用率下降。
在酒店行业，员工流失是一个很关键的问题。
但是你可以采取一些人才办理实务策略，来提升员工的留任率。
下面有三条建议：(1)雇佣合适的员工：从改善招聘和面试流程开始。
当你参加面试时，确信你为候选者提供了一个可依靠的企业，让候选者有选择在酒店工作的理由。
如果工作是充满压力和紧张感的，那么要分享这些细节问题，让候选人了解。
要明确的说明酒店的企业文化，工作环境会帮忙候选人自我选择，你要让候选人知道更愿意雇佣适合酒店和酒店文化的员工。
(2)绩效办理，认可和奖励员工：我们几乎都会感到有价值，酒店和办理者需要形式化或者非形式化的方法去认可和奖励高绩效。
不是所有的奖励都需要金钱的形式。
即使是一个很简单的谢谢，或者员工的努力得到的公共的认可都是有效激励员工的方式。
员工感到自身有价值或更愿意留下来继续工作。
(3)为员工的发展提供机会：通过支付或者补助的形式，在培训课程、书籍、工作经验、播客(音频材料)等方面的花费上，支持员工发展;让员工知道，你重视他们也重视他们的工作，帮忙他们成功和规划未来职业发展。
所有这些方法都可以提高员工留任，减少员工流失。
这些有效的办理方法不单可以促进员工留任，并且提高员工满意度和履行员工职责。
所有的这些办理方法对酒店生意来说是有利的。

第四部分阅读理解第一篇福特放弃电动汽车分析人士评论，福特汽车公司放弃电动汽年的举动有力地证明了这种技术是行不通的。
通用汽车公司和日本本田汽车公司早于1999年就停止了电池动力汽车的生产，转而开发燃料电池和电池内燃混合机，这对消费者更有吸引力。
福特宣布它现在也要做同样的尝试。
3年前，福特推出名为Think City的双排座汽车和Think或Think Neighbor系列高尔夫车，希望能销售5000辆汽车、10000高尔夫车。
但由于需求不足，截至2002年仅生产了大约1000辆汽车，售出的高尔夫车还不足1700辆。
“关键是我们认为电动车不能代表大众市场环保交通的未来”，福特欧洲区的Tim Holmes于周五说，“我们感觉自己对电力车已做了昀好的尝试。
”Think City系列的运行里程仅53英里，电池充电需6小时。
通用公司的EVI电力车也仅能运行100英里。
昂贵的电池也意味着电动汽车的造价比汽油动力车高出许多。
日本丰田产的RAV4EV系列电动车在美国的售价达42000美元，而同系列的汽油动力车仅售17000美元。
丰田和日产汽车公司是现在仅存的两大电动车制造商。
“应该说电池动力车已经获得了充分的机会。
福特现已转向电池内燃混合机开发项目，我们应据此评价他们的发展。
”Roger Higman，英国Friends of the Earth组织的一位高级交通运动代表这样对《环保新闻》评论说。
日本本田和丰田公司推出的混合机汽车在过去几年取得了良好的销售业绩。
混合动力车比汽油机车运行里程更长，电池又可自行充电。
福特表示，他们认为这样的机车有助于达到美国新制订的车辆排放规定。
不过，这些规定究竟允许怎样的排放物现在还不十分清楚。
六月份通用和戴姆勒克莱斯勒公司赢得一项法庭裁决，可推迟两年执行一项加州法令，该法令要求汽车生产商在2003年前向该州提供10万辆零排放和其他低排放汽车。
制造商希望修改此法令，允许他们生产更多低排放而不是零排放的汽车。

第十九篇Musical Robot Companion Enhances Listener ExperienceShimi, a musical companion developed by Georgia Tech’s Center for Music Technology, recommends songs, dances to the beat and keeps the music pumping based on listener feedback. The smartphone-enabled, one-foot-tall robot is billed as an interactive “musical friend”.“Shimi is designed to change the way that people enjoy and think about their music，” said Professor Gil Weinberg, the robot’s creator. He will unveil the robot at the June 27th Goo gle I/O conference in San Francisco. A band of three Shimi robots will perform for guests, dancing in sync with music created in the lab and composed according to its movements.Shimi is essentially a docking station with a “brain” powered by an Android ph one. Once docked, the robot gains the sensing and musical generation capabilities of the user’s mobile device. In other words, if there’s an “app” for that, Shimi is ready. For instance, by using the phone’s camera and face-detecting software，Shimi can fol low a listener around the room and position its “ears”，or speakers, for optimal sound. Another recognition feature is based on rhythm and tempo. If the user taps a beat, Shimi analyzes it, scans the phone’s musical library and immediately plays the song th at best matches the suggestion. Once the music starts，Shimi dances to the rhythm.“Many people think that robots are limited by their programming instructions, said Music Technology Ph. D. candidate Mason Bretan. “Shimi shows us that robots can be creative and interactive. ’’Future apps in the works will allow the user to shake their head in disagreement or wave a hand in the air to alert Shimi to skip to the next song or increase/decrease the volume. The robot will also have the capability to recommend new music based on the user’s song choices and provide feedback on the music play list.Weinberg hopes other developers will be inspired to create more apps to expand Shimi’s creative and interactive capabilities. “I believe that our center is ahead of a revo lution that will see more robots in homes.” Weinberg said.Weinberg is in the process of commercializing Shimi through an exclusive licensing agreement with Georgia Tech. Weinberg hopes to make the robot available to consumers by the 2013 holiday season. “If robots are going to arrive in homes, we think that they will be this kind of machines一small, entertaining and fun，，，Weinberg said. “They will enhance your life and pave the way for more intelligent service robots in our lives.”词汇：pump v.用抽水机抽;不断播放（音乐）scan v.扫描;浏览skip v.轻跳，跳跃sync n.同步，同时;v.使同步tempo n.速度;节奏注释：1. Georgia Tech:全称是Georgia Institute of Technology,佐治亚理工学院，建于1885 年，位于亚特兰大市中心。

（三）Where is the best graffiti found ? Who creates it , and why? Reisner reports that the best graffiti is often seen in large urban areas , particularly at universities and in the restrooms of coffeehouses and smart bars . Graffiti seems to be written predominantly by men; lately, however, women have become increasingly productive . The liveliest writing is often by students, hippies, and young business people . Graffiti is produced for a variety of reasons : to express an opinion , to voice an insult ,to share a joke , to assert one’s own individuality , to protest social and political conditions .哪儿能找到最好的涂鸦？谁画的？为什么画？Reisner报道称，最好的涂鸦经常会出现在大城市地区，尤其是在大学里，或者在咖啡厅和小酒吧的洗手间里。
似乎涂鸦最初主要是由男性创作的，但近来女性涂鸦人员的作品也越来越多。
最为生动的涂鸦常常出自学生，嬉皮士，或者年轻的生意人之手。
涂鸦作品的出现有很多原因：可以是表达观念，可以是爆粗口，可以是分享笑话，也可以是宣扬个性，亦或是抗议社会和政治现状。
（四）It is clear from this and much other evidence that many children are still leaving school too early to benefit from the prizes------money, social respectability, and interesting jobs , which higher education gives. It is clear too that the reasons why such children leave have much to do with their social circumstances. Their parents often need the extra money another wage-owner can bring in; they do not value education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappy . It is not so much that they force their sons and daughters to leave school, rather that they tend to say, “It’s up to you”.由此和其他相当多的证据可见，许多孩子仍然正在过早地离开校园，从而无法享受到高等教育所带来的利益，如金钱、社会地位和有趣的工作等。
