Unit11.the trouble of fameWe find that famous people always rocket into the spotlight for fame.They also pay for it when they take possession of much.Because they have trouble of fame.As a famous person,they're required to keep themselves as great as their worshipping fans suggest.They make desperate attempts to gain what they want.But they can't do anything free when they really want to.There are several reasens for the trouble of fame.First,they must know basical common sense.Second,they can't touch those sensitive(敏感的)things.Especially personal sentiment.Third,they should have a good temper even others point out their shortcomings.What's more,they need to deal with their family relationshipThe ideas people have about meEveryone to the people around him,will have different views about him. Even if I just pass a stranger, at a store or our library, I'll have a idea about him. Maybe, he looks so smart or looks so handsome. Just like this, everyone around me also have some ideas about me.But, these are not in the know, it’s just a simple first impression. Everyone to some of your idea, need to contact with you, Only in these way, can they have more accurate understanding about you. Actually, I have no idea what people think of me right now. I have no idea what my mom think of me, I have no idea what my teacher think of me, also, I have no idea what my roommate think of me.Once upon a time, my friends say that I'm a elusive person, sometimes I will be good ,I will do something you want for you, that time , you will think I’m your best friend in the world. But sometimes I would not pay attention to you, no matter what you are talking about or what you are suffering.Well, Indeed, I don't like this view, because a lot of things I can only to bear by myself, a lot of people can’t understand something what I have done. They need the reason I give. Because of this, they can judge me only according to their own ideas and what they have seen or what they have heard.When I'm in love, I don’t like to quarrel with my girlfriend, but we always do, at that time she will say to others ,speak ill of me. With a kind of subjective emotion . So, many people will think I'm a bad boy. Or I’m a bad man. But actually, I don't like to with her friend who has been told, because there is no need to explain what. They don’t know what really happen between us.To sum up, I gonna say, Maybe Yesterday you thought you have had a wrong impression on me, today you would wrong again, I will see youtomorrow would be wrong the third time. I mean, don’t judge your friend just by what you seen or what you heard. I don't care what people how to see me in my age, because I do a belief ,one day, they will understand me, no matter what I have done. If you are my friends, you will know that. That’s all, thank you for your listening!Unit2Why being original is importantA:Today I have seen how my friend frame someone to get the higer position, so that I must sign with emotion that my friend has changed a lot.B:Y es, so I have a question that why when people enter into society will change their nature? Will become someone they don’t like before?C:Everyone has their desire in their hearts, if there were some lure in front of them what can help them to make their dreams come true, most of them will be shaked.D:Y eah, I agree with you.So nowadays we face with the question that how being original or keep the pure soul.Now we must know that why being original is important.A:Though many people say that one drop of fame will likely contaminate the entire well of a man's soul, and many people want to get a fame, a authority, a high statue, so it’s impossible that keep one’s soul pure or being original.But we must know that if everyone can being original, the world will be fine, the life will be tuneful.So being original is important.B:Y es,desire is horrible,it takes you out of yourself.As a child, you can play with your friends at will, do everything what you want to do without considering aftermath. But after you or others changed, when you get along with them, you maybe think that if they have some aims or whether they utilize you. Y ou couldn’t be at will, even you will guard against them.C: I also think that, maybe when he or she get the fame, make their dreams come true,but when they look around, they will find that they are alone, no one stand by them, because on the way they come true their dreams, they have threw down theirs friendship and so on just like leaving rubbish. So when someone do something for the sake of themselves, they will find they lose more beyond they can image.D: Y es, the person who achieves success often discovers that it does more harm than good. So instead of trying so hard to achieve success, try to be happy with who you are and what you do. Try to do work that you can be proud of. Maybe you won't be come true your dreams in your own lifetime, but you may gain more than successed. So being original is important.Unit3The most difficult situation I have ever experiencedA:Now we having a discuss about the most difficult situation I have ever experienced. In one’s life, there are one or more unforgettable events.

A victimless crime is one where an act that violates an established law is committed, without leaving a victim behind; that is, there is no resulting damage to a person or property. In these cases, there is usually no victim because the illegal activity was consensually entered into. For this reason, victimless crimes are often called consensual crimes5.

ScriptGeorge Adams, a market researcher at a Midwestern firm, finally printed his marketing report. After months of research, hundreds of surveys, andseveral boring drafts, his report was complete, and just in time. He was going away for the weekend, and he wanted to relax knowing his report was a success. He carefully proofread his document and then delivered copies to all the executives on his distribution list.When he returned to his desk, he discovered his boss, the department manager, was livid. At first he did not realize he had accidentally gone over his head. Anyway, she had given him the contribution list in the first place. So he thought he was just following orders. But the boss was furious that she hadn’t seen the final document.The boss asked Adams to get back the copies, but it was too late. When Adams got to the CEO’s office, he was already reading the report. Adams had felt friction with his boss before. She was overbearing and tended to find fault with his work after he’d broken his back to meet deadlines. In this instance, however, he realized he had made a serious error. His boss was extremely upset, for his mistake made her look as though she wasn’t in control of her department.From the boss’s point of view, Adams was usurping her authority. The result was simple and natural: Adams left his job soon afterward. Adams’s story illustrates a fundamental truth about the workplace: small, seemingly innocent missteps can sometimes become a big career trap.13. To whom did Adams deliver copies of the report?14. What did Adams discover after he delivered the copies?15. What happened when the boss asked Adams to get back the copies ofthe report?16. According to the passage, why was his boss extremely upset?5.

What’s wrong? Tell me.Sam: You’re right. I’m upset about a lot of things.Sally: Can you tell me what the problems are?Sam: First of all I’m upset because so many of the staff have been showing up late for work.Sally: It’s true. A lot of people have been coming in late. They probably think you don’t mind. You know there’s a pretty relaxed atmosphere here.Sam: Maybe it’s because I hang out with a lot of them outside the office. Sally: They must see you more as a buddy than a boss. It’s because you’re so friendly.Sam: You’re right. They don’t view me as an authority figure anymore. I’m afraid they don’t respect me as a bossSally: So what are you going to do about it?Sam: I’m going to change. No more Mr. Nice Guy. I’m going to start cracking the whip.Sally: When do you want this change to take place?Sam: Starting today, I’m going to lay down the law.

If we graduate of Harvard Business School don’t stick up for one anther, who will? Nobody, that’s who.”Jackson explained that a tradition the company’s CEOs had. The departing CEO left three numbered envelopes for the new CEO. He handed Martin three envelopes. “Open one if there’s a problem you can’t solve.”Things went smoothly for Martin at first, but six months later sales took a downturn, and he was catching a lot of heat. At his wit’s end, he remembered the envelopes. He took from his desk the first envelope. The message read, “Blame your predecessor.”Martin held a press conference and tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous CEO. The press—and Wall Street—reacted positively, sales picked up, and the problem was soon behind him.A year later, the company was again experiencing a dip in sales, combined with serious product problems. The CEO opened the second envelope. The message read, “Recognize.”This he did, and the company quickly rebounded.After several consecutive profitable quarters, the company once again fell on difficult times. The CEO went to his office, closed the door and opened the third envelope. The meager read, “Prepare three envelopes.”For Reference1.

英语口语总结(新视野大学英语4第二版)Unit1Some artists seeks for fame , but t hey don’t realized that chasing fame often leads to self destruction. However, it’s difficult for us to resist the temptation that fame brings us. Some gain fame quickly by developing a unique style with the help of agents. However, with the pressure to keep audience’s lasting enthusiasm, they lost their freedom to express themselves freely. And the example of Oscar Wilde exactly proved the view. There is a point that the greatest winners are those who initially failed in the conquest of fame, because they won freedom instead. With the example of Thomas Wolfe and Pestalozzi , we know that failure is the beginning of success. In a word, try to be happy in your lifetime instead of trying hard to achieve success.Unit2Chaplin is a great comedian not only for his motherland but also for the world. The character of “the tramp”made him famous, though the Tramp was considered a little crude at first. and his clothes gave him an appearance more like an Italian waiter than anything else. He resisted making a talking movie until 1936 when he made up a nonsense language which sounded like no known nationality. Chaplin achieved great success because he has the talent to explore and use his physical senses to invent his art. However, the collision between the need to be loved and the fear of being betrayed resulted in disaster in his emotional life which was shown in his movies. Eventually, life gave Chaplin the stable happiness, that is, his marriage with Oona O’Neil.Unit5While loneliness is very common in the U.S., few people want to admit it because it is considered as a sort of social disease. It is seen as admirable for American heroes to go alone into the wild areas and for poets and philosophers to seek out solitude. Some poets and philosophers, like William, Milton and Thoreau, enjoy inspiration from solitude. When an individual is solitary out of choice, the experience is less enjoyable. It is our basic need to talk to someone not only about the big things but also about the little daily things. As a consequence, lonely people will talk about the little things to themselves, the dog and, most embarrassingly , to total stranger s. Therefore, it’s important for ordinary people to stay rational, make themselves comfortable and find some grace and pleasure in their home.Unit6Bribery in various forms is on the increase in many countries. Bribery indeed have become a fact of commercial life. We divide these payments into three broad categories. The first category consists of substantial payments made for political purposes or to secure major contracts. The second category covers payments made to obtain quicker official approval of some projects. The third category involves payments made into countries where it is traditional to pay people to help with the passage of a business deal. There are some ways to prohibit bribery. ICC favors a code of conduct that would ban the giving and seeking of bribes. Unfortunately, opinions differ among the members of ICC concerning how to enforce the code. Anyway, today’s businessman will frequently meet situations where it is difficult to square his business interests with his moral conscience.Unit10If a business does not adapt to changes in the businessenvironment, then it will fail. Recently it has been argued that smart but inflexible employees don’t necessarily have the abilities to adapt to this ever-changing environment. It would appear that flexibility and emotional intelligence rather than IQ is a more accurate measure of intelligence. It is also a more accurate predictor ofsuccess . This is an important point for businesses to understand because customers don’t really care about how highly intelligent a businessman is, they will take their business to wherever they are understood and respected . A business that staffed with people with a high Emotional Intelligence who have the ability to understand and relate well to others will succeed. All in all, EQ is the ticket for business success.。
