About the author: Richard TomkinsConsumer industries editor of the Financial Times, where he has been a member of the editorial staff since 1983. He is currently based at the company‘s London headquarters, where he leads a team of journalists covering the consumer goods sector and writes about consumer trends. Tomkins was born in Walsall, England, in 1952. His formal education ended at the age of seventeen. Before becoming a journalist, he was a casual laborer, a factory worker, a truck driver, a restaurant cashier, a civil servant, and an assistant private secretary to a government minister. He left government service in 1978 to hitchhike around the world, and on returning to the U.K. in 1979, joined a local newspaper as a trainee reporter. He joined the Financial Times as a sub-editor four years later. In this selection, he discusses the time squeeze that many people are experiencing and offers a way of combating the problem.2.Stress in the workplaceIt seems that more and more the most common complaint from the American worker is that he or she is under a large amount of work related stress. This is no surprise as surveys show that companies expect each worker to do more with less and work longer doing it!With our fast paced world everyone wants something done instantly. We eat atfast food restaurants, we often stop at corner convenience stores, we carry beepers and cellular phones to stay in touch, we ship overnight, we all have deadlines and everyone is always in a rush…It is no wonder that health problems among the American workers are on the increase. Stress has been shown to be one of the leading causes of health problems and under high stress conditions for an extended period of time stress can result in serious health problems and even premature death in an individual!While a certain amount of stress is good for a person and builds character, extended stress not only causes health problems but reduced work performance in an individual. Everyone‘s job has periods of high stress as would be expected. However, extended periods of stress cause burnout in an individual. As the stress continues that individual performs his job less efficiently and mistakes begin to be made. Stress associated with extended hours of working complicates the problem even further when those extended hours cuts into a person‘s rest and relaxation time. Stress can even cause an employee to quit their job despite the money that they are making!The problem of stress is not likely to go away. As the pace of change continues to increase, the demands upon us will also increase. We will have to make more decisions and faster; have to learn new skills, adapt to new situations, and cope with new threats. As a result we will find ourselves becoming more tired, making more mistakes, becoming more hostile, more anxious, more depressed, suffering more ill-health and having more accidents.If we are to survive in an ever-accelerating world, it is imperative that we learn to cope with the increasing pressures of change. If we do not, it is more than probable that we will find ourselves sucked into a downward spiral, desperately trying to manage in an increasingly unmanageable world. Breakdowns and burnouts will become the norm. And society will head yet faster towards its own collapse.Classroom Activities1. Group discussion1)What do you think keep people in some countries so busy?2)What might be the acute / major problems facing people today?3)Compared with people’s life in ancient times, what have new technology,the information explosion and rising economy really brought to us?2. A questionnaire3. Find some more supporting facts of the unfavorable effects technology has hadon our lives.Text AnalysisIn many ways, the style of this piece is typical of a certain variety of journalism. It is, clearly not a news story, but nonetheless belongs within the pages of a newspaper. Such writing finds its home in the editorial or comment' section wherejournalists and others .contribute regular or occasional columns reflecting on topical issues. Unlike news stories where reporters are expected to confine themselves to the facts, such columns are intended to give free range to the expression of personal opinion. At the same time, particularly in the more serious papers (and the paper from which this comes, the Financial Times, certainly belongs to this category) the writer is expected to display hi s familiarity with the complexity of the problem under discussion. This is frequently achieved by employing concession. Thus, here the writer, having outlined the problem of the pressure of time, goes on to concede that not everybody is affected to the same extent. He then details the differences that exist before returning to his more general point and concluding with his solution, another characteristic ingredient of such editorial articles. His general conclusion is hardly new, having been advice offered by philosophers for as far back as one cares to go, but gains novelty set against the context of recent technological developments.Although not a news story, the article nevertheless shares with newspaper reporting in general a taste for seeking support from the use of direct quotations from a number of different people. These quotations are provided together with the name of the person and background information on them. These details add human interest and support the argument by reference to the utterances of someone who would appear to be in a position to know. As the quotations record spoken rather than written English, the tone of language is often colloquial. The frequent peppering of an article with this type of direct quotation stands in contrast to what is usual in a more purely academic essay.Language StudyI.

To write effective sentences, you need to delete all the unneeded words in them. Here are some of the principles for improving the conciseness of your writing.1. Eliminate redundant words.e.g. Sue, who is quick-tempered, usually cannot wait for others to finish and blows up before hearing the whole story.Sue is quick-tempered and usually blows up before hearing the whole story.2. Eliminate ―empty‖words (Replace them with simpler words with the same meaning)E.g. at this point of time=nowAt that point of time =thenIn a relatively short amount of time = quickly3. Eliminate weak modifiersIf you use any of the following words, check to be sure they add essential information to the sentence. If not, replace them with a more precise word, or get rid of them altogether, really; very; definitely; quite; awfully; fine; nice; just4. Simplify sentence structures; use adjectivese.g. Pearl, who was a teacher, wanted to take a vacation in Hawaii.Pearl, a teacher, wanted a Hawaiian vacation.5.Minimize the number of prepositional phrases per sentence.W riting task:I. Read and Correct(1) Should One Expect a Reward When Doing a Good Deed?有人做好事期望得到回报有人认为应该像雷锋那样做好事不图回报我的观点Many people expect a reward when doing a good deed. They think that the society today is based on money, which is the central role in the process of social development, and people do everything for money. So, it seems to them that theydo a good deed, which often help for other people, or society, they should get paid, get reward.On the contrary, some people think that it is their duty to do a good deed, which can fulfill their value, and whether they could be rewarded is not important. For example, Mr. Leifeng lived a simple life and contributed his life to serving people without gaining any reward, and he will live for ever in the memory of the Chinese people.In my opinion, we should not expect a reward when doing a good deed. We do this for enjoyment, fulfillment and other spiritual enhancement, not for the purpose of reward.(2) Failure失败在所难免失败是坏事，也是好事对待失败的正确态度Everyone meets with failure in his life. It is impossible for one to make everything success. Many great achievements are made after great failures. Take Edison for example, he failed thousands of times before the bulb was finally invented. Hence, we may safely conclude that failure to some extent is unavoidable.Clearly, failure has negative effects. When failure occurs, the on-going work may be hampered, which may even result in great casualties or economic loss. Moreover, people may be mother of success. People may learn lessons from failure, making some necessary adaptations to their original ideas, which leads to success. This has been verified by many stories in the history.Facing failure, one should never be let down. Instead, the proper attitude may be that he should make an investigation to find out what has lead to the failure, after deliberate research, one should learn lessons from it and make some amendments if necessary. Then, pull up his socks and begin a new round of trial. One thing he should always bear in mind: where is a will, there is a way.2.

Some have passed CET-6 and want to improve their oral English; Some are still working at Band 6 and eager to pass it; Some think they have already achieved their goals in College English study and do not want to go ahead. Such differentiation makes the class uncontrollable and brings much challenge to me. I should make every effort to present diverse contents and try more flexible approaches. This class is my first attempt. It might not be so successful but I could see the hope.Book 5 Unit 1 Love of ReadingObjectives:Students will be able to:1.

TranslationStudy after study has uncovered the fact that there is a close correlation between food and a number of chronic diseases. For example, a decreased risk of certain chronic diseases is associated with an increased consumption of plant-based foods.

TranslationThe new president of our university disapproves of the idea that we should be allowed to tell lies under certain circumstances. He believes that if people get used to telling any kind of lie, they will indulge themselves and eventually be stuck with the bad habit.

The course was taught by Professor Richardson, a fine specimen of an old-fashioned gentleman, very cordial to his students. However, when it came to academic matters, he was by no means an easy person. Before he started his lecture, he discoursed enthusiastically on the importance of working in an orderly fashion, of being thoroughly prepared before each class, and of not being content with what you have learned.

Natural extinction is being accelerated by human populations wiping out entire ecosystems for development and single crop farming.

TranslationMost scientists no longer doubt that the world is warming up and that humanity has altered climate. They agree that the long-term effects of global warming will be disastrous for the planet and its inhabitants. What is more, climate change won’t be a smooth transition to a warmer world. Some regions will be greatly affected by abrupt climate changes. Enormous areas of densely populated land like coastal Florida would become uninhabitable. Hundreds of millions of residents would have to migrate to safer regions. Therefore, it is no surprise that global warming has made its way onto the agenda of world leaders.UNIT6VocabularyI. 1. 1) the hard way 2) solemn3) wrote out 4) champion5) ownership 6) privilege7) To be sure 8) handicap9) surge 10) cut the ground fromunder …feet2.1) The committee aims to achieve reconciliation between the twoopposing parties.2) The management's refusal to increase the minimum monthly grant.3) Public places such as metro stations, theaters, and museums havebeen made more accessible to the disabled.4) His love for the countryside brought forth a series of remarkablewatercolors.5) It embodies the ideals of freedom and equality.3. 1) The books are keyed to the interests of children.2) We will not stand by and let the small village schools getclosed for lack of funds.3) Their response was in effect a refusal to our request thoughthey didn't turn it down explicitly.4) Generous to a fault, he paid for all the expenses5) We shall always feel we are deeply in your debt.4. 1) Under the leadership of Sam Walton, Wal-Mart prospered at an amazing speed.

Every employee has a strong sense of obligation to the company and boundless enthusiasm for the work."2) Most chapters of this book are dedicated to the effects of games on children. According to the author, in performing and observing actions, like the collision of two objects, babies can have first-hand experience of the relations implicit in the phenomena. And team sports can help to shape children's personality in a positive way, because they can learn how to cooperate with each other in the competition.3) Martin Luther King and Rosa Parker had a lot in common.

One Writer's Beginnings Eudora Welty1 I learned from the age of two or three that any room in our house, at any time of day, was there to read in, or to be read to. My mother read to me. She'd read to me in the big bedroom in the mornings, when we were in her rocker together, which ticked in rhythm as we rocked, as though we had a cricket accompanying the story. She'd read to me in the dining room on winter afternoons in front of the coal fire, with our cuckoo clock ending the story with "Cuckoo", and at night when I'd got in my own bed. I must have given her no peace. Sometimes she read to me in the kitchen while she sat churning, and the churning sobbed along with any story. It was my ambition to have her read to me while I churned; once she granted my wish, but she read off my story before I brought her butter. She was an expressive reader. When she was reading "Puss in Boots," for instance, it was impossible not to know that she distrusted all cats.作家起步时尤多拉•威尔提我从两三岁起就知道，家中随便在哪个房间里，白天无论在什么时间，都可以念书或听人念书。
