阅读理解Part D You are going to read a passage about productive postponement. Decide whether the statements in the box agree with the information given in the passage. You should choose from the following. A YES = the statement agree with the information in the passage B NO = the statement contradicts the information in the passage C NOT GIVEN = there is no information on this in the passage Productive postponement It’s a frustrating irony of the universe that the way to get something you really want is often not to want is so badly. Worry too hard about a task and the anxiety will prevent you performing your best; stop looking for love, goes the cliché, and that’s when you’ll find it. Try too hard to be happy and you’ll find yourself on a misery-inducing treadmill （单调的工作）of self-improvement efforts, contradictory advice and motivational seminars conducted by exceptionally dubious men in hotel ballrooms. The solution is to “let go” of worry, of seeking happiness. But implementing that advice is close to impossible: it’s a tall order just to stop feeling anxious or to stop wanting something you want. Mercifully, some authors offer a far more palatable alternative: instead of getting embroiled in trying to let go of thoughts and emotions that get in your way, postpone them instead. Understandably, putting things off has often been considered as undesirable: see the bestseller Excuse Me. Your Life Is Waiting and similar warnings not to “postpone your dreams”. But there’s a flipside – a technique you might call productive postponement. The psychiatrist Robert Leahy, for example, recommends “worry postponement”: writing down your worries as they arise, and scheduling time to fret. It sounds strange, but there’s research evidence for it, and logic: we worriers derive huge payoffs from worrying – we believe, on some level, that it makes things go better –and so the idea of giving it up can be terrifying. Just putting it off, safe in the knowledge that you can return to it later, is easier. (If you’re worried, consider an email reminder service, and if worrying you’ll forget to worry strikes you as absurd, well. Consider yourself lucky and welcome to my world.) Psychotherapists call techniques such as postponement “metacognitive”, meaning that they make you aware of your habitual thought processes, and therefore work more lastingly than, say, trying to relieve a particular worry by addressing its specific content. Postponement works with perfectionism, too. If you can’t get rid of the notion that some task must be done perfectly, can you suspend that requirement just for now, resolving to revert to your perfectionism at some predetermined point in the near future? The essayist Anne Lamott, in her book Bird By Bird, calls this the principle of “shitty first drafts”, but, like so much of her counsel, it applies beyond writing.

阅读理解New technology links the world as never before. Our planet has shrunk. It''s new a "global village" where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link. And, of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communications equipment is greatly enhanced by foreign language skills. Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modem businesspeople who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modem markets, success overseas often helps support domestic business efforts. Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being "out of sight and out of mind." He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the company''s plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad, if an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superiors will have greater confidence in his or her ability to come back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and prevalent (普遍的). Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets. English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn''t generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal. The employee posted abroad who speaks the country''s principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm.
