填空题benediction, beneficiary, benevolent, blessing A man is ____ if his fame does not outshine his truth.

填空题A. Suggest a pre-interview. B. How do you know your contact? C. Leave enough time to your referrer. D. Understand your contact"s position in the company. E. Put your request in writing. F. Is your contact willing to provide a referral? G. Say "thank you". Whether you"re unemployed or supported by a regular paycheck, job hunting and blindly sending out résumé s can be a tiring and frustrating experience. So when the career gods smile in your direction and provide your dream position at a company where you know an employee, it can feel as though your professional traffic jam just opened onto the six-lane new-job freeway. But before you fire off that "Will you refer me?" email, consider some of these important factors that can make or break your chances at an interview. 1 If your intended referrer is your best college pal or Aunt Winnie, proceed with caution. While it"s great to have friends or family who can vouch for you on a personal level, many hiring managers are more interested in your professional abilities. And getting a referral from someone who can"t even repeat what you do for a living may come across as a weak attempt at getting your foot in the door, not a strong recommendation. The best contact is one who knows your career progression and accomplishments. 2 Your dream job resides in sales and marketing, but your contact at the company works in tech support. At small companies, this link may be sufficient enough to secure you an interview, but you can"t always count on it. The best referral will come from someone who is knowledgeable about the open position and the kind of requirements and experience it entails. 3 If you decide that your contact is a strong one, then make your request in writing. Your potential referrer can then take the time to thoughtfully consider whether or not she is comfortable making an introduction before responding to you with her answer. And you give her a chance to quickly research any pertinent information regarding the hiring manager and job qualifications. 4 When making your referral request, ask your contact whether she is comfortable providing a referral. While you might be eager to cut to the chase by asking directly for an endorsement, a wishy-washy or noncommittal referral can be worse than no referral at all, so don"t take it personally if she refuses. But hopefully you"ve carefully considered your relationship with this person so that the answer is a confident "Yes!" 5 Even if your contact agrees to put you in touch with the hiring manager, offer to take her to lunch so you can provide her with the information she needs to deliver a strong referral. Describe your major professional accomplishments, and relate them to why you think you would be an ideal candidate for the listed position. By offering up the information she needs, you not only increase your chances of obtaining an interview, but you also make her look good to her coworkers by contributing an informed recommendation. Before you even know if you"ve obtained the interview, send your referrer a thank-you note. You"ll let her know that regardless of the outcome, you appreciate her time and effort. And even if this position doesn"t pan out for you, your graciousness will keep you top-of-mind if similar positions arise in the future!

填空题A common problem in human relations is the lack of assertiveness in other words, the inability to express yourself and claim your rights without violating the fights of others. Do not confuse assertiveness with aggressiveness.41)__________. Learning to communicate assertively involves learning to be honest, open and direct. You can learn to speak up, make requests, ask for favors and accept compliments, and also to express negative thoughts (complaints, resentment, criticism, disagreement), reject intimidation, refuse requests, and demand to be left alone.42)__________. In most cultures higher status has traditionally been given to the masculine gender. Over the centuries, women in many societies learned to remain non-assertive, to stay out of the public eye, to keep their voices down, to be discreet and indirect, not to push, and in the end not even to dare to desire. The vast majority of opportunities for public influence—the ability to forge useful relationships other than friendship, speak up in public, create organizations, use force, and hold important positions in government, business, academia, and in the medical and legal field—were long recognized as men's privilege and right. 43)__________. Back in the 1960s modem feminists noted that most American women (and also a fair number of men) were unable to speak up for themselves in the workplace or in personal relationships; they needed help in learning to be assertive. To fill this gap in communication skills, certain colleges, mental health centers and private consultants began to hold "assertiveness training workshops". These early programs were often part of employer-sponsored professional development training that aimed, among other things, to make employees more effective in communicating with customers, with representatives of other firms and with each other. What does assertiveness training inculcate? The idea at its core is to stop being, or sounding, "wishy-washy". Do not apologize needlessly, make excuses, give long explanations or generally beat around the bush. Very often these weak communicative strategies cause the listener to receive a mixed, unclear or sometimes .just plain wrong message. Assertiveness trainers teach you to identify what is really important for you. Then you must work out in advance (if possible) the point you need to make and how best to make it. Deliver the message dearly and directly (but without memorizing sentences, never a good tactic). 44)__________. Remember also that you axe entitled to your feelings. Your true feelings need no justification. However, at the same time, be a good listener listen more often than you speak. Also pay attention to your listener when you are speaking. Be positive. Notice and appreciate the efforts of others. Give credit where credit is due. You are being legitimately assertive when you stand up for your rights in such a way that the rights of others are not violated. Beyond just demanding your fights, you must learn that you can talk about yourself, your feelings, opinions and interests, without being self-conscious. You can accept compliments without embarrassment. You can ask for clarification.45)__________. After all, how does letting bad decisions go unchallenged contribute to making anything better?A. Some people think that assertiveness training turns nice, accommodating people into complainers or calculating manipulators. Not so: it's your right to protect yourself when something seems unfair. Only you know your true discomfort level and emotional needs. No one should be allowed to get away with presuming to think or feel for you.B. Being aggressive is acting in a self-centered, inconsiderate, arrogantly demanding and hostile manner; this is often counterproductive, since many people react by shutting their minds to your ideas.C. You can disagree with someone openly and say no to requests without feeling guilty. You can ask why and question authority, not in order to rebel, but to assume responsibility for your share in controlling a situation.D. This situation began to change significantly in the West about two hundred years ago. Over the past 40 years, the US Congress has made numerous laws forbidding discrimination based on gender.E. The fewer words you use, the greater will be the impact of what you say. Powerful people communicate succinctly and in measured tones, not stridently. Raising your voice makes you sound defensive and angry, not strong.F. Underlying assertiveness training, obviously, is the belief that we are all created equal and should treat each other as equals. If you were taught as a child to assume that your perceptions, opinions, feelings and wants were less important than those of others, you can either go on behaving according to those assumptions or become an assertive adult.G. Many people have difficulty saying "no" to requests or demands. Assertiveness training provides an antidote to fear, shyness, passivity and—ironically even anger, so there is a wide range of situations in which this training can be helpful.

填空题Videos released by the Center for Medical Progress that accuse Planned Parenthood of selling "baby parts" has spurred members of Congress to launch investigations that may threaten to defund the organization. This has also left some questioning whether fetal tissue is essential to scientific research. Fetal tissue donation has occurred in the U. S. since the 1930s. 1 But Arthur Caplan, director of medical ethics at NYU Langone Medical Center"s department of population health, says it"s less essential to the research field. In the 19808, scientists began using fetal tissue to conduct experimental neural cell grafting procedures on patients with advanced Parkinson"s disease. This research was met by huge controversy, spurred on by anti-abortion activists. In 1988, the Reagan administration issued a moratorium on this practice. The ban remained in place until the 1993 passage of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Revitalization Act. This law supported the use of fetal tissue for research and experimental procedures but set guidelines. 2 The law also makes it clear that researchers using fetal tissue—and companies that procure it—may not be involved in a woman"s decision to terminate her pregnancy. It also prevents people in the medical field from altering the medical procedure for the purpose of keeping the tissue intact. However, Caplan says fetal tissue transplantation wasn"t as effective as researchers initially thought and many scientists began to work instead with stem cells from adult humans and embryos. The NIH Revitalization Act also permitted federal funding for research using human embryos resulting from IVF, though Congress later passed additional laws that set up roadblocks banning research in which embryos were destroyed; these new policies ostensibly put an end to this area of research for some time. 3 Caplan believes that ultimately if the concern was about the ethics of fetal tissue donation and not abortion politics, then the Center for Medical Progress would have launched an attack on for-profit brokers that act as middlemen between research institutes that need fetal tissue for studies and Planned Parenthood (or hospitals) that donate the tissue. 4 5 The company sells fetal liver cells, according to its website. "StemExpress prides itself on complying with all laws. Written donor consent is required for any donation, including bone marrow, tissue of all types or blood," the company writes in a statement on its website. "We are hopeful the events of the last few days will not diminish our efforts to support the research community or hinder our partners from continuing their important work." A. In 2009, President Barack Obama issued an executive order that supported "scientifically worthy" stem cell research, including the use of embryonic stem cells. B. According to the Houston Chronicle, fetal tissue research is a small part of the medical research field, only about $ 280 million worth of NIH projects since 2011, compared with $ 581 million used for embryonic cell research. C. The tissue itself has been traditionally used in research to develop vaccines and gain understanding of human and cell biology". Human fetal kidney cells, for example, were used to develop the polio vaccine. D. These brokers sell the product at a huge profit margin, well beyond the cost needed to cover fees to purify, process and store the tissue. E. We don"t use a lot fetal tissue today, and when it"s used it"s mainly for studying some fetal disease and fetal development, yond the cost needed to cover fees to purify, process research in the U. S. F. One company, StemExpress, issued a statement last week in response to the release of the first video, expressing concern that the attack on Planned Parenthood could be a detriment to the business and the field of scientific research. G. It required written consent of a donor and informed consent by researchers who planned to use the material to conduct experimental procedures and also permitted federal funding for this research under certain guidelines.

填空题The students were reading aloud ______ (当老师进来时).

填空题Directions: In the following text, some sentences have been removed. For Questions (41-45), choose the most suitable one from the list A-G to fit into each of the numbered blank. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the gaps. In 1959 the average American family paid $ 989 for a year's supply of food. In 1972 the family paid $1,311．That was a price increase of nearly one-third. Every family has had this sort of experience. Everyone agrees that the cost of feeding a family has risen sharply. 41．______. Many blame the farmers who produce the vegetables, fruit, meat, eggs, and cheese that stores offer for sale. According to the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the farmer's share of the $1,311 spent by the family in 1972 was $ 521．This was 31 per cent more than the farmer had received in 1959. But farmers claim that this increase was very small compared to the increase in their cost of living. 42．______These include truck drivers, meat packers, manufacturers of packages and other food containers, and the owners of stores where food is sold. They are among the "middlemen" who stand between the farmer and the people who buy and eat the food. Are middlemen the ones to blame for rising food prices? Of the $1,311 family food bill in 1972, middlement received $ 790, which was 33 percent more than they had received in 1959．It appears that the middlemen's profit has increased more than farmer's. 43．According to economists at the First National City Bank, the profit for meat packers and food stores amounted to less than one percent. During the same period all other manufacturers were making a profit of more than five percent. By comparison with other members of the economic system both farmers and middlemen have profited surprisingly little from the rise in food prices. 44．______The economists at First National City Bank have an answer to give housewives, but many people will not like it. These economists blame the housewife herself for the jump in food prices. They say that food costs more now because women don't want to spend much time in the kitchen. Women prefer to buy food which has already been prepared before it reaches the market. Vegetables and chicken cost more when they have been cut into pieces by someone other than the one who buys it. A family should expect to pay more when several "TV dinners" are taken home from the store. These are fully cooked meals, consisting of meat, vegetables, and sometimes dessert, all arranged on a metal dish. The dish is put into the oven and heated while the housewife is doing something else. Such a convenience costs money. 45. Economists remind us that many modem housewives have jobs outside the home. They earn money that helps to pay the family food bills. The housewife naturally has less time and energy for cooking after a day's work. She wants to buy many kinds of food that can be put on her family's table easily and quickly. "If the housewife wants all of these, " the economists say, "that is her privilege, but she must be prepared to pay for the services of those who make her work easier. " It appears that the answer to the question of rising prices is not a simple one. Producers, consumers, and middlemen all share the responsibility for the sharp rise in food costs. [A] However, some economists believe that controls can have negative effects over a long period of time. In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment. [B] Farmers tend to blame others for the sharp rise in food prices. They particularly blame those who process the farm products after the products leave the farm. [C] Thus, as economists point out: "Some of the basic reasons for widening food price spreads are easily traceable to the increasing use of convenience foods, which transfer much of the time and work of meal preparation from the kitchen to the food processor's plant. " [D] But some economists claim that the middleman's actual profit was very low. [E] Who then is actually responsible for the size of the bill a housewife must pay before she carries the food home from the store'? [F] But there is less agreement when reasons for the rise are being discussed. Who is really responsible? [G] Economists do not. agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it.
