Industrial safety does not just happen. Companies【31】low accident rates plan their safety programs, work hard to organize them, and continue working to keep them【32】and active. When the work is well done, a【33】of accident-free operations is established【34】time lost due to injuries is kept at a minimum. Successful safety programs may【35】greatly in the emphasis placed on certain aspects of the program. Some place great emphasis on mechanical guarding. Others stress safe work practices by【36】roles or regulations.【37】others depend on an emotional appeal to the worker. But, there are certain basic ideas that must be used in every program if maximum results are to be obtained. There can be no question about the value of a safety program. From a financial stand-point alone, safety【38】. The fewer the injury【39】, the better the workman"s insurance rate. This may mean the difference between operating at【40】or at a loss.

Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with major life changes and daily hassles(困难). People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend off(挡开) illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely. Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting(转移…注意力)us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support, a financial aid, material resources, and needed services—that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.

Another cultural aspect of nonverbal communication is one that you might not think about: space. Every person perceives himself to have a sort of invisible shield surrounding his physical body. When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he bumps onto someone, he feels obligated to apologize. But the size of a person"s "comfort zone" depends on his cultural ethnic origin. For example, in casual conversation, many Americans stand about four feet apart. In other words, they like to keep each other "at arm"s length", people in Latin or Arab cultures, in contrast, stand very close to each other, and touch each other often. If someone from one of those cultures stands too close to an American while in conversation, the American may feel uncomfortable and back away. When Americans are talking, they expect others to respond to what they are saying. To Americans, polite conversationalists empathize by displaying expressions of excitement or disgust, shock or sadness. People with a "poker face", whose emotions are hidden by a deadpan expression, are looked upon with suspicion. Americans also indicate their attentiveness in a conversation by raising their eyebrows, nodding, smiling politely and maintaining good eye contact. Whereas some cultures view direct eye contact as impolite or threatening, Americans see it as a sign of genuineness and honesty. If a person doesn"t look you in the eye, American might say, you should question his motives—or assume that he doesn"t like you. Yet with all the concern for eye contact, Americans still consider staring—especially at strangers—to be rude.

Is there something as truth? For a good many centuries "the search for truth" has been【31】the noblest activity of the human mind, but the seekers after truth have come to such【32】conclusions that it often seems that very little progress has been made.【33】,there are many people who reel that we are actually going backward. They【34】, often contemptuously, that we have accumulated more "knowledge" than our ancestors, but they think we are farther from the truth than ever, or even that we have【35】the truth that we once possessed. If people look for anything long enough without finding it, the question naturally arises【36】the thing is really there to find. You have seen a picture of an animal with a lion"s head, a goat"s body, and a serpent"s tail—and maybe an eagle"s wings for good【37】. There is plenty of evidence that each part of this animal【38】—but there is no【39】evidence that the parts ever occur in this combination. It is at least conceivable that the seekers after "truth" have made a similar mistake and invented an【40】combination.

After a 300 million yuan renovation project, Lidai Diwang Miao, or the Imperial Temple of Emperors of Successive Dynasties, was reopened to the public last weekend. Originally constructed about 470 years ago, during the reign of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, the temple was used by emperors of both the Ming and Qing to offer sacrifices to their ancestors. It underwent two periods of renovation in the Qing Dynasty, during the reigns of emperors Yongzheng and Qianlong. From 1929 until early 2000, it was part of Beijing No.159 Middle School. The temple"s Jingdechongsheng Hall contains stone tablets memorializing 188 Chinese emperors. The Jinzhuan bricks used to pave the floor, the same as those used in the Forbidden City, are finely textured and golden-yellow in color. According to Xi Wei, an official from the Xicheng District government present at the reopening of the temple, Jinzhuan bricks were made in Yuyao, Suzhou, specially for imperial use. The renovation was done strictly according to that carried out at the orders of Emperor Qianlong, and only those sections of the temple too damaged to repair have been replaced.

In 1993, New York State ordered stores to charge a deposit on beverage (饮料) containers. Within a year, consumers had returned millions of aluminum cans and glass and plastic bottles. Plenty of companies were eager to accept the aluminum and glass as raw materials for new products, but because few could figure out what to do with the plastic, much of it wound up buried in landfills(垃圾填埋场). The problem was not limited to New York. Unfortunately, there were too few uses for second-hand plastic. Today, one out of five plastic soda bottles is recycled(回收利用) in the United States. The reason for the change is that now there are dozens of companies across the country buying discarded plastic soda bottles and turning them into fence posts, paint brushes, etc. As the New York experience shows, recycling involves more than simply separating valuable materials from the rest of the rubbish. A discard remains a discard until somebody figures out how to give it a second life—and until economic arrangements exist to give that second life value. Without adequate markets to absorb materials collected for recycling, throwaways actually depress prices for used materials. Shrinking landfill space, and rising costs for burying and burning rubbish are forcing local governments to look more closely at recycling. In many areas, the East Coast especially, recycling is already the least expensive waste-management option. For every ton of waste recycled, a city avoids paying for its disposal, which, in parts of New York, amounts to savings of more than $100 per ton. Recycling also stimulates the local economy by creating jobs and trims the pollution control and energy costs of industries that make recycled products by giving them a more refined raw material.

Selling is the direct confrontation between the company and its customer. Management training and material tend to be devoted to “closing the sale”, "effective presentation skills", "use of visual aids" , and so on. The one aspect of selling which is often neglected is "prospecting(寻找可能的顾客)". In advance of any direct selling activity or, indeed, any promotion, it is important to take time and allocate resources to prospecting for clients. Prospecting identifies buyers and makes the best use of time available for selling. It is the quality, not the quantity, of prospects that matters. Market segmentation(条块化) will show the market segment most likely to yield buyers, e.g. manufacturing companies with a turnover in excess of ￡5 million within 50 miles of your offices. Building up a prime prospect file is the most valuable activity a salesperson can do. Once achieved, canvassing(游说顾客) is necessary only to "top up" the prospect reservoir when the level drops; that is, a prospect is converted to a customer, ceases to be a prime prospect and is replaced by another prime prospect. The prospect file will help only if it is kept up to date and used systematically. A follow-up or bring-forward system will force you to plan your time effectively. The selection of prospects can be done at the desk or by telephone. It involves a relatively low cost resource, compared with a field salesperson. The use of computers enables companies to develop a database of prospects which can be used interactively, depending on sales objectives or changes in strategy. By using a computerized marketing database, you can analyze important factors such as source of prospect/lead, date last called, change in staff. A new sales in a market sector can open the door to acquiring a number of new prospects in this sector.

For most kinds of activities, a large group of people can accomplish more and have more fun than one person alone. For example, politicians, businessmen, workers, and【B1】criminals know that they must join organizations in order to be【B2】. Since there is usually strength in numbers, labor unions have a more【B3】influence on wages and company policy than individual workers【B4】. A person may also belong to social clubs and athletic teams【B5】he or she can meet other people who are interested in the same activities.【B6】you have a hobby, such as playing chess, collecting coins or stamps, or playing a musical instrument, you should join a club which has【B7】meetings to talk about your activity; the other【B8】will help you learn more about it. Of course, a group must be well【B9】, or k might be a failure. All the members should work together on projects and choose good leaders to.【B10】their activities. In this way, the organization will benefit everyone in it.

Where do our favorite foods come from? The truth may【C1】______you. Did you know curry(咖喱)isn"t Indian? Did you know Americans weren"t the【C2】______to eat hamburgers? Or did you know pizza wasn"t created in Italy? First, let"s talk about curry. Many people think the English found out about curry from people in India in the 1600 s. But【C3】______, wealthy English people were cooking with curry spices hundreds of years【C4】______British ships traveled to India. In fact, the word "curry" can be found in the English language as far back as 1377. Cooks of wealthy English families created curry dishes, and later these【C5】______caught on in other parts of England. 【C6】______pizza, this dish was probably first made in Persia(what is now Iran). The Persians were eating round, flat bread with cheese in the 500s—nearly one thousand years before pizza caught on in Naples, Italy! Finally, let"s look at the truth behind【C7】______Many people think hamburgers are an American food. However,【C8】______some stories, hamburgers came from Hamburg, Germany. A German named Otto Kuasw made the first hamburger in 1891. Four years later, German sailors【C9】______hamburgers to Americans. Where foods come from isn"t nearly as【C10】______as how they taste—delicious! So, go get some of your favorite food and dig in.
