In his classic novel, The Pioneers, James Fenimore Cooper has his hero, a land developer, take his cousin on a tour of the city he is building. He describes the broad streets, rows of houses, a teeming metropolis. But his cousin looks around bewilderedly. All she sees is a forest. "Where are the beauties and improvements which you were to show me?" She asks. He's astonished she can't see them. "Where! Why everywhere," he replies. For though they are not yet built on earth, he has built them in his mind, and they are as concrete to him as if they were already constructed and finished. Cooper was illustrating a distinctly American trait, future-mindedness: the ability to see the present from the vantage point of the future: the freedom to feel unencumbered by the past and more emotionally attached to things to come. As Albert Einstein once said, "Life for the American is always becoming, never being. "

Have you ever felt your life go into slow motion as you realize something bad is happening? Now scientists have measured exactly how much these attention-grabbing events slow down our perception of the world around us. An example of the world appearing to slow down is when you are hanging on the phone waiting for someone to pick up at the other end. If your attention wanders while you're waiting, then suddenly switches back, you will probably hear what seems like a longer than usual silence before hearing the dialing tone again. To see how our perception of time changes when something new happens, Vincent Walsh and his colleagues put headphones on volunteers and played eight beeps to their right ears. The gap between each beep was exactly 1 second, except for the gap between the fourth and fifth beeps, which the scientists could make shorter or longer. They altered the length of this gap until the volunteers estimated it was the same length as the other gaps. The researchers found that, on average, people judge a second slightly short, at 955 milliseconds. In the second part of the experiment, the first four beeps were played to the subjects'right ear, but the other four were then played to their left. Again, the volunteers were asked to estimate when the gap between the fourth and fifth beeps was the same as the others. This time they judged a second to be even shorter at 825 milliseconds long. Perceiving a second to be much shorter than it is makes you feel as though the world has gone into slow motion. Walsh thinks the effect could have evolved to give us a fraction more time to react to potentially threatening events.

Globally, most smokers start smoking before the age of 18, with almost a quarter of those beginning before the age of 10. The younger children are when they first try smoking, the more likely they are to become regular tobacco users and the less likely they are to quit. A strong link between advertising and smoking in young people has been proven. The more aware and appreciative young people are of tobacco advertising, the more likely they are to smoke or say they intend to. In response to this threat, World No Tobacco Day campaigns for a total ban on all forms of tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship by the tobacco industry.

The opening ceremony of an Olympic games is not an entertainment show, it is not even really about the sporting event itself: it is a national manifesto, a reflection of how a nation sees itself, and where it is going. Beijing was a show of power, strength and dominance. It was an announcement to the world stage that China was re-emerging into the ascendancy. An unstoppable force which most citizens, and many foreigners, believed has its best days still to come. The British example could not have been more different. Leaving aside any concerns over matters of taste, which it would appear Aiden Burley MP has bravely taken the lead on, it was almost uniquely inward looking: championing political correctitude, social programmes, altruism and diversity, ignoring Empire, wealth, power, conflict and gain.

A. That sounds very mechanical.B. Ah, "body language"is really important, isn't it?C. I've never thought about that before.D. You really need to get off to a good start.Fay: Hi, Jerry. I'm thinking of applying for a job with an international company, but I'm worried about having an interview. Can you give me any good tips?Jerry : Hmmm. That's a tough one. I guess the first thing is to try to make a good impression. We often say, "You never get a second chance to make a first impression. "【D7】______Fay: That sounds like a good advice. How do I make a good first impression? Jerry: To begin with, you should firmly shake the interviewer's hand while greeting him or her with a smile. Be sure to keep eye contact, especially when listening to the interviewer. Fay:【D8】______Jerry: Yes, it is. The second thing is to have confidence. You get confidence from being prepared. You should learn something about the company before the interview. Find out what they do, how long they've been in business, what their business motto is, that kind of things. You should also anticipate possible questions, and think about how you will answer. Fay: Should I memorize my answers beforehand?Jerry: No! Definitely not!【D9】______You should be natural when you speak. Just think about how you want to answer, and choose the right words at the time of the interview. That way, you can use the interviewer's own words in your answer, which shows you've been listening. Then you're sure to make a good impression. Fay: That's very helpful.【D10】______Thanks so much, Jerry.
