填空题Clive： The risk of having a heart attack on any given day should be one in seven, but a six-year study coordinated by researchers at the Free University of Berlin of more than 2,600 Germans revealed that average person had a 20 percent higher chance of having aheart attack on aMondaythan on any other day． Pamela： Working Germans tend to be influenced particularly,with a 33 percent higher risk at the beginning of the working week．Non—workers，by comparison, appear to be no more at risk on a Monday than any other day． Otis： The findings could lead to a better understanding of what triggers heart attacks, according to Dr．Stefan Willich of the Free University．"We know a lot about long- term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol but we don't know what actually triggers heart attacks, so we can't make specific recommendations about how to prevent that", he said． Kent： Monday morning have a double helping of stress for the working body as it makes a rapid transition from sleep to activity, and from the relaxing weekend to the pressures of work．"When people get up，their blood pressure and heart rate go up and there are hormonal changes in their bodies,"Willich explained．"All these things can have a negative effect on the blood system which will cause a heart attack．"When people return to work after a weekend off,the pace of their life changes．They have a higher workload，more stress, more anger and more physical activity, said Willich，"We need to know how these events cause changes in the body before we can understand if they cause heart attack．" Ida： Although it is trying to believe that returning to work increases the risk of a heart attack, both Willich and the Italian researchers admit that it is only a partial answer． Both studies show that the over-65s are also to be unprotected in a Monday morning even though most no longer work．The reason for this is not clear, but the Italian team at Liugui Saddo Hospital in Milan thinks over the social interactions—the thought of facing another week and all its pressures—may play a part． Note：thereare two extra statements． Statements[A]There are many reasons for heart attacks．[B]Mondays are really riskier than food and way of life．[C]Monday morning feeling is terrible for somebody．[D]Occasionally, joblessness is safer than employment．[E]Aged people also tend to suffer heart diseases．[F]The steps of reducing heart attack are given．[G] Mtering the schedule may result in heart attack．

填空题Jack Hunter: People who do things I don't like are not necessarily bad people. They should not necessarily be punished just because I don' t like what they do or did. There is no reason why other people should be the way I want them to be, and there is no reason why I should be the way somebody else wants me to be. People will be whatever they want to be, and I will be whatever I want to be. I cannot control other people or change them. They are who they are: we all deserve basic respect.Terry Mason: I can' t solve other people' s problems for them. I don' t have to take on other people' s problems as if they were my own. I don' t need to change other people or fix up their lives. They are capable and can take are of themselves, and can solve their own problems. I can care and be of some help, but I can' t do everything for them.Jill Torrance: I am responsible for how I feel and what I do. Nobody can make me feel anything. If I have a rotten day, I am the one who allowed it to be that way, If I have a great day, I am the one who deserves credit for being positive. It is not the responsibility of other people to change so that I can feel better. I am the one who is in charge of my life.Rip Torn: I will survive if things are different from what I want them to be. I can accept things the way they are, accept people the way they are, and accept myself the way I am. There is no reason to get upset if I can' t change things to fit my idea of how they ought to be. there is no reason why I should have to like everything. Even if I don' t like it, I can live with it.Eddie Jaffe: I don' t have to be in a certain way because of what has happened in the past. Everyday is a new day. It' s silly to think I can' t help being the way I am. Of course I can change. There is more than one way to do something. More than one person has had good ideas that will work. There is no one and only "best" way. Everybody has ideas that are worthwhile. Some may make more sense to me than others, but everyone' s ideas are worthwhile, and everyone has something worthwhile to contribute. Now match each of the schools to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements[A] One should go his own way.[B] One cannot do everything for others.[C] One should be realistic about life.[D]I am my own boss.[E] One should be flexible.[F] I can live with everything.[G] One should not impose one' s own will upon others.

填空题Whenever I hear a recording of John Denver singing "Sunshine on My Shoulders," I find myself smiling, drawn to a love of the sun and outdoors I"ve had for decades as a Michigan native. Walking barefoot to the lake, playing shirtless in the sunlight, and breathing fresh air feel good. 1 Studies have found higher rates of high blood pressure among people with the lowest sun exposure. One reason may be due to nitric oxide, a gas whose production is stimulated when your skin is exposed to the sun"s rays. 2 Vitamin D, which sunlight helps your body produce, is also linked to better heart health. So walk outdoors for 15 to 30 minutes daily. 3 Research on 280 volunteers there found that people had a reduced heart rate, and lower blood pressure when they walked through a forest than when they spent time in an urban area. One of the consequences of modern society is that rarely is our body in direct contact with the ground. The earth has an electrical current. 4 Although "earthing" or "grounding" is considered alternative by mainstream medicine, research shows that the practice seems to be able to reduce heart disease risk. So, walk around barefoot whenever possible, let your backyard grass tickle your feet, and dig your toes into sandy beaches. 5 A 2011 British review of 11 studies found that people who exercised outside generally reported more energy and less anger, tension, and depression—all factors contributing to heart at-tack—than those who worked out indoors. A. Exercising indoors is another option. B. It reduces both heart attack and stroke risks. C. Exercising outdoors may be more beneficial than working out indoors. D. In Japan, walking through forests for healing has become a popular practice. E. Direct contact with it may be a stabilizing force for good health. F. As a doctor, I can tell you they are also very good for your heart. G. You"ll get greater health benefits exercising where it"s green.

填空题James Belasco: When the employee causes a problem, help him or her to recognize that. Describe how you feel about the situation and explain possible consequences. You may also suggest other ways for the person to think about the situation. For instance, tell the person how his or her difficult behavior affects other people, such as coworkers or customers.Ken Carlson: Encourage people instead of criticizing them. Praise them and they'll do more things right and discover talents and abilities they never realized they had. Look for opportunities to compliment a person who demonstrates high work standards. Show the person that you understand everyone makes mistakes and that we can learn positive lessons from mistakes. Or even briefly share one of your own mistakes and thereby strengthen trust between you.Jack Carter: Although you' ve got a lot to do each day, give your first attention to approving and reviewing projects your employees are working on that day. Don't frustrate them by being too busy to OK their work or give direction. Give feedback and share information, ideas and suggestions in a timely manner. Don' t hide behind voice mail and closed office door. Make yourself easy to contact in case they need you.Kelly Hodges: Often, it is the little things we do for people (such as letting workers with long commutes leave early on a snowy day, or springing for dinner when overtime is required) that determine their loyalty to you. Talk with people who have faced challenge in and outside the workplace. Offer them your encouragement. Ask them what things you can do that support them. Work with them to develop a plan for building more supportive behaviors. Show your employees that you care about them. Make certain every employee knows you are committed to supporting his or her development, both professional and personal developments.Robert Scott: Don't shoot down a suggestion before you' ve heard it in full. Many of us are too quick or too eager to show off our own experience and knowledge and say that something won' t work because "we' ve tried it before" or "we don't do it that way. ". Give complete attention to his proposal. Listen carefully and respond with empathy. Seek opportunities to praise and compliment constructive suggestions. Now match each of the schools to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements[A] Don't be overly critical.[B] Reward them for their hard work.[C] Be available.[D] Challenge them with a difficult task.[E] Take a personal interest in people.[F] Be open to ideas.[G] Influence the person' s attitude.

填空题 {{B}}Jenise:{{/B}} I love peas and beans more than most people, so tofu is a natural choice for me. My Chinese friend Annabelle loves them too, and tells me that soy beans contain an ingredient not present in any other food source, or at least in that concentration, that helps prevent breast cancer. When we share a big bowl of these, we eat with abandon "for medicinal purposes"! I like it plain although there may be many different ways to prepare it and it may cure other diseases.{{B}}Lee:{{/B}} In fact, I was probably preprogrammed to like it: As a kid one of my favorite books was Toru and the Tofu (hope I'm remembering the title right), a story about a young Tokyo boy, named Tom, who was given the assignment, his first, of going to the neighborhood tofu maker's by himself and bringing back some freshly made cubes for dinner. I can still recall Tom's unique way of getting it home intact (with a jar filled with water). It all seemed very strange to the five-year old me in semirural Southern California.{{B}}Hoke:{{/B}} It's great in spicy Sichuan style soups, especially with fish, but I like it fried quickly to give a crisp exterior whilst retaining a moist, soft interior. Steaming is another option, with a pork and prawn mince (with spring onion) on top of each cube. The thing that I love most is the texture--really good tofu is just amazing in the mouth, poised as it is between solidity and fluidity. I'm definitely a fan.{{B}}Nyby:{{/B}} It's sort of weird to me. You go into one of those "Mock Vegetarian" restaurants only to find everything on the menu "mock"--mock chicken, mock beef, mock pork, etc. Now whatever you order, it's tofu molded into something that looks like that particular meat. I don't know about you. but if I'm eating a vegetarian I don't need to go through a fantasy of pretending I'm eating a veal cutlet or a pork chop or a chicken breast, is this to delude someone or distract them from thinking they are eating vegetarian food?{{B}}Robin:{{/B}} Precisely because it is so "tasteless", I eat it like a madman: I like the way it picks up the flavors of the dishes it's served with. I can enjoy it in lots of different cuisine, in moderate quantities in relation to other ingredients in each dish. If you try them and tell me that you don't think they have much flavor, I'll have to disagree because that's not tree of tofu. The flavor's mild and you call combine that with the hottest spices in the world, which for me illustrates its most endearing attribute. It does a reasonably good job of absorbing a great many flavors.{{I}} Now match each of the people (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.{{/I}}{{B}}Statements{{/B}}[A] Amazing texture, I enjoy tofu inside out.[B] Eating tofu is a strong childhood memory.[C] Real or unreal, who knows?[D] I am constantly at war with tofu.[F] Don't deceive yourself and others: Tofu is not meat.[E] Tofu hasn't got a unique taste of its own, but it goes well with any food.[G] Tofu is the best medicine.

填空题 {{B}}Lin:{{/B}} To me, work is first and my child is second. I work more for myself than for my child because it's the only way to be economically independent. Otherwise, I may some day lose everything, even my child. I can give for the sake of my daughter but never at the cost of my career. Only after I achieve value through work can it be possible for me to raise my baby. I resumed working after a short maternity (产妇的) leave. Now my daughter goes to kindergarten while I am at work; I think that is her first step into society. {{B}}Liang:{{/B}} Nowadays, economic independence is particularly important to women. The only way to realize self-value is through work. I believe women should first live as a social entity(实体), then as a mother. And there are facts to show that women are not inferior to men in the working world. Child is just another part of my life, it would be impossible to make her my whole life. I think I will also get a nanny(保姆) to lend me a hand. {{B}}Yao:{{/B}} When women make their career as their final pursuit, I think they lose their natural maternal instincts. I hope my wife will put most of her energy and time on child care and family. Because she gives birth to the child, she can do a much better job than the father in understanding the child. The mother should be the main educator while father works as her assistant. {{B}}Wang:{{/B}} Women are naturally fit for human reproduction while men are meant for material production. Married women must assume the role of full-time mothers if their financial situation permits it; and a woman's value is only realized after she has successfully raised her child. {{B}}Zhao:{{/B}} Although we may say women's talents lie in being mothers, we should admit that women do not sacrifice their families for work and they are not expected to give up a chance for a career. Both parents need to balance the responsibilities of family and work. After all women are equal members of society and have value in all social fields.{{I}} Now match each of the items (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: There are two extra statements.{{/I}} {{B}}Statements{{/B}}[A] My child is the focus of my life.[B] Family and work are both important for women.[C] Men should be asked to return to their paternal duties.[D] I would give up the whole world for my work.[E] Women need work to prove their own value.[F] Women are born to be mothers.

填空题Sherwood： We are constantly bombarded with the message that we want more, need more, indeed deserve more from life．With advertisers pushing everything from whiter teethto better homes, and motivational speakers urging US to realize our full potential, we're essentially being told we should strive for a better life and do whatever it takes to get there． Sharon： She credits her happiness and peace to a good attitude-and her faith．"Because I believe God directs my life, I'm positive．I feel good about my future; I feel good about my past, "says the active church volunteer．"We're very family oriented．And I have a very close circle of friends．What else can one ask for?" Jedwab： It makes sense that older people tend to be satisfied．As they near retirement, many look forward to stepping off the career ladder．They're more likely to be thinking about ensuring they have enough financial security to enjoy life than about making a profound change to that life． Ingram： For the contented, doing the things I want to do is i'mportant, as is a satisfying work life．I wondered how difficult it is for the others to get to the point where they could say they are contented．I worked hard and once persevered through bad jobs until I landed a good one in the field now．But there is a fly in the ointment:I still think my life could be even better．Though income doesn't necessarily affect levels of happiness， whether it is making more of it is a key sector． Grewar： In fact, I am beyond dreaming．I am taking action to pursue my ideal life．After completing a business course at Harvard Business School, which, I think，helped me focus on what I truly wanted．I'm now looking at other avenues of advancement， including completing a Master's of Business Administration to further enhance my skills for my current job and preparing to reach high when the opportunity presents itself．I'm even thinking about a dream job．I have in mind that one of the things I'vebeen very interested in is doing marketing for a large international law firm． Note：there are two extra statements． Statements[A] We're quite contented and thank a lot．[B] I'm not only a dreamer but also a doer to pursue my iob in future．[C] We know things could be a lot worse．[D] What's the secret to being content?[E] Job satisfaction is no more about climbing the career ladder to the older．[F] We are pushed byMedia to be busywith a better life．[G] We have a lot more control over our life plan than was the case four decades ago．

填空题Jonnason

填空题Marian: I have a friend who is a team leader of about 25 employees who are primarily women. She's found a trick that works for her most of the time, but not always. Those staff who appear in much less than professional dressing are asked if their mother and father would think appropriate a picture of them dressed in what they believe is "OK" for work. If they say "yes", she then takes a picture and asks them to send it home. Having a camera helps. Having a visual proof drives her message home. Catherine: I think it really boils down to a moral question. Is it morally "right" to use our body to move ahead in business? Or should we instead emphasize intelligence, capabilities, creative and independent thought, professionalism, and other such qualities which many, many women possess, but whom are routinely neglected for promotions and are never glorified or emphasized in our culture. It's okay to be a tough, competent lawyer like Ally Mcbeai, but you won't get noticed unless you look good in really short skirts. Having a nice body is a plus, but I think that there are tons and tons of styles of dress which can show off a nice body in a professional way. Roger: A lot of employees have finally gotten the message about inappropriate (不合适的) dress-down items such as jeans, shorts, revealing tops, etc. They are starting to wear the proper dress-down clothes. However, wearing the appropriate dress-down clothes doesn't mean you're excused from ironing and it' s certainly no license to wear dirty clothes. Wash and iron people! And guys, tuck your shirts in and put on a pair of socks! Briggs: I work in a large company that has adopted the business code. They have an outline of what is acceptable and what is not. On it you find the typical, no blue jeans, no mini-skirts, no bare feet or legs and that type of thing. I guess I agree with Jessica. Anyone with common sense knows how to dress appropriately for whatever environment he or she works in. I am a casual person by nature but I tend to wear the business dress in my office. I do see some people in my building wearing casually and they look strange there. Bill: You're forgetting the most important point—it's "their" business. They are the ones who have put financial resources on the line: who have a whole bunch to lose if the business goes bad: who are providing employment for others. Therefore, they get to make the roles. If that includes a dross code, then that's their right. If you'd like a different dress code—start your own business.　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Statements A. We shall not be moved. B. Money means freedom. C. Photos taking are pleasant. D. There are people who are so careless about dressing. E. Action speaks louder than words. F. It is our society that must be blamed. G. You should wear appropriately where you are.

填空题Paula: The future is determined by the actions of the present day. The responsibility we have for the future begins when we recognize that we ourselves create the future—that the future is not something imposed upon us by fate or other forces beyond our control. We ourselves build the future both through what we do and what we do not do. Mrs. John: The future will see more unbelievable things. In the future, people will be able to predict their performance from the strength of the brain"s electrical activity. Doctor Kramer has found that the strength of the brain"s electrical activity can be measured through the scalp (头皮). Bosses could measure brain activity through the scalp and tell whether a worker is performing well, working hard, or too tired to do the job properly. Mary: In the new century, things around us will be more fascinating. The chemical element in the heart is said to increase your desire for fat, when is stimulated. This means that disturbances of this chemical gelatin can lead to overeating. Doctor Sarah Leibowits presented an academic paper suggesting that the appetite for fat rich food can be controlled through drugs that block the effects of gelatin. Judy: In the future our life will change dramatically. It is quite certain that computers will play an important part in our life. You will visit your doctor, and find that he uses a computer screen and visual information about your condition, instead of his text books. Computers in your home will enable you to answer interactive questions about your health and show the alternative results which will affect you if you act in a certain way. Carrie: In the future, computers will change the way the doctors diagnose and treat their patients. Also doctors will change their traditional notion of medicine. Although pills for tension, heart conditions, being overweight and other life threatening conditions are prescribed by western doctors, most doctors now require patients to focus on healthy way of living by changing diets and doing more exercise as a means to keep fit. Now match each of the items to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. A. You build your own future. B. Healthy lifestyle will be a more popular way to keep fit. C. Computer will be an effective tool for doctors. D. Doctors may not need pills for heart troubles or overweight E. Your brain waves may be used to check out your work performance. F. People will be able to visit doctors more frequently. G. Our appetite will be well controlled by drugs.

填空题John Axtel

填空题Mike: Praise often and sincerely—it"s as simple as that. Employees want to feel needed and appreciated. By offering sincere praise with examples about what they did right, you"ll go far in creating an energetic team. Meanwhile, I don"t agree with the assertion that "to focus on what needs improving isn"t good management." In fact, it"s the balance of praise along with constructive criticism that drives employees to work smarter and reach higher. Frank: This article makes a valid point that needs to be understood, especially for the new generation of workers, my generation. We don"t see ourselves as parts in the machine to be put in the dark to work. My generation needs respect in return from our employer, we need to feel appreciated beyond just a pay check, it"s the difference between being fulfilled at our career and being sad at our job. Joyce: One skill missing in today"s workplace is the ability to build effective business relationships. At the core of that relationship is the need for consistent feedback. "How am I doing?" is a question that should be answered consistently. When you tell an employee once a year what is needed to improve, you have not done your job as a leader—build skills, provide feedback and help the employee grow and develop. Ellen: I don"t see a problem with praising employees when it"s truly deserved (insincere praise is an entirely different story). It"s a cost-free "benefit", if you will, in that it allows employees to see that their efforts are both noticed and valued. In the work world there are always people available to tell that you are doing something wrong and far too few occasions when employees are told that they"ve done something right! Diana: Praise what the employee did. Be specific about why it was helpful. An employee who continually earns your praise also deserves your attention as to how else to reward their behavior. Meaningful praise encourages people beyond anything else. Written comments are available for later review. They give them confidence that they can "do it again." I never regretted praising an employee who deserved it but often kicked myself for missing an opportunity. Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A. Praise combined with criticism is helpful. B. Praise can bring about many kinds of desired behavior. C. Employees may feel it hard to accept insincere praise. D. Let employees know exactly for what they are praised. E. In my opinion, we are not generous enough to give praise. F. Employees need helpful advice on a regular basis. G. Money alone cannot guarantee a sense of career fulfillment for me.
