Understanding of a mother from a son’s point of view
I. Text Analysis
Question: What made the author change his reaction to his mother’s senility
At the beginning, he tried to argue his mother back to reality from his point of view because he believed that his mother being a normal person would be better for her and her family. But later when he began to look at it from his mother’s point of view, he understood his mother was much happier when she could travel back to her childhood when she was loved and needed. So he would like to travel along with her into her past and understood his mother more.

Unit 4 Microelectronics
Integrated circuits are small, light, rugged, and reliable. They require less power and lower voltages than equivalent macroscopic circuits; consequently they operate at lower temperatures, and individual components may be close together without exceeding the operating temperature limit. Relatively little stray capacitance and short time delays are produced because of the short interconnections between the individual components in IC. Maintenance is simplified because if a component of the IC fails the complete IC is usually replaced. Mass production techniques of plane technology have reduced the cost of many IC so that they are almost as inexpensive as a single transistor. Eventually most conventional circuits will be replaced by IC.
［2］ The reduction in power dissipation is particularly important where a complex circuit is to be concentrated into a small space. The problem of extracting the heat generated in the circuit may then be a difficult one.

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.These are the habits to avoid if you want to make a behavior changeA) According to recent research, behavioral change involves physical changes in the brain. In the past decade, researchers have shown that when it comes to the duration of making a new behavior a deep-rooted habit there is not a simple answer. Even for the most productive and disciplined among us, undoing something that has become an automatic part of who we are takes more than an overnight effort. Once we’ve successfully made that change, we then have to make other adjustments to our lives to ensure that we continue to maintain it, which is often a whole other challenge in itself.B) At its core, success in changing and maintaining a behavior rarely occurs without the introduction of some sort of system. When there isn’t the right framework in place, we face a greater likelihood of derailing our hard-earned progress. To ensure success in changing and maintaining a behavior, we should stay away from some detrimental habits.C) The first one to avoid is relying on willpower. Think about the last time you vowed to resist a temptation. Perhaps you didn’t want to check your phone every 15 minutes, or you were determined not to reach for a chocolate bar at 3 p.m. Think about how difficult it must have been not to glance at your phone when it was within reach, or not to walk to the vending machine when your afternoon slump hit.D) The research on whether we have finite or infinite willpower is inconclusive, but experts do generally agree that you can’t change and sustain a habit if you rely on your willpower alone. The old military saying “You never rise to the occasion, you only sink to the level of training” also applies to behavior change. The idea is simple—you repeat something so many times that it becomes automatic.E) Think about what else you can change about your surrounding that makes it easier for you to perform this change on a daily basis. This is called your “cue.” Basically, it’s a trigger to perform that particular habit. If you don’t want to reach for a sugary treat at 3 p.m., have a box of herbal tea ready at your desk. When 3 p.m. comes around, that’s your cue to pour yourself a cup of hot water and drink that tea, instead of walking to the vending machine.F) The second one to avoid is focusing on negative goals. Sometimes, it’s not your process that lets you down, but the habit that you want to change in the first place. For starters, not eating chocolate to beat your afternoon slump is a harder goal than swapping chocolate for herbal tea when you reach the designated time. Your brain wants to find routinesthat have succeeded in the past and allow you to repeat those actions again in the future without having to think about them explicitly. However, this habit-learning system isn’t so effective when it comes to learning not to do something. That’s why rather than giving up something, think about introducing something in its place. Focus on actions you are going to take that will ultimately conflict with the behaviors you want to stop. When your attention is on doing something new, you give your habit system a chance to operate.G) The third one to avoid is using the same strategies in different circumstances. Because we are creatures of habit, it’s natural to assume that when we do manage to adopt and sustain a desirable behavior, that same strategy will work when we want to make another behavior change. But that’s not always the case. Sometimes, the system that got you to change one behavior might not work for another.H) Sometimes we become accustomed to relying on our guts when it comes to decisionmaking. This serves us well in certain situations, but can hinder us in others especially when we need to consider metrics and data, rather than letting our instinct override everything. For example, if you want to stop checking your email first thing in the morning, you might decide to substitute another activity in its place. But if you want to stop indulging in video games, simply deciding you will go for a run might not be as effective. You might need to introduce another reinforcement, such as meeting a friend and booking an exercise class together.I) The fourth one to avoid is not forgiving ourselves for slipping up. Of course, even the bestlaid plans fail sometimes. You might have stuck to your screen-free nighttime routine for five days, and then a big project landed on your desk and you found yourself in bed with your laptop before you went to sleep. Or you prepared meals on Sunday and stuck to eating healthy dinners at home, but by Friday you found yourself so exhausted and opted to order greasy takeout. Life happens and even if your behavior change is small, every single day can prove pretty inflexible, and at some point your luck may run out, even if just for a day. The perfectionist in you might be screaming to abandon your goals altogether, but try to see it in the bigger picture. Just because you might have temporarily strayed off course doesn’t mean you can’t start afresh the next day.J) The final one to avoid is discounting small progress. There’s a habit that many perfectionists tend to fall into when they try to establish a behavior change. They focus too much on the big goal and don’t take the time to celebrate the small progress they make in the process. Your brain responds to rewards. The basal ganglia, the brain region linked to our performance of habits, is most active at the beginning of a behavior, when the habit is cued, and at the end, when it’s rewarded. Say your goal is to run five miles three times a week, and this week you ran one mile on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Rather than focusing on how far you’ve gone toward your goal, think about how you can reward yourself for the progress you’ve made. It doesn’t have to be big or expensive; it can be something as simple as making your favorite fruit juice after your run. Whatever your reward, it has to be more than just the activity itself to get you going.K) Initiating a new behavior usually seems like the hardest part of the process of change. However, people often fail to adequately prepare for maintaining it. One of the reasons for this is because we mistakenly believe the strategies we used to initiate the change will be equally effective in helping us continue the change. But they won’t. Where changing a strongly deep-rooted habit requires changing our belief about that habit that penetrates deeply into our lives, continually manifesting that wisdom requires that we maintain a positive outlook. If our mood is low, the wisdom to behave differently seems to disappear and we go back to eating more and exercising less. The key, then, to maintaining new behaviors is to be happy! Which is why it’s so hard to maintain new behaviors.L) Remember, overcoming the behavioral inertia that prevents us from implementing new changes, like eating a healthy diet or exercising, can benefit us in the long run and can improve our physical and mental health. No one was born with habits. They were all learned, and can all, therefore, be unlearned. The question is: how badly do you really want to change?36. There is general consensus among experts that willpower alone cannot guarantee one’s success in changing and maintaining a habit.37. One need not abandon their goals completely just because they missed their target temporarily; they can start anew.38. Research shows it is quite another challenge to maintain a behavioral change after you have initiated it.39. It is wrong to assume the strategies we use to start a change of behavior will work equally well in helping maintain it.40. Sometimes, it may not be successful to simply substitute one activity with another to effect a change of habit; you may need extra reinforcement.41. One should introduce something new to replace an old habit instead of simply kicking it.42. Perfectionists focus too much on their big target and neglect celebrating the small gains they make in the process.43. It is of great benefit to us in the long term to conquer the inertia that stops us from making behavioral changes.44. The strategy that successfully changed one of your behaviors may not work for some other behavior of yours.45. Without a happy mood, it seems that our wisdom to adopt a different behavior vanishes.Section CDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.The “American Dream” promises that in the Land of Opportunity, any individual can climb the economic ladder and prosper through hard work and ambition alone. And yet, young Americans today are struggling to earn more than their parents did at the same age, and upward mobility in the US actually compares unfavourably to that of other industrialised nations.So why does the idea of the American Dream persist? A new study in the American Journal of Political Science identifies one factor that has been overlooked: the influence of reality TV.Reality shows have come to dominate US television over the past 20 years, notes Eunji Kim from Vanderbilt University. And the overwhelming majority of these have a “rags-toriches” storyline: they feature ordinary Americans who work hard to achieve great economic success. And while these programmes are regularly among the most-watched shows, news broadcasts—which paint a more realistic view of the economic hardship faced by millions of Americans—get a much smaller proportion of the viewership.Rags-to-riches stories are ubiquitous (无处不在的) on TV—but does watching these programmes actually convince people that economic mobility is easily attainable? To find out, Kim’s team had participants watch a 5-minute clip from a reality show with a rags-to-riches storyline. Control participants watched a clip from a reality show that didn’t have a rags-toriches story. After watching the shows, participants rated how much they agreed with four statements relating to the American Dream.The results showed that those who’d watched a rags-to-riches clip did indeed have a significantly greater belief in the American Dream. Interestingly, when participants were separated by party affiliation, this effect was significant among Republicans but not Democrats, suggesting that the kind of messages implicit in these TV shows may play into people’s existing socioeconomic beliefs.Kim also conducted a survey of 3,000 US residents. They also rated the extent to which they believed success in life is related to various internal factors (such as ambition) and external factors (such as family wealth). Finally, they read a list of TV programmes and indicated which they regularly watched.Participants who were heavy viewers of rags-to-riches programmes or frequent viewers had a stronger belief in the American Dream than those who never watched such shows.Kim concludes that “rags-to-riches entertainment media are an important cultural force that promotes and perpetuates beliefs in upward mobility”. And here’s the problem: if people mistakenly believe that hard work is all that is needed for individuals to make a better life for themselves, they may be less supportive of policies that could actually combat inequality.“In this era of choice, entertainment media are what captures hearts and minds,” Kim writes. “Its political consequences are anything but trivial”.46. What do we learn from the passage about young Americans of today?A) They have greater ambitions than their parents.B) They find it difficult to achieve upward mobility.C) They have overtaken their parents in terms of earnings.D) They envy the opportunities in other industrialised nations.47. What does Kim’s team find about reality TV shows in America?A) They reinterpret the essence of the popular rags-to-riches culture.B) They urge people to achieve economic success through hard work.C) They help strengthen people’s conviction in the American Dream.D) They feature ordinary Americans striving for social recognition.48. What does the author say about news broadcasts in America?A) They attract far fewer viewers than reality TV.B) They are bent on reporting the dark side of life.C) They stand in striking contrast with reality TV.D) They focus on Americans’ economic hardships.49. What can we infer from the passage about Republicans in general?A) They believe strongly in the American Dream.B) They strive to climb the socio-economic ladder.C) They have a very strong affiliation with their party.D) They tend to watch more rags-to-riches TV shows.50. What is stated about people who believe in upward mobility?A) They are likely to blame the government for their plight.B) They regard political consequences as anything but trivial.C) They respect individuals striving to climb the social ladder.D) They are less likely to approve of policies to fight inequalityPassage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.When someone asks us ‘what do you do?’ we nearly always reply with our occupation. Work, for many of us, is much more than a job. It is the defining aspect of our identity. For many of us it is through our job that we can define ourselves.“Without my job I don’t know who I am,” is a sentence that has been uttered on more than a handful of occasions from my office chair. Indeed, it can be one of the most challenging aspects I work on with clients who have lost or been forced into changing their jobs. This loss provokes an identity crisis much greater than the loss of the job itself.One of the things I have come to understand, however, is that our identity is much more complex than we recognise at first glance. If we take the time to reflect we might recognise that as well as our work we can also identify as a friend, a spouse, a son or daughter, a parent, a member of a sports team or religious community. We may recognise that we feel and act differently in these roles and relationships than we do at work. The passive daughter becomes an assertive leader at work. Furthermore, our identities at work are not static. They change over time.I myself have been a shop assistant, a waitress, a student, a graduate, and a clinical psychologist. At each stage my ability to adapt to and develop my career identity has been crucial to my wellbeing. Whilst we like to eliminate uncertainty in our lives at some level we have to manage uncertainty, especially in today’s volatile and ever-shifting job market.How we see ourselves is central to the issue of our identity. When we tell ourselves “I’m good at starting projects but not so great at seeing them through” it can become part of our belief system. But if you have the unfortunate experience of an enforced job change you will need to examine those beliefs to see how grounded in reality they are. You will be required to ask yourself how helpful these beliefs are and consider personal change. We can change our beliefs, behaviours and emotional experience at any time through experimentation, practice and conscious self-discipline. In an age where career progression may lead us into new sectors it is ever more important to challenge our sense of self and explore whether you can create a new experience of your identity by changing the beliefs you hold about yourself in order to expand your career options. Ultimately it is you who define who you are. You are only your job if you let it be so.51. What do we learn from the passage about one’s loss of a job?A) It compels them to visit a clinical psychologist.B) It offers them a chance to play different roles.C) It renders them puzzled about who they are.D) It forces them to redefine their life’s goals.52. What has the author come to understand about our identity?A) It is crucial to our emotional wellbeing.B) It plays a big role in many facets of life.C) It reflects our changing status in society.D) It is more complicated than it appears.53. What does the passage say about our identities at work?A) They are essential to our self-esteem.B) They evolve with the passage of time.C) They overrule all other self-perceptions.D) They are key to understanding ourselves.54. What do we have to do in today’s ever-changing job market?A) Strive to develop our social identity.B) Prepare for different career paths.C) Try to be assertive at all times.D) Learn to manage uncertainty.55. What should we do to expand our career options?A) Alter our perceptions of ourselves.B) Compare various job opportunities.C) Look into newly emerging sectors.D) Exercise self-discipline consciously.Part IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

Languages are intimately related to the societies and individuals who use them.
Writing is derivative of speech.

2. What is Language?
Language “is not to be confused with human speech, of which it is only a definite part, though certainly an essential one. It is both a social product of the faculty of speech and a collection of necessary conventions that have been adopted by a social body to permit individuals to exercise that faculty”.
--R. H. Robins (1921-2000):
General Linguistics (1989)
11
“Language is a form of human communication by means of a system of symbols principally transmitted by vocal sounds.”
It is social and conventional in that language is a social semiotic and communication can only take place effectively if all the users share a broad understanding of human interaction including such associated factors as nonverbal cues, motivation, and sociocultural roles.

Sons and lovers-chapter9-10

Sons and loversChapter Nine The Defeat of MiriamAfter the wedding, Mrs. Morel sat thinking about her children. She hoped that Annie would have a happier marriage than she did. Arthur was now in the army and she knew that he hated it. And Paul seemed to be trapped in his own thoughts. She felt that she must stay strong, so she could guide her children to their happiness.Paul felt life changing around him. He was a man now. Annie and Arthur had left the house. He stayed, but felt something moving inside him. Sometimes he would meet Clara in Nottingham. When he was with her he felt as if he was in a larger more interesting world. She challenged him and made him feel alive.Miriam came to see that Paul could choose the lower path in life. He could be untrue to himself. She feared that he could become a man who chases after the easy joys of life, not the pure and true things that she thought were the real Paul Morel. She could not talk to him like Clara talked to him, but she felt that she could give him something much more valuable.Paul could take no more. He felt Miriam was too good for him. He could never live up to the idea she had of him. He knew that part of him wanted those better things in life, and part of him longed for Miriam. But he also knew that most of him simply wanted to live life.When she was twenty-one, he wrote her a letter. He told her that he could not be her man, as he would always fail her. They were joined at the mind, but life was so much more than that. So if either of them were to fully live, they would have to find other people to love.She read the letter twice before putting it away. She believed that from now on her life would be without love and without of any happiness.This was the end of the first part of Paul‟s love affa ir. He was now twenty-three years old. He had not yet shared a bed with a woman; Miriam had stopped his natural desires. But now they returned. Often when he was with Clara, he could feel his blood grow thick with desire. A new world opened before his eyes.Chapter Ten ClaraPaul and his mother now had long talks about life. Religion was no longer a part in the young man‟s life.He had thrown away all the ideas that could stop him from living the life he wanted to live. In the past,ideas had been the most powerful force in his life, but now life itself was what made his heart come alive.Mrs. Morel tried to keep him from becoming too excited by his new sense of life. He still had not stopped thinking about Miriam, and she saw that this took much of his energy. She also knew that he was becoming very interested in Clara. An older woman, she could only cause her son pain.“M y boy”, she told him, “all your intelligence, your leaving behind of old things, and your new feeling for life, they all don‟t seem to bring you much happiness”.“What is happiness!” he cried. “It‟s nothing to me! How am I ever to be happy?”Mrs. Morel was troubled by his hopelessness.“That is for you to decide, my son. But if you could meet some good woman who would make you happy, you could settle down. It would be much better for you,” She told him.She had hurt him. All the pain he felt over Miriam came to the surface.“You mean easy. That‟s all a women wants: the easy life, comfortable, and with nothing to worry about. I hate that thought. I don‟t care if I‟m happy or not. I want my life to be full. That is the only way to truly live.” he told her.“You have never given it a chance. You should care; you should try to live a happy life, the thought you being unhappy forever breaks my heart.” she said, almost crying.Mrs. Morel wanted to save her son. He was killing himself with his own pain. She hated Miriam for having taken away his joy. She knew that Miriam did not want to do it, but she had. She wished that he would fall in love with a girl who would make him strong again.The months went slowly by. One day, a friend from Nottingham asked him to take a message to Clara. She lived in a house on a small, dirty street. The house itself was old and looked as though a strong wind would blow it down. She answered the door when he knocked. They both felt strange to be meeting at her house. Whenever they had met before it was in public, or where there were other people.Inside, the rooms were covered with clothes and books. Clara tried to clean up a little, but it was no use. She asked him to sit.“Would you like a bottle of beer?” she asked him.He said yes, even though he did not usually drink. He sat with his beer and watched her work around the house. He noticed her body and the way it moved. She was like something from a half-remembered dream. He could not put into words the feeling she caused in him. Confusion and excitement battled in his brain.Paul felt as his eyes were opening. As she continued to work, he felt that he wanted her to ask him for help. He wanted to give her what she needed. It made him sad to see her in such a small and dirty place. She was life, and she should not be spending her days shut away.When he left her, he wanted to run. He went to the train station in a kind of dream and was home before he realized.Clara had educated herself. She had left school at an early age, to work and later get married. But in the last five years she had read everything she could find. She had taught herself French, and knew about most of the important writers.None of this did she tell Paul. She liked to hide her true self from the world. Sometimes Paul caught her looking at people in a strange way. It was almost like she could see into their true selves, and was always sad at what she saw there. Paul would look into her eyes, but they revealed nothing. She would smile and walk away. He wanted to know what lay beneath.One day he found a book of French poetry on her table.“Y ou read French, do you?” he asked excitedly.She was sitting by the window sewing. The afternoon sun made her blond hair come alive. Her neck and arms caught the light and seemed to send it back even brighter.“What did you say?” she asked, smiling.Paul‟s blood boiled. She wasn‟t even listening to him.“I did not know you read French.” he said in a quiet voice.“You never asked,” she replied.He was quiet. He watched her work. She seemed to hate work of any kind, yet always what she made was perfect. He was amazed that she could be so cold. He was always hot and angry, troubled over everything in life. She must be something very special, he thought.“What would you do, if you could do anything?” he asked.“There is little chance that I will ever get that chance, so I don‟t waste my time thinking about It,”she answered. “Y ou only ask that because you think you are too good to be working in a factory, like most people have to do their whole lives. You think that you are a great artist and that it is below you to waste your days with anything but art. But here is some news for you, most people don‟t care about art, they don‟t care about what you think is the only reason for living. The world does not owe you anything Paul. The sooner you understand that the better off you will be.”He was angry, and very hurt.“But I don‟t think that I am too good to work in a factory. It‟s the opposite. I think that that is where real life happens. And that is what I want to paint,” he said, trying to defend himself.“B ut you don‟t live that life. You only use it to show what you think life is. For the people you work beside, that is life, nothing more. They are living, you are thinking about living,” she said.He did not know what to say. For days after he tried to think of an answer to what she said, but his mind was in a storm. Was she right? Or was she hiding her own sorrows by hurting him?After a week, Paul received a package in the mail. It was from Clara. He opened it not knowing what to expect. It was a book of poetry, with a note inside.…Please accept this small gift. It will make me feel less alone if you do. I wish you the best of luck. —C.D.‟“Clara! She can‟t offer to buy me gifts. Who would ever have thought it! ” He said, very excited.He was filled with warmth for her. It was like she was there with him. He could almost feel her beautiful body touching his. Sending him the book had brought them closer together.One day in October they were walking together. Clara stopped at the top of hill and sat down. She seemed to be lost in thought. Paul sat beside her and was quiet for a time.“How old were you when you got married?” he asked quietly, after some minutes.“Twenty-two,” she answered.“That was eight years ago,” he said.“Yes.”“And when did you leave him?” he asked.“Three years ago,” she answered.“Five years! Did you love him when you married him?”She was quiet for a long time.“I thought I did. I don‟t think about it much anymore. He really wanted me,” she said.“You seem to have gone into it without thinking,” he replied.“Yes, I think that is true. I had been asleep nearly all my life,” she said in a dreamy voice.It was a beautiful afternoon. The sun was setting and everything seemed to be at peace. They sat in silence for a long time. Both thinking about how life plays painful games with people. Suddenly, Paul jumped up.“Come on,” he said. “Let‟s go and get some tea.”They found a quiet place and sat down to tea. She said nothing still. After tea she sat looking at her wedding ring. She took it off and put it on the table. Paul watched her, she was so much more alive than he was, he thought.But she was a married woman. It could only ever be friendship. Sexhad become such a difficult thing in his mind that he could never imagine having Clara or Miriam or anyone he knew. He had thought too much about it. He loved Miriam with his mind, and if he ever got married, it would be to her. But he could not honestly say that he wanted her sexually. Clara made him feel alive, and he knew all the shapes of her body, but he thought her beautiful through the eyes of a painter, not a lover.He saw Clara as often as he could. It was when he was with her that life seemed at its best. Through the winter he was less unhappy, and his mother was happy to see it. She still worried about her son, and she knew that he could have no future with Clara, but for the time being she made his life better. So Mrs. Morel said nothing against her.All this time, Miriam still hoped that the best in her would win in the end. She knew how much he thought of Clara, but she still believed that he would return to her. She was the only one that could make the true Paul happy.。

专业硕士英语教材第九章内容及翻译HowtoDealwithaDifficultBoss

Bad bosses often have a recognizable modus operandi! Harry Levinson, an American management psychologist, had catalogued problem bosses, from the bully to the indecisive jellyfish to the disapproving perfectionist. If you’re suffering from a bad boss, chances are he or she combines several of these traits and can be dealt with effectively if you use the right strategy. 糟糕的老板都有众所周知的伎俩！美国管理心理学家哈里·莱文森将问题老板做了个分类，从欺压下属的恃强凌弱型到缺乏主见的优柔寡断型，再到求全责备的完美主义型。

如果你正被一个糟糕的老板折磨，那很可能他或她综合了以上特征，只要方法运用得体，他们就能被轻松地应付过去。

The Bully. DURING his first week on the job, a new account manager at a small advertising agency agreed to return some materials to a client. When he mentioned this at a staff meeting, the boss turned beet red, his lips began to quiver and he shouted that the new employee should call his client and confess he didn’t know anything about the advertising business, and would not be returning the materials.欺压下属类。

Never Eat Alone

Never Eat AloneBy Keith FerrazziChapter 1Becoming a Member of the ClubRelationships are all there is. Everything in the universe only exists because it is in relationship to everything else. Nothing exists in isolation. We have to stop pretending we are individuals that go it alone.-Margaret WheatleyA simple but profound lesson about the power of generosity. Whenyou help others, they often help you.Success in any field, but especially in business, is about working with people, not against them.People who instinctively establish a strong network of relationships have always created great businesses.Connecting is one of the most important business and life skills you’ll ever learn. Because, flat out, people do business with people theyknow and like.Real networking is about finding ways to make other people more successful. It was about working hard to give more than you get.Chapter 2Don’t Keep ScoreThere is no such thing as a “self-made” man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and our thoughts, as well as our success.-George Burton AdamsWhere employees once found generosity and loyalty in the companies we worked for, today we must find them in a web of our ownrelationships.Autonomy is a life vest made out of sand. Autonomous people won’t be seen as good leaders or team players. Their careers will eventuallystutter and stall.The currency of real networking is not greed but generosity.Job security? Experience will not save you in hard times, nor will hard work or talent. If you need a job, there’s only one surefire, fail-safeplace to find them – within your extended circle of friends andassociates.There is no point in keeping track of favors done and owed. Who cares? Bottom line: It’s better to give before you receive. If yourinteractions are ruled by generosity, your rewards will follow suit.Gone are the days where your value as an employee was linked to your loyalty and seniority. Each of us is now a brand. Use branding to develop strong, enduring relationships with your network.Contribute. Give your time, money and expertise to your growing community of friends.Chapter 3What’s Your MissionEvery successful person I’ve met shared, in varying degrees, a zeal for goal setting.The key is to make setting goals a habit. If you do that, goal setting becomes a part of your life. If you don’t, it withers and dies.Three steps to goal setting:o Step One: Find Your Passion¾Disciplined dreamers all have one thing in common: amission. The mission is often risky, unconventional, andmost likely tough as hell to achieve. But it is possible.¾The kind of discipline that turns a dream into a mission, and a mission into reality, really just comes down to aprocess of setting goals.o Step Two: Putting Goals to Paper – Relationship Action Plan ¾ 3 Parts to the Plan•Develop goals that will help fulfill your mission•Connect goals to the people, places and thingsthat will help get the job done•Determine the best way to reach out to the peoplewho will help you accomplish your goals¾Other criteria about your goals. They must be:•In writing and specific•Believable, challenging and demanding¾Next, take ACTION!o Step Three: Create a Personal “Board of Advisors”¾Have enlightened counselors to act as both cheerleaderand supervisor who will hold you accountableChapter 4Build It Before You Need ItBuild a little community of those you love and who love you.-Mitch AlbomPeople who have the largest circle of contacts, mentors, and friends know that you must reach out to others long before you need anythingat all.The most important thing is to get to know these people as friends, not potential customers.Begin to create the kind of community that can help further your career.Those around you are far more likely to help you if they already know and like you.Chapter 5The Genius of AudacityPeople with a low tolerance for risk, whose behavior is guided by fear, have a low propensity for success.The worst that anyone can say is no. If they choose not to give their time or their help, it’s their loss.Nothing in life creates opportunity like a willingness to ask, whatever the situation.Creating an enriching circle of trusted relationships requires one to be out there, in the mix, all the time.Mustering the audacity to talk with people that don’t know you often simply comes down to balancing the fear of embarrassment againstthe fear of failure. I either ask or I’m not successful.Set a goal for yourself of initiating a meeting with one new person a week.Encounters of the audacious kind are what successful careers are built upon.Chapter 6The Networking JerkRules to ensure that you never become a Networking Jerk:o Don’t schmooze. Have something to say, and say it withpassion.o Don’t rely on the currency of gossip. People will eventually realize you’re not to be trusted.o Don’t come to the party empty-handed. In connecting, you’re only as good as what you give away.o Don’t treat those under you poorly.o Be transparent. People respond with trust when they know you’re dealing straight with them. Don’t B.S. them.o Don’t be too efficient. Nothing comes off as less sincere than receiving a mass e-mail addressed to a long list of recipients.Your goal is to make genuine connections with people you cancount on.If you’re not making friends while connecting, best to resign yourself to dealing with people who don’t care much about what happens to you.Chapter 9Warming the Cold CallCold calls are for suckers. I don’t cold call – ever.Four rules for warm calling.1.Convey credibility by mentioning a familiar person.2.State your value proposition – what’s in it for them3.Impart urgency and convenience by being prepared to dowhatever it takes, whenever it takes to meet the other personon his terms.4.Be prepared to offer a compromise that secures a definitefollow-up at a minimum.Don’t be annoyed or take it personally if people won’t get back to you.People are busy. Persist in calling or writing until you succeed.Chapter 13Follow Up or FailWhen you meet someone with whom you want to establish a relationship, take the extra little step to ensure you won’t be lost in their mental attic.Good follow-up alone elevates you above 95% of your peers.FOLLOW-UP IS KEY TO SUCCESS IN ANY FIELD.Give yourself between 12 and 24 hours after you meet someone to follow-up.o E-mail is fine. A handwritten thank-you note is even more effective.o Add contact info to data base and put a reminder in your task list to contact them 30 days later.o But remember – this is critical – don’t remind them of what they can do for you, but focus on what you might be able to do forthem. It’s about giving them a reason to follow up.o Emphasize both your desire to meet again and your offer to help.Chapter 14Be a Conference CommandoTurning a conference into your own turf and setting goals ahead of time is what turns a casual conference attendance into a mission.Is the likely return I’ll get from the relationships I establish and build equal to or greater than the price of the conference and the time Ispend there? If so, I attend. If not, I don’t.Help the Organizer (Better Yet, Be the Organizer) Call the organizer 3 months in advance and say “I’m really looking forward to theconference – I’m willing to devote a part of my resources – be it time, creativity or connections to make this year a smash hit. How can I help?”Better Yet, Speak – giving speeches is the best way to get yourself, your business and your ideas, heard and remembered.Before the event, I’ll scout out a nice nearby restaurant and send out pre-invites to a private dinner that I’ll host alongside the scheduled affair.The more active you become in playing “host” of your own conference within a conference, the better you’ll be able at helping other people make connections, making you a center of influence.Know Your Targets – keep a list of 3 or 4 people you would most like to meet. Check off each person as you meet them. Beside their name jot down what you talked about and make a note about how I amgoing to contact them later.Chapter 16Expanding Your CircleThe most efficient way to enlarge your circle of friends is to connect your circle with someone else’s.This kind of partnering works wonderfully. But the underlying dynamic at work has to be mutual benefit. It should be a win-win for allinvolved.Two quick rules of thumb:o You and the person you are sharing contacts with must be equal partners that give as much as they get.o You must be able to trust your partners because, after all, you’re vouching for them and their behavior with your networkis a reflection on you.Chapter 17The Art of Small TalkSo what should be your objective in making small talk? The goal is simple: Start a conversation, keep it going, create a bond, and leave with the other person thinking, “I like that person.”Be yourself – don’t talk only about non-controversial topics.When it comes to making an impression, differentiation is the name of the game. Vulnerability is one of the most underappreciated assets in business today.Every conversation you have is an invitation to risk revealing the real you. What’s the worst that could happen? They don’t respond in kind.So what? But if the risk pays off, you have now turned the potentially dull exchange into something interesting, and the potential of a real relationship being formed.Tips on the Art of Small Talko First, give a hearty smile. It says, “I’m approachable.”o Maintain a good balance of eye contact.o Unfold your arms and relax.o Show you are engaged and interested by your body language.o Learn to touch people.o Make them feel special.o Adapt your message in a tone and style that fits the other person best.Until We Meet Again – In order to establish a lasting connection, small talk needs to end on an invitation to continue the relationship.Establish a verbal agreement to meet again.Learn To Listen – one should seek first to understand, then to be understood.Miscellaneous ThoughtsHealth, Wealth and Childreno There are three things in this world that engender deep emotional bonds between people. They are health, wealth andchildren.o When you help someone through a health issue, positively impact someone’s personal wealth, or take a sincere interest intheir children, you engender life-bonding loyalty.Social Arbitrage: A constant open exchange of favors & intelligence o Real power comes from being indispensable. Indispensability comes from parceling out as much information, contacts andgoodwill to as many people as possible.o Buy a book, read it and summarize the Big Idea.¾Now pick a few people, some who you know well andsome you don’t, and e-mail them your work.¾All you have to say is “Here are some cool ideas I thinkyou’d like to be on top of.”¾Send out a monthly Big Idea Cliff Notes e-mail.Find Anchor Tenants and Feed Themo Dinner parties create wonderful memories and strengthen relationshipso Anchor tenants: someone outside your social circle that is different than your core group of friendso An anchor allows you to reach out beyond your circle and pull in people who wouldn’t otherwise attend.o Then find the right mix of people that would benefit from the anchor that could also benefit you by getting to know themBuild Your Brando In terms of branding: be distinct or become extinct. Your career is yours and yours alone to manage.o To become a brand, you’ve got to become relentlessly focused on what you do that adds value.。

Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the website and register (注册) the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, "The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both."Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the "real" and not the virtual. The website now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.4．Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A．To make comparisons.B．To introduce the topic.C．To stress the importance.D．To provide an example.5．Why does BookCrossing attract so many people?A．They like to pass books to another reader.B．They like to mail books back to their owner.C．They like to keep books safe in the bookcase.D．They like to get back to the traditional style.6．What does the underlined word "virtual" in the last paragraph mean?A．Unreal.B．Effective.C．Meaningful.D．Wonderful.7．What is the best title for the text?A．Electronic Books: A new TrendB．A Website Brings Tradition BackC．Online Reading: A fashionable trendD．A Book Group for unselfish people阅读理解"Shuan Q" is a meme (网络流行语) which can be used as a popular way to say "I'm speechless" with a matching emoji (表情包) attached behind. No-one can deny the power of the Internet. Some believe it makes language weaker, but some see a brighter side, believing it makes online communication easier between strangers.An elementary school teacher in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, says that the evolution of Internet slang is not all fun and carefree. From his daily observations, he believes the "geographic boundary" between Internet slang and formal language is disappearing. On many occasions, the compositions he has received from pupils have been flooded with abbreviated slangs (网络梗).During last year's Two Sessions, several representatives put forward proposals such as "regulating online language" and "banning vulgar (粗俗) words", specifically to address this issue, expressing the need to reduce online language misuse and strengthen the protection of Chinese.However, many experts and scholars of linguistics and communication including Feng Zhiwei, disagree. Feng, believes that Internet language is a natural product of the dynamic development of language, and it is not necessary to ban it.8．What made the meme "Shuan Q" become popular?A．The power of internet B．The protection of ChineseC．Geographic boundary D．Strangers's communication9．What can we learn about internet slangs from paragraph 2 and 3?A．They are formal.B．They are funny and carefree.C．They are flooded among pupils.D．They were supported by all people.10．What is Feng Zhiwei's opinion about internet slangs?A．They are natural.B．They are misused.C．They should be banned.D．They are disappearing.11．Which word best describe the author's attitude to internet slangs?A．Doubtful B．Objective C．Indifferent D．Favorable阅读理解My family would describe me as anything but a risk-taker. "Grandma drives faster than you!" my younger son likes to joke with me. So when I announced I was going to step outside my comfort zone and sign up for a self-defense course, my children, my husband, and even my mom were a bit doubtful.A gym near my house was offering free two-hour classes including boxing, wrestling and judo (摔跤和柔道). I signed up for it and for the next days I questioned whether yoga would have been a wiser choice. The morning of the class, I pulled up to the gym, grabbed my water bottle along with a bit of courage I brought with me, and walked inside. We learned how to kick and knee someone where it counts and how to strike using the palms of our hands, After the instructor showed various escape techniques, I wondered what I was doing there. Seconds later, I reminded myself that I was on a search to push my boundaries (极限). By the time class ended, I was full of energy.Before I entered the gym, I never imagined I would have the confidence and courage to throw a punch that could discourage someone twice my size. Almost two years later, I still attend classes. As the oldest female in the class, I push myself to keep up, try harder and, more importantly, not quit.Between increasing my strength and feeling confident about protecting myself (although I hope I never have to test my skills outside of the gym), I'm proud of the risk I took in signing up for the course. I know that defending myself is not about strength; it's about strategy. At the same time, I'm calmer and less anxious—a benefit my family enjoys. As for my driving, after a recent lunch date, my mom suggested I speed up to at least the speed limit. She didn't want to be late for her tennis match.12．What kind of person the author was in her family's heart according to paragraph 1?A．She was unreliable.B．She liked taking risks.C．She would drive fast.D．She used to enjoy her comfortable zone13．Which of the following best describes the author?A．Humorous and brave B．Confident and caring.C．Generous and careless.D．Determined and careful.14．What can we learn about the author according to the passage?A．She becomes a better self.B．She often feels upset and lonely.C．She regrets taking the self-defense classes.D．She has ever been attacked outside of the gym.15．What does the passage imply?A．One is never too old to learn.B．Failure is the mother of success.C．Nothing is impossible for a willing heart.D．A woman owes her success to her family support.二、第一部分阅读理解，第二节任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

关于蜥蜴人英文原版书

关于蜥蜴人英文原版书The Reptilian Agenda: Unveiling the Secret Reptilian ConspiracyChapter 1: The Genesis of the Reptilian MythThe belief in reptilian humanoids has permeated human consciousness for centuries, with ancient civilizations such as the Sumerians and Egyptians depicting reptilian beings in their art and literature. In modern times, the concept of reptilian humanoids has gained renewed traction, particularly through the writings of David Icke and other conspiracy theorists. This chapter explores the origins of the reptilian myth, tracing its roots to ancient mythology, religious texts, and the collective human imagination.Chapter 2: The Reptilian Infiltration HypothesisAt the heart of the reptilian conspiracy theory lies the belief that reptilian beings have secretly infiltratedhuman society, assuming positions of power and influence. This hypothesis is often based on the claim that certain individuals exhibit reptilian-like physical characteristics or behavior, such as cold-bloodedness, a lack of empathy, and a predatory nature. The chapter examines the evidence for this hypothesis, analyzing the credibility of anecdotal accounts and the validity of physical and behavioral traits attributed to reptilian humanoids.Chapter 3: The Reptilian Control MechanismConspiracy theorists argue that the reptilianinfiltrators have established a sophisticated control mechanism to manipulate human affairs. This control mechanism is said to operate through various means, including subliminal messaging, mind control, and the creation of societal divisions. The chapter investigates the claims of reptilian control, examining the validity of mind control techniques and the role of social engineering in shaping human behavior.Chapter 4: The Reptilian AgendaThe ultimate goal of the reptilian infiltrators, according to conspiracy theorists, is to enslave humanity and establish a global reptilian empire. This agenda is said to involve the suppression of human consciousness, the control of natural resources, and the implementation of a totalitarian world order. The chapter analyzes the plausibility of this reptilian agenda, assessing its potential implications for human civilization.Chapter 5: The Reptilian Resistance MovementIn the face of the alleged reptilian threat, a resistance movement is said to have emerged, dedicated to exposing the reptilian conspiracy and regaining human sovereignty. This resistance movement is often portrayed as a clandestine network of individuals who operate outside the mainstream, using alternative media and unconventional tactics to fight against the reptilian infiltrators. The chapter explores the nature of this resistance movement and its potential effectiveness in countering the reptilian agenda.Chapter 6: The Science of Reptilian HumanoidsDespite the prevalence of reptilian conspiracy theories, there is no scientific evidence to support the existence of reptilian humanoids. This chapter examines the limitationsof anecdotal evidence and the lack of physical or genetic evidence for the existence of non-human reptilian beings.It also discusses the psychological and social factors that may contribute to the belief in reptilian humanoids.Chapter 7: The Societal Impact of Reptilian Conspiracy TheoriesWhile reptilian conspiracy theories may seem far-fetched, they have had a significant impact on society. These theories have been linked to distrust of authority, fear of the unknown, and the spread of misinformation. The chapter explores the societal implications of reptilian conspiracy theories, analyzing the role they play inshaping public opinion and the challenges they pose to rational discourse.Conclusion: The Enduring Allure of the Reptilian MythThe belief in reptilian humanoids continues to persist despite the lack of scientific evidence, serving as a reminder of the human fascination with the unknown and the tendency to seek explanations for complex events. This enduring allure speaks to the power of the imagination and the human desire to make sense of the world around us. As we move forward, it is important to critically evaluate claims of extraordinary phenomena and to approach conspiracy theories with a healthy dose of skepticism.。
