1 If you often feel angry and overwhelmed, like the stress in your life is spinning out of control, then you may be hurting your heart. 2 If you don’t want to break your own heart, you need to learn to take charge of your life where you can – and recognize there are many things beyond your control. 3 So says Dr. Robert S. Eliot, author of a new book titled From Stress to Strength: How to Lighten Your Load and Save Your Life. He’s a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Nebraska. 4 Eliot says there are people in this world whom he calls “hot reactors”.

新视野大学英语第三版读写教程第二册Unit7课文语法讲解
新视野三版读写B2 U7 Text AWoman at the management level1 When Monica applied for a job as an administrative assistant in 1971, she was asked whether she would rather work for a male or a female attorney. "I immediately said a man," she says. "I felt that a male-boss/female-employee relationship was more natural, needing no personal accommodation whatsoever." But 20 years later, when she was asked the same question, she said, "I was pleasantly surprised that female bosses are much more accessible to their employees; they're much more sensitive and intimate with their employees."2 Female bosses today are still finding they face subtle resistance. There is still a segment of the population, both men and, surprisingly, women who report low tolerance for female bosses. The growing presence of female bosses has also provoked two major questions that revolve around styles: Do men and women manage differently, and, if so, is that a good thing?3 Monica is disposed to think so, on both counts. Now a 40-year-old mother of four, she is president of a public sector labor union with 45,000 members. "Relations with my employees are probably different from those of male managers preceding me," she says. "I know what it's like to have to call and say my kid got the mumps so I won't be coming in. I have a more flexible style —not soft, just more understanding." The man who is Monica's assistant agrees, "She tends to delegate more and is always looking for a consensus. People are happy and flourish because they have an inp ut into decisions and they are not mere bystanders; their energies are harnessed. On the other hand, consensus takes longer."4 So, are the differences symbolic or real? Plausible studies suggest that men are typically hierarchical, goal-oriented and feel entitled. Women, by contrast, manage diplomatically, and share power. That point of view is often challenged and argued. Some proclaim that men and women of similar backgrounds, experience and aspirations basically manage in the same way. This view is echoed by younger women, especially those who have encountered little gender discrimination. That was certainly the lesson for Nicole. When her father died of a heart attack, she was an employee at a petroleum products export company. She quit and took over her family's 160-acre fruit farm in St.David's County. On her first day in the field, a workercalled her "darling". "He was trying to test me. I was shaking with anger," says Nicole, now 34. "I stood erect and said, ‗You wouldn't have called my father darling and you're not going to take that liberty with me. If you do, I'll fire you.'"5 When women work for women, a different dynamic often takes over. Susan,a cashier in a Toronto auction house, says that she has explored friendships with some of her female bosses and feels she can rely on them more. While women may feel more at ease with a female boss, men often have to make concessions to the new working styles. Brian, a marine biologist, says, "It took me a couple of years before I felt comfortable enough to relax around a female manager. In fact, my relations with her were much more businesslike."6 To some extent, the male-female differences come down to conflicting styles. One female vice-president discussed the time she burst into tears during a meeting. "Men think that tears are a nuclear weapon in a conventional war. They take exception to a woman crying, inferring that she's feeling unhappy or violated." The men failed to understand that what prompted her tears was not hurt but genuine rage. "When we cry, it's because we have all this valid rage that has no appropriate release," she says."Women cry; men get relief by going on with the offense or by veiling their feelings to appear composed."7 Deborah, president of a firm with its headquarters in Toronto, says that even if men do understand, they sometimes react differently to the identical information and to her cooperative management style.8 Deborah says that her authority is sometimes undermined by perceptions about her gender. "It stems from the whole social context of traditional roles for men and women," she says. "Mom would tell you to do things, but perhaps you wouldn't take as much notice as when Dad told you to do things. Men also have a stronger urge to control," she says.9 For female bosses, the great expectation of some female employees is one more obstacle. Junior women assume a female boss will promote them more quickly than a man would. But, they also expect female bosses to be more self-su fficient. "They ask, ‗Why can't you scan your own stuff?' or ‗Why can't you do your own filing?'" says one senior female executive.10On the other hand, there is no dispute that a few decades ago they would rarely have had a female boss in the workplace.Nina, a management consultant says she's vaguely optimistic. "I'm looking forward to the day, before I die, when we recognize that the best management styles willbe composed of the best that both genders bring to the table ..." Well, she pauses, maybe not before she dies, perhaps in her daughter's lifetime.Language Points:1 When Monica applied for a job as an administrative assistant in 1971, she was asked whether she would rather work for a male or a female attorney. (Para. 1) Meaning: Monica was asked if she would like to work for a male or a female lawyer when she applied for a managing job at a law firm in 1971.Sentence structure note: ―would rather‖句型1 would rather 的意思是―宁愿；宁可；更；最好；还是…为好‖，后接动词原形，表示优先选择的一种方式。

History of Englishⅰ. The root of EnglishEnglish began as a west Germanic language which was brought to England by the Saxons around 400 A.D. Old English was the spoken and written language of England between 400 and 1100 A.D. Many words used today come from Old English, including man, woman, king, mother, etc. But Old English was very different from modern English and only a few words can be easily recognized. In the 9th and 10th centuries, when Vikings invaded England, Old Norse words, e.g.sky, take and get and many place names, entered the language.From the Norman Conquest (1066) until the late 12th century English was replaced as the official language by Norman French, though English was still used by the lower classes. English from about 1300 to 1500 is known as Middle English. It was influenced by French and also Latin in vocabulary and pronunciation. French brought many words connected with government, e.g.sovereign, royal, court, legal and government itself. Latin was the language of religion and learning and gave to English words such as minister, angel, master, school and grammar.Literature began again to be written in English during this period. One of the most famous Middle English works is Chaucer’sThe Canterbury Tales.ⅱ. The development of Modern EnglishModern English developed from the Middle English dialect of the East Midlands and was influenced by the English used in London, where a printing press was set up by William Caxton in 1476. English changed a great deal from this time until the end of the 18th century.During the Renaissance, many words were introduced from Greek and Latin to express new ideas, especially in science, medicine and philosophy. They included physics, species, architecture, encyclopedia and hypothesis. In the 16th century several versions of the Bible helped bring written English to ordinary people. The Elizabethan period is also famous for its drama, and Sh akespeare’s plays were seen by many people.The development of printing helped establish standards of spelling and grammar, but there remained a lot of variation. Samuel Johnson’s A Dictionary of the English Language (1755) was the first authoritative treatment of English. It defined about 40,000 words and gave examples of their use.By the 18th century American English was established and developing independently from British English. After colonists arrived in the US new words began to be added from Native American languages, and from French and Spanish. In 1783, soon after Johnson’s dictionary was published, Noah Webster’s The Elementary Spelling Book was published in the US. At first it used Johnson’s spellings, but later editions contained m any of what have come to be known as American spellings, e.g. harbor and favorite.ⅲ. 20th Century EnglishDuring the 19th and early 20th centuries many dictionaries and books about language were published. New words are still being added to English from other languages, including Chinese (feng shui) and Japanese (karaoke). Existingwords gain new senses, and new expressions spread quickly through television and the Internet.English is now an international language and is used as a means of communication between people from many countries. As a result the influences on the English language are wider than ever and it is possible that World English will move away from using a British or American standard and establish its own international identity.Ⅲ. Winston Churchillⅰ. A Brief introduction to Winston ChurchillAs a politician, Winston Churchill is remembered as one of Britain’s greatest statesmen. He was the son of the Conservative politician Lord Randolph Churchill and his American wife Jennie. As a young man he served as a soldierin India and Egypt, and as a journalist in South Africa, before entering politics. Churchill became Prime Minister and Minister of Defence in 1940. His radio speeches during World War II gave the British people a strong determination to win the war, especially at times of great crisis. Examples of Churchill’s phrases still often quoted today are “I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat”, and “This was their finest hour”. The Conservative Party led by Churchill lost the election of 1945, but he became Prime Minister again from 1951 to1955 when he retired, aged 80.

Julius CaesarJulius Caesar was the best-known of all the ancient Roman leaders, and the first one to land in Britain with an army.He did this twice, in 55 and 54 BC, although Britain did not become part of the Roman Empire until nearly a hundred years later.Ⅴ. VikingViking was a member of a people from Scandinavia who attacked parts of northern and western Europe, including Britain and Ireland, in the 8th to 11th centuries. In Britain they were also known as Norsemen. They settled on theScottish islands and in areas of eastern England, and the Danish king Canute ruled England from 1016. The Vikings were feared as violent and cruel, but they were also noted for their skill in building ships and as sailors. They had an important influence on English culture and the English language.Ⅵ. NormanNorman refers to any of the people from Normandy in northern France who settled in England after their leader William defeated the English king at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The Normans took control of the country, a process known as the Norman Conquest. They used many of the existing Anglo-Saxon methods of government of the state and the church, but added important aspects of their own and made government much more effective. The language of governmentbecame first Latin, and then Norman French, and this caused many new words to be added to the existing English language.Ⅶ. William CaxtonWilliam Caxton was the man who set up the first printing firm in Britain. He printed his first book in 1474. By printing books in English, Caxton had a strong influence on the spelling and development of the language. Many of the books he published were French stories which he translated himself. Ⅷ. Otto JespersenOtto Jespersen was a Danish philologist, grammarian, and educationist. He promoted the use of the “direct method” in language teaching with the publication of his theoretical work How to Teach a Foreign Language (1904). Other books include his seven-volume Modern English Grammar (1909~1949).Ⅸ. RenaissanceThe Renaissance emerged in northern Italy in the 1300s when, not content with the abstract and highly subjective thinking of the Middle Ages, scholars turned for inspiration to the ancient Greeks and Romans with their love of earthly life. Italian architects rediscovered ancient construction techniques and incorporated Greek and Roman columns, arches, and domes into their public buildings. Instead of the flat, stiff figures of the Middle Ages, Renaissance artists portrayed rounded, flesh-and-blood people, people filled with emotions. To depict the world they lived in realistically, Renaissance artists developed linear perspective, which creates on a flat surface the illusion of depth. Renaissance scholars explored their world through mathematics, science, and engineering. Probably the most famous people of the Renaissance times are Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. By the 1500s the Renaissance had spread to Spain and the countries of northern Europe, where people sought to blend the intense interest in human affairs with spiritual ideals.Ⅰ.

Many kinds of things, such as natural disasters, war and death can cause too much stress in our life. But according to a psychologist, on a day-to-day basis, stress may result from the small things: taking an exam, waiting in line, and having too many things to do in a limited time.We all need stress to add flavor, challenge, and opportunity to life, but too much stress can seriously affect our physical and mental well-being, It reduces the body's immunity and harms the brain, If the stress lasts a long time, it may cause physical illness, insomnia, headaches, backaches, ulcers, high blood pressure-even heart disease.When stress does occur, it's important to recognize and deal with it. There ore some methods we can try. A large number of physical activities can reduce anxiety. Shoring our stress with others can be enormously helpful.

新视野大学英语2 unit7 are you a workaholic？
The disadvantages of workaholism
• 美国心理学家斯宾塞教授指出，“工作狂”属心 理变态，在各单位的低、中级管理人员中尤为常 见。“工作狂”与对工作有热情者有本质区别— 前者往往并不热爱自己的工作，一般很难从工作 中得到快乐，而只是拼命地工作以求某种“心理 解脱”，此外他们在工作中还常常强迫自己做到 “完美”，一旦出现问题或差错便羞愧难当、焦 虑万分，却又将他人的援助拒之门外；而后者则 十分热爱自己的工作，从工作中能获得巨大乐趣， 出现失误时既不会怨天尤人，也不会懊恼不已。 同时也注意与同事和上司协调、配合，因而人际 关系相对融洽。
• 工作狂常常是缺乏条理，总在寻找理由想做得更 多些，没有工作可做时就感到不知所措，想通过 工作来躲避问题。

北京师范大学心理学院副教授张西超指出，压力成瘾症 最突出的表现可以归纳为以下五点，你也可以借此判断自 己的“压力瘾”究竟有多重多深。 1、无工作不亢奋：工作时有使不完的劲儿，回家后 却提不起精神玩乐，也无法忍受脱离工作过于休闲。 2、对加班加点习以为常：认为只有玩命地工作才能 创造出更多的价值，加班加点永远值得。 3、忙碌过后感到空虚：一项工作完成后茫然不知所 措，唯有借下一段忙碌来寻找“存在感”。 4、一定要把工作带回家：始终无法割舍未完成的工 作，致使在家“加班”成为一种习惯。 5、时间永远不够用：从没有时间陪伴家人，没有时 间与朋友约会，到最后甚至发展到没有时间吃饭和睡觉， 于你而言，工作的时间永远不够用。
