A survey was conducted in Shanghai where interviewees wer e asked if they wanted to be a factory worker, one percent of all people interviewed said “YES，” Wang Hongjun, a technici an, said, raising his voice for dramatic(戏剧的；引人注目的) effect.“But I can tell you, only a small part of that one perc ent are telling the truth.”I've met colorful people like Wang all over China.They are cyn ical (玩世不恭的) yet warmhearted, plain spoken but smart.And many of the m are confined(狭窄的；幽禁的) to work in factories.Wang is a top technician but also represents manual factory workers, who are China's most important natural resource.Their energy is powering China's economic boom(急速发展), and their muscle is turning the wheel of the world's factor y.But does their unskilled labor give their life meaning?

秋高中英语 Module 2 A Job Worth Doing 语法透析讲解外研版必修5

2014年秋高中英语 Module 2 A Job Worth Doing 语法透析讲解外研版必修5一、一般过去时一般过去时主要表示在过去某一时刻发生的动作或存在的状态。

在条件、时间、让步等状语从句中，常用一般过去时表示过去进行的动作。

一般过去时由动词的过去式构成。

如：She told me she wouldn?蒺t leave until you came back.重点提示：要注意一般过去时和现在完成时的区别。

现在完成时表示某一动作对现在造成的影响或结果，强调的是现在的情况，因此不能与表示过去的时间状语连用。

一般过去时只表示过去发生过某事，常与表示过去的时间状语连用。

试比较：He has lost the key. （现在没有了）He lost the key. （现在可能找到了，也可能没找到）二、过去进行时过去进行时的构成是“was / were + V-ing形式”。

过去进行时主要用于：1. 表示过去某个时刻正在进行的动作。

2. 表示过去某个阶段正在进行的动作。

3. 一些表示位置移动的动词，如come, go, leave, stay, start, take, arrive, move, close等也可以用过去进行时表示过去将来的动作。

如：The naughty boy was making trouble all the time.三、过去完成时过去完成时是一种相对概念，是相对于过去某一时间或动作而言的。

因此一定要在形式或意义上有明显的过去时间或动作作为参照标志。

主要表示在过去某一时间或动作之前已经完成的动作或存在的状态，即动作或状态发生在“过去的过去”。

常用于下列情形：⑴主语 + 过去完成时 + before 从句（从句用一般过去时）⑵主语 + 过去完成时 + by 从句（从句用一般过去时）⑶主语 + 过去完成时 + when 从句（从句用一般过去时）⑷主语 + told (said, knew, heard, thought...) + 宾语从句（从句用过去完成时）。

2014年秋高中英语 Module 2 A Job Worth Doing What is the

What is the most suitable job for a MBA student.let me say, this topic is not intended to cover all, but limited to the financial field.the students with a MBA degree from top 10 business schools in us, will find it easy to get a well paid job in Newyork. every year, the human resource managers in top investing banks, top commercial banks, mutual funds, investing company and insurance company get huge amounts of resumes and applications from everywhere, but what they are interesting in is limited to those from top busniess schools, especially top10 business schools. the students graduating from havard, mit, stanford, berkeley and so forth will usually be booked in advance before the formal job hunting begins, and when they start working, normally the salaries could be 150000 dollars or so, and it also depends on individuals and reputation of business schools, some higher, some lower, but the basic level is no less than 150000 ,which is also the average level. for these from low rated business schools, the starting salaries will be less than above, if you work in a place rather than Newyork, the salaries will be far less.basically, the first choice for most graduating students is to work at investing bank in Newyork since the best investing banks such as morgan stanley, goldman, merrill lynch, lehman brothers, soloman brothers and jp morgan are mainly concentrated in Newyork. as we said above, according to 20/80 rules that the 20% investing banks get 80% market shares, thus, the best 20 investing banks get 80% profits, market shares and resources while the rest is left with 20%. you might say it is unfair, but it is the reality, in fact, currently, you could see an interesting phenomena that in spite of the fact that the dealing amounts of these top inversting banks are far less than what it is in small bank in respect of underwriting bonds, stocks and others, the profits the former get are far more than ther latter, so this lead to a situation that although best investing banks get involved in limited dealings, nevertheless, whether in biding amounts, the minimun amounts for new customers and the percentage of every dealing, the best inversting banks will be able to earn as much as they wish. accordingly, it directly lead to the fact that the employees working in these top investing banks could be highly paid than those in small investing bank. in addition, the degree of salaries is also depending on your working experiences, for instance, if you are a freshman, in the first couple of years, what you have got may be a small portion of department managers, and this contrast is more obvious when it comes to the senior manager. the higher position you are at, the more you will be paid. for instance, if you works at soloman brothers, the starting salariy is 150000 or so if you are from top business school, while the senior partners of the same firm will be able to get more than 1000000 on the year basis, which may not include extra bonus.if you are unable to work in these top investing banks, the second choice may beinsurance company or mutual funds usually administered by one or more than one investing companies. in constrast with the case in investing bank, although the salaries might be not as high as that, yet, the risks involved are far less than those banks as well. it reflect a fact that the risks are correlated with earnings, which is also a famous rule in the investing theory. working in these firms, you could be able to get stable proceeds in a long term because the structure of balance sheet for insurance comany is also the case in which there are always long term debts shown in the right side while short term assets being shown in the left side, so there is nearly no liquid risk involved. thus, for a particular year, the earnings or profits are nearly fixed in a certain level.if you are too unlucky to find jobs from above, the department of commercial banks or credit unions may be the best choices for you. although the salaries you got here are not satisfactory compared with investing banks and mutual funds, yet, at least no less than 100000 dollars could be guaranteed. for those graduating from small business schools, working as a officer in the department of commercial banks or credit unions might be the most favourite jobs they are able to get as regards their capacities.but above all, as i said repeatly in the previous section, the firm where you are working is not the most imporatant factor deciding your future, that means, even you are working in a small firm, with your efforts made, with your energy and time you devote, it is extremely possible that after several years, you will get promoted quicky, and when you are a senior manager, what you could get in terms of salaries and bonus will be equal to, or more than that in best investing banks. conversly, although you have a high starting point, working at a big firm, if you are lazy, if you are not excellent enough, after seveal yeas, your situation may be not better than those managers from small firms, thus, your own option is very very important. which is your choice, which is your favorite job, what is the most suitable job for you, what is your potential, all these factors decide your future, you should make your decisions carefully in day one before it is too late.。

2014年秋高中英语 Module 2 A Job Worth Doing A Job Worth

A Job Worth HavingAlthough people have obvious financial needs that are a large part of what makes them seek employment, the money side of work doesn’t go far in making a job feel like something worth doing. It won’t make up for a job that is frustrating, boring, inconsequential or just plain dull.People want more from their work. They want to be able to meet some at least of their other needs: for good social contact, for a se nse of achievem ent, a feeling they’re doing something worthwhile, the sense of belonging to an organization they can feel proud of — even a sense of self-worth and meaning in life.It’s a sad fact many people find themselves disappointed in this side of their working lives. Maybe they began a job with high hopes, but now feel let down. Perhaps the work hasn’t lived up to the promises they were made during the recruitment process. Maybe there’s been a change in management and the new style of doing things no longer provides the plea sure they used to get before.Here are some ques tions it’s worth pondering to help decide whether thoseall-important intangibles of corporate culture and working environment will match up to your needs. Whether you’re thinking of a new job, or wondering if what you have is still what you need, it’s wor th taking a little time out to run through this simple checklist.1.Is the organization a community where people share the task of producingsomething most of them truly believe in? Or is it a profit-obsessed,hard-driving labor-camp, where rewards are hi gh because there’s reallynothing else on offer?2.Can you see whether managers and leaders work through trust and respect? Manyorganizations are command-and-control cultures where there’s little or no trust given or expected. If you don’t trust others, th at may not matter.If you do —and you want to be trusted in return —it will drive you crazy.3.If people talk about a “team environment,” check what this means. Does itmean people happily work together when they sho uld, and apart when that is more appropriate? Or is it a crime to stand out in any way, and a hanging offense to express dissent or question the view of the ruling majority?4.Does work/life balance mean employees are allowed to find suitable ways tobalance job and non-job demands? Are there options like home working,flexible hours, agreed absences for family needs? If you exercise theseoptions, will you be marked down as “not committed?” Some organizations have schemes for time off when it’s needed — but heaven help you if you ever make use of them.5.How does the company assess performance? Do bosses get to know their staffand work with them to achieve the best they can offer? Or is it the dreadedannual appraisal —that pointless ritual where people are coldly judged and usually found wanting? Worst of all, do theys ay they’re “results-oriented” and mean that you either “make thenumbers” or make your way out of the building as quietly as possible?6.How all-pervasive are corporate politics? You won’t find an organizationwith none—that’s too much to expect —but the impact of politics varies from about what you would expect in any group of people to something that strongly resembles Soviet Russia under Stalin. Academic jobs are typically the most political of all.7.What does “commitment” mean? Is it being involved, loyal and giving anhonest day’s work in return for your pay? Or does it mean selling your body, mind and soul to the corporation and never questioning any demands it places on yo u?This isn’t meant to be an exhaustive list.Nor am I suggesting that you should seek a particular type of company to work for. One that would drive me insane might be exactly what suits you best. Even the most macho and demanding organization s have their admirers who wouldn’t want to work anywher e else. All that matters is that you should go into a job with your eyes and mind open, knowing what to expect and ready to work in that environment as happily as you can.希望对大家有所帮助，多谢您的浏览！。

2014年秋高中英语 Module 2 A Job Worth Doing Wade Davis S

Wade Davis: Scientist, Explorer and Writer (MUSIC)VOICE ONE:This is Mary Tillotson.VOICE TWO:Wade DavisAnd this is Steve Ember. Today we tell about scientist, explorer and writer Wade Davis. He is working to try to save cultures throughout the world that are in danger of disappearing.(MUSIC)VOICE ONE:Wade Davis has been exploring the mostly unknown areas of the world for more than twenty-five years. He has traveled from the mountains of Tibet to the deserts of North Africa … from the Canadian Arcti c to the rain forests of Borneo.“Light at the Edge of the World” is his latest book. It is published by theLight at the Edge of the WorldNational Geographic Society, where he is an Explorer-in-Residence. The book includes pictures Mister Davis has taken of these hidden places of the world, places which face many threats. The pictures are beautiful and unusual. Some of the images remain in your memorylong after you close the book.One picture shows a guard leaning out a window in a bright orange wall of a Buddhist religious center in Tibet. In another, the yellow light of the sun is just beginning to appear over the morning fog in the forests of the Waorani people in Ecuador. Another picture shows a caribou walking along a huge expanse of white snow in British Columbia, Canada. In another, an Ariaal woman of Karare in Kenya, wearing many bright red necklaces, carries a large load offirewood on her back.VOICE TWO:Other pictures show evidence of a disappearing way of life. For example, one picture is of fallen trees by a river that flows through the forests of the Malaysian state of Sarawak. A large yellow machine rests on the cleared land. A young woman tries to wash in the now polluted river. It is evidence of what is happening to the home of the Penan people in Borneo. They lived by hunting and gathering food as they moved through the forests. However, Mister Davis says the Malaysian government is permitting panies to cut the trees on more than seventy percent of the Penan territory. As a result, the traditional way of life of the Penan is gone. And all their history, which is part of the forest, is lost.VOICE ONE:In “Light at the Edge of the World,” Wade Davis writes about what native groups could teach about different ways of living and thinking. He describes their daily lives, and the threats to their traditional ways. He explains their strong relationship to the land they live on, and the ceremonies that tie them to each other and to nature. For these groups, the land is alive.Mountains, rivers and forests are not just thought of as supports for human life.Wade Davis’s hope is that through this book and other projects he can help people understand the value of what he calls the ethnosphere. He created the word ethnosphere, he says, because words have power. The word describes the total of all thoughts, beliefs and stories of the different cultures alive in the world today. He wants to get people to see thatthere is a link of cultural, spiritual, intellectual and social life that goes around the planet. He says, “The ethnosphere represents all we are and all we have created as humans.”VOICE TWO:Mister Davis says the ethnosphere is being damaged more rapidly and severely than the biosphere – the plants, animals and insects of the world. The sign of this, he says, is in the loss of languages. He explains it this way. Throughout all of human history, aboutten-thousand languages have existed. Today, about six-thousand are still spoken. Yet half of these are not being taught to children, which means they will be lost as soon as the olderspeakers die.Each language contains the history of a culture. It represents the intellectual and spiritual knowledge that es from ancestors down through the years. Languages express the belief systems, traditions and ways of understanding the world that are different for each group of people. Wade Davis says that each way of looking at the world helps us all understand theplex human experience.(MUSIC)VOICE ONE:Wade Davis was born in British Columbia, in northwest Canada. He has degrees in anthropology -- the study of humans, and botany -- the study of plants. He received his doctorate in ethnobotany from HarvardUniversity in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Ethnobotony is the study of how plants are used in a culture.One of the most important influences on his life was a professor at Harvard, Richard Schultes. He was known as the world’s leading expert on plants that are used as medicines and plantsthat affect the mind.Professor Schultes had left Harvard in the early Nineteen Forties to spend six months in South America along the Amazon River. He ended up spending twelve years there making maps of rivers. He lived with more than twenty native groups. In that time, he collected more than twenty-seven-thousand examples of plant life, including two-thousand medicinal plants.VOICE TWO:Wade Davis was a student at Harvard when he met Professor Schultes in Nineteen-Seventy-Three. He told the professor that he too would like to go collect plants in the Amazon. Two weeks later Wade was on his way.He spent fifteen months there during that first trip exploring the Amazon River and AndesMountains of South America. Through the years, he lived with fifteen native groups in eight Latin American countries and collected six-thousand plants.After his first trip to the Amazon area, he went to Haiti to investigate plant mixtures thought to create a zombie, a live person who appears to be dead. He wrote about the experience in the book, “The Serpent and the Rainbow,” an internation al bestseller published inNineteen-Eighty-Six.VOICE ONE:Wade Davis has spent years traveling in South America along the AndesMountains and the Amazon River. His book, “OneRiver, Explorations and Discoveries in the AmazonRain Forest,”tells about his experiences there.He explored many other places, including Tibet, the Arctic and Malaysia. He has experienced daily life that is very different from modern western life. He tells the story of how this way oflife is disappearing as forests are cut, rivers are polluted, and native homelands are seized.(MUSIC)VOICE TWO:Wade Davis says his worldwide travels have been driven by a simple desire for knowledge, for understanding how other people live. But, he says, what also was pushing him into hisexplorations was the need for excitement.One of the pleasures of travel, he says, is the chance to live among those who have not lost the old ways, who still feel their past in the wind. He says he does not learn a lot about the nature of being alive from people who live in modern western ways. The joy of learning about what it means to be human es from those who live in other ways.Mister Davis says he goes up into the AndesMountains and spends a month in a village where an older member of the group tells the future by throwing coca leaves. “I see his people use traditional ceremonies to re-establish their sense of belonging to the Earth. It is here I see a window open wide to a place beyond my imaginings.”VOICE ONE:In his books and in public speeches, Wade Davis mourns the way ancient peoples throughout the world are being torn from their past and pushed into the future. “Change is not the problem,” he says. “All through history, cultures have changed to meet the pressures of more modern times. We are not talking about how we stop history, or change. The real question is how do we direct the flow of change so it does not do harm to living cultures.”He says traditional cultures should be permitted to change at their own speed and in their own ways. It is very possible, he says, to use both blowguns and puters. It should not be achoice of either one or the other.For example, offering modern medicine to native groups should not mean the death of shamanism, the ancient method of healing. The two traditions can support each other.VOICE TWO:Wade Davis points out that the physical destruction of groups of people is condemned worldwide. But the destruction of ethnic traditions is considered in many places to be good policy. He thinks that governments and individuals can be educated to realize this is wrong. Wade Davis says that every culture that disappears reduces human knowledge about the natural world, ways to react to mon problems, and even the meaning of existence. In his book, “Light at the Edge of the World,” and through National Geographic Society programs, he tells the stories of the many cultures of the world. He hopes to use his explorations and storytelling about what he finds to try to awaken everyone to the wonder of the ethnosphere.(MUSIC)VOICE ONE:This Special English program was written by Marilyn Christiano and produced by Caty Weaver.This is Mary Tillotson.。

2014年秋高中英语 Module 2 A Job Worth DoingJob market st

Job market strong for college graduatesEmployers in the United States expect to hire almost twenty percent more college graduates this year than last year. So says the National Association of Colleges and Employers.The group says employers are most interested in students with business, engineering and puter-related training. There is also great demand for business graduates with a master's of business administration or other advanced degree. Employers say they plan to increase hiring of M.B.A. graduates by eighteen percent.Increases in starting pay are also a sign of the demand for business and technical majors. The average pay offer to newly hired marketing graduates is reported up by more than ten percent over last year. The increase is almost eight percent for graduates in business administration.The job market for college graduates has grown stronger and stronger since demand reached a low point in two thousand two. The unemployment rate for all workers is four and a half percent. But people with a bachelor's degree have a jobless rate under two percent.Just over half of employers said they expect to offer jobs to more college graduates this year than last. But the signs of job growth do not look so good for liberal arts graduates. Not only that, starting pay for graduates with a liberal arts degree is up just one percent.Before we go -- we told you last month that the carmaker Chrysler was for sale. This week DaimlerChrysler of Germany announced a deal for its struggling American division. Cerberus Capital Management, a private equity pany in New York, will buy an eighty percent share. The deal is valued at almost seven and one-half billion dollars.Daimler will have to pay about six hundred fifty million dollars to plete the deal.And it will continue to hold twenty percent of Chrysler. But it will no longer be responsible for Chrysler's retirement and health care plans. Their cost is estimated at around eighteen billion dollars.Labor unions are being told there are no plans for major job cuts beyond the thirteen thousand that Chrysler announced in February.Chrysler lost one and one-half billion dollars last year. Recently, though, because of accounting changes, the loss was restated as six hundred eighty million dollars. The new owners say they are looking for a long-term plan to make Chrysler profitable again.。
