M: What would you like to know？
W: The usual, you know, something about your background, experience and anything personal that you feel is important.
M: Well, I was born in a city in the southwest and went to school there, right up through college. My father is a lawyer, and my mother is a doctor.

M: That's right. One of my uncles teaches computers in a university and has influenced me a lot.
W: What made you decide to come to the east coast and get into the computer business here？
M: Well, after I finished my engineering degree, I began to specialize in computer software technology and I even had my own company for a while. But I think the cities on the east coast are developing more rapidly and offer a more promising future. So I finally decided to leave my hometown, even though it meant tuming down some job offers there.
W: Sounds impressive. Why don't you have your credentials and references sent to me.'？ I'll show them to the manager. We'll get back to you in a week.
M: Thank you very much.

A Simple Truth about Happiness
After I gave a talk on the subject of happiness, a woman in the audience stood up and said, "I wish my husband had come." "Much as I loved him." she explained, "it wasn't easy being married to someone so unhappy." This woman enabled me to put into words what I had been searching for—altruistic, as well as the personal, reasons for taking happiness seriously. I told her that each of us owes it to our spouse, our children, our friends to be as happy as we can.
I was not a particularly happy child, and like most teenagers, I took pleasure in my anguish. One day, however, it occurred to me when I was taking the easy way out. Anyone could be unhappy, it took no courage and efforts. True achievement lay in struggling to be happy. The notion that we have to work at happiness comes as news to many people. We assume it's a feeling that comes as a result of good things that just happen to us, things over which we have little or no control. But the opposite is true: happiness is largely under our control. It is a battle to be fought and not a feeling to be awaited. To achieve a happy life, it's necessary to overcome some stumbling blocks, three of which are:
Comparison with Others Most of us compare ourselves with anyone we think is happier—a relative, an acquaintance or, often someone we barely know. I once met a young man who struck me as particularly successful and happy. He spoke of his love for his beautiful wife and their three daughters, and of his joy at being a radio talk-show host in a city he loved. I remember thinking that he was one of those lucky few for whom everything goes effortlessly right. Then we started talking about the Internet. He blessed its existence, he told me, because he could look up information on multiple sclerosis the terrible disease afflicting his wife. I felt like a fool for assuming nothing unhappy existed in his life.
Images of Perfection Almost all of us have images of how life should be. The problem, of course, is that only rarely do people's jobs, spouses and children live up to these imagined ideals. Here's a personal example: no one in my family had ever divorced. I assumed that marriage was for life. So when my wife and I divorced after five years of marriage and three years after the birth of our son, my world collapsed. I was a failure in my own eyes. I later remarried and confided to my wife that I couldn't shake the feeling that my family life had failed. She asked me what was wrong with our family now (which included her daughter from a previous marriage and my son). I had to admit that, aside from the pain of being with my son only half the time(my ex-wife and I shared custody), our family life was wonderful. "Then why don't you celebrate it？" she asked. That's what I decided to do. But first I had to get rid of a "perfect" family.
"Missing the" Syndrome One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest flaw. It's like looking at the tiled ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is missing. As a bald man told me, "whenever I enter a room, all I see is hair." Once you've determined what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will really make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different tile, or forget about it and focus on the tiles in your life that are not missing.
We all know people who have had a relatively easy life yet are essentially unhappy. And we know people who have suffered a great deal but generally remain happy. The first secret is gratitude. All happy people are grateful. Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to complain, but it's truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.
The second secret is realizing that happiness is a byproduct of something else. The most obvi

As your lab instructor, it is my duty to assist you in setting up your experiments and understanding your results. I will also grade your lab notebooks. But I have an even more basic responsibility: your physical safety. I will insist on proper precautions, such as wearing protective goggles at all times. I also expect you to use common sense: don't wear long scarves that might catch fire; don't smoke; don't taste unknown substances.
Let me reinforce this point with a story. Issac Newton, perhaps the greatest scientist of all ages, lived in a period when the toxic effects of chemicals were less understood than today. He routinely sniffed fumes, tasted chemicals, and used open containers for heating substances. In the early 1690s, he suffered through a period of insomnia, depression, and mental instability. Though his biographers linked this situation to problems in his personal life, researchers now think it was a consequence of his lab procedures; they found abnormally high concentrations of lead, mercury, and other heavy metals in preserved specimens of his hair.
Consequently, we must learn from the past and put safety first.
At what point in the semester does this talk take place？
A．At the beginning.
B．In the middle.
C．Near the end.
D．During the final exam.
Is that label accurate？ Is it intolerant to challenge another's opinion？ It depends on what definition of opinion you have in mind. For example, you may ask a friend, "What do you think of the new Ford cars？" And he may reply, "In my opinion, they're ugly." In this case, it would not only be intolerant to challenge his statement, but foolish. For it's obvious that by opinion he means his personal preference, a matter of taste. And as the old saying goes, "It's pointless to argue about matters of taste."
But consider this very different use of the term. A newspaper reports that the Supreme Court has delivered its opinion in a controversial case. Obviously the justices did not state their personal preferences, their mere likes and dislikes. They stated their considered judgment, painstakingly arrived at after thorough inquiry and deliberation.
Most of what is referred to as opinion falls somewhere between these two extremes. It is not an expression of taste. Nor is it careful judgment. Yet it may contain elements of both. It is a view or belief more or less casually arrived at, with or without examining the evidence.
Is everyone entitled to his opinion？ Of course, this is not only permitted, but guaranteed. We are free to act on our opinions only so long as, in doing so, we do not harm others.
Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the author？
A．Everyone has a right to hold his own opinion.
B．Free expression of opinions often leads to confusion.
C．Most people tend to be careless in forming their opinions.
D．Casual use of the word "opinion" often brings about quarrels.
1. The importance of the personal competence and success in life.
2. My experience on my way to success.
3. My opinion on how to promote personal success.
How Do You See Diversity？
As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company. During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise.
He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said "untrustworthy," so she decided to offer the job to her second choice.
"It wasn't until attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person," Tiffany confesses. What she hadn't known at the time of the interview was that the candidate's "different" behavior. was simply a cultural misunderstanding. He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开)your eyes.
"I was just thrown off by the lack of eye contact; not realizing it was cultural," Tiffany says. "I missed out, but will not miss that opportunity again. "
Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our understanding of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions.
Hire Advantage
At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult, employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏见)from the process have a distinct advantage. My company, Mindsets LLC, helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots. A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make.
"During my Mindsets coaching session, I was taught how to recruit a diversified workforce. I recruited people from different cultures and skill sets. The agents were able to utilize their full potential and experiences to build up the company. When the real estate market began to change, it was because we had a diverse agent pool that we were able to stay in the real estate market much longer than others in the same profession. "
Blinded by Gender
Dale is an account executive who attended one of my workshops on supervising a diverse workforce. "Through one of the sessions, I discovered my personal bias," he recalls. "I learned I had not been looking at a person as a whole person, and being open to differences. " In his case, the blindness was not about culture but rather gender.
"I had a management position open in my department} and the two finalists were a man and a woman. Had I not attended this workshop, I would have automatically assumed the man was the best candidate because the position required quite a bit of extensive travel. My reasoning would have been that even though both candidates were great and could have been successful in the position, I assumed the woman would have wanted to be home with her children and not travel. " Dale's assumptions are another example of the well-intentioned but incorrect thinking that limits an organization's ability to tap into the full potential of a diverse workforce.
"I learned from the class that instead of imposing my gender biases into the situation, I needed to present the full range of duties, responsibilities and expectations to all candidates and allow them to make an informed decision." Dale credits the workshop, "because it helped me make decisions based on fairness."
Year of the Know-It-All
Doug is another supervisor who attended one of my workshops. He recalls a major lesson learned from his own employee.
"One of my most embarrassing moments was when I had a Chinese-American empl
A．He just wouldn't look her in the eyes.

Morning，NoonandNight The long-hours culture at work
Working an eight-hour day is a luxury for most professional people. Nowadays， the only way to guarantee an eight-hour working day is to have a kind of job where you clock on and off. Those professionals who have managed to limit their hours to what was， 20 years ago， averagely do not wish to identify themselves. "1 can quite easily achieve my work within a normal day， but I don"t like to draw attention to it，" says one sales manager. "People looked at me when I left at 5 o"clock. Now， I put paperwork in my bag. People assume I"m doing extra hours at home."
But more typical is Mark， who works as an account manager. He says， "My contract says I work from 9 until 5 with extra hours as necessary. It sounds as if the extra hours are exceptional. In fact， my job would be enough not only for me， but also for someone else part- time. The idea of an eight-hour day makes me laugh!" He says he has thought about going freelance but realizes that this doesn"t guarantee better working hours.
Professor Cary Cooper， occupational psychologist at the University of Manchester， is the author of the annual Quality of Working， Life survey. The most recent survey found that 77% of managers in Britain work more than their contracted hours， and that this is having a damaging effect for their health， relationships and productivity. Professor Cooper is critical of the long-hour culture. He says that while bosses believe long hours lead to greater efficiency， there is no evidence support this. "In fact， the evidence shows that long hours make you ill." There are， he says， steps that can be taken. One is to accept that the in-tray will never be empty. "There are always things to do. You just have to make the rule that on certain days you go home early. Prioritizing work and doing essential tasks first helps，" he says. He also thinks it"s time to criticize bad employers and unreasonable terms of employment. By all means， show commitment where necessary but when expectations are too high， people have to begin saying openly that they have a life outside of work.
Personal development coach Mo Shapiro agrees that communication is important. Staff needs to talk to managers about the working practices within a company. Both parties should feel that the expectations are realistic and allow them to have responsibilities and interests outside work. She recognizes， however， that in many organizations the response might well be， "If you want interests outside work， then find another job".
She believes that senior staff has a duty to set an example. "1 recently worked for a firm of solicitors where the partners started at 7:30 am. What kind of message is that to send to the staff？" She believes there is no shame in working sensible hours - in fact quite the reverse."Some people might be in at 7:30 but will be doing very little. You can work really hard from9 to 5 and achieve the same. If you find it difficult to achieve an eight-hour day， there is， as a last resort， the old trick of leaving your jacket on your chair and your computer switched on， even after you have left the building.
What does the writer say in the first paragraph about people who work an eight-hour day？ 查看材料
A. They are reluctant to admit to this.
B. They are disliked by their colleagues.
C. They are limited to certain professions.
D. They often catch up on work in the evenings.
W: Yes, it is a tough subject. I do have some ideas, though. What I thought was, we could start off by doing an Internet search for all of her movies, her personal information, and so on.
M: Yes, that's a great way to get started. We can print out everything, then take our time finding the relevant parts.
W: That's what I think. We could also try to do a search on her son too. He's a famous movie director now.
M: Oh yes, I've seen a couple of his movies and he's just as talented as his mother.
W: Also, a classmate told me about an excellent book which contains lots of information about European films from 1960's and 1970's. We could probably find some quotes about her from other actors too.
M: So that's it! We can find everything we need!
W: You can start by doing some Internet searches.
M: I will, and why don't you go to look for that book？
W: I think it would be quicker to call my friend and ask her. She knows exactly where to find the book in the library.
M: True. The library is massive, if you tried to find it yourself you could be in there for days !
W: Ok, you stay here and do this. I'll go and find my classmate. See you back here at, erm…5 o'clock？
M: Great. That gives me plenty of time to make a start. See you later.

The Storyteller
(1) Steven Spielberg has always had one goal: to tell as many great stories to as many people as will listen. And that&39;s what he has always been about. The son of a computer scientist and a pianist, Spielberg spent his early childhood in New Jersey and, later, Arizona. From the very beginning, his fertile imagination filled his young mind with images that would later inspire his filmmaking.＜br＞
(2) Even decades later, Spielberg says he has clear memories of his earliest years, which are the origins of some of his biggest hits. He believes that E.T. is the result of the difficult years leading up to his parent&39;s 1966 divorce, "It is really about a young boy who was in search of some stability in his life." "He was scared of just about everything," recalls his mother, Leah Adler. "When trees brushed against the house, he would head into my bed. And that&39;s just the kind of scary stuff he would put in films like Poltergeist."＜br＞
(3)Spielberg was 11 when he first got his hands on his dad&39;s movie camera and began shooting short flicks about flying saucers and World War II battles. Spielberg&39;s talent for scary storytelling enabled him to make friends. On Boy Scout camping trips, when night fell, Spielberg became the center of attention. "Steven would start telling his ghost stories," says Richard Y. Hoffman Jr., leader of Troop 294, "and everyone would suddenly get quiet so that they could all hear it."＜br＞
(4) Spielberg moved to California with his father and went to high school there, but his grades were so bad that he barely graduated. Both UCLA and USC film schools rejected him, so he entered California State University at Long Beach because it was close to Hollywood.＜br＞
Spielberg was determined to make movies, and he managed to get an unpaid, non-credit internship (实习) in Hollywood. Soon he was given a contract, and he dropped out of college. He never looked back.＜br＞
(5) Now, many years later, Spielberg is still telling stories with as much passion as the kid in the tent. Ask him where he gets his ideas, Spielberg shrugs. "The process for me is mostly intuitive(凭直觉的 ) ," he says. "There are films that I feel I need to make, for a variety of reasons, for personal reasons, for reasons that I want to have fun, that the subject matter is cool, that I think my kids will like it. And sometimes I just think that it will make a lot of money, like the sequel (续集) to Jurassic Park.

A.Inspirations for his movies
