Words & Phrases T ranslation 6 7 E X ERCISES A 1 To make your job interview a success, it is important to conduct a practice day prior to the day of your interview. If possible, drive or find transportation to the interview location. Ideally, do this on the same hour as your scheduled interview to identify potential transportation problems including traffic and parking. Once at the site, walk to the location where the interview will be held. This will enable you to become comfortable and familiar with your surroundings and let you know how much time you will need to arrive at the interview on time. Do not go into the specific office, just the general area. Make note of the nearest public restroom so you can use it the day of the interview to freshen up prior to your meeting. 2 In the fast-paced world of business today, every manager needs a personal resource a place to go for advice, coaching, background information, or answers.

I ve seen car/bike accidents, and friends and relatives have been hurt bicycling in cities. I d love to bicycle more in the city in fact, I prefer it to walking, driving, or taking a bus or subway, as long as it isn t raining or snowing. When I meet neighbors bringing their bicycles up the elevator in our apartment building, I try to strike up a conversation about where they ve been and how they feel about bicycling in a big city. Almost everybody tells me that they realize it s dangerous, but they love it, so they do it anyway. Don t you think we should make it safe to do so to get more people out of their cars and onto bicycles? 4 Founded in December 2007 by Allison Janney, Tom McLaughlin, and Chris Martin, Dream Writers Workshop (DWW) is a community of creative writers who come together to encourage each other s writing passions and hone their craft. DWW offers biweekly workshops, monthly poetry and lyric workshops, National Novel Writing Month, writers retreats, and a variety of social events throughout the year. DWW is open to anyone writing in English looking to develop their skills in fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry, scriptwriting, and lyrics.

You might prefer to go to a nursing home to play bingo with the residents. My point is that service is not one-size-fits-all; it helps to find something you love. But how? When I was getting started, I considered a bunch of volunteer opportunities. A lot of my friends thought it would be cool to work at the Humane Society or to help kids through therapeutic horseback riding. But since I m afraid of both dogs and horses, they weren t for me. I d love to be a ski guide for the blind, but I definitely don t ski well enough to do something like that. Eventually, I realized that I liked getting involved with the homeless and those living in poverty by going to the Central Night Shelter. When I realized that I liked one kind of service more than the others, I started volunteering more often. 6 As a sociologist, I am constantly reminded of the power of the past. Although each of us comes into the world afresh, we are not really new creatures. We arrive into a social slot, born not only to a family but also to a religion, community, and, of course, a nation and a culture. Sociologists understand the power of social structure and culture to shape not only our path through the world but also our understanding of that path and that world. Yet we often have to expend much energy trying to get students to see the influence on their lives of the social structure and culture they inherit. Not understanding our past makes many of us incapable of thinking effectively about our present and future. If our journey together through my book will make the realities of our past more apparent, then this most irrelevant subject history might become more relevant to you. At least, that is my hope. 8 9

Didn t you realize your car had a flat tire? [21~22] When a parent sees two children in the midst of battle, the first instinct is to scream at the one who is yours. Unless blood is being shed or the fight is getting particularly severe or one of the children is older and is obviously winning hands down, let the children solve their own problems. Toddlers aren t necessarily polite to one another. They don t get insulted (not for very long, anyway), and they can settle their differences within a matter of minutes and sometimes seconds. Children s disagreements may be more disagreeable to their parents than to the children themselves, but try to suffer in silence rather than interfere. A parent is not impartial and therefore cannot be an effective referee; children may fight even harder if parents are involved, to save face in front of adults

10 1 A 24. Dear Ms. Cummings: I would like to thank you for interviewing me last Thursday for the part-time preschool instructor position. It was a pleasure meeting you and Jennifer Hedge, as well as the wonderful children you have the opportunity to work with. As I mentioned during our conversation on Thursday, my prime interest is in obtaining full-time teaching work. Therefore, I have decided to accept a position as a prekindergarten teacher in an elementary school near my home. Although I would have enjoyed working with your fine staff, I feel that this position provides an ideal opportunity for me to pursue my goals. I have no doubt that you will find a qualified instructor to fill your vacancy, as you manage an excellent facility for children. Best of luck in your future endeavors. Sincerely, Chris Smith 25. The immediacy of is very tempting. It s all too common for someone to sit at his or her desk, make an message on the computer, and then fire it off to the recipient. One piece of advice is to treat with the same thoughtful consideration that you do letters or memos you send out. While it s tempting to send off an in response to something that has angered and disappointed you, resist the urge. Sure, type out the if you want to, but then use the save draft function that most software allows. When you re calmer about whatever triggered your wrath, go back and read the to see if it s one you really want to send. 26. Swimming involves the use of most of the body s muscles and is excellent cardiovascular exercise. As a result, it is wonderful exercise for children. Children tend to burn up a huge amount of energy just playing in the water, and sleep particularly well after an afternoon of swimming. In addition to its contributions to children s physical well-being, swimming offers them a chance to feel good about themselves. Each new skill they learn can be an excuse to celebrate! Knowing they can succeed in one area of their lives, they will feel positive about their ability to meet other challenges. In addition, an afternoon of swimming can be a wonderful time for parents to play with their children. *cardiovascular 10

They are more (B) conservative / independent. 33. Alice Before they unpacked the car and settled into the cottage, they always took a first look at the ocean from what Alice considered her beach. Alice happily ran ahead, reaching the shoreline before her parents. A pleasant shiver coursed through her. On the shiny sand, Alice smiled and hurriedly kicked off her shoes, then inched forward to test the water. It was cold, so she jumped back, staying just beyond the water s grasp. When she looked from left to right, up and down, there were only two things: sky and sea. Alice blinked her eyes and cheerfully gulped the air as if she could draw the whole blue world inside her and keep it forever. *gulp proud envious grateful joyful worried 13

14 [34~36] A According to research carried out by the University of Michigan, a good brain-training program can improve working memory and boost general problemsolving ability, which can raise general intelligence. In the study, after recording the subjects mental agility with a variety of cognitive tests, the researchers gave the subjects a series of brain-training exercises. This mental workout was given to four groups, who repeated the exercises for 8, 12, 17, or 19 days. After the training the researchers re-tested the subjects intelligence. Although the performance of the untrained group improved slightly, the trained subjects showed a significant improvement, which increased with. This suggests that a good brain-training program is an effective way to boost intelligence levels. group size subjects age peers presence time spent training problem-solving ability *agility 35. Recently I was watching a stranger talk on his cell phone. As he listened, his left foot, which had been resting flat on the ground, changed position. The heel of the foot remained on the ground, but the rest of his shoe moved up, so that his toes were pointing skyward, which usually means the person is in a good mood. To the average person, that behavior would have gone unnoticed or been disregarded as insignificant. But to the trained observer, that gravitydefying foot behavior can be readily decoded to mean that the man on the phone. Sure enough, as I walked by I could hear him say, Really? That s wonderful! His feet had already silently said the same thing. *gravity-defying had recently suffered a failure accepted the observer s opinion wanted to finish the conversation had just heard something positive would like to keep people at a distance 14

15 91~ Because children take stories so seriously and believe in them as if they were real life, the author must evaluate with utmost care whether. Good children s stories are considerate of the reader as well as of the facts of life and the world. They may show how life and the world are, how problems are solved, or they may teach, comfort, inspire, or entertain. But none of these goals is successfully achieved when the reader is left discouraged when he finishes reading. To a child, unhappiness creates a problem. It is as if the action of the story had not been completed: The child can be confused or even frustrated. A children s story should allow the child to leave the story with confidence that the characters will continue successfully in their lives after the end of the story. ring. Ice hockey players would be arrested for actions they define as normal during their games. Race car drivers would be ticketed for speeding and careless driving. (B), even when serious injuries or deaths occur in sports, criminal charges usually are not filed, and civil lawsuits asking for financial compensation are generally unsuccessful.

Athletes are allowed and even encouraged to do things that are outlawed or defined as criminal in other settings. (A), some of the things that athletes do in contact sports would be classified as felony assault if they occurred on the streets; boxers would be criminals outside the The value of play lies not only in the amusement and relaxation it gives a child, but also in the learning it provides. Emotionally, even a toddler can play out many aspects of his or her life, so that he or she becomes more familiar with what s going on and finds it easier to live with. Intellectually, play lets a child take in new information and manipulate it to fit in with what he or she already knows. Through play, a child can practice, improve his or her thinking skills and develop his or her creativity. It s better for children to have a special place for their toys, which should be accessible enough to make it easy for them to clean up themselves. Doing something with other children for pleasure is a very valuable means of learning social and communication skills, especially for children who have a tendency to be solitary. 15

16 39. 1 A 40. It is important, however, that the subject be unaware that he is being observed. One method for studying behavior is to observe and record events as they naturally occur in life. ( ) Researchers who use this method, called naturalistic observation, do not bring their subjects into the laboratory and manipulate their behavior in any way. ( ) Nor do they select groups of subjects and set up different experimental conditions. ( ) Naturalistic observation is frequently used to study animal behavior, such as the hibernation habits of bears or the maternal behavior of hens. ( ) For example, a psychologist using naturalistic observation to study how children of different races play together would watch groups of children playing in the school yards or parks, but he would keep himself at a distance so as not to be detected. ( ) If the children were aware that a strange adult was watching, they might behave differently than they ordinarily would. *hibernation At 5:30 a.m., Brian Murphy got himself out of bed to go downstairs to work out.

(B) At the same time, Brian knew he really needed to work out, and this was the only time he could do so. He thought about the things Evelyn really liked. One was her Little People toys. (C) Daddy, can you keep me company? she asked. She wanted him to sleep on the floor in her room. Who can resist such a request?

17 94~95 [41~42] All salespeople are afraid to face their first prospect. Performers, athletes, actors, singers and many others are also frightened before performing. As with the actor, the salesperson has stage fright. It is known that the very best salespeople continue to have this anxiety throughout their careers. Before the big race at a track meet, the distance runner will take several mental practice runs before loosening up on the field. He will actually see himself in the starting blocks and will run the race in his mind s eye, examining all possibilities. Rain or shine, he will be ready. In the same way, a salesperson must see the whole sale before sitting down with the prospect. Just like the actor or singer, the salesperson goes over the part (even out loud) before the curtain goes up. This kind of gets rid of stage fright. My supervisor amazed me in my early days of selling. During my training period, when we reached his prospect s home or office he started whistling a well-known tune from the time he locked his car to the precise moment that he rang the client s bell. At first I paid no attention, but after three or four presentations before which he whistled the same tune, I caught on Difficulties in Sales Management Tips for Giving Oral Presentations Ways to Improve Customer Satisfaction How to Overcome Fear as a Salesperson Necessity of Building Trust with Customers regulation negotiation preparation friendliness forgiveness 17

18 [43~45] ~96 (A) I saw an incredible act of unrelated elephants helping one another when I traveled in Thailand. An old female elephant, perhaps close to 65 years old, fell down in the middle of the night. As it was a very rainy, muddy jungle, I didn t think the tired old female could get up easily. For hours, mahouts and volunteers alike tried to lift her. *mahout 43.

[21~22] There are everyday things that all of us innocently put off until later cleaning the room, doing homework, or the seemingly difficult chore of stopping watching television for ten seconds to take out the trash. But have you noticed that even when you re watching a show or hanging out with friends as the homework piles up, you can t fully relax? You feel this pressure build and build. And no matter how much you do your best to avoid the issue, the longer you do, the more that pressure intensifies. What causes this? It is basically your conscience battling with what you re doing compared with what you should do

23 106~ Dear Mr. Green: I recently renewed our service contract on our copy machine for the next three years. Our lasting business relationship has motivated me to write this letter. I want to compliment your service representative, Peggy Miller. She s always diligent and has good manners. Her work is quick and professional, and she knows how to handle all the problems of our old copy machine. She gives me a quiet confidence in your company. That s one of the reasons we continue to do business with your company. People like Peggy are hard to find. It s not often that I take the time to write a note like this, but she s been so consistently outstanding that I just couldn t help myself. Sincerely, James Brown 25. One of the most pressing problems organizations face today is how to motivate employees to work more productively. Many managers believe that the answer is simple: If the workers need more motivation, pay them more. But this no longer works. In today s society, money no longer serves as the primary motivation force. In times of severe economic depression when jobs were extremely difficult to find, the question of survival of being able to provide enough food for one s family was most important, and money was the prime mover. But in times of prosperity, jobs are generally plentiful and salaries high. People are not forced to remain at unsatisfying jobs, nor are they compelled to work hard at jobs they don t like. They can quit and go elsewhere. Consequently, they don t have to worry about being fired for not doing the best job possible; they can always get other jobs. 23

24 2 A 26. Office workers know that filing information in alphabetical order provides easier retrieval than storing it in no particular order. When memories are similarly patterned or organized, recall is facilitated. The greater the organization the learner can impose on the material, the better the recall. Gordon Bower and others conducted an experiment that illustrated this phenomenon. The subjects were required to learn several lists of words. One group studied slides which presented the words in the form of a tree diagram. The other group studied lists from slides which presented the words in random order. The group learning the organized words from a tree pattern recalled significantly more words than the group learning randomly patterned words. *retrieval 27.

28 2 A [34~36] 34. A married woman comes home from work, kicks off her shoes, flings herself on the couch, and groans, I had an awful day today. How is her husband likely to respond? Sorry to hear that, honey. Let s go to a nice restaurant for dinner, or Oh. What s for dinner? I have asked this question to audiences all over the United States. Most of the unfortunate men choose option two ( What s for dinner? ). Why does this happen so predictably? Because the men assume that when the woman says, I had an awful day, she is simply sharing a piece of information. Although this is technically true, most of the women realize that I had an awful day is actually a coded message. It means, If you loved me, you d take me out to dinner. This message seems so obvious that most wives assume it doesn t need to be. hidden spoken predicted 35. ignored blamed The American Academy of Pediatrics has warned that on repetitive heading of soccer balls in young athletes, the bottom line is probably. Heading drills, in which a child s head is knocked repeatedly, as happens with forward and defensive players, are of greater concern to pediatricians than is the occasional head-punt in a game. A pair of studies conducted in Norway and in the United States compared the mental functioning of large groups of adult soccer players to adults of similar age and circumstances who did not play soccer. Out of 106 soccer players in the Norwegian study, 81 percent had impairment of attention, concentration, memory, and judgment that ranged from mild to severe. In the U.S. study, attention and concentration deficits were significantly more common among those who headed the ball most often. *head-punt less is better it does no harm more is not enough 36. simple is best practice pays off In many situations, we will find it difficult to put ourselves in another person s shoes. We may not have time, we may be troubled by pressures that require our attention, or we may have such strong views that we cannot break outside ourselves. If so, it may be useful to. In the construction industry, for instance, businesses that have an ongoing working relationship often end up in a lawsuit. In such situations, settling a dispute quickly and fairly may be far more important than the precise terms of any settlement. Mediation can help each company better understand the perceptions of the other. Similarly, in family relations, a therapist can often help family members break out of a destructive pattern of interaction by helping each better understand how the world looks through the eyes of the other. ask the help of a third party keep a distance for some time figure out the cause of the dispute remember what was done together communicate in a written statement 28

I tell my students that with four slips, there will be an immediate parent-teacher conference. When it does happen, depending on the severity of the action, different forms of parent contact will occur. (A), if I don t feel it is a serious problem, I will just wait and call the parent on my cell phone when I get home. If it is more of a problem, I will call during planning time or after school. On some occasions, I will ask the child to step out in the hall, and I will call the parent on my cell phone. I don t do that often, because it interrupts the class. I will, (B), do it every now and then, because I want the students to know that if I need to, I can have their parents on the phone at a moment s notice. China with that of a group from the USA. They found no difference in performance between young people from each group. However, the older Americans were outperformed by the older Chinese, who had a much more positive attitude to aging.

In China, older people are still generally revered for their wisdom and old age does not have the same negative connotations that it does in the West. Interestingly, in a Harvard study researchers compared the memory performance of a group from When she spoke to the group in communication practice sessions, Corinne would look above their heads instead of making eye contact with people in the audience. The feedback from the group was that Corinne was disconnected from them. ( ) She gave the impression of being very self-focused and indifferent. ( ) In fact, Corinne s lack of eye contact was the result of a technique she had been taught at college to combat nervousness when speaking in public. ( ) What she never realized, however, was that it kept her from being an effective communicator. ( ) This calmed her down and gave her cues as she spoke. ( ) For example, an approving nod would show that her message was being received and understood. 29

Community services helped her get job training, coached her to do well in interviews, and then steered her toward job openings. (B) After hearing the story, Joe spread the word that he d take in unwanted, nonrunning cars. He repaired them and donated them to people needing transportation in order to work.

Pinto did all he could do to catch Boulanger out. *Allied Counter-Intelligence (B) On another occasion, Pinto turned to one of his men during an interrogation of Boulanger and made arrangements, in German, for Boulanger to be shot by firing squad in an hour s time.

Was Boulanger really just the Belgian farmer he claimed to be? *interrogation (C) The following day, Boulanger was taken to Pinto s office.

I once heard that at the turn of the 19th century there was a buggy whip factory that had made major improvements in their manufacturing process. They made the best-quality whips, and they were continuing to improve them. No other manufacturer in the industry compared. There was just one problem. They were working at a time when the automobile was being introduced. And it wasn t long before the entire nation would change to the horseless carriage. The company soon went out of business. I can t help wondering what the outcome might have been if the leaders of the company had taken the time to pause, understand what their experience was trying to teach them, and make changes in the course they were on. *buggy [21~22] Odessa 35

At the next regular discussion meeting of our Town Forum, on September 20th, we plan to discuss Russia; and it would certainly be interesting and helpful if someone who was actually there could tell us about it. Would you be willing to come to this meeting as our guest of honor to tell us what you saw in Russia and show us some of your pictures? It would be of tremendous interest to the members, and I m sure they would greatly appreciate your courtesy and kindness. We can supply a laptop or a tablet PC unless you prefer using your own.

There seemed to be some inherent virtue in writing reports that followed the classic I. A. 1. a. (1) (a) outline, even though using this structure might mean cutting your ideas to fit the form. At some point in your career, you might have been told to begin every report with a subhead called Background, even when your readers already knew the background or couldn t care less about it.

Paul G. Lewis, CEO of MC 2, a computer network design, installation, and support company in Warren, N.J., decided to focus his limited selling time on customers who could sell for him. Lewis started targeting law and accounting firms, which deal regularly with his potential client base. He figured that if he did a good job for them, they would mention his company to their clients and colleagues. He excelled in his service for his target firms, handed them a stack of his cards when he left, and asked them to recommend MC 2. It didn t take long to see the results. Within two weeks of his first law firm job, Lewis got his first referral. That year, sales grew 700% over those of the previous year, and his sales expense was zero.

Total Primary Energy Consumption and Renewable Energy Consumption by Source, 2011, in the U.S. The graph above shows the percentage of total primary energy consumption and renewable energy consumption by source in 2011 in the U.S. The largest source of total primary energy consumption was petroleum, which was followed by natural gas and coal. Both renewable energy and nuclear electric power were less than one-tenth of total primary energy consumption. Hydroelectric power, which had the largest percentage of all renewable energy sources, accounted for more than one-third of all renewable energy consumption. The second and third largest renewable energy sources consumed were wood and biofuels respectively, and each of them accounted for more than a quarter of renewable energy consumption. The total energy consumption of solar/pv, geothermal, waste, and wind was exactly the same as the energy consumption of wood. *PV(=photovoltaic) **geothermal 38

39 130~ Joseph Jaworski is an exceptionally open listener. The core of his professional competence is his ability to listen with total presence, so that the boundary between him and the other person is disappeared. This quality of attention has a powerful impact on the person being listened to: the person feels heard and supported, becomes clearer about his or her own thoughts and feelings, and more centered and purposeful. The first time Jaworski and I conducted such a dialogue together, I was very bored. As soon as we left the interviewee s office, I turned to Jaworski and asked him how he could pretend to be so interested in the man s life and struggles. But, Adam, he replied, I am genuinely interested in him! That s the whole point! 32. In 1914, Ford introduced an innovation: the $5 workday. This might not seem like much today, but back then $5 was about twice the going wage. It was also far above the wage that balanced supply and demand. When the new $5-a-day wage was announced, long lines of job seekers formed outside the Ford factories. The number of workers willing to work at this wage far exceeded the number of workers Ford needed. Ford s high-wage policy had many of the effects predicted by the efficiency-wage theory. The rates of leaving jobs and being absent fell, and productivity rose. Workers were so much more efficient that Ford s production costs were lower despite higher wages. Thus, paying a wage above the equilibrium level was unprofitable for the firm. *equilibrium 39

I m not missing out on anything I want in my life. I have a good job. I have friends. I have goals I want to pursue. I can pick up the telephone and be with friends whenever I want to or I can be alone and enjoy that. I know you want me to be happy, and this is my way of being happy. You must try to believe this because it s true. You have not failed me as parents. In fact, you have been wonderful parents because you have given me the freedom to search out and find the kind of life that is right for me and that life is being single and happy. And if you think about all this for a little while, I think you will understand and be happy for me too. older, appeared not to need to manipulate the forms to do well on the task, whereas the children who only touched the forms continued to do poorly; the children, however, who only saw the forms became progressively more accurate with age.

[34~36] 34. Alexander V. Zaporozhets, in a study of preschool children, had one group of children manipulate several irregular geometric forms by inserting them into a formboard. Children in a second group inspected the forms visually but never touched them, while those in a third group only manipulated them tactually. When the children were required to discriminate geometric forms from a group of unfamiliar ones, it was found that those who had both visually and tactually manipulated the original forms made less than half the errors made by the two other groups.

You did a nice job in comparing one investment to another. I think you mentioned all the relevant tax laws most people need to concern themselves with. That compliment implies that the giver is in a position to judge the thoroughness or accuracy of the material that the speaker presented. In a similar situation, take care not to word your compliment in such a way that you are elevating your own expertise. A better phrasing of the previous compliment might have been: I enjoyed your presentation. Your comparison of investments was interesting, and your insights on the tax laws were some I had never heard shared before today. feel jealous of the speaker s talent be also praised for his consideration recognize harmful effects of criticism be placing himself in a one-up position enjoy greater peace of mind and happiness 40

41 132~ Differences in culture between dealmakers can interrupt negotiations in many ways. Above all, they can. If one American executive responds to another American s proposal by saying, That s difficult, the response, interpreted against American culture and business practice, probably means that the door is still open for further discussion and that perhaps the other side should sweeten its offer. In some other cultures, for example, many in Asia, people may be reluctant to say a direct no, even when that is their intention. So when a Japanese negotiator in response to a proposal says, That s difficult, he is clearly indicating that the proposal is unacceptable. It s difficult, means no to the Japanese, but maybe to the American. things happen as they do. We all know, for example, that the moon is riddled with craters. From a scientific point of view, what is of interest is precisely why this should be so. What natural processes have led to the formation of the craters?

There are bound to be as many reasons as there are practicing scientists. (A), there is a single why underlying all scientific research. In general, scientists study the natural world to figure out why Parents can live through their children by pushing them to reach standards they never achieved themselves. But it s impossible for a child to live up to his parents expectations all the time, and sometimes he will let them down. These little failures can give his confidence a knock, which wouldn t matter too much in the ordinary way of things. But when the child is under too much pressure to succeed, his lack of confidence can either make him try exceptionally hard to please or perhaps just make him give up. Each parent should try to avoid giving instructions that are not consistent with the other s, as it makes him very anxious. Consequently, the child can be too good and can feel it necessary to conform too much, which may cause him to keep in his mind feelings of resentment, perhaps for the rest of his life. 41

Suppose you take a trip to Melbourne, Australia. You meet an Australian who says to you, Come over to my house for tea tonight. You say, Fine. What time should I come? Oh, about 7 or so, is the reply. (A) You will find that tea includes lamb chops and sausages, chips (french-fried potatoes), a veggie (such as peas or beans), a salad, and dessert. After you finish all of this, you will be asked if you are ready for tea, and whether you want it black or white (without or with milk). (B) Preparations for your visit would not even have started. When Australians say 7 p.m., most would not expect you until 7:30 at the earliest, and 8 would be about right. If you have eaten dinner before you arrive, you will wish you had not.

43 135~137 [41~42] In business, we often say that your best customers are the customers you have now. In other words, your most successful sales leads come from the selling you ve already done. The highest returns don t come from new sales; they come on top of the customer base you ve already established. It s easiest to reach out to those people who are at least tangentially part of your network. The big hurdles of networking revolve around the cold calls, meeting of new people, and all the activities that involve engaging the. But the first step has nothing to do with strangers; you should start connecting with the people you do know. Focus on your immediate network: friends of friends, old acquaintances from school, and family. I suspect you ve never asked your cousins, brothers, or brothers-in-law if they know anyone that they could introduce you to to help fulfill your goals. Everyone from your family to your mailman is a portal to an entirely new set of folks. So don t wait until you re out of a job, or on your own, to begin reaching out to others. You ve got to create a community of colleagues and friends before you need it. Others around you are far more likely to help you if they already know and like you. Start gardening now.

And, though I know most other students don t agree, I think uniforms are the best thing that could happen to our nation s youth and to the educational system as a whole. Walking through the halls of some schools used to be like attending a fashion show. Baggy jeans, flashy cropped tops, khaki trousers, and patterned sweaters created a whirlwind of color and styles. Not anymore. School uniforms and uniform dress codes have taken over in many schools and are being considered in many others. A great number of students are rebelling, claiming that wearing a uniform violates their freedom of expression. Some students show their discontent by deliberately dressing sloppily or wearing unapproved colors. I don t think these students have thought the issue through clearly

49 ~149 Dear Dr. Franklin: I am a junior at Emerald High School and a member of a student organization that performs community service. I am writing to ask to meet with you to discuss ways that a group of us can volunteer at the Green Valley Retirement Village. We believe that we could perform services valuable to Green Valley s residents. We could read aloud to visually impaired residents, run errands for those who find it difficult to get around, and visit with those who could use some company. We believe that this time would be well spent, for it would increase understanding across the generations. To set up a meeting time at your convenience, please call me at I look forward to meeting with you. Sincerely yours, Michael C. O Connor President Community Action Group An ecosystem is composed of both biotic and abiotic factors. Biotic factors are the living parts of an ecosystem the animals, plants, and microorganisms. These biotic factors interact with each other in complex ways, and they also interact with the nonliving parts of the ecosystem the abiotic factors. Some abiotic factors that influence living things are temperature, sunlight, humidity, water supply, soil type, and mineral nutrients. To appreciate how all the things in an ecosystem are connected, think about how an automobile works. The engine alone is made up of hundreds of individual parts, all working together to make the automobile run. If even one part breaks, the car might not run. Similarly, if one part of an ecosystem is destroyed, the entire ecosystem can be affected. *abiotic 49

50 26. 4 A The study of history assumes a basic importance in the college curriculum because it is considered to be indispensable background for all other forms of knowledge, not only in the humanities but also in the social and physical sciences. The freshman survey course in European history particularly serves this function of providing a cultural, social, and political context for every other intellectual discipline and branch of knowledge. Without some knowledge of the conditions of government and society in late sixteenthcentury England, at least half of what Shakespeare is saying becomes incomprehensible; and without an understanding of the social and intellectual forces at work during the era of the French Revolution, we would fail to comprehend the ideas that inspired Beethoven s symphonies. *indispensable What Major Pays Off in the Future?

According to the information in the graph, all the metals but silver melt at a temperature higher than 1,000 C. Among these metals, iron has the highest melting temperature, which is approximately 1,500 C. Nickel has the second highest melting temperature, which is higher than the melting temperature of copper. There is no significant difference between the melting temperatures of gold and copper, gold melting at a very slightly higher temperature than copper. Silver has the lowest melting temperature among the five metals, and the difference between the melting temperatures of silver and gold is about 100 C. Insomnia isn t a disease, but it is a continuing problem for some 15 to 20 million Americans and causes occasional problems for almost everyone else. It is a frequent cause of doctor visits, many of which could be avoided. For most people, occasional insomnia is a response to excitement. Both good and bad events in your life can keep you awake at night. Other people develop poor sleeping schedules; sleeping late or napping during the day makes sleeping at night harder. Diseases are unlikely to cause insomnia, but some can affect sleep. A disease that causes pain or shortness of breath may make sleep difficultly. Depression and similar problems often interfere with sleep. Clearly, in these cases treating the disease is the best way to restore sound sleep. *insomnia 32.

It is very noticeable in children before they are a year old, and has to be treated with the most tender respect by every parent. The very slightest appearance of favoring one child at the expense of another is instantly observed and resented. The emotion is just as prevalent among adults as among children. I remember when one of our maids, who was a married woman, became pregnant, we told her not to lift heavy weights. The instant result was that none of the other maids would lift heavy weights because they thought we favored the pregnant woman. It was a very obscure sound, and I was completely at a loss to discern its direction. It seemed now to be coming from somewhere around the river s shore outside the village, or from the garden of our house, right outside the door. The strange, secretive sound that stole through the stillness of the night made me shiver down my spine. My consciousness was already rushing to the river s shore, drawn by the mysterious strain of the ghostly sound. It s the whisper of the king snake, my grandmother said. Her words, which fell upon me like a huge, dark shadow, almost made me scream. It s the king snake calling up the snakes. Grandmother s words coiled round my body like a huge snake darting out its forked tongue, and I could hardly breathe. bored scared jealous relieved indifferent 53

54 35. 4 A If you become aware of the steps you must take to do what you want to do, you will start getting closer to what you want to do. And that will start to result in a positive side effect: You start attracting like-minded people. That is true in leadership, but it is also true in every other aspect of life. As my mother used to say,. If you want to be around growing people, become a growing person. If you re committed, you attract others who are committed. If you re growing, you attract others who are growing. This puts you in a position to begin building a community of like-minded people who can help one another succeed.

According to The Book of Lists, 54 percent of adults rate the fear of public speaking ahead of the fear of death. But Toastmasters International had a solution. They created a system based on what psychologists call systematic desensitization. Once a week, at a luncheon or dinner meeting, small groups of Toastmasters come together. Each person is required to stand up and give a short talk on a specified subject in front of a group of his peers. At the end of each talk, the speaker receives applause and comments from the other members. At the end of the evening, each person is given a grade on their talk, even if it was only for thirty or sixty seconds. After six months of attending Toastmasters meetings, the individual will have stood on his feet and spoken twenty-six times, receiving applause and feedback each time. Because of this continuous, his confidence increases dramatically. *desensitization 37. (A)(B) In setting up a budget you must consider both fixed expenses and variable expenses. Fixed expenses may include such things as house payments or rent, real estate taxes, insurance, and installment payments. The word fixed does not necessarily mean that the costs of these expenses do not change. (A), your rent or your real estate taxes may go up. Rather, fixed expenses are fairly stable from month to month in a year s budget plan. (B), variable expenses include such items as food, clothing, utility bills, medical care, recreation, and gifts. These expenses are usually not the same from month to month, and an estimated percentage of one s income is set aside for them.

55 152~ The average washing machine produces nearly 200 pounds of greenhouse gases a year. If you add hot water production, that s another 275 pounds of emissions. Be sure to choose the cold cycle, and you ll reduce the energy needed to wash your clothes by as much as 90 percent. If you re upgrading, buy a front-loading washing machine, which can use 50 percent less energy and 40 to 75 percent less water than a top-loading machine. To prevent a washing machine from smelling bad, try washing an empty load with hot water and a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. Front loaders also use less detergent, and every 3.5 ounces of detergent can generate nearly 3 pounds of greenhouse gases in the manufacturing process Sherbets are a refreshing end to any meal, particularly if the courses have been rich or spicy.

56 [41~42] 4 A Not long ago I was giving a speech, and every time I made a key point, a man in the second row shook his head as one would when saying no. After a while, it became quite distracting. So I called a break and went over to him to ask if he was simply disagreeing or if he felt my points weren t well argued. Oh, no! he said. I m shaking my head because I can t believe how many times I ve done these things incorrectly. On another occasion, a man in the audience caught my attention because every time I looked in his direction, he was nodding his head up and down as if enthusiastically agreeing with me. It was great positive reinforcement for me as a lecturer, and during the break, I made a point of thanking him for his support. Again he nodded in what I assumed to be appreciation, but did not say much. Later I learned from others that he had Parkinson s disease and his nodding was a symptom of his illness not a reflection of my brilliance. In both instances, I the behavior I observed from the podium. Although no great harm was done, I did unnecessarily clutter my mind with guesses as to how I was being received. I urge you not to make the same mistake. Remember that you will always be more professional as a speaker than the people to whom you are speaking are professional as an audience. *podium **clutter Body Language: A Powerful Tool The Lesson I Learned from My Audience My Secret to Becoming an Active Listener Speaking Style: A Fingerprint of a Speaker Different Levels of Listeners Understanding hated imitated encouraged remembered misunderstood 56

Later that year (c) he won his first college tournament by beating future PGA star Phil Mickelson in a play-off. (D) His coach told me, Jeff is a kid with a lot of talent.

61 162~ Jane Jane: May I use the phone here? Did you see my lunch bag? Which classroom should I go to? Where should I hand in my cell phone? Do you know where the school cafeteria is? 23. I recently conducted a sales motivation seminar for an optical lens manufacturing company. There were about 200 salespeople in attendance. I asked members of the audience to raise their hands if they knew who the top two or three producers in the company were. Almost every hand went up. I then asked them to raise their hands if they had ever approached any of these two or three people to ask them what their secrets of success were. Not one hand went up. What a tragedy this is! We all know the people who are successful, but we are afraid to approach them and ask them for information, direction, and guidance. Don t let the fear of rejection stop you from asking. The worst thing that could happen is that they wouldn t tell you. [21~22]

62 5 A Dear Senator Partington: I am writing you about your support for a bill banning deer hunting. You certainly cannot have heard about our problems here on Harte Island. We ve had deer on the island since the 1890s when they were brought over by my great-grandfather. However, neither he nor any subsequent hunter was a particularly good shot. In addition, the herd had extraordinary fecundity. As a result, the last time anyone could grow a garden here without an electric fence was the summer of And even the electric fences stopped being useful in the early 1980s when the deer learned how to turn them off. I urge you to reconsider your position and help us to reduce the number of deer. Very truly yours, Frederick O Brian *fecundity A group of social scientists conducted a study. They generated names of imaginary companies that were either very easy to pronounce or very difficult to pronounce. They told study participants that these were real companies and asked them to estimate the future stock price of each company. Not only did participants predict that the stock price of easily pronounceable companies would outperform the others, but they also predicted that the latter would go down, while the former would rise. The study revealed that people tend to have a greater affection for names that are easy to pronounce than those that are hard to pronounce and that people would feel more positively toward names that are relatively easy to pronounce. *stock 26. When an engine is very cold it s much harder to start your car, and it requires more battery power. But a battery works by chemical reaction, and the lower the temperature, the slower that chemical reaction is. So on a day when the temperature is twenty degrees Fahrenheit, your battery has to work much harder to turn over the engine, but can actually produce only half the electricity it supplies on a moderate day. In other words, if its reserve capacity isn t at least twice its warm weather starting requirement, you don t have a chance to start your car. What s worse, while the battery is doing all this work, it has to supply the power for a very hot spark at the same time! *reserve capacity 62

Once you pick out some forms of exercise that sound fun, get the proper equipment. There s nothing worse than using your daughter s little bike if you want to bicycle. The best way to increase the joy of a sport is to use borrowed equipment. A bowling ball with holes spread too far to match your reach will keep you from being invited into the ladies league. Golfing with your husband s golf clubs will slow up the game.

66 5 A [34~36] 34. What is your most valuable asset in business and in life? What is your most valuable asset as an individual? Just as a company s most valuable asset is its, this is your most valuable asset as well. The way people think and talk about you when you are not there is the most important single determinant of how successful you will be in whatever you do. The most successful business people and salespeople are thought of highly and talked about in complimentary terms by other people when they are not present. What do people think and say about you in your absence? Your ability to influence and shape people s perceptions of you in a positive way is a key to the security of your position and your income in today s competitive world. international trades lead to conflicts your reading skills are getting better prices are set by supply and demand labels teach you the importance of resources your mental maps are becoming more detailed vision passion flexibility reputation confidence 35. Combining information from product labels and packaging with your mental maps represents advanced geographic thinking. You can practice this in stores, at school, and at home by reading the labels and packaging on products to find out where the raw materials used to make them came from and who made them. For example, many computers are manufactured in China from European and Japanese components. They carry a U.S.A. label and are packaged in boxes made in Mexico. Most toys are manufactured in China. Much of our clothing is stitched in Mexico, Central America, or Asia. Many books are printed in Singapore. After much practice, you will find it easier to predict which country names will appear on boxes and labels. This is great evidence that. 36. copies you makes fun of you follows other trends says you are not creative encourages you to follow her style When you express yourself whether it is in how you dress or what you write it makes you feel special and unique. When your friend, it may feel like she is trying to take those feelings away. But she is not. The friend admires you and your style and probably wants to see if it is a fit for her. She is paying you a kind of compliment. Instead of getting angry, encourage her to come up with her own unique style by letting her know what you think is special about her.

67 170~ (A)(B) Some firms have sought success by building a factory and making a product they believe buyers need. (A), these firms frequently fail to attract customers with what they have to offer because they defined their business as making a product rather than as helping potential customers satisfy their needs and wants. For example, when CDs became more popular than vinyl records, turntable manufacturers had an opportunity to develop new products to satisfy customers needs for home entertainment. Companies that did not pursue this opportunity are no longer in business. Such organizations have failed to implement the marketing concept. (B), the growing popularity of MP3 technology has enabled some firms to develop MP3 players to satisfy consumers desire to store customized music libraries. Instead of buying CDs, a consumer can download a song for 99 cents from online music stores. *vinyl record 38. The most noticeable effects of human activity on the weather are to be found in built-up areas. Large cities are usually warmer than the surrounding countryside. This heat island effect interferes with the free exchange of heat and moisture, and greatly affects the wind. During the day, the concrete jungle absorbs heat from the Sun, which it re-radiates slowly later, acting rather like a giant storage heater. The giant heater, however, cools down so rapidly that the temperature in the concrete jungle falls down quickly as well. Cities are thus significantly warmer than surrounding districts, often by as much as 5 degrees centigrade. This is why both fogs and frosts are less frequent in cities.

True, this beast is the most common transportation across a seemingly endless sea of dust and sand, but that s not the reason for the name. ( ) Camels are called ships because they sway back and forth beneath their riders. ( ) To the people with no experience, this endless wobbling can cause nausea, much like the swaying of a boat beneath ocean swells. ( ) Most Arabians mount a camel by bending its neck toward the ground, using it as a foothold, and then swinging up into the saddle. ( ) This demands experience in handling camels as well as acrobatic talent. ( ) And then they must quickly climb onto the beast. *wobbling Willie was the kind of guy who got along with everyone.

A business network is an organized collection of personal contacts that you can rely on when you need help or information. Networking is a technique in which you connect people you know with people they don t know and they do the same for you. I ll show you mine if you show me yours is one of the hidden rules of networking. Your network will help you in some aspect of your promotional campaign. You may meet a person who at the outset may not have a direct fit into your plan, but your intuition tells you this person is worth knowing. That s reason enough to. You do that by not asking, What can they do for me today? The proper network technique to use is the reverse question where you ask, What can I do for this person today?

[21~22] I think that one of the most important responsibilities of the educational system is to teach students how to discuss controversial issues in a free society. How can that happen if school administrators won t even allow certain issues to be mentioned? Some administrators say that they are trying to protect students from inappropriate and controversial subject matter. The fact is, though, that censoring stories in the school newspaper does not protect students from inappropriate information. It just makes that information harder to get. Student editors and writers have a responsibility to discuss issues that their readers are concerned about and need to know. If there is a bully problem in the school, for example, the student newspaper should be able to confront it openly. Not bringing the problem to students attention will not make it go away. It will only make students lose respect for the publication

75 184~ Dear Mr. Pottenger: Every summer we run a series of soccer clinics at our college for coaches of high school soccer teams. When they arrive we like to give each attendee a clipboard or folder that contains the week s agenda. A colleague showed me a catalog featuring your Abundant Series of folders that also act as clipboards. The catalog price was $12 for each folder. We would be ordering at least 75 of these at once. Do you offer a volume discount for bulk orders? I d also be interested in how much the unit price would be on additional orders of 10 or more folders. Please send me the pricing information and any other relevant material. Sincerely, Paul Larson Program Director When a patient in a mental hospital says to you, I want to go home, you don t necessarily take it seriously or try to help her get the paperwork and permissions completed. However, when a college student is talking about going home for the holidays, you feel supportive and offer encouragement. When a manager wants to go home after a long day of work, you know that the trip is short and that he will be back the following day. When a psychologist talks to you about going home mentally to heal childhood wounds, you may begin a new thought process that lasts for years. Meaning doesn t come from words. Meaning depends on who says the words to whom, when, and for what purpose. The more common the word, the more meanings it probably has. 26. What entrepreneurial leaders have in common is a burning desire to build something worthwhile. They have an intense energy that seeks new answers, a drive and dedication that propels them toward their goals. They are not put off by obstacles, competitors, or the doubts of naysayers. In their heart, they know they can achieve their dreams. But such passionate self-confidence is for nothing if the purpose of the enterprise is not worthwhile. When I first began studying entrepreneurship in the 1960s, the catchphrase was, Find a need and fill it. Those words are still the best description of how to dream up enterprises that are likely to succeed. Successful enterprises consistently and continuously serve people and adapt to the changing needs and desires of their customers or clients. *naysayer **entrepreneurship The Key to Successful Entrepreneurship Build Something Worthwhile While Young The Effect of Leadership Style on Enterprises A Burning Desire to Be an Entrepreneurial Leader Self-Confidence: A Quality That Can Be Developed 75

While they can seem somewhat scary, most wild animals are harmless. However, this doesn t mean you should relax your guard around any animal that has entered your home. There s a chance the animal could be ill, and some wild animals can carry diseases that you are better off not being exposed to. Always approach them with. If you see a nocturnal animal a raccoon, opossum, or skunk during the daytime, definitely avoid direct touch. There s a strong chance of these night-time-loving animals being sick or injured. *nocturnal Although he was someone so used to being on the public platform, my client admitted to suffering from constant attacks of nerves. One of the reasons for this became quickly apparent: he was large and heavily overweight, yet he continued to try to squeeze himself into a suit that had obviously fitted him in his leaner youth. This, and the fact that his collar size was an inch or so smaller than his neck, made him look unrelaxed, hot, sweaty and bursting out all over. He could scarcely fasten his jacket and when that button eventually popped open, the shirt beneath it also strained to bursting point over his rather fat figure. I gently pointed out that all this could be solved at a stroke by. gaining some weight practicing his speech buying a much larger suit repeating breathing in and out choosing a much thicker jacket 79

Even in a close relationship the same simple act can be viewed differently. A man will see taking out the trash as a duty, while his wife, because she finds it distasteful, will perceive it as a small act of love. Try to cultivate a more mindful attitude, make new categories and connections, appreciate that your views might be prejudices. Most importantly, make sure that the perceptions you do retain or adopt. Otherwise, any actions you take based on your beliefs will be on shaky ground. are focused on your group s goals are a prerequisite for close relationships will be your absolute criterion of action have a positive effect on your performance are grounded in verifiable fact, can be tested Dr. Urie Bronfenbrenner, an authority on child development, was asked during a U.S. Senate hearing to indicate the most critical years in a child s development. He knew the senators expected him to emphasize the importance of preschool experience. (A), Bronfenbrenner said he had never been able to validate that assumption. He agreed that the preschool years are vital, but so is every other phase of childhood. In fact, he told the Senate committee that the middle school years are probably the most critical to the development of a child s mental health. It is during this period of self-doubt that the personality is often assaulted and damaged beyond repair. (B), Bronfenbrenner said, it is not unusual for students to enter middle school as happy, healthy children and then emerge about two years later as broken and discouraged teenagers.

81 191~ Going over a piece of information several times does increase the likelihood of remembering it. The major problem with this technique is that it doesn t require you to understand what you are learning. If the memorized information is not well understood, it will not become connected to existing knowledge (concepts) and, therefore, will be harder to get back later on. This explains why material memorized by rote is often forgotten if it is not rehearsed frequently. Although it doesn t lead to a full understanding, the rote-learning can help students learn language rules. The perfect example is a student who crams information just before an exam, but doesn t remember much of it a few months later. watercourse.

82 [41~42] 6 A An age-old Zen story tells of the professor who considered himself an expert on all subjects, from history to mathematics. Yet because he knew nothing about Zen, he decided to add that to his scholarly repertoire. One day he went to visit Nan-in, a Zen master who lived in a small cottage just outside the town. The master invited him in and, as was the custom, served tea. He filled the professor s cup to the top, and then kept pouring. The tea overflowed the cup, poured onto the table, and trickled to the floor. The professor watched until he could no longer hold back. The cup is full! No more will go in! Exactly! said Nan-in. Your mind is like this cup. It is so full of your ideas and opinions that there is no room for me to show you Zen! I found in my interviews with vital, growing people that all of them are passionately curious, full of childlike excitement, delight, and wonder. Their mental antennae continually rotate listening, searching, discovering new mysteries of life. Rich, my friend and a professor, said, I ve read enough of the great thinkers to know they re all grappling with truth, and no one has found the answer. So it s all a journey. People like that don t get old. They keep right on as long as they live. *Zen **grapple with Face Your Fear with Confidence Be Satisfied with What You Have Knowledge: The Base for Your Growth Don t Give Up Your Childhood Dreams To Develop, You Must Be Open-Minded hiding their secrets learning and growing avoiding and denying sticking to their opinions letting their cups overflow 82
