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.

(A)(B)(C) There is an ice cream shop near my residence. The people working at the ice cream shop (A) is / are in their early twenties. The ice cream is great but the servers talk a whole lot among themselves while they re serving customers. One night, as a young lady was scooping up my ice cream, she was in the middle of a conversation with her co-worker, who was doing nothing. It took her longer to fill up my ice cream cup because she was busy talking instead of focusing on serving me. After having a few similar negative experiences, I just stopped (B) going / to go.

He tried everything punishments and rewards and nothing (B) worked / failed. Why? In all the years I knew him, I can t recall this doctor ever getting anywhere on time himself.

I I was tempted to go and sleep on the floor by Grandpa and Grandma Tiny. I lay quietly for a while, gathering up my courage. Just when I was about to run fast to them, I spied a tall, thin, ghostly white figure drifting into the room. I threw the covers back over my head. My heart was beating fast like a mouse before a cat. I heard the rocking chair creak back and forth, back and forth. Then I heard that funny snip, snip, rustle, rustle sound. I was frightened. After a while, all was quiet again. I gave up on the idea of going into Grandpa and Grandma Tiny s room.

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

29 112~ (A)(B) Usually after I give out a detention slip, the student will try very hard to behave, and rarely will anyone get four slips. 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. Unfortunately, your memory and your mental powers fade and decline as you get older. Similarly, Americans who had a positive outlook on age performed better than Americans who had a negative outlook. *connotation *detention (A) (B) For example therefore In addition however For example however In addition similarly As a result therefore 39. While it was a challenge for Corinne, she made the effort to make eye contact with her audience. 38. 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

30 2 A 40. If you look around you, you can find a place where help is needed. One morning Joe, the owner of a small auto repair shop in Vermont, was talking with friends at the local coffee shop. (A) One of his buddies told about a young mother trying desperately to get off welfare. 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. Joe found a need and filled it. (C) But because there was no public transportation in that area, she had no way to get to an interview or to work, for she had no car. *steer (A)(C)(B) (B)(C)(A) (C)(B)(A) (B)(A)(C) (C)(A)(B) Looking as clean as you can under the circumstances, walk into the interview and announce: A funny thing happened to me on my way down here. Narrate the incident, then conclude: I apologize for my appearance, but this meeting is important to me, and I didn t want to postpone it or cause you the inconvenience of rescheduling. I hope you ll bear with me. This was a good-looking suit, up until a few minutes ago! Handled this way, the incident won t make you look foolish. The interviewers will be treated to your healthy sense of humor, your unflappable nature, your ability to put matters into their proper proportion, and your professionalism: nothing could stop you from. 41. *venue **unflappable Crisis Brings Opportunities Misfortunes Never Come Singly Dress Yourself Up for Your Interview!

A car speeds around the corner, tires churn into a mud puddle, and you are splattered head to foot. What do you do? Let s face it. There s no way that this is a desirable event. However, you can turn this disaster to your advantage. If possible, duck into a restaurant or other place that has a public restroom, and tidy up as best you can, particularly your face and hands, if they were splashed. If you can t find a place to do this, try to find a public washroom at the interview venue. You might explain to the receptionist what happened to you and secure from her a key to a washroom. 42. setting realistic goals getting to this interview causing the same problem putting off the appointment running a successful business 30

He was convinced that Emile Boulanger, a man he d met for routine questioning, was a German spy and not the Belgian farmer (a) he claimed to be. 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. Once again, Boulanger didn t react in any way to suggest that he d understood a word. By now Pinto was beginning to doubt (b) his own instincts. Had he made a mistake? Was Boulanger really just the Belgian farmer he claimed to be? *interrogation (C) The following day, Boulanger was taken to Pinto s office. There Pinto signed some papers and told Boulanger that he was free to go. Boulanger sighed with relief and turned to leave. Only then did he realize his terrible, stupid mistake. Pinto had spoken to him IN GERMAN. (c) His cover was blown. (D) Boulanger was put in a cell and, when (d) he was asleep, smoke was blown under his door and soldiers shouted, Feuer! (German for fire ). Boulanger ignored the cries, other than rolling over, until someone shouted, Fire! in French. Then he leaped up.
