It is the season for taking the time to reflect on what we're thankful for in life. Spending that time with friends and family to give thanks is what makes the holidays so special. But why should limit it to just a few weeks in the year？ Gratitude（感恩）is a muscle we should strengthen year-round to make us healthier， happier humans and leaders. Gratitude builds empathy. We often take for granted the simple things in life. Those who recognize the goodness in life， no matter how simple or automatic， are more likely to be sensitive to the needs of others and to help whenever they can. Being empathetic to others' opinions， experiences and backgrounds will make you a better professional， no matter your career. Through his research， Emmons， a leading researcher， found that grateful people reported feeling healthier， both mentally and physically. Specifically， those who were grateful were 25 percent happier than those who weren't. In the workplace， well-being（健康快乐）is a crucial topic when it comes to preventing employee burn-out and promoting engagement. Beyond the research that shows that employees who are shown that they are appreciated are more productive by 50 percent， caring for your employees' well-being is simply the right thing to do. Offering fitness classes or carrying out flexible work schedules are just a few things that， when paired with gratitude， can lead to more productive， engaged and happier working professionals. Working in a developing， fast-paced industry， we are often surrounded by ambitious people who are always striving（奋斗）for more and better. Gratitude makes us more self-aware. It challenges us to reflect in the moment instead of always thinking about the future. It starts by paying attention to what's going on in our life， and that true self-awareness is a key factor to being successful in our career. Gratitude is a powerful tool for making relationships stronger， both at work and in our personal life. People who express their gratitude tend to be more willing to forgive others and therefore able to create relatively long-lasting connections. During my month-long vacation， I made it a point to be reflective during the time I had without disturbances or deadlines. Part of that was making a mental list of the people， things and experiences I was grateful for in my life. I decided to reach out to my fifth-grade teacher and thank her for being positive instructor and a strong influence on my life. The old saying goes "It's never too late to say you're sorry，" but the same is true of gratitude. Taking the time to thank people for their work， kindness or empathy-whether it was today， last month or many years ago-makes you happier， healthier and more self-aware. And that's a gift worth celebrating 365 days a year.（1）What does the underlined word "empathy" in Paragraph 2 probably mean？ ____ A.The feeling of being sorry for others' problems.B.The desire to help people in difficult situations.C.The ability to understand other people's feelings.D.The feeling of pleasure or satisfaction towards others.（2）What can be inferred from the passage？ ____ A.People who have self-awareness can succeed without effort.B.Grateful people will live a much longer life than ungrateful people.C.Wise enterprises should raise the employees' sense of well-being.D.Gratitude can ensure the relationship between people is unbreakable.（3）Why does the author mention his own experience in Paragraph 6？ ____ A.To encourage people to contact with teachers.B.To show it's never too late to express gratitude.C.To order people to keep long-lasting connection.D. To present that his teacher greatly influenced him.（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？ ____ A. Being Grateful Year-Round.B. The Season for Gratitude.C. The Way to Show Thanks.D. The Special Holiday of Gratitude.

In the past, falling oil prices have given a boost to the world economy, but recent forecasts for global growth have been toned down, even as oil prices sink lower and lower. Does that mean the link between lower oil prices and growth has weakened?Some experts say there are still good reasons to believe cheap oil should heat up the world economy. Consumers have more money in their pockets when they're paying less at the pump. They spend that money on other things, which stimulates the economy.The biggest gains go to countries that import most of their oil like China. Japan. and India. But doesn't the extra money in the pockets of those countries' consumers mean an equal loss in oil—producing countries, cancelling out the gains? Not necessarily, says economic researcher Sara Johnson. "Many oil producers built up huge reserve funds when prices were high, so when prices fall they will draw on their reserves to support government spending and subsidies （补贴） for their consumers.But not all oil producers have big reserves. In Venezuela, collapsing oil prices have sent its economy into free—fall.Economist Carl Weinberg believes the negative effects of plunging oil prices are overwhelming the positive effects of cheaper oil. The implication is a sharp decline in global trade, which has plunged partly because oil—producing nations can't afford to import as much as they used to.Sara Johnson acknowledges that the global economic benefit from a fall in oil prices today is likely lower than it was in the past. One reason is that more countries are big oil producers now, so the nations suffering from the price drop account for a larger share of the global economy.Consumers, in the U.S. at least, are acting cautiously with the savings they're getting at the gas pump, as the memory of the recent great recession is still fresh in their mind. And a number of oil—producing countries are trimming their gasoline subsidies and raising taxes, so the net savings for global consumers is not as big as the oil price plunge might suggest.What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?A.The reasons behind the plunge of oil prices.B.Possible ways to stimulate the global economy.C.The impact of cheap oil on global economic growth.D.The effect of falling oil prices on consumer spending.Why do some experts believe cheap oil will stimulate the global economy?A.Manufacturers can produce consumer goods at a much lower cost.B.Lower oil prices have always given a big boost to the global economy.C.Oil prices may rise or fall but economic laws are not subject to change.D.Consumers will spend their savings from cheap oil on other commodities.What happens in many oil-exporting countries when oil prices go down?A.They suspend import of necessities from overseas.B.They reduce production drastically to boost oil prices.C.They use their money reserves to back up consumption.D.They try to stop their economy from going into free-fall.How does Carl Weinberg view the current oil price plunge?A.It is one that has seen no parallel in economic history.B.Its negative effects more than cancel out its positive effects.C.It still has a chance to give rise to a boom in the global economy.D.Its effects on the global economy go against existing economic laws.Why haven't falling oil prices boosted the global economy as they did before?A.People are not spending all the money they save on gas.B.The global economy is likely to undergo another recession.C.Oil importers account for a larger portion of the global economy.D.People the world over are afraid of a further plunge in oil prices..

Aging brings wrinkles, unattractive bodies and frustrating forgetfulness. But getting older is not all bad for many people. Mounting evidence suggests aging may be a key to happiness. There is conflicting research on the subject, however, and experts say it may all boil down to this: Attitude is everything.Older adults tend to be more optimistic and to have a positive outlook on life than those younger, stressed ones, research is finding. According to this research, older adults remember the past through a rosy lens, and it's also becoming apparent to researchers that being old could lend itself to optimism. Aging can bring more cheer as people become more comfortable with themselves and their role in society, according to another study published in 1989.But others, who are doubtful about the link between happiness and growing older, believe that those in old age are happiest is misleading since older people have lower income than younger, are less healthy, and more likely to be living alone. In fact, scientists have found that as people age, their health declines and social networks narrow down (as peers die), which can make the elderly less happy.Even if one must admit age's dark side, health and happiness don't always go hand-in-hand. It's all about attitude. Attitude about life, and thus46. What does "through a rosy lens" (Para. 2) mean?A. In a passive way.B. In an optimistic way.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
