根据下面资料，回答题 Human growth is a process of experimentation, trial, and error eventually leading to wisdom. Each time you choose to trust yourself and take action, you can never quite be certain how the situation will 16 . Sometimes you are victorious, and sometimes you become disappointed. The 17 experiments, however, are no less valuable than the experiments that finally prove successful; in fact, you 18 learn more from your "failures" than you do from your 19 . If you have made what you think to be a mistake or failed to live up to your own 20 , you will most likely put up a barrier between your essence and the part of you that is the alleged wrong-doer. However, viewing past actions as 21 implies guilt and blame, and it is not possible to learn anything meaningful while you are engaged in blaming. 22 , forgiveness is required when you are severely judging yourself. Forgiveness is the act of erasing an 23 debt. There are four kinds of forgiveness. The first is beginner forgiveness for yourself. The second of forgiveness is beginner forgiveness for another. The third kind of forgiveness is 24 forgiveness of yourself. This is for serious misbehaviors, the ones you carry with deep 25 . When you do something that violates your own values and principles, you create a gap between your standards and your actual 26 . In such a case, you need to work very hard at 27 yourself for these deeds so that you can close this gap. This does not 28 that you should rush to forgive yourself or shouldn′t feel regret, 29 taking pleasure in these feelings for a prolonged period of time is not healthy. The 30 and perhaps most difficult one is the advanced forgiveness of another. At some time of our life, you may have been severely wronged or hurt by another person to such a degree that forgiveness seems 31 . However, harboring anger and revenge fantasies only keeps you 32 in victimhood. Under such a circumstance, you should force yourself to see the bigger picture. By so doing, you will be able to 33 the focus away from the anger and resentment. It is only through forgiveness that you can erase wrongdoing and 34 the memory. When you can 35 release the situation, you may come to see it as a necessary part of your growth. A.turn upB..turn outC.break outD.break up
共用题干Parkinson's Disease1 Parkinson's disease affects the way you move.It happens when there is a problem with certain nerve cells in the brain. Normally , these nerve cells make an important chemical called dopamine（多巴胺）. Dopa-mine sends signals to the part of your brain that controls movement.It lets your muscles move smoothly and do what you want them to do.When you have Parkinson's,these nerve cells break down.Then you no longerhave enough dopamine,and you have trouble moving the way you want to.2 No one knows for sure what makes these nerve cells break down.But scientists are doing a lot of re-search to look for the answer. They are studying many possible causes,including aging and poisons in the en- vironment.Abnormal genes seem to lead to Parkinson's disease in some people.But so far,there is not enough proof to show that it is always inherited.3 Tremor（颤抖）may be the first symptom you notice.It is one of the most common signs of the disease,although not everyone has it.Tremor often starts in just one arm or leg or only on one side of the body.It may be worse when you are awake but not moving the affected arm or leg. It may get better when you move the limb or when you are asleep.In time,Parkinson's affects muscles all through your body,so it can lead to problems like trouble swallowing or constipation（便秘）.In the later stages of the disease , a person with Parkinson's may have a fixed or blank expression,trouble speaking,and other problems.Some people also have a decrease in mental skills.4 At this time,there is no cure for Parkinson's disease.But there are several types of medicines that can control the symptoms and make the disease easier to live with.You may not even need treatment if your symptoms are mild.Your doctor may wait to prescribe medicines until your symptoms start to get in the way of your daily life.Your doctor will adjust your medicines as your symptoms get worse.You may need to take several medicines to get the best results.You'll find it hard to move the way you want to__________.A:what affects muscles all through your bodyB:if there isn't enough dopamine in your bodyC:which cannot be cured yetD:which may be the first symptom you noticeE:if you have a fixed or blank expression F: what causes Parkinson's disease

Five Ways to Show Emotional Intelligence In a Job Interview The World Economic Forum,in its Future of Job Report,has indicated that Emotional Intelligence will be number six of the top ten job skills required by 2020.Awareness of this in organizations has greatly increased interest in hiring people with high emotional intelligence as well as boosting emotional intelligence amongst existing staff.Here are five ways to demonstrate emotional intelligence in a job interview:41.Take a cue from professional athletes when they are interviewed after a win or achievement.They always credit their team mates,their team,rather than taking personal accolades.When asked about a project that you are proud of,or that was successful!be sure to share credit with the team,unit and others that were involved in the project.Make it clear that you are proud to be a member of the group that was involved in the success.This gives more credibility to you being a team player than if you simply claim that you are;which everyone does.42.The typical answer that we were told in the past was to talk about something that is actually a strength.For example,claiming to be a perfectionist,or becoming too involved in your job,which can be seen as strengths by an employer.These answers do not cut it anymore,as interviewers are looking for something more substantial.When disclosing a flaw,be sure to indicate what you are actively doing to work on this and give examples of making progress.Interviewers know that we all have weaknesses and suspect that we may try to hide those in the interview.As long as your shortcoming does not raise any red flags,being honest,open and genuine will help gain their trust and respect.43 For this question,raiher than only focusing on your qualifications or technical ability,talk about your ability ro work well wiih others in a teamwork setting.Your ability to adapt to change,setbacks and work well with co-workers and customers is important to bring up.Instead of simply mentioning these things,be prepared to come up with examples of when you had to use those skills.Perhaps there was conflict within your unit,or you had to deal with a furious customer.Talk about how you used your soft skills to effectively deal with these situations.44.The worst thing you can do in this case is to blame others for the situation.State what happened but avoid casting blame.What the interviewer wants to know is how you reacted and if you did anything to improve the situation.ir asked what your part in it was,be prepared to accept your share of the responsibility but speak in terms of what you would've done differently looking back on the situation.Interviewers expect people to make mistakes,but wam to know if you are someone who learns from their mistakes and takes away the lesson.45.At the end of an interview,we are typically asked if we have any questions.Ask questions about the culture,values of an organization and what it takes for people to be successful in it.Bring up any positive experiences with people in their organization or their customers you have had in the past and your observations.It will show that you are not only interested in a job but are looking to see how you will fit into the company,42选？A.Are You a Team Player?B.What Did You Do When Things Went Off the Rails?C.What Are You Most Proud Of?D.What Are Your Strengths?E.What Questions Do You Have For Me?F.What Are Your Weaknesses?G.How Would You Deal With a Furious Customer?
资料：Changing careers is becoming more popular. Not just because there are more career options available, but also out of necessity. As new industries arise, others die.

But, you must also convey the excitement and sincere desire you have for this new career （i.e., you want to make a difference or work on a particular type of problem that needs to be solved）.2. Build a marketing campaign for your business-of-one.Most employers prefer to hire people with previous experience. Thus, you're going to need a way to convey to them your transferable skills from your former career path will be equally valuable. The best way to do this is to create a targeted list of employers you want to work for and then strategically network with their employees.

共用题干第三篇Look After Your VoiceOften speakers at a meeting experience dry mouths and ask for a glass of water. You can solve the problem by activating the saliva in you mouth.First gently bite the edges of your tongue with your teeth.Or press your entire tongue to the bottom of your mouth and hold it there until the saliva flow.Or you can imagine that you are slicing a big juicy lemon and sucking the juice.Before you begin your talk,be kind to your voice.Avoid milk or creamy drinks which coat your throat.Keep your throat wet by drinking a little sweetened warm tea or diluted fruit juice.If you sense that your are losing your voice,stop talking completely.Save your voice for your speech. You may feel foolish using paper to write notes,but the best thing you can do is to rest your voice.If you need to see a doctor,perhaps you can get some advice from a professional singer. In the meantime,do not even talk in a low voice.What about drinking alcohol to wet your throat?I advice you not to touch alcohol before speaking. The problem with alcohol is that one drink gives you a little confidence.The second drink gives you even more confidence.Finally you will feel all-powerful and you will feel you can do everything,but in fact your brain and your mouth do not work together properly.Save the alcohol until after you finish speaking.Perhaps you want to accept the advice,but you may wonder if you can ever change the habits of a life- time.Of course you can.Goethe,who lived before indoor skating rinks or swimming pools,said,"We learn to skate in the summer and swim in the winter."Take this message to heart and give yourself time to develop your new habits.If you are willing to change,you will soon be able to say that you will never forget these techniques because they became a part of your body.What did Goethe say about skating and swimming?A:He said people could learn to skate when it was hot and swim when it was cold.B:He said people could learn to skate and swim when it was hot.C:He said people could learn to skate and swim when it was cold.D:He said people could learn to skate when it was cold and swim when it was hot.
