CIs there someone you hate? Well, maybe you don’t really hate them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦).Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive (原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing (指责) him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves.Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long.If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it.l Accept itInstead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.l Stop making excuses for itYou may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.l Forgive and forget itYou probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind.66. According to the passage, we might get angry when someone __________.A. holds us back B. forgets us C. doesn’t like us D. does hurt us

SUCCESSFUL TEAM WORK AND TEAM BUILDING Team building skills are critical for your effectiveness as a manager or entrepreneur. And even if you are not in a management or leadership role yet, better understanding of team work can make you a more effective employee and give you an extra edge in your corporate office. Team building success is when your team can accomplish something much bigger and work more effectively than a group of the same individuals working on their own. There are two critical factors in building a high performance team. The first factor in team effectiveness is the diversity of skills and personalities. It means people use their strengths in full, but can compensate for each other's weaknesses. Or, different personality types balance and complement each other. The other critical element of team work success is that all the team efforts are directed towards the same clear goals, the team goals. This relies heavily on good communication in the team and harmony in member relationships. In real life, team work success rarely happens by itself if there are no focused team building efforts or activities. There is simply too much room for problems. For example, different personalities may build up conflicts. Or even worse, some people with similar personalities may start fighting for authority and dominance in certain areas of expertise. Even if the team goals are clear and accepted by everyone, there may be no team commitment to the group goals, or no consensus on the means of achieving those goals. There may be a lack of trust and openness which may block the critical communication and lead to loss of coordination in the individual efforts. This is why every team needs a good leader who is able to deal with all team work issues.1. Team building skills are not so critical if you are only an employee.()2. To form. a high performance team, you need many important factors.()3. A good team should have a diversity of personalities.()4. Team work success is quite common in practice.()5. To solve all the problems, you need a capable leader.()
TEAM SPIRIT Team spirit can make or break a team. Teammates who have team spirit are better able to work together and achieve team goals. They are also more satisfied with their team activities. John Wooden, a former basketball coach at UCLA, said, “Team spirit means you are willing to sacrifice personal considerations for the welfare of all. That defines a team player.” There are certain skills team members develop that serve as good examples of team spirit. COOPERATION Cooperating is simply working together as teammates for the good of the team. Cooperation is a skill that team members can sharpen during practice. For example, basketball players must practice passing the ball in different plays and situations. Team efficiency is directly related to the cooperation of its members. Acting cooperatively is a good way to show team spirit because doing so contributes to the overall success of the team. MOTIVATION Team members must fulfil their duties with their full efforts. Staying motivated shows team spirit because it shows that you want the team to do well. This includes being motivated to give your best in practice and in competition, as well as outside of team activities. For example, a baseball player can show team spirit by being motivated to practice his swing outside of practice. RESPECT Respect for your fellow team members is a must. You can show respect to your teammates by treating everyone fairly and equally. Teammates also respect each other by allowing everyone to participate. Respecting fellow teammates keeps everyone in a good mood and encourages overall team spirit. For example, people can show team spirit through respect by encouraging other team members who might be struggling.1. Teammates who have team spirit ().A. can break a teamB. are better able to work together and achieve team goalsC. are less satisfied with their team activities2. According to the article, team spirit means ().A. cooperation and motivationB. motivation and respectC. cooperation, motivation and respect3. Cooperation is a skill that ().A. can be sharpened during practiceB. is born withC. everyone should have4. Being motivated means ().A. you should compete with othersB. you should practice swing outside of practiceC. you should give your best in any circumstances5. Respecting your teammates ().A. can treat everyone fairly and equallyB. can keep everyone in a good moodC. can discourage overall team spirit

(英译汉)There is no separation for you between work and home.Even when at home, your work is the top priority.You are totally committed and driven to work, and your happiness is found in your work.Work always seems to take precedence over family and leisure time.You have no social life other than work-related events.
There is no creature that does not need sleep or complete rest every day.If you want to know why,just try going without sleep for a long period of time.You will discover that your mind and body would become too tired to work properly.You would become irritable and find it hard to think clearly or concentrate on your work.So sleep is quite simply the time when the ceils of?your body recover from the work of the day and build up supplies of energy for the next period of activity.One of the things we all know about sleep is that we are Unconscious in sleep,We do not know what is going on around us.But that do.esn′t mean the body stops all activity.The important organs continue to work during sleep,but most of the body functions are slowed down.For example,our breathing becomes slower and deeper.The heart beats more slowly,and the blood pressure is lower.Our arms and legs become limp(柔软的)and muscles are at rest.It would be impossible for our body to relax to such an extent if we were awake.So sleep does for us what the?most quiet rest can not do.Your body temperature becomes lower when you are asleep,which is the reason people go to sleep under some kind of covers.And even though you are unconscious,many of your reflexes(反射动作)still work.For instance,if someone tickles(使觉得痒)your foot,you will put it away in your sleep,or even brush a fly from your forehead.You do these things without knowing it.When you are sleeping,A.all of you reflexes stop workingB.most of your reflexes stop workingC.many of your reflexes still workD.all of your reflexes still work

单选题Good Communication for Making Friends As a communication skills trainer, I've met a wide range of people. Some people have trouble associating with others and have difficulty making friends. So I would like to discuss two key points to making good friends. The first is to show respect and love for your friends through your words. Try to say things to others that would feel good to you if you heard them. For example, say things like, "Thanks for the great time" and "It was really nice to get to know you."If you are not good at speaking, then smiling and using body language to express your sincerity is also an effective way to communicate. Additionally, I recommend that when you meet someone new send them an e-mail or letter before the day is over to express how nice it was to meet them. The goal of good communication is to reach another person's heart and form a comfortable relationship. It is, therefore, based the premise that you get rid of your worries and become a bright and positive person. When there is static noise over the phone line, you can't hear the other person clearly, right? In the same way, when your mind is full of worries and you try to communicate with another person, you cannot give or receive messages accurately. For example, let's say you are still tied to a past wound of being betrayed by a friend and feeling hurts .Even if you meet someone new and he or she tells you, "Let's be good friends," you may not be able to accept it because you will hear a negative inner voice saying something like "I might be betrayed again" or "the person might have a hidden agenda."With this worry in your mind, you will not be able to make friends. If you can be refreshed and get rid of your worries, you should be able to sense others' thoughts and feelings without prejudice and build a relationship of trust. If you really can't let go of your painful past experience, then try to change your perspective on the experience. For example, try to think that it was a necessary lesson for you to understand others' pain. If you can think of the positive intention behind the event, then you will be able to view the experience favourably and feel better.The example in paragraph 2 is intended to show that（ ）Athe goal of good communication is to reach another person's heartBthe goal of good communication is to form a comfortable relationshipCgood communication is based on the premise that you get rid of your worries and become a bright and positive personDit does take time for someone to forget all about the painful past
