That day, I awoke tiredthe children were tiny and needing so muchand I had a golden afternoon of rest ahead, my mother stepping in to allow me to catch up on my sleep. I dropped them off and drove homethe sun shini
11、ng and my bed signaling. As I was about to enter the house, I caught sight of a deep crack beneath my feet.Without thinking, I turned around, walked back to the car and drove to a DIY store. Four hours later, I had all the tools, mixed my own cement, filled in the crack and repaired the foundation.
12、Perfect. As I stood up to take a photo of my handiwork, I realized that I was trembling. Id forgotten my shot at a nice long nap, and my children were already on their way home. That sleep. that promise to self was broken, because I had focused, instead, on the crack in the step.Suddenly, everything
13、 started to hurt. My head, my throat, my back. I couldnt stop shaking. What earned then is that when we break the promises we make to our bodies they will not be silenced. This is when we overwork and overthink to the point of breaking down. Ironically (讽刺地), for many of us, it is only when we have
14、no choice when we fall illthat we learn to listen. For me, when that crack ended in a hospital stay which sent me to bed for two unmoving weeks when my body worked to clear two different infections, the lesson is ever present. I did it to myselfa whole twisted spin on DIY.Sadly it took another two r

To encourage focusing on oneself.CI used to think the whole purpose of life was pursuing happiness. Everyone sa
18、id the path to happiness was success, so I searched for that ideal job, that perfect boyfriend, and that beautiful apartment. But instead of ever feeling fulfilled, I felt anxious and lost. Eventually. I decided to go to graduate school for positive psychology to learn what truly makes people happy.
19、And whats the difference between being happy and having meaning in life? Many psychologists describe happiness as a state of comfort and ease, feeling good in the moment. Meaning, though, is deeper. The famous psychologist Martin Seligman says meaning comes from belonging to and serving something be
20、yond yourself and from developing the best within you. Our culture is obsessed with happiness, but I came to see that seeking meaning is the more fulfilling path.There are four pillars of a meaningful life.The first pillar is belonging. Belonging comes from being in relationships where youre valued
21、for who you are and where you value others as well. For many people, belonging is the most essential source of meaning.For others, the key to meaning is the second pillar: purpose. Finding your purpose is not the same thing as finding that job that makes you happy. A doctor told me her purpose is he
22、aling sick people. Many parents tell me, “My purpose is raising my children.” The key to purpose is using your strengths to serve others. Without something worthwhile to do, people flounder, thus losing the aim of life.The third pillar of meaning is also about stepping beyond yourself, but in a comp
23、letely different way: transcendence (超然). Transcendent experiences can change you. Transcendent states are those rare moments when youre lifted above the hustle and bustle of daily life, your sense of self fades away, and you feel connected to a higher reality. For me, Im a writer, and it happens th
24、rough writing. Sometimes I get so in the zone that I lose all sense of time and place.The fourth pillar is storytelling, the story you tell yourself about yourself. Creating a narrative from the events of your life brings clarity. It helps you understand how you became you. But we dont always realiz
25、e that were the authors of our stories and can change the way were telling them. Your life isnt just a list of events. You can edit, interpret and retell your story, even as youre constrained by the facts.Thats the power of meaning. Happiness comes and goes. But when life is really good and when thi

In their educational backg
29、round, special skills and work experience, there is little, if anything, to choose between half a dozen candidates. How then does the employer make a choice? Usually on the basis of an interview.There are many arguments about the interview as a selection procedure. One argument is that it gives rise
30、 to a wholly subjective decision. As often as not, employers do not choose the best candidate, but the one who makes a good first impression on them. Some employers, of course, reply to this argument by saying that they have become so experienced in interviewing staff that they are able to make a so
31、und assessment of each candidates likely performance. Unfortunately, both for the employers and applicants, there are many people of great ability who simply do not interview well. There are also, of course, people who interview extremely well, but are later found to be very unsatisfactory employees
32、.Those in favour of the interview insist that the well-structured procedure is valid in assessing a candidates ability, an essential guarantee for the future job. They also argue that an employer is concerned not only with a candidates ability, but with the suitability of his or her personality for
33、the particular work situation. Many employers, for example, will overlook occasional inefficiencies from their secretary so long as she has a pleasant personality. Perhaps the real purpose of an interview is not to assess the assessable aspects of each candidate but to make a guess at the more intan
34、gible things, such as personality and social ability. Today, interview is still a common section of the entire selection procedure, though different employers have different standards for competence. Generally speaking, candidates who interview well tend to be quietly confident, but never boastful;
35、direct and straight-forward in their questions and answers; cheerful and friendly, but never over-familiar; and sincerely enthusiastic and optimistic. Candidates who interview badly tend to be at either end of the spectrum of human behaviour. They are either very shy or over-confident. They show eit
36、her a lack of enthusiasm or an excess of it. They either talk too little or never stop talking. They are either over-polite or rudely abrupt. 12. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Employers are experienced in assessing the interviewees performance.B. Interview i
37、s not always recognized as a sensible way to choose employees. C. The interview helps the employers to pick the desired employees.D. The remarkable candidates often distinguish themselves in an interview.13. Which may not be considered in an interview?A. Personality B. Communication skills C. Backgr
38、ound D. Capability14. What is the authors attitude towards the interview as a selection procedure?A. SupportiveB. Negative C. ObjectiveD. Unconcerned15.
