While this has always been true for men, m
10、any women in the workplace have felt the need to try twice as hard as their male colleagues and do twice as much to get just as far and to prove their worth. Sometimes when we think about asking for help, our inner voices tell us, “See, if you admit you cant do this on your own, theyll see you for t
11、he imposter （骗子）you really are.”But the fact is, even though individualism is on the rise, we cant do everything by ourselves and we shouldnt try.Apple founder Steve Jobs once told the Santa Clara Valley Historical Association about the power of asking for help, and how he “never found anybody who d
12、idnt want to help me when I asked them for help”.

16、something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to hold two funerals（葬礼）on successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died “full of years”, as the Bible would say. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid
17、 condolence（吊唁）calls on the two families on the same afternoon.At the first home, the son of the deceased（已故的）woman said to me, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow , she would be alive today. Its my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son of th
18、e other deceased woman said, “If only I hadnt insisted on my mothers going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the sudden change of climate, was more than she could take. Its my fault that shes dead.” You see that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty.
19、Because the course of action they took turned out badly, they believe that the opposite course keeping Mother at home, putting off the operation would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?There seem to be two elements involved in our willingness to feel guilty. T
20、he first is our pressing need to believe that _, and that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.The second element is the view that we are the caus
21、e of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood.A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that
22、he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that childish view that our w

26、nding.CNever feel guilty all the time because not every disaster is our fault.DIn general, the survivors will feel guilty about the people who passed away .DTraditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) has been greatly contributing to the treatment of the COVID-19, which changed the attitude of the western wor
27、ld to it to some extent. However, in the past, foreigners knew little about it. According to a government report, although TCM has been introduced into 183 countries and regions around the world, their understanding of TCM may be limited to acupuncture（针灸）, cupping and massage（按摩）. For instance, the
28、 purple, injury-like marks left on a U. S. famous swimmers back from cupping to relax his muscles and reduce pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016.In fact, Chinese herbs（药草）play a more important role in curing diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM t
29、reatment system than physical treatment. Therefore, it is disappointing to know that although 103 world Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM is much less popular than Western medicine partly due to th
30、e slow development of Chinese herbs.Herbs can be made into pills, powder and soup. The kind of herbs used, their quality, quantity and the processing together determine the effectiveness of the prescription （处方）. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and tr
31、eatment methods, TCM lacks standardization. The chemical composition and functions of its medicine are still unclear and their effects are unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades and a number of factories are increasingly producing patented（专利的）TCM drugs.Another reason
32、why TCM prescription drugs have developed slowly is that it lacks creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicine according to prescriptions handed down from the past. That Chinese chemist Tu Yoyo won the 2015 Nobel P
33、rize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria（痢疾）treatment may drive creativity to some extent in Chinas TCM industry.However, Rome was not built in a day. The current situation cannot be changed within a short time.32Why did the US swimmer attract the audiences attention in the 2016

37、red? 36 Thanks to advances in technology, how we make friends and communicate with them has changed significantly. Nowadays, we can move around the world and still stay in touch with the people that we want to remain friends with. Social media tools let us see what our friends are up to and maintain
38、 friendships. 37. The digital age also enables us to find people who share our interests, such as collecting model cars or playing an unusual instrument. Whatever our hobbies, the Internet can connect us with others who also enjoy doing them, even if they live on the other side of the world. But whe
39、n you “friend” people online, does this mean that they really are your friends?38. If people always exchange true personal information online, then yes, these friendships can be real and meaningful. But we need to keep in mind that what we see on social media is often not the whole truth about a per
40、son. On social media sites, people tend to post only positive updates that make them appear happy and friendly. But smiling photos can hide real problems. 39 A young person could be old; a woman could be a man; we could even be sharing our information with criminals. 40. Although technology has chan
41、ged the way we acquire friends, the meaning of friendship and our longing for friends remain the same. As Aristotle said, no one would choose to live without friends, even if he had all other goods.AAll you need is a Wi-Fi connection.B. But this doesnt mean that we should throw the baby out with the
