I didnt doubt it until I called Jesses number to remind Liz that it was her turn to walk the dog, and Jesses mom picked up the phone and said, “I thought she and Je
30、sse were planning to be at your house.” It turned out that the two of them had decided to hang out at a coffee shop instead. When I questioned my daughter, she replied coldly, “Whats the big deal? Youre such a psycho(精神变态者).” Can you say it is right or wrong for them to behave like that? Their chang
31、eable personalities leave you feeling angry and guilty at the same time. In fact, if your kids dont annoy you from time to time, youre not doing your job. “Theres nothing wrong about being angry with your child,” Says Laurence Steinberg, Ph.D., author of The 10 Basic Principles of Good Parenting. “C

For most students, math can be tough but scientists have proved that math problems can actually trigger physical pain. Scientists came to his concl
45、usion with an in-depth experiment, which was published in the Public Library of Science One journal. They began by finding out how much participants fear math. Those involved were asked a series of questions such as how they feel when they receive a math textbook or when they walk into a math lesson
46、. Based on their answers, participants were divided into groups. One group was made up of people who were particularly afraid of math and participants in the other group were more comfortable with the subject. Both groups were then given either math tasks or word tasks. When a math task was going to
47、 come next, a yellow circle would appear but when a word task was soon to come, a blue square would be shown. Using a brain-scan machine, scientists noticed that whenever people from Group One saw a yellow circle, their brain would respond in a way similar to when their body is feeling pain. It was
48、like the pain they would feel, for example, if they burnt their hand on a hot stove. But they reacted less strongly when they knew that they would be faced with a word task. However, scientists saw no strong brain response from people in the second group. Math can be difficult, and for those with hi
49、gh levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMA), math is associated with tension, apprehension and fear. “When you are really thinking about the math problems, your mind is racing and you are worrying about all the things that could go wrong,” explained Ian Lyons from University of Chicago, US, leader of the
50、 study. “The higher a persons anxiety of a maths task, the more he activated brain regions associated with threat detection, and the experience of pain.” More interestingly, the brain activity disappeared when participants actually started dealing with the math tasks. “This means that its not that m
51、ath itself hurts; rather, the anticipation of math is painful,” Lyons said. Based on the study, scientists suggested that things could be done to help students worry less and move past their fear of math, which might mean they perform better in tests.63. In the first stage, scientists ask participan
52、ts some questions to_. A. see whether math hurts. B. find out how much they fear mathC. observe how their brain response. D. test their endurance of pain64. The underlined word “the anticipation of math” is closest in meaning to_. A. the attempt of learning math B. the motivation to work out math pr
53、oblemC. the effort to understand math D. the act of thinking about math65. What can be concluded from the experiment?A. The anticipation of math has no relation to students confidence in math.B. Moderate mathematic anxiety promotes students academic performance.C. Effective solutions have been worke
54、d out to lower students anxiety of math.D. Physical pain caused by HMA disappears in the process of doing math problem.D It was time to break free. I needed to run away and the Bloomsburg Fair was the best place to go. I dont know if you can call it running away when it was only an hour away from my
55、 home. But once I entered the fairgrounds, I crossed over into another world. The loudspeaker offered background music over the sounds of people of people talking, bargaining and food sellers yelling for your attention. I belonged here. I didnt know if I had it in my blood or not, but I always wante
56、d to have a small food stand and travel in my off season from fair to fair selling goodies. Perhaps one day. It certainly wasnt a priority in my life, Perhaps it should be. After I was there a while, I needed to get away to a quiet spot. Most of the time, I could find that anywhere the farm animals
57、were kept. They needed the quiet. So I went there to find peace with the cows, goats, horses, pigs and yes, the turkeys. Youd think being this close to Thanksgiving, theyd be a little scared, but they were not. It was in the dairy barn(仓库) where I found peace this time. I so admired the young folks
58、who tended to farm animals. I thought they had a greater appreciation for life. They participated in it firsthand. I once watched a young farmer help bring a baby cow into the world. My favorite scene was to come across a young cowboy lying in the hay asleep among the cows that had settled down for
59、a rest. There, with his heads in a small soft spot alongside his favorite cow, I had seen him in a much deserved sleep. Perhaps better at rest there than in his own bed. I had the pleasure of speaking with a young teenage farm girl that day. You look so comfortable, I said to her. Oh I am, she said.
60、 Life makes it comfortable for me. You mean being a farm girl? No, Life! Thats the name of my cow, she said, smiling as she gently patted the cows side. I thought they called cows Betsy and Elsie. Why did you call her Life? “I discovered life again here. It was the only meaningful name that came to
61、mind. I had been raised in the big city and really hated it. Then we moved to the country, running away from it. I think my parents called it a mid-life crisis, she said, laughing. Oh, I can understand that. Ive been in one since birth, I said. It was on the farm that I learned to love life again. I
62、 was there when Life was born. It was so exciting. My whole outlook on the world changed. So I named her Life. Now, I can say I really love Life, she said. How amazing! I write stories and I am always trying to get people to enjoy life, to wake up each day expecting the best from it. But they all to
63、o often go to bed with so much bad stuff in their soul, and on their mind, that they wake up feeling bad and expect it to only get worse from there. All too often it does, just because thats all they choose to see in that otherwise perfectly beautiful day, I told her. Thats too bad. They need to see
64、 a cow born, a chicken hatch. I guess they need to wake up early and hug Life! she said, laughing. When was the last time you hugged Life? she asked me. I am sorry to say even I have had trouble doing that lately, I said. Come here! she said. Then standing up and stepping aside, she said, Go aheadhu
65、g Life! I paused for a moment and dropping all thoughts of looking silly, I did. I hugged a cow.66.

69、anagers should always have an exit strategy. Because if you receive a promotion or new position, youll need to have a plan in place for your departure-including a solid suggestion for someone to fill your role. And that means you need to be preparing your employees for leadership now. But, developin
70、g your employees into leaders isnt an instant shift so its important to start now. In my experience as a manager, Ive found that these strategies are vital to start developing the skills that will benefit you and your employees.1. Teach Them to Network Its important to teach your employees how to ef
71、fectively network as soon as possible. You can start small, within your own company, even when there are company events e.g. sponsored meals, or after-work events, encourage your leaders-in-training to go and more importantly, to branch out beyond conversations with the co-workers they already know.
72、 Then, as they grow more comfortable, you can include them community-and industry-wide events -and eventually, even send them in your place to represent your company. When they progress into leadership roles, theyll already have valuable contacts, plus the people skills needed to succeed.2. Give The
73、m the Right Experience As you dole out projects and assignments, give some thought to the unique duties you have as a manager. These are the skills that your employees may not be familiar with-but should, if they aim to move up within the organization. Then, find ways for your employees to start gai
74、ning experience in those areas. The same can be applied to other duties that your team may not have much experience in- like running meetings and overseeing projects. Since these tasks typically include managing other employees, the leader will have to make sure the team stays on task, meets objecti
75、ves, and works collaboratively-all skills that are essential for a manager.3. Allow Them to Struggle a Little When an employee needs help with a task, he or she typically comes to you, so you can either take over or provide the resource that will help accomplish the task. And in most cases, fulfilli
76、ng that managerial duty is perfectly fine. But when youre coaching your employees to become leaders, Ive found that its beneficial to push them to figure out how to get what they need-on their own. Of course, this doesnt mean you can or should sit back and do nothing to help. But little by little, l
77、et your employees take on more responsibility. Eventually, theyll learn how to get what they need even without your help.4. Create an Ownership Mentality Creating an ownership mentality starts with trusting your employees and giving them the authority to make certain decisions, This can also mean gi
78、ving them a little personal time to work on a side project that they think will increase sales. When you make your employees feel like an integral part of the company, they will naturally rise to the occasion and emerge as leaders.Four (71) _That Will Turn Your Employees Into LeadersManagers exit st

Ive been dreaming of becoming an excellent doctor after graduating from un
88、iversity. With peoples awareness of healthy life raised, doctors are playing a more important part and among the highly-paid people in society. More importantly, doctors can help the sick get rid of pain and suffering or even give them a second life. I cant imagine how great I will feel when seeing a patient recover from the illness and live happily again with my help. Now what I should do is to study hard to make sure I can enter a famous medicine university, where I can get the required knowledge and skills to be a good doctor.
