And for every accent, there are groups of peopl
16、e who react badly to it. These reactions are the result of prejudice. No accent is free from such prejudices. I have held and expressed prejudices about other peoples accents. Over the decades, my experience of working with people from a wide range of backgrounds has led me to give up these prejudic
17、es. However, I still have prejudices that I find difficult to control in relation to some particular accents. Language experts tell us that no accent is better than any other. But the reality is that the wider world likes the idea of simple rules which tell us what is right and wrong. We like to jud
18、ge others on the basis of these rules. If you break these rules, you are somehow to blame. Jacob Rees Mogg recalls when he first stood unsuccessfully for election (选举) in Fife, Scotland: “I gradually realized that whatever I happened to be speaking about, the number of voters in my favor dropped as
19、soon as I opened my mouth.” And some people make their accents sound gentler when talking to people outside their circle of family and friends.

Everybody has prejudices about accents. C. People should be proud of their accents. D. People are judged by the
23、ir accents.DIn the last decade, Google has spent millions of dollars on measuring nearly every aspect of its employees lives from what characters the best managers share to how often particular people eat together. Google was determined to find out how to form “the perfect team”. The companys manage
24、rs worked hard on finding the perfect group of people necessary to form an excellent team. They believed that building good teams meant combining the best people. But it wasnt that simple. In 2012 Google ran a project known as Project Aristotle. It took several years and included interviews with hun
25、dreds of employees. The project led to the same conclusion that good managers have always known: In the best teams, members are able to understand other peoples feelings, and most importantly, listen to one another. Matt, a manager at Google, was eager to put Project Aristotles findings into practic
26、e. He took his team outside the office to talk about his cancer diagnosis (诊断). Although his colleagues were silent in the beginning, they then began sharing their own personal stories. At the heart of Matts plan and Googles findings is the idea of “psychological safety”. Google now describes psycho
27、logical safety as the most important factor (因素) in building a successful team.Google concluded that in the best team, all members should contribute to the conversation equally, and respect one anothers emotions.

29、 to learn. C. They are good listeners. D. They are ready to help others. 14.How did Matt get his colleagues sharing their own personal stories? A. By rewarding the first for doing the talking. B.
