1. Understanding the Organization of the Text
1) Introduction: (Para.1)
Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people.
2) Reasons why shyness can have a negative effect: (Para.2&3)
People’s self-concept has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.
People with high self-esteem usually act with confidence.
People with low self-esteem are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others.
3) Ways of overcoming shyness: (Para.4-15)
i) Recognize your personal strengths and weaknesses.
ii) Set reasonable goals.
iii) Don’t waste time and energy on destructive feelings such as guilt and shame.
iv) Don’t be afraid to speak up and give your point of view.
v) Do not make negative comments about yourself.
vi) Accept criticism thoughtfully.
vii) Profit from failures and disappointments by viewing them as learning experiences.
viii) Do not associate with people who make you feel inadequate.
ix) Set aside time to relax, enjoy hobbies, and reevaluate your goals regularly.

3. Group Discussion
1) I think the most effective ways of overcoming shyness are the first and seventh ways. Recognizing our personal strengths and weaknesses is useful because if we know ourselves better, we can feel more self-confident. We can be more objective, instead of being blind. The seventh way is to profit from failures and disappointments as learning experiences. If we allow ourselves to get discouraged and sad when we fail, then we will feel more uns
ure of ourselves. But if we think of a failure as a learning experience, we are adopting a positive attitude. By analyzing objectively why we failed and planning how to set about doing things differently we will be more likely to succeed next time.
2) Modesty is used to describe a reserved appraisal of one’s merits, abilities or success, e.g. she is very modest about her accomplishments. Shyness is used to describe the uncomfortable feeling one has in the company of others. It often implies a lack of self-confidence and a timid, reserved manner. Modesty is a good personality trait while shyness in many cases is undesirable.
3) Yes, it is appropriate and normal to be shy in some circumstances: in the presence of teachers, your boss, your parents’ friends or your prospective in-laws; when you are dating someone, especially the first time; when you are with strangers; when you are in a new environment; when you’re facing a large audience.

2. Ekwefi is telling a story about Tortoise. Long long ago, there was a famine, and the birds got an invitation from the sky to attend a feast there. Tortoise learned about it and with his sweet tongue he persuaded the birds to take him with them and so each bird lent him a feather. Tortoise cunningly thought of an idea that enabled him to have all the food by naming himself “All of you.” When they reached the sky, they received a warm welcome and soon the food was presented to them. Then he asked one of the people in the sky: “For whom have you prepared all this feast?” The man replied: “For all of you.” So he ate almost all the best food. The birds became very angry and took back their feathers before flying home. Without feathers, he had to jump onto the ground and his shell was broken into pieces.
3. Acting out the Story
Sample
Bir
d A: How exciting! All of us are invited to the feast in the sky.
Bird B: I just can’t wait. What do you think I should wear?
Tortoise: Hello. Good morning. What are you excited about?
Bird A: Didn’t you know that we are going to the sky?
Bird B: And we are going to have a big dinner. What fun!
Tortoise: How nice it is. What lucky guys. May I go with you? I’m sure we’ll have a lot of fun.
Bird A: Yes, we’ll have great fun, but not you. We know you too well. You are full of cunning and you are ungrateful.
Bird B: If we allow you to come with us, you will soon begin your mischief.
Bird A: We know you of old.
Tortoise: You don’t know me now. I’m a changed man. I am not the mischievous man you once knew. In fact, I am thoughtful and well-meaning. I have learned that a man who makes trouble for others is also making trouble for himself. Rest assured, I promise you I will not cause you any trouble.
Bird A: (Talking to Bird B) Maybe he is a changed man now. Let’s talk to our bird friends and see if we will take him with us.
(After a brief discussion with all the other birds)
Bird B: Ok. Tortoise, now we all agreed to take you to the sky. Each of us will lend you a feather so that you can have two wings to fly.
(During the flight to the party)
Bird A: Tortoise is a great orator!
Bird B: Let’s make him the spokesperson for the party.
Tortoise: Did you know that we need a new name when we are invited to a great feast like this? It is an age-old custom and our hosts in the sky will expect us to honor it.
Bird A: We haven’t heard of this before. But as you are such a learned man, if you say this, we will choose a new name for ourselves. I will call myself Good-Looking.
Bird B: I am Smart-Ass.
Tortoise: And my new name is All of You.
(On their arrival at the sky)
Sky people: Welcome to the sky, our dear bird friends. We are so pleased to see you again. Please make yourselves at home.
Tortoise: My dear respected friends, thank you so much for inviting us to the sky. Nothing can make us happier than this. It is our greatest honor to be here and have a good time with you.
Sky people: Thank you for your nice words. Now please help yourselves to the nuts.
Bird A: Tortoise is really eloquent, isn’t he? I’m glad we decided to bring him with us.
Bird B: Yes. And these are delicious nuts.
Sky people: Now the dinner is ready. Please enjoy the soup, meat, fish and pounded yam. Here is palm wine, too.
Tortoise: Just a moment. Let me ask you first. For whom have you prepared this feast?
Sky people: For whom? Why? For all of you, of course.
Tortoise (To the birds): You remember that my name is All of You. The custom here is to serve the spokesman first and the others later. They will serve you when I finish.
Sky people (To themselves): Looks like it is their custom to leave all the food to their king first.
Tortoise: Mm. Yummy. Mm. I’m full now. You can start to eat.
Bird A: We should never bring him here. I am t
oo angry to eat. I’m going home.
Bird B: Wait. I am leaving, too. Take the feather with us.
Tortoise: What are you doing? Leave me the feather. Oh, how am I going home without a single feather? You can’t do this to me?
Birds: Bye.
Tortoise: Could someone take a message for my wife? Tell her to bring out everything soft and cover the ground. …
4. Taking Sides
Samples
1) -- I don’t admire Tortoise’s cleverness. He was unwise to cheat all the birds. After his mischief, how could he have face to live together with them any longer? He would have no friends at all. He was clever, but at the same time he was also stupid. When all the birds became so angry, how could he have trusted Parrot? He should have jumped into the sea to avoid being hurt.
-- I admire Tortoise’s cleverness. He was a guy who knew where to look for a nice dinner during a time of famine. He knew very well how to get trust from others. He was also quick-minded. His only mistake was that he should not be so greedy as not to leave any nice food for the birds.
--I sympathize with the birds. They took Tortoise with them to the sky out of kindness, but after flying such a long distance, they had to fly back home on an empty stomach. They were formally invited, but the food was enjoyed by Tortoise, who hadn’t been formally invited. I think the birds were very unlucky.
-- I think the birds are stupid. They knew very well that Tortoise couldn’t be trusted as he was always mischievous. But they persuaded themselves that he was a changed man. At the party they should have let the sky people know Tortoise was not their king and they had the right to have some of the nice food, as they were the guests.
2) I learned from the story that a) we should be honest, and shouldn’t cheat others. If we cheat others, we will be punished in the end; b) we shouldn’t be carried away by sweet words, like the birds; c) a leopard can’t change its spots, nor can Tortoise. He was cunning, he could never change his personality and behave himself.

Sample 1
In our group, two of us were latchkey children, two were taken care of by their grandparents, and one was taken care of by his mother because his mother did not work. The two who were once latchkey children had felt very much the same as the children mentioned in the passage. They felt lonely and watched TV a lot. But compared with the other students in our group, they are more independent. So in a way, it is good to leave children alone for some time every day.
Sample 2
In our group, only one person was once a latchkey child. Both her parents were working far away from home and she had to be on her own for most of the time on weekdays. The rest of us were taken care of either by our grandparents or by our parents. Every day when we came home after school, there was always somebody there waiting for us and taking care of us. We could also
go out and play with other children after we finished our homework. But sometimes we did wish we were alone so that we could spend the time as we wished.

4. Sentence-Making Game
Suggestions for teachers:
Step 1: Write on the blackboard about 20 words or phrases that appear in the text. An even number is desirable since the students will be divided into 2 groups.
A possible list:
rise decade expense financial affect on the other hand priority
engage range forbid isolate stimulate express claim widespread
given work out take into consideration in case of secure arise
cope with demand provide
Step 2: Divide the students into two groups.
Step 3: The students make sentences using the words on the blackboard. Each sentence can include more than one word and must be meaningful and grammatically correct. One point is awarded for each correctly used word. The teacher crosses out the word which has been correctly used. If the word is crossed out, it cannot be used again.
Step 4: Students are encouraged to work quickly and raise their hands as soon as they come up with a sentence. The teacher works as a judge; the group that gets higher points wins.

3. Job Application and Recruitment
An alternative activity for the teacher to organize for the class:
The teacher may organize an interview in the follow
ing way:
1) Choose an interview panel of three or four students. Choose three students for the panel to interview for the job of a store detective. Hold the interviews. When they are over, the panel should discuss the qualifications of the applicants and choose the one they think is best.
2) Ask the class to talk about the interviews. Ask questions such as:
A. Do you agree with the panel’s decision?
B. How could the applicants have done better?
C. Were the interviews fair?
Sample answers
-- I agree with the panel’s decision. First, the applicant is very confident in answering the questions and he knows what he is supposed to do. Second, he is quick-minded and very strong. Third, he is interested in the job and is ready to dedicate himself to the job. Finally, he has previous experience in working as a store detective.
-- I don’t agree with the panel’s decision. I think the panel puts too much emphasis on the appearance of the applicants. I think Applicant B is much more suited for the job. He has a warmer personality. He can be a good store detective as well as a good staff member, because I don’t think the sole responsibility for a detective is to check on the shoppers. He should also help the customers when possible.
-- Generally speaking, I think the panel has made a wise decision and chosen the right one for the job. Yet I think the applicant could have done better by not being so conceited and bragging about his own ability. After all, people cannot trust too much what a person says about himself without further investigation. What’s more, team spirit is very important. If he is not easy-going and feels too good about himself, it will be difficult for others to cooperate with him. Also I doubt whether he will be listening to the boss.

A Comparison of Animal and Human Aggression
AnimalsHuman beings
Causes of aggression1) Abnormal conditions8) Living conditions in crowded cities.
Consequences2) It will show abnormal aggressiveness.9) People may behave aggressively toward each other.
Examples3) A tiger once came out of the jungle into a village and attacked a man.
4) The caged lion often becomes more aggressive than it would be in the wild.10) A once self-employed crafts-man and people who once worked in a small firm will express aggression through resentment and anger.
11) A man may kill thousands of people by dropping a bomb from a plane.
Behavior in desirable situations5) The tiger would have stayed in the jungle and hunted for food in the customary way.
6) The caged lion would be continually active, ranging over long distances, hunting in family groups.12) People might have been no more aggressive than their fellow creatures.
13) The man would hesitate to hit another person in front of his eyes.
Possible solutions7) The lion should be free to wander on the grassy plains of Africa.14) Hostility and aggression should be expressed in constructive activity and non-violent competition.

3. Questions for Group Discussion
1) –Yes. There were 2 world wars before, during which large numbers of people were killed and the great majority of them were innocent. Human beings or the whole world can be destroyed if nuclear or biological weapons should be used by violent insane people. We have never heard of anything like these in the animal world. Besides humans have killed large numbers of animals for food, clothes, medical research, pleasure, or for no reason at all. So I think humans are much more aggressive than animals.
– No, animals are, in general, more aggressive than humans. Humans are good by nature, while animals have no power of reasoning. What’s more, animals have more physical force and other defenses such as claws and fangs. Without weapons, man is weaker and less aggressive than animals.
2) – Yes, sports are generally a good way to channel energy and aggression, especially boxing, wrestling, ball games, etc. International sports enable athletes from many countries to meet and to compete for medals. To prepare for international sports competitions, they have to improve their skills, strengthen their muscles, develop effective strategies, etc. Others, non-athletes, will feel concerned with them, excited with them, and proud of them, and cheer for them.
– No, the Olympic Games are just sports competitions. They won’t change the political ideas of nations. We have never heard of any sports games that have stopped disputes, conflicts, wars, etc., but on the other hand there were athletes who were prevented from participating in the Games because of international conflicts. And there have been acts of terrorism, and examples of unfair judgments and aggressive behavior at the Olympic Games.

4.
Aggression is the fighting instinct in beast and man, which is directed against members of the same species. It is theorized that in natural conditions aggression helps to ensure survival of individuals (and thus the species), by preventing too dense a population from developing and exhausting all of its food sources. Fighting is generally considered to be a trait characteristic of males and uncharacteristic of females. However, many but not all female mammals exhibit aggression during the postpartum (产后的) period in defense of their young.
The great animal behaviorist Konrad Lorenz observed that in every individual the readiness to fight is greatest in the most familiar place: in the middle of its territory. As the distance from territory increases, readiness to fight decreases proportionately. This was not the case with my pet rat; he was ready and willing to beat up his neighbors the minute he stepped through their door. What causes some rats to be more aggressive than others? There is certainly evidence that aggression has a genetic basis, at least in some animals.

“The writer was determined and ready to make changes. First, he made a point of getting away* from familiar situations and people that he wanted to impress. Next, he organized his days so that he could do activities that helped him change and develop. After that, he made an effort to try new ways of doing things. Then, he announced publicly what he planned to do so that it would be difficult for him to break his promises. Later, he analyzed his experiences in a logical way. When he returned, he changed things in his life so that he would continue the process that began while he was away. The process for change was a success.”
*make a point of doing something: be certain that one does something, usually in an obvious way.
e.g. From then on he made a point of avoiding her.

1) I think it’s interesting and effective. Any change in scenery or surroundings can be beneficial. Yet it is too expensive, too self-centered and too time-consuming. Isolating oneself from one’s friends and family doesn’t seem to be the best way for transformation to take place. Anyway, one has to get back to their friends and family who are important for their life and happiness.
2) Other possible ways to make changes:
-- to do new and different things (sports, reading, painting);
-- to do things to help other people;
-- to look for a new job;
-- to find a new hobby.
I think the most effective way is to help other people.

在全球范围内实行计划生育的困难之一在于，各国考虑到国家的工业发展水平以及可利用的食物和原材料，对人口控制采取了不同的态度。在一个发展中国家，如果急剧增加的人口对食物、空间以及自然资源造成巨大的压力，那么会不计后果，首先关注出生率。在一个高度工业化的国家，问题可能会更加复杂。出生率降低会导致失业，因为降低出生率会使制造品市场萎缩。当人口对住房的压力减少时，房价会降低，建筑业就会因此疲软。面对这样一些因素，发达国家的可能会希望本国的人口呈渐长趋势，而不是保持稳定或下降。

Unit 1 Personality 羞怯的痛苦
对许多人来说，羞怯是很多不愉快的起因。各种各样的人——矮的、高的、愚笨的、聪明的、年轻的、年老的、瘦的、胖的——都说自己是羞怯的。羞怯的人会焦虑不安，感到不自然；也就是说，他们过分地关注自己的外表和举止。脑海中不断盘旋着一些使自己不安的想法：我给人留下的是什么印象？他们喜欢我吗？我讲话是不是傻里傻气？我长得难看。我穿的衣服毫不引人注目。很显然这种不安的感觉会对人产生不利的影响。一个人的自我看法反映在自己的行为方式之中，而一个人的行为方式又影响他人的反应。通常，人们如何看待自己对他们生活的各个方面都会产生深刻的影响。例如，具有积极的自我价值观或很强自尊心的人往往表现出自信。而由于自信，他们不需要他人不断地称赞和鼓励，也能使自己感觉良好。自信者热情、自发地投入生活。他们不因别人认为他们“该”做什么而受到影响。有很强自尊心的人不会被批评所伤害；他们不会把批评看作是人身攻击。相反，他们认为批评是一种提醒他们改进的建议。相比之下，羞怯的人自尊心较弱，往往消极被动并且容易受他人影响。他们（是否）在做“该做的事情”需要得到别人的肯定。害羞的人对批评非常敏感；他们觉得批评正好证实了他们比别人差。他们也很难因别人的赞美而高兴，因为他们相信自己不值得称赞。羞怯的人也许会用这样的话来回答别人的赞美之辞：“你这么说只是为了让我感觉好一些。我知道这不是真的。”显然，尽管自我意识是一种健康的品质，过分的自我意识却是不利和有害的。能否彻底消除或者至少减轻羞怯感呢？幸运的是，人们能够通过坚持不懈的努力建立自信从而克服羞怯。由于胆怯和缺少自尊是密切相关的，因此正视自己的弱点和正视自己的优点一样重要。例如，大多数人希望每门功课都得A。如果仅仅因为在某些领域有困难，就把自己列为差生，这不恰如其分。人们对自己的期望必须现实。老是想那些不可能的事情会令自己觉得，甚至产生嫉妒。当我们嫉妒比自己成绩好的学生时，我们正在自我否定。如果你害羞，这里有些具体有效的步骤帮助你树立信心并克服羞怯感：１．认清自己的优缺点。每个人既有优点又有缺点。随
着对自我的不断认同，羞怯感就会自然减弱。２．确定合理的目标。例如，在聚会时和一群陌生人在一起，你也许会怯场。不要以为你必须和每个人交谈。集中精力，仅和一两个人交谈，你会感到更自在些。３．内疚和羞耻感是消极的情感。不要把时间和精力浪费在这上头。假设你伤害了某人的感情，（光）感到羞愧是无济于事的。相反，应该承认你犯了个错误，并决心在将来更加善解人意。４．所有问题都有许多种解决办法。很少有完全正确或完全错误的意见。要敢于公开表达自己的观点。５．不要对自己做消极的评论。这是一种自我否定。千万别把自己描述为愚蠢的、丑陋的，或者一个失败者。注重自己积极的方面。６．接受批评时要缜密思考。不要把批评理解为人身攻击。例如，如果一位朋友抱怨你的烹饪技术，要把这当成对你的烹饪技术而不是对你本人的评价而接受下来。放心，你们还是好朋友，但你的烹饪技术也许确实有待改进。７．记住，每个人都会经历一些失败和挫折。要把它们作为增长见识的经历，从中受益。挫折往往会成为转机，随之而来的将是一段美妙绝伦的经历。例如，你可能被你所中意的大学拒之门外。然而，在你就读的大学里，你可能发现这里教育的某一特点比你料想的好得多。８．有些人会使你感到自己，不要和这种人交往。去设法改变他们对你的态度或者改变你对自己的态度，要不就脱离这种关系。伤害你的人并不关心你的最大利益。９．留出时间休息，享受自己的业余爱好，并且定期地重新审定自己的目标。为此所花费的时间有助于更好地了解你自己。１０．多在社交场合中锻炼。不要把自己同他人隔离开来。设法一次结识一位朋友；最终你将能够娴熟而自信地在众人中周旋。我们每个人都是独一无二、难能可贵的个体。我们自有吸引人的地方。我们对自己了解得越多，就越容易充分发挥自己的潜力。不要让羞怯成为阻碍我们拥有丰富和成功生活的绊脚石。
Unit3 Social Problems
钥匙儿童，铛铛，有人在家吗？
1在美国的生活费用一直在稳步上升，在过去的几十年里。食品价格上涨，衣着费用，住房费用，学费不断越来越高。部分原因是财政的需要，部分原因是个人职业选择完成，母亲已经离开的传统作用全职家庭主妇。越来越多，他们已采取工薪家庭以外的就业机会。
2制作这样一个重要的角色变化影响到整个家庭，尤其是儿童。一些后果是显而易见的。例如，晚餐是在稍后小时。情绪的影响，另一方面，可以更加微妙。母亲离家上午，感觉有罪，因为他们不会主页返回时，他们的孩子
上学。他们压制他们有罪，因为他们相信，他们的工作将会造福于每个人的长期利益。收入将使家庭节省的大学学费，采取了延长假期，买一辆新车，等等。
3情绪影响的儿童可能会很大。这是很常见的儿童感到伤害和怨恨。毕竟，他们仅仅几个小时，他们觉得，他们的母亲“应该有”他们。他们可能需要协助他们的家庭作业或想分享当天的活动。常常，然而，到达家庭的母亲用尽，面对眼前的任务的准备晚餐。其重点是使晚餐的家庭，而不是从事轻松的交谈。
4钥匙儿童的年龄范围从6个增加到13个。每天都在他们返回学校和解锁门家园的关键挂在脖子。他们现在对自己的，，在安静的，空的房间。对于一些青少年，这是一个生产期间的私人时间，而另一些人是可怕的，寂寞是无效的。基于安全的理由，许多家长禁止孩子出去玩，或有旅客在家里。青少年，因此，感到孤单。
5钥匙儿童谁采访报道不同的反应。一些钥匙儿童说，正在自己的几个小时，每天培养，或刺激，意识的性和责任。他们认为爱和信任，这种感觉鼓励他们自信。钥匙女孩，通过观察他们的母亲应付需求的家庭和工作，学习的榜样，一个工作的母亲。有的孩子说，他们利用他们的空闲时间无人监管，完善他们的运动技能，如打篮球。其他看书或练乐器。这些孩子看待他们的自由时间放学后的个人发展机会。它导致积极的，富有成效的，和宝贵的经验。
6另一方面，许多钥匙儿童表示非常痛苦，怨恨和愤怒的正生活在这种方式。许多人声称，鉴于太多的责任是对他们在幼年;这是一个压倒性的负担。他们是谁没有人真的很想得到保护，鼓励和关怀，通过注意从他们的母亲。回家的空房子，令人失望，孤独，而且往往是可怕的。他们认为他们的母亲所抛弃。毕竟，它似乎他们大多数其他儿童的“正常”的家庭，其母亲“周围” ，而自己的母亲从来没有回家。许多儿童开启电视的整个下午一天，以减少感情隔离;此外，声音安慰。通常情况下，他们会打瞌睡。
7由于任何经济上的需要，或为个人的坚定决心履行，或两者兼而有之，但这种现象的钥匙儿童是我们社会中普遍存在。不管什么原因，这是一个引人注目的情况，家庭必须应付。要问的问题不是是否应该母亲应全时工作。鉴于现实情况，这个问题问的是：如何以最佳的计划制定出有效地处理这种情况。
8这是可取的所有家庭成员，以表达自己的感情和关注，不可避免的改变坦率。这些言论应该充分讨论。许多因素必须考虑到：孩子们的个性和成熟，所需的时间将孩子单独，安全的社区，获得帮助，如
遇紧急情况。最高重要的是质量的关系，父母与子女之间。最重要的是，儿童是安全的知识，他们的喜爱。爱的感觉提供了宝贵的精神力量，成功地对付几乎所有的困难，在生活中出现。（ 760字）
Unit 4 Career Planning
职业生涯规划
1职业生涯规划不一定例行或合乎逻辑的步骤。我们每个人都在不同的地方体重因素，可考虑某些阶段的职业规划，在不同的时间。职业规划包括收集有关自己和了解职业，估计各种可能的结果的行动，最后，选择的替代品，我们认为有吸引力的和可行的。
2许多观察家指出，学生是不是非常有效的职业生涯规划。他们列举的证据表明，大多数学生中选择一种十分狭隘集团的职业;多达40至百分之六十选择专业职业，而实际上只有15%至18%的百分之劳动力从事专业工作;年轻人表现出惊人的缺乏兴趣的文书，销售，服务等职业，尽管这些领域提供了许多就业机会;多达三分之一的学生无法表示任何选择职业。
3在书中决策，欧文詹尼斯和莱昂曼确定中存在的严重缺陷的方法很多人作出决定。这些缺陷似乎与模式的人使用，以应付的问题。第一个漏洞是自满。谁无视人民挑战的信息作出的选择，他们表现出的自满。人们谁采取的态度是“这不会影响我”或“这绝不会发生”使用自满为主导的模式行事。当然，自满是适当的任何决定，其中任何事关重大，但这并不说明职业生涯的决定。
4第二个漏洞，人们应付决定是防御撤销。当面对的是一个决定，并不能认为他们可以找到一个可以接受的解决办法，有些人保持冷静，通过诉诸一厢情愿或白日梦。学生谁不想想影响他们的职业选择往往从事合理化（欺骗自己与自我满足，但不正确的解释，一个人的行为）或拖延（推迟或拖延）。面临的形势可能会产生焦虑，但检查的替代品也可提供救济。
5第三个漏洞是hypervigilance 。这发生在职业生涯决策当人们认为，没有足够的时间来寻找解决办法，他们的恐慌。他们疯狂地寻找职业的可能性和抓住匆忙发明的解决办法，忽略了他们所选择的后果以及其他替代方案。人谁在恐慌有时并不认为明确或逻辑。
6最好的因应行为是警惕。警惕决策时，就会发生人认为，选择，应作出，他们可以找到一个解决办法，并且有足够的时间。在这种情况下，学生可以进行有效的寻找替代的职业，认真评估每一个备选方案，并制定应急计划，以防一种或另一种风险出现。
7以下是关键的职业规划。
8 。研究自己。这是关键的职业规划。了解你喜欢，你的价值，以及你想成为的基础是所有职业规划。在学习，你检查你的长处和短处，自
己的目标，以及您个人的趋势发展。自我的理解是，您可以获得您可以想像某些职业可能最适合你的个性，兴趣，能力和目标。所有职业的决定，要求我们既要了解自己，了解有关工作，并结合这两种知识。
9 。撰写您的职业目标了。有用的技术，组织观念的职业发展实际上是为写下来的时间在你的生活区块。写下来您结晶您的思想和认识不清，半形成的想法。这可能导致新的见解您的可能性和可帮助您查看新的关系，模式和趋势，或找出差距在你思考你的职业发展。
10 。修改您的计划和进度定期与他人。每个经常，评估您的情况，并考虑了哪些步骤将采取下一步。考虑库存的进展和规划进一步的步骤可以帮助您解决的变化，你的经历和变化，在劳动力市场。谈到自己的计划，高校辅导员，你的父母，和你的朋友可以帮助您确定您的目标和改善你的职业生涯规划或使他们的工作。
11 。如果您选择的职业不适合你，你可以从头开始。今天，越来越多的男子和妇女正在改变职业或取得第二次启动的事业有更大的呼吁他们。许多人发现他们谁行的工作是不能令人满意的克制，为不同的占领。往往是他们新的职业，是他们忽略了他们年轻的时候，或者说他们没有机会继续在那个时候对金融或其他原因。
12社会学家说，很少有变化，工作机会，涉及“向下”运动;大多数涉及传统业务的“领先” 。不再重视社会的耻辱“不稳定”的想法，职业跳跃，因为它曾经。
13个职位的变化和职业的变化发生在所有年龄层。据估计，多达四分之一的男性工人年龄介于20和2005年改变其工作方针。大约有一半的数量这样做岁之间的25和44 。
14职业生涯规划并不能保证所有的问题，困难，或决策的情况，面对您在不久的将来得到解决或取得任何方便。没有任何公式可以考虑这样做。但是，职业规划应该帮助你的办法，更好地应对新问题，如决定是否进入教育或培训计划，决定是否更换工作，并分析了困难，您有一个或一个人的情况。
15没有人可以预见的未来持有的任何我们。有社会，情感，和道义上的考虑我们对未来不可预见。但最重要的教训，这往往不愉快的是，现代世界的进展来自规划。不了解自己的职业生涯并不幸福“ 10 ” ;原因是优于机会和命运。虽然目前还没有确定的方法，使职业生涯规划工作，有些事情你现在能做的塑造你的职业生涯的可能性。（ 1047字）

命它连接。这是第三次的3月， 1887年，前3个月我是7岁。
2日下午的多事的一天，我站在门廊，哑，期待。我猜依稀从我母亲的迹象，从匆忙来回在屋子里的东西不寻常的是即将发生，所以我走到门边，等待的步骤。下午的阳光穿透金银花的质量，覆盖的门廊，和落在我的姿态面对。我的手指几乎不自觉地停留在熟悉的叶子和花朵刚刚出来迎接春季甜南部。我不知道未来的奇迹了，我还是感到惊讶。 “ 1 ”的愤怒和仇恨的折磨后，我不断为周和深殢成功这一充满激情的斗争。
3你去过在海上的浓雾，当时好像有形白色关闭你在黑暗中，伟大的船舶，紧张和焦虑，她摸索着走向岸边的暴跌和探空行，你等着不停跳心内的事情发生？我想我该船教育开始之前，只有我没有罗盘或深线，并没有办法知道如何靠近港口。 “光！给我光明！ ”是无言的哭泣，我的灵魂，鉴于爱照耀我在这个非常小时。

双胞胎，基因，与环境
1遗传或环境：这是更有力？潜力是一个人出生时确定以某种方式做什么，他将生活中。因此，遗传是命运，是一种运气。然而，基因不能正常工作在真空中，一旦我们开始考虑，他们的作用发挥在个人发展，我们看到，就没有发展的互动环境。没有特点是完全由要么造成环境或基因。
2 ，相对影响的遗传和环境是最清楚的观察到的同卵双生的双胞胎。大多数同卵双胞胎一起提出，并都在显着外观和行为。这些案例表明，个人与同一基因，当提出在同一个环境中，将对此作出回应大致相同的方式。他们并不表明会发生什么，如果这些相同的个人单独提出。
3一些研究已经提出的同卵双胞胎之外。这对双胞胎谁是主体的这些研究居住在美国，提出了许多相同的物理环境，和有经验的大致相同营养历史。因此，人们可能预期，他们保持了密切的相似之处对方的外表，身高，体重。例外发生在一个双制定了相当严重的疾病和其他没有，但总体上大家都留下了深刻的印象非常的心理和生理肖像之间存在的同卵双胞胎，即使是那些谁已经脱离萌芽阶段。
4在研究19对双胞胎谁已经离职，从出生，调查人员发现，在大约三分之二的规定，没有更多的显着性差异比之间存在unseparated对双胞胎。这有力地表明权力的基因和的影响环境。然而，必须记住的是，虽然同卵双胞胎进行了研究谁住在不同的家庭远离对方的家庭环境中没有这些，就整体而言，大大不同。通常将尽一切努力使每个孩子在一个家庭的背景相似，它自己的家庭，因此，不应该令人感到意外地发现，这对双胞胎发达国家同样。不过，在这些案件中，出现了差异较大的环境中分离的双胞胎，在双胞胎之间的差异更为巨大。下列案件说明会发生什么变化双胞胎当他们长大的对比环境。
5格拉迪斯和海伦出生在俄亥俄州的一个小城镇和分离约18个月的年龄。他们并不满足，一直到二十八年岁。海伦已经通过两次。她第一次养父母已被证明是不稳定，海伦已经归还给孤儿院几年后，几个月后，她再次获得通过，由一个农民和他的妻子谁住在密歇

6格拉迪斯获得通过加拿大铁路售票员和他的妻子。当她在三年级，全家搬到了相当孤立的部分加拿大洛基山脉，那里没有学校，格拉迪斯'正规教育已经结束，并没有恢复，直到全家搬到安大略省。她留在家里做家务，直到和她是17 ，然后去工作，针织厂。她去底特律在19 ，找到工作，和她结婚01年。
7海伦已超过格拉迪斯健康，童年和成人，但除此之外，他们的环境非常类似，除了他们的教育。他们的体重，身高，头发颜色，牙齿十分相似。尊敬的分歧，他们显然与他们不同的社会生活造成。
8海伦是自信，优雅，取得最大的她亲自出庭，并表明相当波兰和易用性的社会关系。格拉迪斯是害羞，自我意识，安静和迷人的或优雅的举止。谁研究的科学家他们说： “作为一个广告，大学教育之间的对比这两个双胞胎应该是相当有效。 ”
9考虑的性质，其环境的经验，不同的海伦和格拉迪斯是不足为奇的。由于依赖心理素质这么多的经验，这是可以预料，它们将反映。另一方面，性状不容易被影响的环境更有可能表现出高度的相似性双胞胎。很重要，他们的基因本身是绝对不会承担任何责任性状。我们能做的是所确定的基因，但我们确实在很大程度上取决于环境。
Unit 10 Reflection on Life
10世纪日记
1如何我觉得在成为50岁？感到惊讶。惊讶的是，我要活这么长时间。惊讶的是，它应该是这么短。惊讶的是，我不是著名。惊讶的是，我应该感到惊讶，因为我不是名人。
2我的全部生活中，我一直出于好奇心。我不知道这是为什么？我的母亲不是好奇。虽然我的祖父去世之前，我出生，从我听说过他，了解他，从他离开的书籍，我认为这是可能的，我继承了我的好奇心他。出生在英格兰的威尔士父母，他来到美国时，他仅仅只有16岁。
3在50岁我的头脑比任何时候都要好意外，意外的惊喜！我可以集中精力与梁强度的阳光集中通过一个放大镜。有罪和激情分散我的注意力远远少于频繁。慢慢地我开始认识到之间的关系，所有我所经历和阅读。我分析，判断似乎比以前更健全。我的好奇心烧伤光明。一次神秘的问题现在似乎显而易见的。
4 ，尚未！每一个新的答案品种12个新的问题。据我所知，与之相比有什么我不知道，就像一粒沙子的大海。我不敢肯定有什么事情是绝对的。虽然我相信我还活着，我无法准确说出这句话意味着什么。也许原

5有几个人认为我自私。其实，我很谦虚。我很幸运，已经诞生了相当不错的主意，我花了几年抛光这一文书我继承。我会承认我变得不耐烦面对无知。但是，我知道我的，甚至比我的能力。有时我感到灰心，我自己的无知。
6我能找到生活中没有意义。我认为，个人的生活才能充满意义，只有通过爱和工作的一个选择。我的妻子是一个更有价值的人，因为她比我有无限的能力，爱好等。她是一个天才的热爱。我是一个天才在一无所获。当她死去的汪洋大海中，眼泪流。我钦佩她在嫉妒她。
7当我还是个孩子14日我知道我想成为一名记者和作家。那么，现在我是一名经验丰富的记者和明年秋天我的第一本书将出版。事实上，我说第一次证明，我是乐观的我的职业生涯。我相信，在未来十年将成为我生命中最富有成果的。也许我唯一真正有价值的创造，这日记。
8我的10个月的心理帮助我学习如何原谅自己。我更在和平与自己现在比过去任何时候。尽管如此，我知道我还没有确定我所有的心理冲突，更不用说解决这些问题。罗素说，有三个主要的冲突： 1 ）人对他的环境; 2 ）人对人; 3 ）的人对自己不利。我认为，冲突的男子本人是最棘手的。
9刻在庙宇的Delphi是“认识你自己。 ”我想我知道自己比大多数人，因为我花更多的时间学习自己比其他任何事情都。阿日记作者是谁手表作家本人。如果我能知道自己学习好，然后我就可以知道其他人也。
10人是不是更都不同。通过密切关注无论我觉得，并认为，我可以了解他人的感觉和想法。幸运的是，它是人们之间的差异，使他们感兴趣。
11现在，我已经摆脱了我很多的内疚，现在，我比较不僵硬什么我期望从我自己，我相处，更好地与其他人少，因为我希望他们也。生活的伤害。多年来，我已经意识到我是一个怪人，不理解，正是我这个词的含义。现在我知道：偏心是谁正在坚持自己的意见，不论其他，只要他不伤害他们或本人。如果每个人都在世界上为偏心，也就是说，如果每个人都接受了自己，就不会有更多的战争。
12现在，我已经住了半个世纪，我有什么遗憾？当然，我很抱歉，我是缓慢的成熟期。我感到遗憾的是我没有成为一个心理。虽然我并不遗憾，我决定成为一名记者，我希望早日在我选择成为一名治疗师。为什么？因为没有什么利益，我超过人类的本性。
13我们只剩下两个边界。其中之一是外层空间。另一种是内部空间。虽然我没有兴趣和能力，探索外层空间，我做好了充分准备，而探
头的奥秘人的心灵。但我将能够传达给他人？
14我的哥哥，一个具有多项专利发明，也许是世界领先的专家约减震器。但他和我无法沟通，了解他们。我没有技术知识的专业。他无法解释在简单的语言。这是一个失败的例子之间的沟通专家和外行。这细目蔓延。这是因为虽然失去了神经末梢接触对方。由于缺乏沟通，我们可能即将结束的文明
