THE RIGHT WAY TO MOTIVATE EMPLOYEESIt's important for a CEO to be passionate and enthusiastic,but there's a line of professionalism that mustalways be maintained.According to a report from the technology website Venture Beat,PayPal CEO David Marcus wrote a critical letter to his employees blaming them for not using PayPal products and encouraging them to leave if they didn't have the passion to use the products they work for.According to the website,part of the leaked letter reads:It's been brought to my attention that when testing paying with mobile at Cafe 17 last week,some of you refused to install the PayPal app,and others didn't even remember their PayPal passwords.That's unacceptable to me,and the rest of my team,everyone at PayPal should use our products where available.That's the only way we can make them better,and better.In closing,if you are one of the folks who refused to install the PayPal app or if you can't remember your PayPal password,do yourself a favor,go and find something that will connect with your heart and mind elsewhere.While not obvious at first,the letter reveals a problem of morale and culture at PayPal.As an executive,you certainly want your employees to use and promote your products.However,when faced with a situation where staff isn't embracing what they make,you need to investigate the root of the problem-not threaten.When faced with internal problems,good executives start by asking why.They reach out to their executive team first and then to the entire staff to find the root of a problem and how to fix it.Sending out a one-sided note about the problem is not leading,it's retreating.Leadership starts by listening.Good executives need to get out among the staff and ask questions and listen without judgment or reaction.The fact that company employees are not embracing and using its products is a failure of leadership that Marcus needs to address by self-reflection.At the end of the day,if his employees have to be forced to use the app,how can he expect consumers to want to willingly pay to use it? Marcus should have focused on three questions:Why are you not using the app?What is it that we can do to ensure you use our app?What do you need from me?1.A CEO only needs to be passionate and enthusiastic.2.It is not professional that PayPal CEO blames his employees not to use PayPal or forget PayPal passwords.3.A one-sided note refers to the root of PayPal's problem.4.When faced with internal problems,good executives find the root of a problem in their executive team first.5.Good executives need to give feedback immediately when they are listening to the staff.

阅读理解Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people a

re anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making？ Do they like me？ Do I sound stupid？ Am I wearing unattractive clothes？It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, havinglow self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing.” Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, “You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.” It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced？ Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteems, it is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.

1、What does the author try to prove by citing “what kind of impression am I making？”

A、Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.

B、People’s shyness made them care too much about their appearance and actions.

C、It’s natural that shy people don’t believe other’s compliments.

D、Shy people think they are different from others.

2、According to the writer, self-awareness is _______.

A、a good quality

B、the cause of unhappiness

C、harmful to people

D、a weak point of shy people

3、That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is _________.

A、good

B、unreal

C、very reasonable

D、harmful

4、Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？

A、Shyness helps us to develop our potential.

B、Shyness enables us to understand ourselves better.

C、Shyness can block our chances for a rich life.

D、Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem.

5、It can be inferred from the passage that shy people _______.

A、should find more of their weakness

B、should understand themselves in the right way

C、had better ignore their weakness

D、can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteem

The number of people in the U.S.who choose not to marry is growing every year.By 1996 about 25 million people over the age of 21 years were living alone.50 years ago this number was less than 2 million.One reason for this is because people are getting married at a much later age than in the past.The average age for men is now 27 years.For women it is about 25 years.Another reason is the increase in the number of divorces.

Living alone has become more acceptable in American society.In the past people sometimes think those who lived alone were a little strange.These days,however,several of the most popular TV shows tell the story of men and women who can't meet "the right person" and who plan to be single forever.Many such single people (especially women) feel that they are more free to pursue (追求) their careers (事业) than those who are married.In a way these people are married to their jobs.

In an ordinary mirror your right eye stares at your right eye and your left eye at your le

ft eye--the opposite of the right-left, left-right connection we employ for assessing one another in the wild. The image in a True Mirror (which shows what you look like to others) can come as something of a shock. You tend to look the way you do in photographs, which for many people is also a shock. (This is the flip side (反面) of the start you sometimes get when looking at the reflected image of someone you are accustomed to seeing in person.) A newspaper headline held up to a True Mirror doesn't appear backward--it reads just fine. But your own face may seem oddly asymmetrical. Facial mannerisms nurtured in front of a normal mirror may in a True Mirror be revealed in a different light. "It is a wholly new view for many," the True Mirror's promotional literature concedes, "and not surprisingly, some don't like or feel uncomfortable with the new look."

Another issue: in a True Mirror you seem to have far less control over the figure in the glass than you do in a normal mirror. If you turn to the right in front of a normal mirror, the image turns with you and ends up facing in the same direction, completing the visual palindrome (回文). In a True Mirror the image faces the other way, as if you were about to begin pacing off for a duel with yourself; and when you take a step, the image steps away from you. In a normal mirror your reflected finger comes out to meet your real one until they touch, like Michelangelo's God and Adam. In a True Mirror the reflected finger comes at you from the other side of the glass, as if pointed by the other hand. Ordinarily, you have no difficulty looking at a normal mirror and guiding your hand to an object reflected in it. Try this with a True Mirror, and your grasp will prove errant. Shaving becomes a blood sport. If all the review mirrors in America's cars were suddenly replaced by True Mirrors, there could be a very special episode of ER (美国电视剧《急诊室》).

People are often killed while crossing the road. Most of them are old people and child

ren. Old people are often killed because they usually can't see or hear very well. Children are often killed because they are careless.

A car, truck or bus can't stop very quickly. If a car is going very fast, it will travel many meters before it stops. People don't understand this. They think a car can stop within a few meters. The faster a car is traveling, the longer it needs to stop. It is very hard for a person to know how fast a car is traveling.

The only safe way to cross the road is to look both ways, right and left. When the road is clear, it's safe to cross. The correct way to cross the road is to walk quickly. It's not safe to run. If people run across the roads, they may fall to the ground.

1)、Young men and women are most likely to be killed when crossing the road.
