第一篇

Americans value time and save it carefully. Time is a real, precious resource to them so every minute must count. Visitors may think Americans are always in a rush and under pressure. Smiles, short conversations, and small exchanges with strangers don't exist as in other countries. Americans assess others professionally rather than socially. They start talking business immediately since they are always conscious of time and dislike \"wasting\" too much time. Americans work hard at saving time. They would have meetings using equipment like television screens and telephones rather than in person.

Quickly solving a problem or doing a job successfully is a sign of skill. The more important the job, the more time and effort Americans will pour into it. This often makes it difficult for people from

other

cultures

to

understand

Americans.

Therefore,adjusting to another culture has become so important to us. This requires a great deal of personal and cultural awareness. In short, it is highly necessary for us to develop appreciation for things that are foreign to us.

Perhaps second only to the question \"Are we there yet?\" parents on vacation with their children hate hearing \"I think I'm gonna be sick!\" as they motor along the highway.

Car sickness can make family vacations unfortunate for both the sufferer and the rest of the family. Motion sickness, which includes car sickness, sea sickness and air sickness, affects most people to different degrees. Symptoms range from a general feeling of discomfort to nausea (恶心) and vomiting (呕吐).

Doctors at UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas say the discomfort results from conflicting messages being sent to the

brain. The brain relies on messages from the inner ear, the muscles and the eyes to tell it where the body is in space. When any of these body parts send different messages, the brain gets confused, and you get queasy (想呕吐的). For example, if you're reading in the car, your inner ear knows you're moving, but your muscles think you're sitting still and your eyes don't see anything moving because they're looking at the page. On an airplane, your inner ear senses the motion, but your eyes only see the inside of the airplane, which looks still.

Treatments for motion sickness range from folk remedies (疗法) like ginger (生姜) capsules (胶囊) to medicine. If you suffer from motion sickness, try sitting in the front seat of the car,avoid reading while in the car, and look out the front window rather than the side windows. On a plane, pick a seat over a wing. On a boat, try to stay near the center. There is less motion in these areas.

第三篇

Today, the fight against doping (用兴奋剂) is a continuous battle that is possible to win with international efforts.

Doping is defined as the use of a trick, whether substance or method, potentially dangerous to athletes'health and capable of enhancing their performance, or the presence in the athlete's body of a substance, or the use of a method on the list attached to the Olympic Movement Anti-Doping Code (法规).

Doping is completely against the spirit of the Olympic Games: the fair game. Many of the banned substances and methods are dangerous to athletes' health and can cause short- and long-term damage.

Athletes must be very careful about any medicines they are taking, because many common medicines, such as pain-killers,

can contain banned substances. If a competitor wants to use a banned substance for treatment, he or she must get the written approval of the Medical Advisory (咨询) Committee of the IOC Medical Commission (委员会).

If an athlete tests positive in the Olympic Games, he/she will be banned from the Olympics for a period of two years for the first time they are caught. All records or medals achieved by the athlete will be removed. The fight against doping continues.

第四篇

One day, while I was waiting to enter university, I saw a note in a local newspaper. It offered a teaching post at a school in a small town near London. Being very short of money, I applied, yet feared that without a degree and with no experience in teaching my chances of getting the job were small.

However, three days later a letter arrived, asking me for an interview. Happily, I went to the school.

It was clearly the headmaster himself that opened the door. He was short and fat. He looked at me with a surprised air.

He began the interview by asking me questions: what subjects I had taken; how old I was; what games I played; then looking me straight in my eyes, he asked me whether I thought games were an important part of a boy's education. I said yes.

The school, he said, was made up of one class of twenty-four boys. I would have to teach all subjects except art, which he taught himself.

\"What would my pay be?\" I said shyly. \"Twelve pounds a week and lunch.\"

Before I could protest (抗议), he got to his feet. \"Now,\" he said, \"You'd better meet my wife. She's the one who really runs this school.\"

第五篇

English language learning is not easy. At times it is frustrating. I started to learn English when I was in junior high school. And, just like every other student in my class, I was made happy by my successes and saddened by my failures. Only when I had a chance to learn English through a computer course did I finally make great progress. Many people know the importance of the phrase,\"to have control over one's own situation\". Now you can control your own situation by having the freedom to study what pleases you—by using your personal computer. The computer course was just as difficult as classroom study, but in the end I did succeed in learning English. I also gained many other things from it. It taught me the value of hard work and helped me understand another culture. No pains, no gains. My experience in learning English is one real life example of successful learning beyond the classroom walls. And I just keep getting better and better,proving that nothing succeeds like success. Make the best discovery of your life—studying by computers. As China has placed a new pioneer in space, you will be a new pioneer in the world of education. Welcome to a new age!

The 19th century is also the period in which trademarks and slogans were born. Manufacturers often advertise a product by associating it with a symbol, often a person or an animal, known as

a trademark; the trademark for a product may only be used by that particular company.

Slogans began to appear for the same reason. Manufacturers felt that just telling their customers about a product wasn't enough. They began to invent attractive phrases so people would associate a certain slogan with a certain product. If the slogan caught on, it would often become part of the American vocabulary. Most Americans know that \"it's the real thing\"goes

with Coca-cola; and ''Finger-Lickin good\" describes Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Slogans and trademarks are still widely used in modern advertising, but the approach has become more scientific. With hundreds of products being nearly identical, an advertiser must somehow make his product look different, even if it really isn't. It has been said that the two most important words in advertising are \"free\" and \"new.\" It is seldom possible to say that a product is free, but almost always possible to say that it is \"new,\" by adding a new ingredient or changing the package design. The middle-class American usually assumes that if a product is new, it is always better; so when people aren't buying a product, calling it new often does wonders for sales.

第八篇

It's nearly midnight in the big city. But the big city is not asleep. The streets are crowded with people. Some are leaving films, plays, and concerts. Some are stopping to look at the bright store windows, and some are waiting for buses and taxis. The restaurants are filled with customers, and the hotels are filled with tourists and businessmen who have come from all over the world.

Many people work at night in the big city.Bright lights are shining from the windows of the tall buildings, while in newspaper offices, writers are typing up their news stories and managers are bending over their copies. In hospitals, night nurses are making their usual rounds. In the fire stations an alarm is waking up the men to tell them a fire has just broken out somewhere in the big city.

第九篇

Britain has a variable climate. The weather changes so

frequently that it is difficult to forecast. It is not unusual for people to complain that the weathermen were wrong.Fortunately as Britain does not experience extreme weather conditions, it is never very cold or very hot. The temperature rarely rises above 32℃or falls below -10℃in winter.

Summers are generally cool, but due to global warming they are starting to get drier and hotter. Hot weather causes terrible jams on the roads as Britons rush to the coastal resorts.

Winters are generally mild, with the most frequent snowfalls in the Scottish Highlands, where it is possible to go skiing. If it does snow heavily in other parts of Britain, trains, buses and planes are usually late. People enjoy discussing the snow, complaining about the cold and comparing the weather conditions with previous winters!

Contrary to popular opinion, it does not rain all the time. There is certainly steady rainfall throughout most of the year, but the months from September to January are the wettest. Thanks

to the rain, Britain has a richly fertile countryside which is famous for its deep green color.

第十篇

It's generally believed that leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability. However, years of research have failed to produce consistent facts that there is any one type of \"natural leaders\". It seems that there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common; rather, almost any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group.

What is more, although it is commonly supposed that social groups have a single leader, research suggests that there are usually two different leadership roles that are held by different

individuals. Task-centered leadership is leadership that places importance on finishing tasks by a social group. Group members look to task-centered leaders to \"get things done\". Care-centered leadership, on the other hand, is leadership that puts importance on the feelings of a social group's members. Care-centered leaders are less concerned with the total goals of the group than with providing support to group members and attempting to reduce ill feelings and conflict among them.
