26、 Giving advice is not one of the easiest tasks. You can be put under a lot of pressure especially if you generally give bad advice. With these tips, you'll be a professor at giving good advice!
【1】Every situation is unique, so never assume you know all you need to know about a problem. Listen carefully to the person who wants advice, and learn as much as possible about this situation.
Put yourself in the advisee's shoes. 【2】If you've been in a similar situation, think about what you learned, but don't rely solely on your experiences to give advice—imagine that you are giving yourself advice for the unique circumstances(情况) that the other person is facing.
【3】If you can have a few hours to think about the problem and possible solutions, take that time to really think about every possible solution. You could even take the opportunity to ask someone who's more knowledgeable for advice.
Think about the results of taking your advice and not taking your advice. If there's no obvious difference between the results, your advice might not be bad, but it's not useful either. 【4】
Be honest. If your advised course of action has possible problems, tell the person about them. 【5】Your goal should not be to blindly lead the person, but rather to help him or her make a good decision, so don't act like a salesman.
A.Listen to the person asking you for advice.
B.Take time to think about the issue if you can.
C.Try to imagine yourself in the other person's situation.
D.Understand that the person may not take your advice.
E.If your advice leads to a worse result, your advice probably is bad.
F.You can never be sure that your advice is really the best for him or her.
G.Be honest about this fact if you don't really feel knowledgeable enough about the problem.
27、Anyone who cares about what schools and colleges teach and how their students learn will be interested in the memoir (回忆录) of Ralph W. Tyler, who is one of the most famous men in American education.
Born in Chicago in 1902, brought up and schooled in Nebraska, the 19-year-old college graduate Ralph Tyler became hooked on teaching while teaching as a science teacher in South Dakota and changed his major from medicine to education.
Graduate work at the University of Chicago found him connected with honorable educators Charles Judd and W. W. Charters, whose ideas of teaching and testing had an effect on his later work. In 1927, he became a teacher of Ohio State University where he further developed a new method of testing.
Tyler became well-known nationally in 1938, when he carried his work with the Eight-Year Study from Ohio State University to the University of Chicago at the invitation of Robed Hutchins.
Tyler was the first director of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford, a position he held for fourteen years. There, he firmly believed that researchers should be free to seek an independent spirit in their work.
Although Tyler officially retired (退休) in 1967, he never actually retired. He served on a long list of educational organizations in the United States and abroad. Even in his 80s he traveled across the country to advise teachers and management people on how to set objectives (目标) that develop the best teaching and learning within their schools.
【1】Who are most probably interested in Ralph W. Tyler’s memoir?
A.Top managers.
B.Language learners.
C.Serious educators.
D.Science researchers.
【2】The words “hooked on teaching” underlined in Paragraph 2 probably mean ______.
A.attracted to teaching
B.tired of teaching
C.satisfied with teaching
D.unhappy about teaching
【3】Where did Tyler work as the leader of a research center for over 10 years?
A.The University of Chicago.
B.Stanford University.
C.Ohio State University.
D.Nebraska University.
【4】Tyler is said to have never actually retired because _________.
A.he developed a new method of testing
B.he called for free spirit in research
C.he was still active in giving advice
D.he still led the Eight-Year Study
28、 As a child, Emily Blunt had a stutter(结巴) that made it difficult for her to even say her own name. “I started noticing it at 6 or 7,” the London-born actress says. “My grandfather, my uncle and my cousin all stutter. It feels like you’ve got this pretender living in your body.” After a teacher noticed her stutter disappeared whenever she would start to play energetically, he suggested she try performing for the school play. She found that the more she lost herself in characters, the less uncomfortably nervous she felt and the less she would stutter.
Now the star aims to help kids going through the same thing by working with the American Institute for Stuttering. “They understand that how these kids relate to their stutter is usually the issue,” says Blunt. “You’ve got to fall in love with the fact that you’ve got a stutter to accept it. But it’s not all of you. Everyone’s got something-and this is just your thing.”
Blunt’s personal experience has inspired her to help girls everywhere, regardless of the trouble they may face. The A Quiet Place Part II and Jungle Cruise star also supports Malala Fund, created by Nobel Prize winner Malala Yousafzai to break down the barriers preventing more than 130 million girls worldwide from receiving an education. “She’s the most moving, impressive person I’ve ever met,” Blunt says. “What she says is true: When women are given more power in communities, those communities develop quickly and successfully. I want to support Malala until the day I die.”
Giving back is a quality Blunt and husband John Krasinski also hope to pass on to their daughters Hazel, 6, and Violet, 3. “Empathy is highly thought of in our house,” Blunt says. “We tell them all the time, ‘Be brave, be kind.’ ”
【1】What challenge did Emily Blunt have to take when young?
A.Learning at school. B.Performing in a play.
C.Speaking fluently. D.Working with others.
【2】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.People need to accept who they are. B.Everyone’s got something in the body.
C.It’s a fact that many kids have got a stutter. D.Blunt admitted the fact that she had a stutter.
【3】Why did Blunt aim to help girls worldwide?
A.She starred in two films successfully. B.Her husband inspired her to give back.
C.Her daughter suffered from the same disease. D.Her own experience encouraged her to do so.
【4】What’s the best title for the text?
A.A London-born Actress B.Passing on the Tradition
C.Giving Girls a Voice D.Living with a Stutter
29、Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Are you still disappointed at your failure? Stop sighing, and change your mental model.
Change your view on “success” and” failure”.
Most people have the following mental model: SUCCESS—YOU—FAILURE. 【1】but what if you change that model? YOU—FAILURE—SUCCESS. Instead of for viewing failure as something to be avoided, turn it into a “steppingstone” on the path to success
Increase your failure rate.
If it is true that the more we fail ,the more we succeed then your immediate goal should be to intentionally increase your failure rate! 【2】Intentionally increasing failure means the more people tell you “no”, the closer you will get to ultimate success.
Set “No” goals.
【3】But how about setting goals for failure? The exciting aspect is how it keeps people “in the game ”when they are “red hot”. If all you have is “yes” goals and then you slow down or quit when you are successful, the hot steak end .But if you keep going when you get the “yeses” of life, the sky is the limit
【4】
If the key to success is to increase our failures, then it makes sense to celebrate our setbacks. Yes, you heard right: if someone turns you down, celebrate it! Instead of mentally punishing yourself for not succeeding, buy yourself ice cream and say ,”I am one step closer to success ! ”Stop letting failure have a negative impact on your thoughts and emotions.
A.See courage as a muscle
B.Celebrate your failures.
C.Everyone sets success goals
D.With this thought in mind, you are succeeding even when you fail
E.All the courage you need to achieve success is already in you ,just waiting for you to take action
F.They see themselves in the middle, and do everything they can to move toward success and away from failure
