    for 2 days, I gave in. She was right! I no longer felt worn out. I had a new, youthful zest (热情) for life and
    I've been OK-thanks to Royal Jelly!
    Lori on Dee. 25, 2010 10:27 PM
         When my mom Madeline was introduced to Royal Jelly, it affected my life, too! Mom gave me some of her
    fantastic Royal Jelly. Boy, things did turn around! I had more energy and stamina (耐力) and was finally able
    to keep up with high school and, eventually, college activities. Today, I'm a busy mom in my mid-thirties with

         Decision-making can be extremely difficult. Decision-making styles are significantly different. in different
    cultures.
         In any approach to a problem and in any negotiations, the Western world turns to the "I to you" approach
    while Japan, the "you to you" approach. The former means both sides present their arguments openly from
    their own point of view. Naturally, often comes a confrontation (冲突) situation, which Westerners are very
    skillful in dealing with. The latter is based on each side trying to understand the other person's point of view.
    Thus, the direction of the meeting is a mutual (相互的) attempt to reduce confrontation and achieve harmony.
         Besides, Western decision-making goes mostly from top management (管理人员) and often does not
    consult middle management or the worker. However, in Japan great consideration is given to the thoughts and
    opinions of everyone at all levels. Based on "bottom-up direction", ideas can be created at the lowest levels,
    travel upward through an organization and have an effect on the final decision.
         Difference in decision-making also comes from different communication styles. The Japanese business
    person works to achieve harmony, even if the deal falls through, and will spend whatever time is necessary to
    determine a "you to you" approach, communicating personal views only indirectly. They put a thorough job
    above the Western deadline approach. So the Japanese are thorough in their meetings. Thus Americans are
    often annoyed by the many meetings in many Japanese businesses. But where the American is pressing for a
    specific decision, the Japanese is trying to think up a rather broad direction.
         On the other hand, once a given agreement is made, it is the Japanese who sometimes wonder at the slow
    pace in which Westerners carry out the decision. The Japanese are eager to move forward and Westerners,
    perhaps, lag (落后) behind as they take the time for in-depth planning.
    1. A Japanese business bases its decision _____.
    A. on top-down direction
    B. on nothing but its workers' views
    C. on bottom-up direction
    D. only on its top leaders' opinions
    2. The text mainly tells us that Japan and the Western world _____.
    A. face great difficulty in making decisions
    B. are different in decision-making styles
    C. have all members contribute to a decision
    D. have two approaches:"I to you" and "you to I"
    3. Which of the following is TRUE of the Westerners?
    A. They carry out the decision once it is made.
    B. There are many meetings in their businesses.
    C. They work to achieve harmony in doing business.
    D. They are good at handling confrontation situation.
    4. The author's attitude towards Japanese decision-making is _____.
    A. positive
    B. critical (批评的)
    C. negative
    D. casual (无所谓的)

         Looking back on China's road to outer space, people can easily find it has not been very smooth. In the
    past years, Chinese people have made hard and determined efforts to realize the dream their ancestors had
    for thousands of years.
         After China's first satellite into the Earth's orbit in 1970 came four flights of unmanned Shenzhou missions
    (飞行) from 1999 to 2002. The country carried out its first one-piloted space flight in October, 2003, making
    China the third country in the world to have independent human spaceflight ability after the Soviet Union and
    the United States. Then came another breakthrough on October 12, 2005, when Shenzhou 6, China's second
    human spaceflight, was launched, with a crew of two astronauts. What's more, the landmark (具有里程碑意
    义的) spacewalk done by Zhai Zhigang, one of the three boarding Shenzhou 7, launched on Sept. 25, 2008,
    leads the country further in its space exploration.
         Meanwhile, China's moon exploration project, started in 2004, has also been progressing satisfactorily.
    Fifty years after the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the world's first man-made satellite, China's first
    circumlunar (绕月的) satellite Chang'e l took off on Oct. 24, 2007, which became another milestone in China's
    space achievements after the above-mentioned manned flights. Chang'e l was expected to fulfill four scientific
    goals, one of which was to probe (勘探) mineral elements on the moon, especially those not existent on Earth.
    It's said that the lunar regolith (月壤) is abundant in helium-3, a clean fuel that may support the Earth's energy
    demands for more than a century. Nearly 3 years later, Oct. 1, 2010 witnessed the blasting off of Chang'e 2,
    China's 2nd unmanned lunar probe, marking another step forward in moon exploration. This time the aim is to
    test the key techniques of Chang'e 3 and Chang'e 4, as a preparation for a soft lunar landing in the future.
         With great expectations, people all over the world are looking forward to China's greater space
    achievements.
    1. According to the text, which of the following is TRUE?
    A. China sent its first satellite into the Moon's orbit in 1970.
    B. China is the third country in Asia to make human spaceflight.
    C. By now, altogether 5 astronauts have made successful spaceflight by Shenzhou spaceship.
    D. The launching of Chang'e l became the third milestone in China's space achievements.

         A scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy
    and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few
    minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.
         By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those
    who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous,
    confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation (诱惑) early on were more likely to be lonely,
    easily frustrated (沮丧) and inflexible (固守己见的).
         Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ test. 
         The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists' concerns. But brain
    theory can't explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face
    of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul.
         Here comes the theory of Daniel Coleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting
    people's success, brain ability as measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once
    thought of as "character".
         EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together;
    how one's ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use.
    Among the ingredients (要素) for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the

         Having entered a hoarding school, Ada and her twin sister Rita determined to strike out independently.
    Although the sisters had requested rooms in different dorms, they were placed in the same, Ada on the eighth
    floor and Rita one floor higher. While Ada lived in harmony with her roommate, Rita was unhappy. She and
    her roommate had a quarrel over matters like the smallest thing-the time of lights being turned off-and the
    biggest thing-the arrangement of the furniture. Finally, they communicated primarily through short notes rather
    than by speaking. Rita kept running down along the stairs to ask Ada for help. Before long, the two wanted to
    live together again. Rita's roommate finally had to move out.
         Rita's ability to solve her problem by rooming with her twin is unusual, but the conflict she faced is not.
    Despite great efforts by many schools to make good roommate matches, unpleasant outcomes are common.
         Most conflicts between roommates develop from small, annoying differences. In extreme cases, the
    conflicts can lead to serious violence and affect roommates' psychological (心理的) health.
         Learning to tolerate a stranger's habits may teach students the art of compromise, hut the learning process
    is often painful.
         Many schools have started conflict solution programs to calm tensions that could build up like a volcano
    preparing to explode, resulting in physical violence. Some schools try to prevent conflicts by using
    computerized matching. Students are put together on the basis of their answers to housing form questions
    about preferred hours of study and sleep, and self-described tendencies toward tidiness or disorder. Parents
    sometimes weaken the process by taking the forms and filling in false data about their children's habits.
         If only conflicts between roommates could disappear!
