Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers urged, "Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiastic will take you further than any amount of experience." How right they were! Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends. "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm," wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang in there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, " I can do it! When others shout, "No, you can't." It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn't let up on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping. Author and poet Samuel Ullman once wrote, "Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power. If we cannot do what we love as the fulltime career, we can treat it as a part-time interest, like the head of state who paints, the nun who runs marathons, and the official who handcrafts furniture. We can't afford to waste tears on "might-have-bees" we need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after "what can be". We need to live each moment wholeheartedly, with our sense-finding pleasure in the fragrance of a back-yard garden, the crayoned picture of a six-year-old and the enchanging, beauty of a rainbow. It is such enthusiastic love of life that puts a sparkle in our eyes, a lift in our steps and smoothes the wrinkles from our souls. |

阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求). Americans usually consider themselves a friendly people. Their friendships, however, tend to be shorter and more casual than friendships among people from other cultures. It is not uncommon for Americans to have only one close friend during their lifetime, and consider other "friends" to be just social acquaintances. This attitude probably has something to do with American mobility and the fact that Americans do not like to be dependent on other people. They tend to " compartmentalize" friendships, having "friends at work", " friends on the softball team", "family friends", etc. Because the United States is a highly active society, full of movement and change, people always seem to be on the go. In this highly changed atmosphere, Americans can sometimes seem brusque or impatient. They want to get to know you as quickly as possible and then move on to something else. Sometimes, early on, they will ask you questions that you may feel are very personal. No insult in intended; the questions usually grow out of their genuine interest or curiosity, and their impatience to get to the heart of the matter. And the same goes for you. If you do not understand certain American behavior or you want to know more about them, do not hesitate to ask all about their country or anything "American" in which you may be interested. So much so in fact that you may become tried of listening. It doesn't matter, because Americans tend to be uncomfortable with silence during a conversation. They would rather talk about the weather or the latest sports scores, for example, than deal with silence. On the other hand, don't expect Americans to be knowledgeable about international geography or world affairs, unless those subjects directly involve the United States. Because the United states is not surrounded by many other nations, some Americans tend to ignore the rest of the world. 1.What is the main idea of the first paragraph?(no more than 15words) _______________________________________________________________ 2.The underlined phrase on the go means "______" __________________________________________________________________ 3.What would Americans prefer to talk about in order to carry on a comfortable conversation?( no more than 10 words) ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4.According to the customs mentioned in the passage, what would you do if you want to know something about America?(no more than 10 words) _______________________________________________________________ 5. why don't Americans know much about international geography or world affairs?( no more than 15 words) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
