I wrote a business plan the other day. I gave it to my husband for suggestions. After reading
it, he said, "I don't think this is up to your usual standards. " I said. "I need more information. What doesn't work?" He said he wasn't sure. I then took the letter and reread it.
He asked. "How about if I look at it again and make notes between the space?" I agreed. A half hour later I looked at his notes and told him he didn't understand the situation and what I really wanted to express. He shrugged (耸肩) and said OK, I took the letter and went back to my computer and again revised. As I was writing, I could see my letter improving based on his suggestions. When I finished, I proudly handed the letter back to my husband. He read it for the third time and said "It's
still not right but I couldn't exactly say. " I was a little annoyed and then told him I was the writer and I had seen some goofy letters he sent out. But I picked up my letter and went back to the computer.
After an hour of revisions. I went back to my husband apologetically with letter in hand. I told him I was sorry for what I'd said and asked if he would please read the letter again because I did value his contribution. Being a very patient and kind-hearted fellow, he once again read my letter and declared that it was fine.
This all leads me to the following; When you ask for advice on a project, be appreciative and grateful. Understand that the advice and suggestions you get may be negative. Understand that it may mean more work for you. And keep in mind that the final responsibility for the project is still yours. So be modest and thankful even if he or she has noted some problems.

Taking a shower is relaxing. You can hum a song, daydream or think about nothing, leaving the real world behind you. But do you know that showering can also benefit your mind?
A racarch by Scott Barry Kaufman, a psychologist from Yale University in the US interviewed over 3,000 people around the world. It turned out that nearly two-thirds of the interviewees said they had experienced new ideas in the shower and were more likely to have them in the shower than at work.
So why does a simple shower have such magic power? Science can explain it.
Showering can help to raise our level of dopamine, a hormone
(荷尔蒙) closely related to our creativity. "People vary in terms of their level of creativity according to the activity of dopamine ", explained Alice Flaherty. a famous American neuroscientist. "Taking a warm shower can make us feel relaxed and therefore make the dopamine level rise and bring 'Aha!' moment to us."
Besides the chemical changes, showering may give you a break from what
feel you have been stuck with. Especially when you have thought hard all day about a problem, jumping into the shower can keep you from the outside world so that you can focus on your inner feelings and memories. In this way, according to American psychologist Shelley H. Carson, author of Your Creative Brain, "a showering hour may turn into an 'incubation (孵化) period' for your ideas. "
Compared with sitting in front of a computer, taking a shower is something we do less frequently in our daily life. When showering, we get a fresh experience with the change of location, temperature and humidity. "New and unexpected experiences can lead to positive changes in thinking," explained Kaufman. "Getting off the couch and jumping in the shower may create a distance and force you to think from a new point of view. "
Showering allows us to enjoy the creative juices of our minds, but it needn't just be the bathroom where you get your inspiration. For instance, Gertrude Stein, a female American writer and poet, got new ideas by driving around a farm and stopping at different cows until she found the one that most inspired her. So try to create your own way to free your mind. whether it's a walk near the ocean. a country drive or reading a book at home.
28.According to the article, what changes can showering cause?
A. Bringing the terrible moment to us.
B. Increasing the level of dopamine.
C. Leading to boredom or tiredness.
D. Setting the creative part of the brain free.
29. If one has focused on something all day, showering can help .
A. turn one's attention inwards
B. draw one's attention to the outside world
C. one make an important breakthrough
D. many chemical changes to take place
30. It can be inferred from the article that .
A. changes in the frequency of an action can create a new perspective
B. it is a good idea to talk with others about their sources of inspiration
C. our lives might feel longer and fuller if we frequently try new things
D. it is helpful to try something different rather than stay focused on a difficult task
31. The example of Gertrude Stein in the last paragraph is used to .
A. encourage readers to find their own ways of getting inspiration
B. point out to readers that it's hard to find inspiration
C. explain how to link inspiration with readers' daily lives
D. show that creativity often comes from strange places
D
Telecommuting(电子交通 )-substituting the computer for the trip to the job-has been a
solution to all kinds of problems related to office work.
For workers it promises freedom from the office, less time wasted in traffic, and help with child-care conflicts. For management, telecommuting helps keep high performers on board, minimizes tardiness (工作拖拉) and absenteeism (旷工) by eliminating commutes, allows periods of solitude for high-concentration tasks, and provides scheduling flexibility.
In some areas, such as Southern California and Seattle. Washington，local governments are encouraging companies to start telecommuting programs in order to reduce rush-hour traffic jams and improve air quality.
But these benefits do not come easily. Making a telecommuting program work requires careful planning and an understanding of the differences between telecommuting realities and popular images.
Many workers are seduced by rosy illusions (幻想) of life as a telecommuter. A computer programmer from New York City moves to the quiet Adirondack Mountains and stays in contact with her office via computer. A manager comes in to his office three days a week and works at home the other two. An accountant stays home to care for her sick child.
These are powerful images，but they are a limited reflection of reality. Telecommuting workers soon learn that it is almost impossible to concentrate on work and care for a young child at the same time. Before a certain ago, young children cannot recognize much less respect, the necessary boundaries between work and family. Additional child support is necessary if the parent is to get any work done.
Management. too, must separate the myth from the reality. Although the media has paid a great deal of attention to telecommuting, in most cases, it is the employee's situation, not the availability of technology that makes a telecommuting arrangement.
That is partly why, despite the widespread press coverage (报道), the number of companies with work-at-home programs or policy guidelines remains small.
32. In theory, the benefits that telecommuting brings don't include .
A. looking after children B. improving air quality
C. providing flexible schedule D. increasing the salary
33. The underlined word "seduced" probably means .
A. cautious B. surprised C. curious D. confused
34. In reality. telecommuting workers learn that .
A. young children may help them with their work
B. young children may disturb them to work
C. they can finish their work more efficiently
D. they can balance their work and family more easily
35. What really makes telecommuting possible in most cases?
A. The widespread press coverage.
B. The availability of technology.
C. The employee's situation.
D. Work-at-home programs or policy guidelines.
