Of course, not all bosses are like that.The relationship you have with your boss can be a major factor in determining your rise up the career ladder. Your boss is not only your leader, he is also the person best equipped to help you do the job you are paid to do. He can inform you of company direction that may affect your professional development.Your boss also needs you to perform at your best in order to accomplish his objectives. He needs your feedback in order to provide realistic and useful reports to upper management. But how does this help you establish a meaningful working relationship with your boss?The key is communication. Learn and understand his goals and priorities (优先的事). Observe and understand your boss’s work style. If he has not been clear with his expectations, ask! Likewise, ask for feedback and accept criticism gracefully. And if he understands that you do not view your job as just something to fill the hours between 9 and 5, he may be more likely to help you.In short, getting along with your boss requires getting to know his likes and dislikes and learning to work with his personality and management style.31.

新概念英语（第二版第四册）新概念英语Lesson57-第四册笔记新版
新概念英语（第⼆版第四册）新概念英语Lesson 57新概念英语Lesson 57 Of Men and Galaxies⼈和星系In man's early days, competition with other creatures musthave been critical. But this phase of our development is nowfinished. Indeed, we lack practice and experience nowadays indealing with primitive conditions. I am sure that, without modern weapons, I would make a very poor show of disputing the ownership of a cave with a bear, and in this I do not think that I stand alone. The last creature to compete with man was the mosquito. But even the mosquito has been subdued by attention to drainage and by chemical sprays.Competition between ourselves, person against person, community against community, still persists, however; and it is as fierce as it ever was.But the competition of man against man is not the simple process envisioned in biology. It is not a simple competition for a fixed amount of food determined by the physical environment, because the environment that determines our evolution is no longer essentially physical. Our environment is chiefly conditioned by the things we believe. Morocco and California are bits of the Earth in very similar latitudes, both on the west coasts of continents with similar climates, and probably with rather similar natural resources. Yet their present development is wholly different, not so much because of different people even, but because of the different thoughts that exist in the minds of their inhabitants. This is the point I wish to emphasize. The most important factor in our environment is the state of our own minds.It is well known that where the white man has invaded a primitive culture the most destructive effects have come not from physical weapons but from ideas. Ideas are dangerous. The Holy office knew this full well when it caused heretics to be burned in days gone by. Indeed, the concept of free speech only exists in our modem society because when you are inside a community you are conditioned by the conventions of the community to such a degree that it is very difficult to conceive of anything really destructive. It is only someone looking on from outside that can inject the dangerous thoughts. I do not doubt that it would be possible to inject ideas into the modern world that would utterly destroy us. I would like to give you an example, but fortunately I cannotdo so. Perhaps it will suffice to mention the nuclear bomb. Imagine the effect on a reasonably advanced technological society, one that still does not possess the bomb, of making it aware of the possibility, of supplying sufficient details to enable the thing to be constructed. Twenty or thirty pages of information handed to any of the major world powers around the year 1925 would have been sufficient to change the course of world history. It is a strange thought, but I believe a correct one, that twenty or thirty pages of ideas and information would be capable of turning thepresent-day world upside down, or even destroying it. I have often tried to conceive of what those pages might contain, but of course I cannot do so because I am a prisoner of the present-day world, just as all of you are. We cannot think outside the particular patterns that our brains are conditioned - 147 –⽂字录⼊：zhangyheng 整理发布：kaiziliu新概念英语（第⼆版第四册）新概念英语Lesson 57to, or, to be more accurate, we can think only a very little way outside, and then only if we are very original.New words and expressions ⽣词短语dispute v. 争夺latitude n. 纬度mosquito n. 蚊⼦ heretic n. 异教徒，异端邪说subdue v. 征服conceive v. 想象drainage n. 下⽔系统suffice v. ⾜够envision n. 预想nuclear adj. 原⼦弹的Morocco n. 摩洛哥 original adj. 有独到见解的1．Dispute 争夺，很有新意。

翻译三级笔译实务分类模拟题5(总分：25.00，做题时间：90分钟)一、English Chinese Translation(总题数：5，分数：25.00)In the early days of the settlement of Australia, enterprising settlers unwisely introduced the European rabbit. This rabbit had no natural enemies in the Antipodes, so that it multiplied with that promiscuous abandon characteristic of rabbits. 1 It overran a whole continent. It caused deva station by burrowing and by devouring the herbage which might have maintained millions of sheep and cattle. Scientists discovered that this particular variety of rabbit (and apparently no other animal) was susceptible to a fatal virus disease, myxomatosis. By infecting animals and letting them loose in the burrows, local epidemics of this disease could be created. 2 Later it was found that there was a type of mosquito which acted as the carrier of this disease and passed it on to the rabbits. So while the rest of the world was trying to get rid of mosquitoes, Australia was encouraging this one. 3 It effectively spread the disease all over the continent and drastically reduced the rabbit population. It later became apparent that rabbits were developing a degree of resistance to this disease, so that the rabbit population was unlikely to be completely exterminated. There were hopes, however, that the problem of the rabbit would become manageable.4 Ironically, Europe, which had bequeathed the rabbit as a pest to Australia, acquired this man-made disease as a pestilence. A French physician decided to get rid of the wild rabbits on his own estate and introduced myxomatosis. It did not, however, remain within the confines of his estate.5 It spread through France, where wild rabbits are not generally regarded as a pest but as a sport and a useful food supply, and it spread to Britain where wild rabbits are regarded as a pest but where domesticated rabbits, equally susceptible to the disease, are the basis of a profitable fur industry. The question became one of whether Man could control the disease he had invented.（分数：5.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________正确答案：()解析：欧洲兔子遍布整个澳洲。

口语考试-辩论
1.Online social networks improve our lives.With the development of society and technology, the methods we communicate with others have a big change .we abandoned the original writing letters,and telephone, most of us communicate with each other by Internet. In America and Europe ,they use twiter, msn and facebook. In china ,we have qq ,microblog,and . undeniable, those online social networks makes it convenient and efficient to exchange information. but I still hold the idea that they do not improve our lives so much and they even do harm to our life..First, we would like to log in QQ to chat with friends and exanmine the fresh news of them。
But I don’t think it makes you keep in good touch with them. For example, today is the birthday of one of your best friends. You have 3 choices, give him a QQ message, give him a phonecall and send him a letter or greeting card .which do you think is the best way to express your greetings?Absolutely ,the last..Second, many of us waste a lot of time on qq and microblog,I think it’s not right. Especially for us. We are the post graduates of Information Techlogy. We should try to study and develop the techlogy or software but not waste time on them.. As you know, Facebook is invented by a Havord undergraduate. If someone is busy with his work or his major ,he wouldn’t spend much time chating .2.Technological progress is the most important factor in human development.After the Industrial Revolution, we remark the world widely an deeply…the productivity is highly developed ,everyone recognizes the power of technology…But,we must realize that Science and Technology must serve human beings to make us live a better life…so, the one who hold the technology should be virtuous. The morality is the most important factor in human development…the hard drugs,the sewer oil and the poisonous powdered milk are all invented by the highly-educated with the latest technology…by this means ,the techmology is not severing us but damaging us.3.Should the media have complete freedom in reporting?Media plays a very important role in promoting the dissemination of information.The world is becoming smaller. When something happens in one part of the world, it will have a response in the world as a whole. Especially in Economic ,science ,politic and about wars or disasters.But we don’t think they should have complete freedom in reporting.First, it depends on the reporter’s motivation. The media’s duty is to advertise the truth, love and beauty…but not violence, dishonsy. And they should not instigate the people to be against the government or something like that. .They should not exposure the others’ secrets to get public’s attention.Second, they should report the news true and impersonally. .they shouldn’t guide the public to hold the same opinion with them.4.Should environment protection come before economic success?After the industrial Revolution, the economic has been highly developed, and our life have a enormous improvement..but the price is ,the environment has suffered the pollution to some degree…we enjoyed the advantage of economic development and at the same time, we suffered the damage of polluted air ,water and food…some of us think environment protection is more important than economic success, but in our opinion.. We should use the method of development to deal with the troubles emerge in development。

Is degree the most important factor in one’s career?
The degree one receives after graduating from a university cannot guarantee one a place in the job market, not to mention if the economy is facing a downturn. The degree just reflects that one has the certified ability in a particular field of knowledge. There are several other factors that have to be considered.
First of all, what firms and corporations look for nowadays is emotional intelligence (EQ). The ability of a worker to cooperate and relate well with his colleagues is very important. He has to communicate well with fellow workers, learn to keep an open mind to accept feedback and comments for self-improvement and share skills with them. Companies appreciate such workers because they would not be faced with strained work relations which may in turn lead to a great deal of unhappiness. Good interpersonal skills also make things easier during teamwork because everyone is able to communicate effectively.
Creativity is another important factor. Companies constantly want fresh and new ideas for proposals and reports. Office workers have to improve on this aspect if they want to climb the corporate ladder. Even the self-employed have to be creative in their marketing techniques to keep up with the ever-changing tactics employed by other firms. The people in the advertising industry constantly come up with new concepts because creativity determines their success.
Lastly, I would consider linguistic abilities to be an important factor. The ability to speak well and being bilingual helps especially when China's markets and economy are opening up fast. Being able to converse in different languages and dialects will help expand one's career as one is able to communicate effectively and to network with partners in foreign countries.
One's character or personality also counts in one's career today.
Brains are certainly not all that count in one's career. Of course, I am not implying that they are not necessary, but they have become a pre-requisite for entering a job market and are no longer a bonus. One has to learn to cultivate the right qualities to succeed in a career with a brighter future.。
