What do they need in their work environment to improve their mentalwell-being? What are their fears and concerns, and how can I help them manage these fears and concerns? What are their values and goals?Help people build self-confidenceDuring my early years in management, I realized the great power of expectations. As I found, people largely lived up to my expectation of them. So I learned that if I want to build my business through my people, I have to build their own belief in their ability to achieve. This belief must be educated. If I want them to achieve more, I must help them build their trust in themselves first.Develop people’s recognition(认可)Whenever I speak and give advice to people, they tell me they don’t get enough recognition. Sad, isn’t it? But how much recognition they give to others? In fact, recognition could be developedby praising and appreciating each other in a team. Encourage everyone in your team to recognize achievements in others. Teach your team to ask for the opinions of others if they’re not receiving recognition.Encourage people to be creativeWe have created our life just the way we choose to have it, or at least the way we’ve settled for it. Those who have been told they are creative will probably use their creativity bravely. Otherswho haven’t had their creativity encouraged will mostly believe they are uncreative. I suggest you encourage your people to be creative and brave in trying out new ideas.Building Your Business, Building Your PeopleWhat an exciting thing to do—developing a successful business! 1 .Here are four ideas to keep in mind that can make a significant difference in a team:Understand your people2 .

They showed video recording of taekwondo matches to 42 experienced referees. One fighter wore blue and the other wore red. They then showed them the same recordings butdigitally manipulated the clothing to exchange the colors. 73 “If one competitor is strong and the other is weak, it won’t change the outcome of the fight,” said Norbert Hagemann, who led the study. “74 ”In 2004 scientists at Durham University also looked at how color influenced sporting competitiveness. They analyzed Olympic contest sports such as boxing, taekwondo, and freestyle wrestling and found that nearly 55% of which were won by the competitor in red.“75 ”said Robert Burton, one of the researchers.A.It is the color of fire and is often associated with energy, danger, strength, power, anddetermination.B.The fighters wearing red were given an average of 13 percent more points than when they woreblue.C.The study shows that football shirts from worldwide teams such as Arsenal, Liverpool, sellsuccessfully.D.It is reasonable that wearing red makes individuals feel more confident, although this hasn’t yetbeen tested.E.Researchers found that those who wear red tops, jackets or clothing score 10 percent more inany competition than if they were in another color.F.The findings could explain why Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal have been sosuccessful.G.But the closer the levels, the easier it is for the color to tip the scale.Keys: E F B G DExercise 4:Most people know that chocolate is made from cocoa and that the origins of chocolate can be traced back to Central and South America. 71 but how did chocolate go from being the foodof the gods to being the food of love?72 They established the first cocoa plantation and used the cocoa beans as the main ingredient in a dark, bitter drink that we would call “chocolate”. The Mayas believed that chocolate had mystical properties. 73 In fact, cocoa beans were used as a form of currency that was worth its weight in gold.Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortez was the first European explorer to realize coco’s commercial possibilities. 74 in 1529, Cortez returned Spain and introduced chocolate——as a drink mixed with sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon——to European society.It caught on, especially with the nobility.

Thefun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game. Friends compete against friends. 73 Colleagues against bosses.Big-name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little-known universities.This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, for many Americans, is an exciting experience. Two years ago, the little-known George Mason University was one of the final teams. 74College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves. 75 About $4 billion will be spent gambling on the event. Accordingto Media Life magazine, the event will bring in $500 million in advertising income this year, toppingthe post-season income of every US professional league, including that of the NBA.A.Husbands against wives.B.The players will go all out for the games.C.But that doesn’t mean money isn’t involved.D.College students will ignore piles of homework.E.People are willing to spend more money on watching it.F.It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April.G.Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.Keys: D F A G CExercise 6:Culture means any human behavior that is learned in human society.

Practically everything humans know, think, value, feel, and do is learned through taking part in a sociocultural system. 72 Here is one of the cases of children growing up apart from human society. In the province of Midnapore in India, the director of a children’s home was told by local villagers that there were “ghost” in the forest. Upon looking into the case, the director found that two children, one about eight years old and the other about six years old, appeared to have been living apack of wolves in the forest. 73 In his diary, the director describes his first view of Kamala (as the older child was named) and Amala ( the name given to the younger child):Kamala was a terrible-looking being, the head, a big ball of something covering the shoulders.74 Their eyes were bright and sharp, unlike human eyes. They were very fond of raw meat and raw milk. Gradually, as they got stronger, they began going on all fours, and afterwards began to run on all fours, just like squirrels.Children learn human language in the same way they learn other kinds of human behavior——by taking part in a cultural community. 75A.From this viewpoint, all human groups have a culture.B.Close at its heels there came another terrible creature exactly like the first, but smaller in size.C.Human beings can only develop human abilities by the local people.D.This statement is well supported by some well-written cases.E.These children were the ghosts described by the local people.F.Culture refers only to the high art and classical music of a particular society.G.They learn a certain human languages as well as certain kinds of human behavior through theirmembership in a certain cultural community.Keys: A D E B GExercise 7:We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. 71So, you have to give a speech and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you wantto say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”Cheer up! 72 Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. 73 Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief.74 And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking.

Will the driver move into the right, the left or the hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down.Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat.

When I finished answering, I said, “Now that we've finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?”After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper (蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?”____17____.Secondly, give them time to think. Studies have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer,____18____. When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers.Thirdly,____19____. Once you have a child in a science discussion, don't jump in with “That's right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “That's interesting” or coming up with more questions or ideas.Lastly,____20____. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass (放大镜), and they'll understand why you want them to wash before dinner.A. show; don't tellB. watch your languageC. no time for a child to thinkD. Never push a child to waitE. Helping them enjoy science can be easyF. children are always thinking without your telling them toG. This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours【精选真题03】（2022·蓉城高中教育联盟联考）They say that children learn languages the best. ___36___. We asked some of the polyglots (通晓多种语言的人) in TED’s Open Translation Project to share their secrets to mastering a foreign language. Several basic principles are as follows.Get real. Decide on a simple, achievable goal to start with so that you don’t feel confused. German translator Judith Matz suggests: “Pick up 50 words of a language and start using them on people — ___37___.”Play house with the language. The more you invite a foreign language into your daily life, the more your brain will consider it something useful and worth caring about. “Use every opportunity to get involved in the new language,” says Russian translator Olga Dmitrochenkova. ___38___, read kids’ books written in it, watch subtitled TED and TEDx talks, or live-narrate parts of your day to an imaginary foreign friend.___39___. Dmitrochenkova has a great idea: “A funny thing like resetting the language on your phone can help you learn new words right away,” she says. Ditto for changing the language on your browser (浏览器). Or youcan seek out more structured learning opportunities online. Dutch translator Els De Keyser recommends Duolinguo for its gamified (游戏化) approach to grammar, and Anki for memorizing vocabulary with its “intelligent” flashcards...Make new friends. ___40___ — it will teach you to naturally express your thoughts, instead of mentally translating each sentence before you say it. Find native speakers near you. Or search for foreign penpals or set up a language connection online, where two volunteers help one another practice their own languages.A. Let technology help you outB. and look up them in the dictionaryC. Do not worry about making mistakesD. and then slowly start picking up grammarE. Communicating in the new language is keyF. But that doesn’t mean that adults should give upG. Stick every object in your house in this language【精选真题04】（2022·开封五校联考）Most people want to get healthier and look younger yet they can’ t seem to find the time for it.___16___ However, it does require a small amount of commitment and a big love for being refreshed. Here are some tips for healthy living:● Enjoy a glass of water first thing in the morning. If you haven’ t got time for anything else in the morning, make time to drink a big glass of water. ___17___ To refresh our cells, we need to supply them with water and oxygen. Drink a glass of water and within a week you will begin to feel less tired.● Grab a few fresh fruits on your way out. Wherever you are going—whether it is a walk or drive to the supermarket or on your way to a meeting—pick up one or two fruits and eat them. If you leave for work in the morning and don’t return until evening, take a few fruits and eat them throughout the day. ___18___● Do deep breathing. When you’ve got time—at your desk, driving the car, cooking food—do some deep breathing. Exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide is one of the best things we can do for our blood and cells.●___19___ If you work in an office, get up every 30 minutes and go for a walk. If you have an office with stairs, run up and down the stairs every couple of hours. Get your blood flowing and your muscles moving.● Eat a handful of nuts. Get your favorite selection of nuts before you leave home for work and have a big handful of them at around 3 pm. ___20___A. Exercise on the go.B. Watch out for travel.C. It’ s always hard at the beginning.D. We lose a lot of oxygen through the night.E. Actually, healthy living doesn’t have to be hard.F. This helps to increase afternoon energy and productivity.G.

专题05 阅读理解七选五距离高考还有一段时间，不少有经验的老师都会提醒考生，愈是临近高考，能否咬紧牙关、学会自我调节，态度是否主动积极，安排是否科学合理，能不能保持良好的心态、以饱满的情绪迎接挑战，其效果往往大不一样。
以下是本人从事10多年教学经验总结出的以下学习资料，希望可以帮助大家提高答题的正确率，希望对你有所帮助，有志者事竟成！养成良好的答题习惯，是决定高考英语成败的决定性因素之一。
做题前，要认真阅读题目要求、题干和选项，并对答案内容作出合理预测;答题时，切忌跟着感觉走，最好按照题目序号来做，不会的或存在疑问的，要做好标记，要善于发现，找到题目的题眼所在，规范答题，书写工整;答题完毕时，要认真检查，查漏补缺，纠正错误。
总之，在最后的复习阶段，学生们不要加大练习量。
在这个时候，学生要尽快找到适合自己的答题方式，最重要的是以平常心去面对考试。
英语最后的复习要树立信心，考试的时候遇到难题要想“别人也难”，遇到容易的则要想“细心审题”。
越到最后，考生越要回归基础，单词最好再梳理一遍，这样有利于提高阅读理解的效率。
另附高考复习方法和考前30天冲刺复习方法。
题型简介七选五作为高考英语全国卷中的一道必考和重点题型，考查以说明文为主，内容、主题多是社会生活和文化科技；题型以段中句为主，段首句和段尾句为辅。
主要考查考生的逻辑能力,包括整篇语言逻辑和句与句之间上下文逻辑关系的判断;备选答案中含有两个干扰选项,这两个干扰选项在表面上看往往与正确答案有一定的相关性,这给考生解题带来很大的困难；文章篇幅较长，解题时间有限，一旦出错，往往一错错一串，是特别容易丢分的题型。
与完形填空相比,补全短文空缺的是5个句子，无法从句子层面寻找线索，所以分析语篇结构和理清空格与上下文之间的逻辑关系显得异常重要。
可以说，此题型是对语言能力和阅读理解能力的综合测试，因此在要求上远远高于这两种题型。
考生有必要对这类题型的答题思路多练习，以提高自己在这个部分的应试能力。

Lack of respect for a parent's belongings is a violation of personal boundaries. ________ And never borrow things without asking first.● Punctuality .________Therefore, always be on time. For teenagers, showing up on time means coming home by curfew（宵禁）.Adult children should show up on time for family dinners or events, or to pick a parent up for a medical appointment. Call if you're going to be late because parents worry about children, no matter their age.● ________Remembering birthdays, anniversaries and other special days is a sign that you honor your parents. Make plans to take them to lunch or dinner or bake a cake or cookies. Most parents don't expect expensive gifts, but a handmade gift is always appreciated .A phone call from a grownchild who lives too far for a visit is a welcome sign of respect.● Be kind.Kind words and affection are simple ways to show respect.

Your interests are increasing.________Here is the challenge: Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers that are all out in that world. These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts can't be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.For example, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted or hungry. A good time to talk is when you're all relaxed. Timing is everything if the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you'd better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation for now.________ Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you're listening. ________ Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each others' feelings can disagree without getting things ugly.________ How do you build trust? Trust comes by actually doing what you say you're going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships.

You are more likely to get along with your parents and have more independence if your parents believe in you.（九）A white elephant gift exchange is a popular holiday party game in, the United States. Generally, the party needs at least six participants, and' the larger the group: is, the more entertaining the game will be________But it can result in heated competitions between players trying to get the gifts.________Sometimes, the rule is that the item must be previously owned, which means that you can exchange an unwanted item or trinket(小装饰品) with your friends. But sometimes you can buy a new but inexpensive item just for the party.Every participant is expected to bring one wrapped(包装好的) gift. A white elephant gift is usually something useless or inconvenient________ Guests are asked to wrap them nicely and leave no identifying markings on the presents.To start the game, a participant must act as the first player to choose a gift; this can be decided randomly or by picking numbers out of a hat________As for the next player?

This includes your beliefs about your inner qualities and how you think others see you. 35 Someone can develop low self-esteem even when they are highly functional and greatly skilled. Understanding this mysterious emotional currency might be the key to unlocking your own self-worth.People with healthy self-esteem don't need to boast about themselves to others. People with low self-esteem may tell you how much everyone loves them, what a great job they do at work, and how amazing they are at pretty everything under the sun even though they really wonder if it's true. People may see them as obnoxious or "full of themselves". 36 They are not shy about sharing ideas, including constructive criticisms of others. They also take care of themselves without second-guessing or apologizing. They are the people who we say seem "sure of themselves".If you're starting to think you may have low self-esteem, you can work on the way you talk to yourself. When you turn off negative self-talk, you can open the floor to positive reinforcements and access the courage to show different sides of yourself. It isn't going to feel good at first, though. Keep going until it becomes less and less and maybe even a few awkward laughs in the mirror may help. 37However, in serious cases of low or even non-existent self-esteem, you may want to call in a professional or a specialist. Good mental health is important, and professionals doing psychotherapy do not pass judgement or givecorrections. 38 It is the best way to get at the roots of your real self-esteem problems.39 It will take some work but your entire life—from your relationships to your body image toyour work habits—will be touched with the kind of power that only comes from someone believing in themselves. This is the hardest part, and the greatest leap. With some changes and support, you can improve your self-esteem and see how everything else changes as a result.A. Self-esteem is not always rooted in reality, though.B. You have the power to shape a new self-perceptionC. This encourages you to speak openly without worry.D. The real test of character is whether they can learn from their mistakesE. Self-esteem refers to a person's overall sense of his or her value or worth.F. People with a healthy level of self-esteem present themselves with a casual confidence.G. With some practice and persistence, you will win this internal struggle to see your self-worth.（2022北京市西城区高三期末）Sometimes in our life we face this problem: loved ones as well as strangers annoying us. At home, we’ve had to put up with children screaming during online meetings, and family members on the computer all the time. 35Kindness seems like a distant memory. The ability to live peacefully with annoying housemates or neighbors seems more difficult than ever. 36 If we take kindness as a skill, making it a daily practice,it will come easier over time.37 Loving Kindness Meditation (默想) (LKM), which dates back to the time of its roots to early Buddhism, helps us find sympathy for one another even during trying times. The meditation asks us to send thoughts of loving kindness to loved ones, then to acquaint ances (people you don’t know very well) and finallyto challenging people. Over time, our unkind thoughts are replaced with more open, accepting ones. Anger is replaced by love, or at least kindness.Donald Altman, a psychotherapist from Portland, Oregon, says LKM helps us recognize we are all weak and have been hurt. 38So how? To begin with, Altman suggests finding a quiet place to sit. He says to then imagine a favorite family member or friend sending you the words, “May you be well, happy and at peace.” After a few minutes, direct the words at yourself, “May I be well, happy and at peace.” 39 Replace the “I” with the name ofa teacher or coach, then a family member or friend, then an acquaintance, and finally an unfriendly person in your life. End the meditation by spreading the blessing to all living beings.Indeed, we should find our own way toward LKM—but only if we are prepared to access its benefits and extend them to anyone who may need them.The good news is that it isn’t lost.A.Luckily, we can look to ancient disciplines for guidance.B.At work, we’ve had to face the added pressure these demanding jobs create.C.Then, extend the blessing to other people, in order of decreasing fondness.D.For that reason, we could all benefit f rom love’s warm and comforting blessing.E.You can combine the words with breathing, repeating a phrase of love for yourself.F.Outside, we’ve encountered drivers speeding on busy roads and passengers talking loudly on thesubway.（2022北京市朝阳区高三期末）Humans start developing a sense of humour as early as six weeks old, when babies begin to laugh and smile in response to stimuli ( 刺激物). Laughter and humour provide psychological scientists with rich resources for studying human psychology.Theories focusing on the evolution of laughter point to it as an important adaptation for social communication. For example, in 1950, a U. S. sound engineer started recording his own ‘laugh tracks’. These were intended to help people at home feel like they were in a social situation. He even recorded various types of laughter. 35 _________ In one study, carried out in 2016 at the university of California, samples of laughter from pairs of English-speaking students were recorded and played to listeners from 24 diverse societies.36____________ On average, the results were remarkably consistent: worldwide, people’s guesses were correct approximately 60% of the time.Another study by researchers of Australian National University was based on the assumption that humour might provide a pause from dull situations in the workplace. 37_________ The researchers first asked the students to cross out every instance of the letter ‘e’ over two pages of text. The students then were randomly assigned to watch a video clip. Some watched a clip of the BBC comedy Mr. Bean, and others a factual video about the management profession.The students then completed a task requiring persistence in which they were asked to guess the potential performance of employees based on provided profiles, and were told that making 10 correct assessments in a row would lead to a win. 38__________ Students who had watched the Mr. Bean video ended up spending significantly more time working on the task, making twice as many predictions as the other group.39__________ Again, participants who watched the humorous video spent significantly more time working on this boring task and completed more questions correctly than students from the other group.Traditionally, individuals are advised to avoid things such as humour that may distract them from the accomplishment of task goals. However, humour actually helps relieve stress and facilitate social relationships. It is not only enjoyable but more importantly, energizing.A. Participants were asked whether the pairs were friends or strangers.B. This ‘mental break’ might facilitate the addition of mental reso urces.C. The researchers then had participants complete long multiplication questions by hand.D. A team made up of 30 psychological scientists played these recordings to different people.E. However, the software was programmed that it was impossible to achieve 10 correct answers.F. Researchers have also found different types of laughter serve as codes to complex human bonds.G.

It’s important to provide a workspace of their own where they can read books or just write a letter to their friends.●Location （位置）2 Kitchen and dining room are not so well suited for regular study, since books and pens get in the way of the day-to-day uses of those areas.

They showed video recording of taekwondo matches to 42 experienced referees. One fighter wore blue and the other wore red. They then showed them the same recordings but digitally manipulated the clothing to exchange the colors. 3 “If one competitor is strong and the other is weak, it won’t change the outcome of the fight,” said Norbert Hagemann, who led the study. “ 4 ”In 2004 scientists at Durham University also looked at how color influenced sporting competitiveness.
