It is easy to
get
things
wrong
if you move to live in a new country with different culture from your own. You may find
yourself facing a whole new set of
expectations
about the proper way to behave. Go out to
dine
with your new friends
and you may find yourself having to
adopt
a whole new set of table manners. Then there is the problem of who is
responsible for paying for the meal. This may not be immediately
apparent
. In some cultures friends share the cost
equally at the end of the meal, in others the
preference
is for friends to take turns
,repaying
one meal with another at
a later date.
Working out
the details of local customs like these may take time, but,
in my view
, it is well worth the
effort if you want to avoid misunderstandings.

My name is Wilbur Tennant and I'm a farmer. You can't imagine what a terrible

nightmare
I have had to live
through. It all started when I discovered my cows
staggering
all over the place. And then they began dying. Well, I
thought I knew who was
responsible
: Dupont, the
chemical
company. It was
disposing of
poisonous waste near a river
that runs through my farm.
Nevertheless
,the company
denied
it and claimed it was all my fault! It was not until I was
lucky enough to get a top lawyer to
represent
me that I had any success. He took the company to
court
and eventually
I was able to reach a(n) s
ettlement
with Dupont for a large sum of money. As what it had done was clearly
in violation
of
the law, Dupont also found itself in trouble with the Environmental Protection Agency.

Can you
recall
a time when the area where you live was very different from what it is today?Given the
dramatic

changes that

China has
passed through
in recent years, that would not be

surprising. Whole
neighborhoods
have
been transformed. New

construction has meant that the housing stock has improved in size and quality. As a result
of redevelopment many people have been

able to
move out
of old housing into new accommodation that

offers
better amenities,
boosting
their standard of living. This is

naturally to be welcomed, but the change has not been
without
some
costs.
As
whole
areas
of
traditional
low

rise
housing
have
been

laid
low

to
make,
way
for
high
-
rise
apartments, opportunities for neighbors to casually
hang around
with each other have frequently declined.

Those
in

of
organizations
naturally
want
to
recruit
the
best
candidates.
But
just
what
attributes

are
managers
looking
for
in
a
potential
employee?
What
do
they
set
out
to
assess

in
an
interview?
One
thing
is
the
capacity to quickly
come up with
answers when confronted with problems, the ability to think up solutions
on the fly
.
Another is the ability to combine self
-
confidence with a degree of h
umility
that will enable you to take advice gladly
and learn from your mistakes. If you are applying for a post because you are unhappy with your current employer,
beware
of saying negative things about them. Focus on the positive things the future has to offer,
as opposed to
the

2
negative
aspects
of
your
present
situation.
In
a(n)
increasingly

competitive
market
you
need
to
convince
the
interviewer that you have the ability and enthusiasm to do the job well and the capacity to work
like hell
when the
need arises.

I
suspect
that by now you know all about Marie Curie. You have,after all,
been bombarded with
facts about her.
You will have read all about the
brilliant
work that led to her being
awarded
the most prestigious of scientific prizes,
But why is it that So few women have been
nominated
for a Nobel Prize in science? It is an
intriguing
question and
one that has led to
intense
debate,
stirring
up emotions, with strong views being expressed on whether nature or
nurture plays the dominant role. The debate has generated numerous
hypotheses
, but arriving at a
conclusion
that
satisfies everyone would prove difficult.

Has the
evolution
of technology been a
disaster
for the way we
communicate
with one another? Some people
certainly fear
that
the
development
of
computers
and
smartphones
has
had
a(n)
negative

effect
on
language.
But
such
an
assessment
is
probably
too

harsh
.
For
language
inevitably
evolves

to
take
advantage
of
new
methods
of
communication. Rather than limiting our ability to communicate by
killing off
language such changes often offer fresh
ways
for
us
to
sharpen
up

our
communication
skills.
Emoticons
and
emojis,
for
example,
may
not
be
appropriate
where a more formal
tone
is required, but in informal contexts they offer a
concise
way of expressing our
mood
.

如果你准备充分，你的出国打工假期能成为最有益的经历之一。以下是一些小建议。

首先，你需要通过
浏览相关
(relevant)
网站来明智地选择目的地。然后，尽 早地填写所需要的文件、申请签证、预订机票。出发前
努力学习新的职业技能，这能让你在国外有更多的 工作选择，帮助你积攒足够的钱去旅游。到国外的最初几个
星期里，人们经常会感到焦虑不安或者有点困 惑，所以你要对这种情绪上的压力有所准备。同当地人交朋友，
而不是单独冒险。尽可能多地出去观光旅 游，并用文字记录或拍下你去过的地方。最后点是跟着感觉走，

自己真心想做的事。

If you are fully prepared, your working holiday abroad can be one of the most rewarding experiences you can
ever have. Here are some tips. First, you need to choose your destination wisely by
browsing
relevant websites. Then
fill out
the necessary
paperwork,
apply for a
visa
and
book
your flight as early as possible. Try to learn some new job
skills
prior to
your departure, which can give you more
employment
options abroad and help you
save up
enough
money for travel. Within weeks of arriving in a foreign country,people often feel
stressed out
or
kind of
confused, so
be
prepared
for
the

emotional
stress.
Make
friends

with
local
people
instead
of
taking
the
adventure
solo
.
And
whenever
possible,
go
on

sightseeing
excursions

and
capture

the
places
you
visit
in
words
or
pictures.
Last,always
follow your heart
and do what you truly want to do.

在中国，当上爷爷奶奶是件大事。中国的爷 爷奶为照顾第三代尽心尽力是人所共知的。而这却是父母和成
年子女之间矛盾的重要起因，因为两代人在 生活方式、育儿理念等方面有显而易见的差异。你可以指望你的父
母帮你做家务、替你带孩子，以此减轻 你为人家长的负担，但要知道，你也常常不得不放弃自己的育儿理念。
与此同时，做子女的不能理所当然 地享受父母的好意，在你竭力平衡家庭与工作的时候父母伸出援手，那么在
父母年纪大的时候你当然也要 加以回报，照顾他们。

To

China.
Chinese
grandparents
are
widely

for
their
devotion

to

This,
however,
is
a
primary

conflict
between
parents
and
their
adult
children,
for
there
exist
apparent
differences
in
a
aspects

like
lifestyle
and
parenting
approaches between the two generations. You can expect parents to help you manage your
household
and take on
childcare duties, thus
relieving you of
your
burden
as a parent, but you must know, very often, you have to
leave
your
own parenting ideas
behind
. Meanwhile, the adult child simply can't take the
kindness
of his/her parents for granted,
As your parents
helped you out
when you struggled to balance family and career, you are certainly expected to
repay
their
kindness
by taking care of them when they get old.

我是名赛车设计师。 这几年我对建造带人工智能的赛车很感兴趣。在我的想象中，我要发明的新车将通过
接像机和传感器收集 原始数据，并具有强大的数据处理能力。它能灵活地适应环境、决定何时加速或减速。你
知道费车手在选 择策略时往往依靠直觉，可直觉在人紧张
(tense)
的时候就不灵了。人工智能从来不会紧 张，所
以更安全。一且我攻克了设计中的难题，我将造一辆新赛车井带上它参加锦标赛。我希望它能战胜 所有对手，
夺得冠军称号。

I am a race car designer. In recent years I have been greatly interested in
constructing
a race car with
artificial
intelligence
.
In
my

imagination
,
the
race
car
I'm
going
to
invent

will
collect

raw
data
through
video
cameras
and
will have strong data
processing
abilities. It can
adjust
to the environment, deciding when ta
accelerate
or
slow
down
in
a
flexible

manner.
You
know,
race
car
drivers
always
rely
on
intuition

when
selecting
strategies
,
but
intuition
may
fail
if
the
person
is
tense.
Artificial
intelligence
never feels
tense,
so
it
is
safer.
Once
I've
tackled
the
challenging problems in design, I will
-
build a new race car and take it to a
tournament
.I hope it will top all
opponents
and become a
champion
.
