    A TAXI driver taught me a million dollar lesson in customer satisfaction and expectation. Inspiring speakers charge thousands of dollars to give his kind of training to corporate directors and staff.  It cost me only a ＄12 taxi ride.

    I had flown into Dallas just for the purpose of calling on a client. Time was important and my plan included a quick turn – around trip from and back to the airport. A clean taxi pulled up.

    The driver rushed to open the passenger door for me and made sure I was comfortably seated before he closed the door. As be got in the driver’s seat, he mentioned that the neatly folded Wall Street Journal next to me for my use. He then showed me several tapes and asked me what type of music I would enjoy.

    Well! I looked around for a “Candid Camera!” Wouldn’t you? I could not believe the service I was receiving! I took the opportunity to say, “Obviously you take great pride in you work. You must have a story to tell.”

    “You bet,” he replied, “I used to be in Corporate America. But I got tired of thinking my best would never be good enough. I decided to find my right position in life, somewhere I could feel proud of being the best I could be.

    I knew I would never be a rocket scientist, but I love driving cars, being of service and feeling like I have done a full day’s work and done it well. I evaluated my personal property and, I became a taxi driver!

    One thing I know for sure, to be good in my business I jus have to meet the expectations of my passengers. But, to be GREAT in my business, I have to EXEED the customer’s expectations! I like the sound of being ‘great’ better than just being ‘average’. ”

    Did I tip him big time? You bet!

        B．How to do better in the service business.

        C．How to turn an interest into your career.

        D．How to become a motivational speaker.

    Why did the author look around for a “Candid Camera”?

        A．Because he was afraid he would be photographed in the cab.

        B．Because he was worried what the driver could be up to.

        C．Because he was amazed by the way the driver was treating him.

    From hitting the mall with your girl friends on a Saturday afternoon, to holiday spending on gifts that go under the tree, shopping could be called one of America’s favorite pastimes. For most people, it means some new clothes for work or a small trinket for a friend. For others, however, shopping is much more than an enjoyable pastime, and in some cases, it is a real and destructive addiction that can turn into a financial disaster. Compulsive shopping and spending are defined as inappropriate, excessive过度的, and out of control. Like other addictions, it basically has something to do with impulsiveness and lack of control over one’s impulses冲动. In America, shopping is embedded in our culture; so often, the impulsiveness comes out as excessive shopping. Sometimes this is referred to as “shopholism”. Shopping addiction can damage a person’s life, family, and finances. “No one knows what causes addictive behaviors, like shopping, alcoholism, drug abuse, and gambling”, says a professor of applied health science. Some of the new evidence suggests that some people, maybe 10%-15%, may have a genetic predisposition to an addictive behavior, coupled with an environment in which the particular behavior is triggered引发, but no one really knows why.” Individuals will get some kind of high from an addictive behavior like shopping.

    What are the telltale signs that shopping has crossed the line and become and addiction? What should a concerned family member or friend look out for when they think shopping has become a problem? The behaviors can signal a serious problem:

    ·Shopping or spending money as a result of feeling angry, depressed, anxious, or lonely

    ·Having arguments with others about one’s shopping habits

    ·Feeling lost without credit cards — actually going into withdrawal without them

    ·Buying items on credit, rather than with cash

    ·Describing a rush or a feeling of euphoria with spending

    ·Feeling guilty, ashamed, or embarrassed after a spending spree(大买特买)

    ·Thinking obsessively about money

    ·Spending a lot time juggling accounts or bills to accommodate spending

    “If someone identifies four or more of any of these behaviors, there may be a problem”, experts say. Treating a shopping addiction requires a multifaceted approach. There are no standard treatments for shopping addiction. Medications have been used, but with mixed results. Therapists also focus on cognitive-behavioral treatment programs. There is no quick and easy answer that will immediately cure a shopping addiction, and while treatment is a necessary part of solving the problem, so is behavior change on the part of the addict.

    Some basic changes in behavior that will have a big impact on breaking a shopping addiction are recommended:

    ·Admit that you are a compulsive spender, which is half the battle.

    ·Get rid of checkbooks and credit cards, which fuel the problem.

    ·Don’t shop by yourself because most compulsive shoppers shop alone and if you are with someone you are much less likely to append more.

    ·Find other meaningful ways to spend time.

    And keep in mind that while behavior change is clearly important to recovery, so is reaching out for professional help.(509)

    The best title of this article is _________

    A. Should We Shop or Not?                  B. Shopping Behaviors, Good or Bad?

    C. Shopping Spree, or an Addiction?           D. The Dangers of Shopholism.

    You should be carefully think about your shopping behavior if you ________.

    A. are angry to go shopping            

    B. lost your credit card while shopping

    C. are overjoyed and overwhelmingly excited to go shopping.

    D. count your money while shopping

    A. Medication will not help to cure a shopping addiction

    B. No one really knows why people get addicted to doing something which is no good to them

    C. By the word shopholism, we refers to the impulsive and excessive shopping behavior

    根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
    Empathy
    Last year, researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy, the ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years. _【小题1】__ Today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.
    Jennifer Freed, a co-director of a teen program, has another explanation. Turn on the TV, and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, competing, and generally treating one another with no respect. _【小题2】_
    There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature. 【小题3】__ Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear.
    Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact, Freed says, many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. _【小题4】_ “Academics are important. But if you don’t have emotional (情感的) intelligence, you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life,” she says.
    What’s the best way to up your EQ (情商）? For starters, let down your guard and really listen to others. __【小题5】__
    To really develop empathy, you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, have a “sharing circle” with your family, or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.

    A. Everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person.
    B. That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, the researchers said.
    C. “One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking,” Freed says.
    D. Humans learn by example—and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.
    E. Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else—both what they think and how they feel.
    F. Good social skills—including empathy—are a kind of “emotional intelligence” that will help you succeed in many areas of life.
    G. Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human—and having empathy is decisive to those relationships.

    Almost every child is scared of something,from monsters in the cupboard to dogs in the park.But the fact that such fears are common and normal doesn’t mean they can be taken lightly.Kids experience fears and phobias(恐惧症) much more strongly than adults.And the influence of the fear can be physical as well as psychological(心理的).It can build up so they almost seem scared of everything—a kind of childhood anxiety.Dr.Creswell says:“Your child may always seem to expect the worst to happen and lack confidence in his or her ability to deal with any challenge.”So don’t make the same old mistake of treating them as if they’re silly for being a “scaredy cat”.Handling the fears is essential.

    Children can be born nervous and,if you have such a baby,you’ll tend to prevent them from getting worried.So if they fear dogs,you’ll keep them away from dogs,but in fact that can just confirm to the child that dogs are scary.What is worse,keeping your child away from what they fear can turn that feeling into a phobia.Instead,you should encourage them to get in touch with the thing they fear,in a safe and supportive environment.Dr.Andy Field,a researcher of childhood fears,says:“You shouldn’t force,for example,a dog—anxious child to go up to a dog.But you can approach it yourself,show them there is nothing to be afraid of,stroke(抚摸) it,and talk about the dog being friendly.Once your child dares to stroke a dog—one that’s good with children,of course—then you should encourage them to carry on until they feel calmer,and reward them for ‘being brave’.”

    1.Children’s fears are usually taken lightly because ______.

    A.they will not develop into phobias

    B.their influence is psychological

    C.they exist widely in the world

    D.they will disappear gradually

    2.If we fail to help children to overcome fears,they will ______.

    A.make the same old mistake

    B.overcome them by themselves

    C.experience the worst of things

    D.grow up lacking self-confidence

    3.According to Dr.Andy Field,if a child is afraid of a cat,parents should ______.

    A.tell the child not to be afraid of it

    B.show the child how to approach it

    C.keep the child away from it

    D.ask the child to stoke it
