  “When one of the doctors criticizes me, I get defensive.I feel like a child again, being scolded, and I want to explain that I’m not wrong.”says Viola, a nurse.This is a common reaction to criticism, but not a good one.There are better ways of dealing with criticism.

  When Sol was criticized by his new employer for not having made a sale, Sol’s reaction was to feel sorry for himself.“I had put everything I had into making that sale,”Sol says,“and I felt that I had failed as a person.I had to learn through experience not to react like that to each failure.

  Rather than reacting immediately to criticism, take some time to think over what was said.Your first question should be whether the criticism is fair from the other person’s position.The problem may be a simple misunderstanding of what you did or your reasons for doing it.

  After you cool down, consider what you can do about the situation.The best answer may be“nothing”.“I finally realized that my boss was having personal problems and taking them out on me because I was there,”says Sheila.“His criticism didn’t really have anything to do with my work, so nothing I said or did was going to change them.”In Sheila’s case, the best way to deal with it was to leave her job.However, that’s an extreme reaction.You may simply explain your opinion without expecting an in-depth discussion.You may even decide that the battle isn’t worth fighting this time.The key, in any case, is to have a reasonable plan.

[  ]

you need to change your job.

you’ve done nothing wrong

阅读理解

  It’s not the flashiest car in the world.Not even close.But the 1971 Volkswagen named Helios can do something most cars can’t:run on solar energy-energy from the sun’s light and heat!

  Joshua Bechtold, 14, and the other students at the Riverside School in Lyndonville, Vermont, worked many months to get Helios ready for the 1999 American Tour de Sol(“Sol”is the Latin word for“sun”).They named their car after Helios, the sun god in Greek mythology(神话).

  The 4-year-old Tour de Sol encourages the use of“green”, or environmentally friendly, cars to help reduce pollution and save energy.It’s not a race.Cars are judged on fuel efficiency(耗油量) rather than speed.In the week-long event, 44 cars took the 350-mile tour from Waterbury, Connecticut, to Lake George, New York.Of the 23 student cars, Helios was the only one built by middle school students.

  A teacher drove Helios, but the children talked with people wherever they stopped along the road.“That was my favorite part,”says Anna Browne, 15.“We explained how the car runs.”

  Due in part to old, inefficient batteries(电池), Helios finished fourth-out of four-in its kind, the sun-powered class.“We were there for the fun of it,”Anna says.“We’re proud of Helios,”says Ariel Gleicher, 14.“It’s a car that’s good for the environment.”

(1)

What is special about the car Helios in the text?

[  ]

A.

It was built by middle school students.

B.

It has an attractive design.

C.

It was made in 1971.

D.

It won the fourth prize.

(2)

How many sun-powered cars took part in the race?

[  ]

A.

1.

B.

4.

C.

23.

D.

44.

(3)

What would be the best title for the text?

[  ]

A.

The Making of Helios

B.

1999 American Tour de Sol

C.

Sun-powered Cars on the Road

D.

Use of Green Cars in Connecticut

(4)
