    The GREATEST Journey

    I had lunch last week with a high-ranking business woman for a fortune 500 company. I asked her what tips she would give to someone early in their career. Without hesitation she jumped right into four keys to her professional climb:

    Know your business. Never get satisfaction with your industry or your position. In most cases, the knowledge you hold now is not good enough to stand the test of time. Thus, you must keep working to stay on top of what’s new and what’s coming down the pipeline. This is what really counts, especially early in a professional career, as many entry level associates are content to be gainfully employed.

    Pick careers with care. Again, early in your career it is easy to run after the job that offers the most money. In the case of a life-long career money cannot answer all things. If you are going to be an entrepreneur then you’ll probably start with a budget of zero. Yet, if you have the discipline, working for yourself could be the best choice you’ve ever made.

    If you are going to work for a company you have to do your homework. If you find a company that consists with your values and produces a product that you 100% believe in, then you’ll have an easy time giving that organization your all.

    Be personable. If everyone hates to be around you at the office, it’s time to check your attitude. We’ve all heard at least one anecdote about a great thinker with great skills who drove coworkers crazy. Someway, somehow many of the brightest and best lack the “people skills” to advance beyond an entry-level position.

    In short, you must have the interpersonal insight to interact with internal and external contacts. If not, you may find that you are unimportant once someone with soft-skills joins the organization. Why? People have to buy you before they ever buy the product you’re selling.

    Be willing to move. This is where I got puzzled. She shared how she lived in seven states still working for the same organization.

    Much is made of moving in today’s attempts to climb the corporate ladder. As more and more companies extend to have a global reach, it is easy to understand why new opportunities birth in various locations.

    Whatever the path, outline in your heart what destination you hope to reach and this will be a key indicator as to which journey will be greatest for you.

    【2】despite 根据倒数第三段She shared how she lived in seven states still working for the same organization.她分享她曾经在七个州居住过，却为同一个公司工作的经历，故填写despite.

    【3】 Tips/Suggestions/Advice 根据 I asked her what tips she would give to someone early in their career. Without hesitation she jumped right into four keys to her professional climb可知给出的四个建议。

    【4】interest/gain/profit 根据第三段提到Again, early in your career it is easy to run after the job that offers the most money.可知在起步阶段不要把眼睛盯在钱上即利益上。

    【5】carefully 根据第三段标题Pick careers with care谨慎选择职业，故用carefully.

    【题目】It’s great fun to explore(探索)new places---it feels like an adventure, even when you know you’re not the first to have been there. But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles.

    ● Do the map reading if you're being driven somewhere. It'll be easier if you keep turning the map so it follows the direction you' re traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn, or you'll have to move to the back seat.

    ● Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You'll need a good map, a compass (指南针), a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies (应急现金). Tell someone where you're going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The test is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.

    ● See if your school or a club organizes orienteering activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B (and B to C, etc. ) in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. Either way, it's not only good fun, but a great way to keep fit.

    【1】Sitting beside the driver, you should ________.

    A. direct the driver when necessary

    B. look ahead to see where there's a turn

    C. move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortable

    D. keep looking at the map to find a place to go to

    【2】Why do you need to tell someone your exploration plan before setting out?

    A. To get information when in danger.

    B. To be saved in case of an accident.

    C. To share the fun with him/her in exploration.

    D. To tell him/her what's going on with the group members.

    【3】Orienteering activities can ________.

    B. help people stay healthy

    I was from Detroit in the United States. During his senior year in high school I win a scholarship to study singing in London. I went there in summer, and I stayed with someone’s home. People there were very sweetly, and it was a really fun summer. I got the inside view of that it’s like to live there. I loved it but one thing that surprising me was that people had to go to such many different stores to do their shopping. There was also a lot of differences in language. They said things like “ring you up” instead of “give you a call.” It took me a little while figure out these differences. So it was fun.

    【题目】Many Western people are not used to sitting on the floor any more. In Japan, however, sitting upright on the floor is common in different situations. For example, meals are traditionally had when people sit on the tatami (榻榻米) floor around a low table. Also during the tea ceremony and other traditional events, one sits on the floor.

    The formal way of sitting for both men and women is kneeling upright. People who are not used to sitting in this style may feel uncomfortable after a few minutes, and their legs may go numb. However, foreigners are not usually expected to be able to sit in this style for a long time, and an increasing number of Japanese people themselves aren’t able to do so, owing to a more westernized lifestyle.

    In other situations, men usually sit cross-legged, while women sit on their knees laying both legs to one side. The former sitting style is considered wholly male, while the latter is considered completely female.

    The most important guest sits on the honored seat which is set farthest from the entrance. If there is a tokonoma (壁龛) in the room, the guest should be seated in front of it. The host or the least important person is supposed to sit next to the entrance. Of course, there are other things to be considered in each particular case.

    【1】Which of the following situations is NOT mentioned in the passage?

    A. When traditional events are held.

    B. When a tea ceremony is held.

    C. When men and women meet.

    D. When meals are traditionally had.

    【2】According to the passage we can learn that ______.

    A. more and more Japanese sit in the formal way

    B. foreigners should always sit in the formal style in a Japanese home

    C. men and women in Japan sit in the same informal way

    D. men shouldn’t sit on their knees laying both legs to one side

    【3】When some guests are in a Japanese home, _______should sit nearest to the entrance.

    A. the most important guest

    B. both the host and the hostess

    C. the host or the least important person

    D. the host himself

    【4】What is the passage mainly about?

    A. How foreigners should sit in Japanese homes.

    B. How and where to sit in Japanese homes.

    C. How foreigners should behave in Japanese homes.

    D. Where to sit in Japanese homes.
