    Sometimes weaknesses seem to outweigh (胜过)the strengths and sometimes it’s the other way around.  38  ,facing huge limitations, many people tend to  39  it  as just bad luck ---but not everyone. Those who rise over their weaknesses can still manage to  40  extraordinary things.
    I  41  a school prize –giving ceremony and the guest speaker was Andrew Becroft,  42 had a severe stutter (结巴 ) as a child .  43  allowing this to limit  him , he chose to overcome it. Now he is a famous judge . Not only  44  he become  successful, but he did so in a profession  45  he had to speak before others regularly. Had he not worked on his  46  ability, it would have been very limiting to his success in life and work.
    Many people face far huger limitations, such as loss  47  legs or arms , being born extremely poor,  48 you do. But whatever the limitation, you’ll  49 find people who have overcome it. Helen Keller, who fell  50 and lost  her sight and hearing at 19 months old, worked hard to be a famous woman with great  51  . Mark Inglis lost both his legs in a mountain climbing accident,  52  has since climbed Mt. Everest.
    If one of them had told you what they hoped to achieve, you would have nodded kindly while  53  thinking to yourself that they had no chance . And yet the results speak for  54  .
    Though most of us will never have to face such challenges , yet most of us will never achieve to the  55  that these people have either if we never seriously think of what we can do.

    Everyone in business has been told that success is all about attracting and retaining(留住) customers. It sounds simple and achievable. But,   41   , words of wisdom are soon forgotten. Once companies have attracted customers they often    42   the second half of the story. In the excitement of beating off the competition, negotiating prices, securing orders, and delivering the product, managers     43    become carried away. They forget what they regard as the boring side of business---    44   that the customer remains a customer.
         45   to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs business huge amounts of money annually. It has been estimated that the    46     company loses between 10 and 30 percent of its customers every year. In constantly changing    47    , this is not surprising. What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers they have lost.
    Only now are organizations beginning to wake up to these lost opportunities and calculate the   48  implications.     49    the number of customers a company loses can make a big    50   in its performance. Research in the US found that a five percent decrease in the number of defecting(流失的) customers led to    51   increases of between 25 and 85 percent.
    In the US, Domino’s Pizza estimates that a regular customer is     52    more than five thousand dollars over ten years. A customer who receives a poor quality product or     53    on their first visit and    54     never returns, is losing the company thousands of dollars in   55    profits (more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience).
    The logic behind cultivating customer   56    is impossible to deny. “In practice most companies’ marketing effort is focused on getting customers, with little attention paid to     57   them”, says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University’s School of Management. “Research suggests that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits.     58     customers tend to buy more, are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers. Furthermore, they tend to be less price    59   , and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising. Retaining customers also makes it   60  for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market.”

    Towards the end of the baseball game, a controversial call was given. At full speed Paul Harvey slid home（本垒）and, thinking he had just ___36___ a game-changing run, he stood up only to face the words, “You’re ___37___!”
    Angry, he threw off his helmet and ran over to explain to the ___38___ why the call was wrong. Before his ___39___ really got out of control, someone pulled him away, and he walked to the bench---___40___.
    Long after the coaches, players, and fans had gone home, he realized the impact of his ___41___. Like most of us do when we are faced with the __42___ of our actions, he could have just let it go, reasoning, “Everybody ___43___ it.”
    However, in the silence of his heart, he knew that just ___44___ everyone else does it, that doesn’t make it all right. And so, long after his friends had gone home, he ___45___ that coach back up to the school—not to ___46___ his car. No, the boy tracked this man down so he could tell him face to face, “I’m sorry, Sir. It was all my___47___.”
    It takes true courage to stand up to face the ___48___ we all make and say, “I was wrong. I’m sorry.” What makes this ___49___ unique is that it wasn’t meant for the world to ___50___, it was meant simply as a way to stay ___51___ to his own heart.
    The truth is at one time or another we have all been this boy --- ___52___ out in anger, saying hurtful things, and feeling ___53___ for doing so. But the real test comes later when we are ___54___ with the choice to say “sorry” or to walk away thinking, “Ah, they’ll get over it.”
    Maybe the “they” is a customer, a friend, or a child. Whoever it is, don’t pass up the opportunity to get right with your own heart. The time for apology is now! Courage is a ___55___ of the heart.

    Love, success, happiness, family and freedom—how important are these values to you? Here is one interview which explores the fundamental questions in life.
    Question: Could you introduce yourself first?
    Answer: My name is Misbah, 27 years old. I was born in a war-torn area. Right now I’m a web designer.
    Q: What are your great memories?
    A: My parents used to take us to hunt birds, climb trees, and play in the fields. For me it was like a holiday because we were going to have fun all day long. Those are my great memories.
    Q: Does your childhood mean a lot to you?
    A: Yes. As life was very hard, I used to work to help bring money in for the family. I spent my childhood working, with responsibilities beyond my age. However, it taught me to deal with problems all alone. I learnt to be independent.
    Q: What changes would you like to make in your life?
    A: If I could change something in my life, I’d change it so that my childhood could have taken place in another area. I would have loved to live with my family in freedom. Who cares whether we have much money, or whether we have a beautiful house? It doesn’t matter as long as I can live with my family and we are safe.
    Q: How do your get along with your parents?
    A: My parents supported me until I came of age. I want to give back what I’ve got. That’s our way. But I am working in another city. My only contact with my parents now is through the phone, but I hate using it. It filters(过滤) out your emotion and leaves your voice only. My deepest feelings should be passed through sight, hearing and touch.

    What’s in a name? Well, apparently, our general happiness. Psychologists say that what we are called has a direct connection with our well-being (幸福).
         Those called Judy and Joshua are the happiest, while Lynn or Ben is likely to be the unhappiest, according to research. Psychologist Dr David Holmes found that this might due to the association(联想)that others made with the name. Hearing the name Judy may make them think of actress Judi Dench or TV presenter Judy Finnigan, people who are seen as good natured and happy. On the other hand, people think Paulines are unhappy because of the character Pauline Fowler from the TV programme East Enders. The research claims that this association influences the person with the name and so their personality becomes shaped to fit it. Dr David Holmes said, "This also has some relation with the original meaning of the name. For example, the original meaning of Judy is 'praised’."
         Certain names also work well in certain aspects of life. In the workplace Richard and Judy are happiest, while those called Ruth and Carly are happiest in relationships. At the other end of the scale the unhappiest workers are Stuart and Liz, with the unhappiest in relationships being Frank and Harriet.
           Dr Holmes said, "The relation we have with certain names, particularly important namesakes(同名者), also shapes how we see ourselves and so may have an effect on our confidence. Names are like product brands in having a powerful effect on attitudes and should therefore be chosen with care."
          "Other names are connected with being brave, outgoing or serious. Therefore, many celebrities change their names to ones which reflect these characteristics. This, in turn, influences parents when they choose names for their babies," said Dr Holmes, "however, names connected with ordinary people are seldom chosen for their babies".
    小题1:Which of the following is NOT a reason why Judy is a good name?
    A．The association people make with it.
    		B．Its original meaning.
    		C．The high number of famous people who are called Judy.
    		D．The personalities of famous Judys.
    小题2:According to the passage, which of the following names are better?
    A．Ruth and Joshua.B．Pauline and Frank.C．Richard and Stuart.D．Joshua and Ben.
    小题3:The reason why names should be chosen carefully is that___________.
    A．good names can make us succeed.
    		B．names can affect how we see ourselves
    		C．names can tell us what we should do
    		D．good names can show others who we are
    小题4:The author may continue the passage with__________.
        
    A．names and product brandsB．famous people’s names
    		C．parents ‘choices of baby namesD．names and personality
    小题5:What’s the main idea of this passage?
        
    A．How to choose a good name for babies.
    		B．How to achieve success by changing a good name.
    		C．The relation between names and success.
    		D．The relation between names and happiness.

    If your boss asks you to work in Moscow this year, he’d better offer you more money to do so — or even double that depending on where you live now．That’s because Moscow has just been found to be the world’s most expensive city for the second year in a row by Mercer Human Resources Consulting．
    Using the cost of living in New York as a base, Mercer determined Moscow is 34．4 percent more expensive including the cost of housing, transportation, food, clothing, household goods and entertainment．
    A two-bedroom flat in Moscow now costs $4,000 a month; a CD $24．83, and an international newspaper $6．30, according to Mercer．By comparison, a fast food meal with a hamburger （汉堡包） is a steal at $4．80．
    London takes the No．2 place, up from No．5 a year ago, thanks to higher cost of housing and a stronger British pound relative to the dollar．Mercer estimates （估算） London is 26 percent more expensive than New York these days．Following London closely are Seoul and Tokyo, both of which are 22 percent more expensive than New York, while No．5 Hong Kong is 19 percent more costly．
    Among North American cities, New York and Los Angeles are the most expensive and are the only two listed in the top 50 of the world’s most expensive cities．But both have fallen since last year’s study — New York came in 15th, down from 10th place, while Los Angeles fell to 42nd from 29th place a year ago．San Francisco came in a distant third at No．54, down 20 places from a year earlier．
    Toronto, meanwhile, is Canada’s most expensive city but fell 35 places to take 82nd place worldwide．In Australia, Sydney is the priciest place to live in and No．21 worldwide．
    小题1:What do the underlined words “a steal” in Paragraph 3 mean?
    A．an act of stealing B．something delicious
    C．something very cheap D．an act of buying
    小题2:London has become the second most expensive city because of ______．
    A．the high cost of clothing
    B．the stronger pound against the dollar
    C．its expensive transportation
    D．the high prices of fast food meals
    小题3:Which city is the third most expensive on the list?
    A．Tokyo．B．Hong Kong．C．Moscow．D．Sydney．
    小题4:Which city has dropped most on the list in North America?
    A．New York．B．Los Angeles．C．San Francisco．D．Toronto．

    Brand agencies work hand in hand with the company in advertising the brand and its products. The company has to tell the agency how they would like the public to see their products. The agency then talks with the company about the progress of the brand in the market.
    Working with brand agencies is a two-way street. When the company is happy and satisfied with how the agency has advertised the brand, the trust the company has in the agency grows. Similarly, when the agency does well in its work, the company’s brand and products get good ideas from buyers and the market.
    Regarding the identity of the brand, agencies can help a lot in this aspect. For a brand to have a lasting influence on the buyers, an identity of the brand needs to be formed. If the brand is good, then buyers will feel at ease (轻松自在) buying the products of this brand.
