Michael a typical American, stays home on workdays. He plugs into his personal
computer terminal in order to connect with the office. After work he puts on his
headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder or plays baseball on the
computer. On many days, michael doesn't talk to any other human beings, and he
doesn't see any people except the ones on television. Michael is imaginary, but his
lifestyle is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting
US off from contact with our fellow human being
The world of business is one area which technology is isolating. US experts say,
for example, that many people will soon be able to work at home. With access(接通)
to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents and
accountants could do their jobs at display terminals in their own homes. They would
never have to actually see the people they're dealing with. In addition, the way
employees are paid will change. Workers' salaries will be automatically paid into
their bankaccounts (账户 ) , makingpaper checks unnecessary. No workers will
stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking will change,
too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their accounts.
Another area that technology is changing is entertainment. Music,for instance,was
once a group experience. People listened to music at concert halls or in small social
gatherings. For many people now however, music is an individual experience. Walking
along the street or sitting in their living rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall
of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing, too. Movies used to be social
events. Now, fewer people are going out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to
wait for a film to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home.
Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own living rooms.

Several pieces of advice I've gotten in my life have really made a difference. "Be 1 to people." This sounds quite common, but I'll never 2 my father telling me that. I was ten, and I had been rude to someone. He said, "There is no 3 in being rude to anyone at any time. You never know who you're going to meet later in life. 4 , you don't change anything by being rude. 5 you don't get anywhere." " 6 that you can do anything you want to do. Don't let anyone say, 'You're not 7 enough…it's too hard…it's a bad 8 …no one has done that before…girls don't do that. My mom gave me that advice in 1973. And it 9 me to never worry about what others were saying about my 10 direction. "Always do the 11 job you can do at whatever you're assigned, even if you think it's 12 ." Jerry Parkinson, an assistant advertising manager and my boss at P&G, told me this in 1979. Here I had just 13 from Harvard Business School(HBS), and I was assigned to determine 14 the hole in the Ivory shampoo bottle should be: 3/8 of an inch or 1/8 of an inch.I did research, focus groups …and I would come home at night 15 how I had gone from HBS to this.

Tom Tierney, who was my boss at Bain in 1981 and is now on the eBay board, told me this. It's 19 ? You get ahead by crediting other people. Finally, in 1998, I was in New York 20 the big celebration as eBay went public(上市). My husband is a doctor. I called into his operating room and told him the great news.

根据短文内容, 从下框的A~F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项, 选项中有一项 为多余项。
From the several hours I spend a day at my gym I get to observe all types of gym goers. One thing most of them have in common is that they all appear to be lost. The gym, much like a dense forest, can be a very scary place and if you don't have a plan you can end up forgetting where you are or where you are going. Here are a few things you must do if you want to guarantee success at the gym. 2. ________ If you're going to venture into the forest it would seem smart to have a general idea of where you are going and why you are going there. The first question you must ask yourself is "why"? Why are you even working out? It sounds simple but if you cannot come up with a good enough answer then you may be wasting your time. You see, if you are working out based on other people's values of what a healthy lifestyle is, then you may be setting yourself up for failure. Once you understand why then you must figure out what you would like the end result to be. You should choose something specific and you should write it down. How many pounds would you like to lose? What size clothes do you want to fit in? How many points off your cholesterol would you like to drop? Ask yourself specific questions and have answers for them. Next you must decide when you would like to have reached these goals. Create specific times and dates. Mark them down on your calendar. 3. ________ Once you know where you want to go you must now figure out the path you would like to take to get there. In fitness there are many paths to choose from and it can be quite confusing. While some paths may be quicker or more appropriate to take than others it is most important to just pick one and stay with it. Every time you enter that gym have a clear idea of what is going to happen. Know what pieces of equipment you need to use, know how many sets you must perform and have a good idea how long it should take you to complete the workout. 4. ________ There will be times when it may seem hard to stay on track. Whether you're traveling, someone is using a piece of equipment you need to use, or work gets in the way. It will be important for you to learn to improvise in these situations. Plan ahead when traveling, have alternate exercises in mind, and learn to adapt when change occurs. But in the end, always trust in the course you have previously mapped out for yourself. Come back to it and adhere to it as accurately as possible. 5. ________ Always keep a fitness journal. Otherwise you will find it very hard to keep track of where you have been and where you are going. Write down all exercises performed, how much weight used, how you felt, and if you think you can do better the next time you will work out. This is one of the most overlooked and powerful tools when it comes to attaining your goals. |
