26、he trip to the United States opened my eyes to the fact there are a lot of similarities as well as differences between American youth and French youth. Now I will talk about the differences between them.The first difference is in appearance. Going around in the U.S., I found that American youth do n

27、ot really care about their appearance. In the morning, they choose something in their closet and wear it with another thing., often of different colors and styles, without wondering whether their choices make them look strange. The reason behind this is that they dont care what people look like, but

28、 are just interested in their ideas. I think its great, but it also causes problems. Since they dont care about their appearance, they dont really care about their weight. Often they get fat without realizing it.I observed that there are differences in relationships too. When the American youth fall

29、 in love, they dont really think of the future. Also, there are differences in the rules concerning behavior that is allowed. In some respects, the French are more accepting. For example, in America it is generally unacceptable to make physical display of love. Lovers, in theory, cant kiss or hold e

30、ach other everywhere they want. People think that not showing love in public places is a way to respect others. On the contrary, the French youth can do almost everything they want, and they are usually more concerned about the future of the relationship than the American youth.With regard to other

31、types of relationships, there are also big differences. Americans act differently from French people in front of unknown people. When an American girl, for example, arrives in front of people she has never met before, she will talk with them, trying to create a kind of bond between her and this new

32、circle of people. The French girls will just think about rather than really do this kind of thing because they are too shy and lacking in self-confidence.To finish, I noticed that in American classes, when pupils want to say or ask something, they just do it. In general, they dont really care how th

33、e others will judge them. In France, its not the same case. If somebody wants to ask something, he/she will think about it before speaking up. I appreciate the freedom in Americans behavior, ideas, and ways of expressing themselves.1. In this article, the author talks about_ between American youth a

34、nd French youth.A) the friendship B) the differences and similarities C) the similarities D) the differences2. American young people _.A) are more concerned about appearanceB) show more interest in peoples ideasC) are just interested in peoples clothesD) care more about their weight3. American youth

36、splay their love in public5 If French pupils want to ask questions in class, they will_. A) ask for the teachers permission first B) speak up before the teacher permits C) try to control themselves not to do so D) think about it before they do soKeys: DBCDDPassage 2Building Your Business, Building Y

37、our People What an exciting thing to do -developing a successful business ! I have been part of the building .And developing of four active , successful businesses. We are in a great stage of growth and development right now at my company, Progress Productions, and i am reminded every day of some of

38、 the most important ideas for progress.Here are five ideas to keep in mind that can make a significant difference in a team:Understand Your PeopleIf I want my team to go and grow with me, I need to find out what excites them. What are their personal drives and what keeps them form being at their bes

39、t? What do they need in their work environment to improve their mental well-being? What are their fears and concerns, and how can I help them manage these fears and concerns? What are their values and goals, and how can I ensure they are in agreement with mine? It is important to remember that all y

40、our careful planning, you goals, and your purposes will be useless if you need other people to help you make them happen and those people do not have the same level of commitment to them as you.Help People Build Self-confidenceThis is a major discovery for me, During my early years in management. I

41、realized the great power of expectations on performance. As I found, people largely lived up to my expectation of them. SO i learned that if u want to build my business through my people, I have to build their own belief in their capacity to achieve, This belief must be educated. Not to the point of

42、 any false belief about current performance, but with a real conviction about potential If I want to lift their achievement, i must help them lift their trust in themselves first.Give People Floors, Walls, but No CeilingsWhile we are growing, we usually want a level of security beneath us ,a floor o

43、r a foundation. Keep your people informed of your plans and your activities, so that they know where they stand . Allow them freedom of operation within defined and measurable frameworks, and let them know the sky is the limit for achievement, for recognition, and for reward.Teach people to Treasure

44、 RecognitionWherever I speak and give advice to people, they tell me they do not get enough recognition. Sad, is not it? I usually ask them how much recognition they give. They look at me as if i am crazy, but a good culture of recognition should be carefully developed, with praise and appreciation

45、shown both up and down, and sideways, in a team. Find interesting ways to encourage everyone in your team to recognize achievement in others, but be careful to keep it genuine, spontaneous and both individual-and team-based. Teach your team to ask for the opinions of others if they are not receiving

46、 recognition the way they want it, and teach them they have the responsibility for creating it.Encourage People to Be CreativeEach one of us has created our life just the way we choose to have it, or at least the way we have settled for it . Those who have been told they are creative will probably u

47、se their creativity bravely. Others who have not had their creativity encouraged will mostly believe they are uncreative, I suggest you encourage your people to be creative and brave in trying out new ideas.Building a business is greatly rewarding and building your people is equally rewarding. Seein

48、g your people develop as a result of your encouragement, advising, and management is a great joy!1 Form the first paragraph we know the authors present company is _A, developing quicklyB. creating important ideasC. progressing productionsD. making a significant difference2 It is necessary to find ou

52、uter virus is an outcome of the computer overgrowth in the 1980s. The term computer virus comes from the likeness between the viruses that harm the body and the harmful programs that infect computers. When inside a body, viruses create factories that breed other viruses. However, computer viruses ar

53、e small programs. They reproduce by attaching a copy of themselves to another program.Once attached to another program, viruses then look for other programs to “infect”. In this way, the virus can spread quickly throughout a single computer or an entire network when it infects a LAN or a multi-user

54、system. At some point, the virus attacks according to how it is programmed. The timing of the attack can be linked to a number of situations, such as a certain time or date, the presence of a particular object, the security level of the user, and the number of times a program is used. Similarly, the

55、 pattern of attack comes in different ways. The so-called “harmless” viruses might simply show a message, like the one that infected IBMs main computer system in 1987 with Christmas greetings. Harmful viruses are designed to damage the system. They can wipe out data, cross out information, or rewrite the hard disk.Main Types of Virus
