【正文】 carpet 漂亮的地毯We have just moved into a new house and I have been working hard all morning. I have been trying to get my new room in order. This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books. To make matters worse, the room is rather small, so I have temporarily put my books on the floor. At the moment, they cover every inch of floor space and I actually have to walk on them to get in or out of the room. A short while ago, my sister helped me to carry one of my old bookcases up the stairs. She went into my room and got a big surprise when she saw all those books on the floor. 39。This is the prettiest carpet I have ever seen,39。 she said. She gazed at it for some time then added, 39。You don39。t need bookcases at all. You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!39。 Lesson53 Hot snake 觸電的蛇At last firemen have put out a big forest fire in California. Since then, they have been trying to find out how the fire began. Forest fire are often caused by broken glass or by cigarette ends which people carelessly throw away. Yesterday the firemen examined the ground carefully, but were not able to find any broken glass. They were also quite sure that a cigarette end did not start the fire. This morning, however, a fireman accidentally discovered the cause. He noticed the remains of a snake which was wound round the electric wires of a 16,000volt power line. In this way, he was able to solve the mystery. The explanation was simple but very unusual. A bird had snatched up the snake from the ground and then dropped it on to the wires. The snake then wound itself round the wires. When it did so, it sent sparks down to the ground and these immediately started a fire.Lesson54 Sticky fingers 粘糊的手指After breakfast, I sent the children to school and then I went to market. It was still early when I returned home. The children were at school, my husband was at work and the house was quiet. So I decided to make some tarts for tea. In a short time I was busy mixing butter and flour and my hands were soon covered with sticky pastry. At exactly that moment, the telephone rang. Nothing could have been more annoying. I picked up the receiver between two sticky fingers and was dismayed when I recognized the voice of Mrs Bates. It took me ten minutes to persuade her to ring back later. At last I hung up the receiver. What a mess! There was pastry on my fingers, on the telephone, and on the doorknobs. I had no sooner got back to the kitchen than the doorbell rang loud enough to wake the dead. This time it was the postman and he wanted me to sign for a registered letter !Lesson55 Not a gold mine 并非金礦Dreams of finding lost treasure almost came true recently. A new machine called 39。The Revealer39。 has been invented and it has been used to detect gold which has been buried in the ground. The machine was used in a cave near the seashore whereit is saidpirates used to hide gold. The pirates would often bury gold in the cave and then fail to collect it. Armed with the new machine, a search party went he did not like it. She enjoyed herself making the assistant bring almost everything in the window before finally buying the dress she had first asked for.Lesson58 A blessing in disguise? 是因禍得福嗎？The tiny village of Frinley is said to possess a 39。cursed tree39。. Because the tree was mentioned in a newspaper, the number of visitors to Frinley has now increased. The tree was planted near a church fifty years ago, but it is only in recent years that it has gained an evil reputation. It is said that if anyone touches the tree, he will have bad luck。 if he picks a leaf, he will die. Many villagers believe that the tree has already claimed a number of victims. The vicar has been asked to have the tree cut down, but so far he has refused. He has pointed out that the tree is a useful source of ine as tourists have been ing from all parts of the country to see it. In spite of all that has been said, the touristshave been picking leaves and cutting their names on the treetrunk. So far, not one of them has been struck down by sudden death!Lesson59 In or out ？ 進(jìn)來(lái)還是出去？Our dog, Rex, used to sit outside our front gate and bark. Every time he wanted to e into the garden he would bark until someone opened the gate. As the neighbours plained of the noise, my husband spent weeks training him to press his paw on the latch to let himself in. Rex soon became an expert at opening the gate. However, when I was going out shopping last week, I noticed him in the garden near the gate. This time he was barking so that someone would let him out ! Since then, he has developed another bad habit. As soon as he opens the gate from the outside, he es into the garden and waits until the gate shuts. Then he sits and barks until someone lets him out. After this he immediately lets himself in and begins barking again. Yesterday my husband removed the gate and Rex got so annoyed we have not seen him一、職業(yè)化員工培訓(xùn)　　前言：　　為什么員工跳槽那么快?　　為什么培養(yǎng)一個(gè)員工那么累?　　為什么員工職業(yè)化進(jìn)程那么慢?　　為什么優(yōu)秀員工那么鳳毛麟角?　　職業(yè)化的員工才是真正的“人財(cái)”，員工職業(yè)化是全面提升團(tuán)隊(duì)執(zhí)行力的核心動(dòng)力，幾乎每個(gè)人都渴望獲得別人由衷地贊美，員工更是渴望獲得老板由衷地認(rèn)同。身為職場(chǎng)中人，老板對(duì)之最高的贊美應(yīng)該是——你這個(gè)員工在工作中非?！奥殬I(yè)”!因此，職業(yè)不僅是每個(gè)人的謀生之道，也是每個(gè)人享受人生的一個(gè)重要方面。評(píng)價(jià)一個(gè)人很“職業(yè)”，就等于說(shuō)這個(gè)人“工作非常職業(yè)化”，“職業(yè)化素質(zhì)高”!　　亞運(yùn)會(huì)微笑姐事件回顧——在亞運(yùn)會(huì)開(kāi)幕式上，一位禮儀小姐站立在致開(kāi)幕辭的中外官員身后，臉上一直保持微笑狀態(tài)長(zhǎng)時(shí)間出現(xiàn)在鏡頭中，被網(wǎng)友稱(chēng)為“亞運(yùn)微笑姐”。而記者第一次近距離接觸這位“微笑姐”吳怡，則是在舉行武術(shù)比賽的南沙體育館，吳怡和她的孿生妹妹吳悅一起來(lái)參加亞運(yùn)首金的頒獎(jiǎng)儀式?！　?jù)網(wǎng)上轉(zhuǎn)載的圖片，在開(kāi)幕式現(xiàn)場(chǎng)，吳怡前面的表現(xiàn)還不錯(cuò)，但后來(lái)笑容就有點(diǎn)僵硬了。對(duì)此，吳怡表示，其實(shí)平時(shí)訓(xùn)練微笑比那20分鐘還要久，但訓(xùn)練時(shí)可以抿嘴松唇，但那天在會(huì)場(chǎng)上，她站在領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人后面，為了照顧鏡頭需要，一直沒(méi)敢動(dòng)，“到最后嘴已經(jīng)有點(diǎn)抽筋了。”對(duì)于網(wǎng)友取的花名“微笑姐”，18歲的吳怡表示欣然接受。她說(shuō)，希望能把“微笑姐”作為一張宣傳廣州的名片?！　≡捳f(shuō)——拿破侖有一次檢閱軍隊(duì)，按照慣例，指揮官跑到拿破侖跟前，以非常清晰的口齒報(bào)告：“報(bào)告將軍。本部已全部集合完畢。本部官兵應(yīng)到三千四百四十四人，實(shí)到三千四百三十八人。請(qǐng)你檢閱?！蹦闷苼龇浅M意地點(diǎn)點(diǎn)頭，說(shuō)：“很好。”然后又回頭對(duì)他的參謀說(shuō)：“記住這個(gè)指揮官的名字，數(shù)字記得這么準(zhǔn)確的人應(yīng)該受到重用。你們以后也得向他學(xué)習(xí)，給我匯報(bào)時(shí)盡量用精確的數(shù)字說(shuō)話。不要用大概、可能、也許、差不多這樣的話?！边@位博得拿破侖好感的指揮官，干脆利落地說(shuō)出了部隊(duì)官兵應(yīng)到實(shí)到的人數(shù)，顯得非常專(zhuān)業(yè)和細(xì)致。用數(shù)字說(shuō)話，既顯得職業(yè)化，又能給人以最基本的信任感?！　∧敲矗覀兂３Ｕf(shuō)某某職業(yè)化素質(zhì)真高，某某職業(yè)化素質(zhì)太低。那么，這個(gè)叫“職業(yè)化素質(zhì)”的東西到底是什么呢?美國(guó)學(xué)者的調(diào)查表明：絕大多數(shù)人在工作中僅發(fā)揮了10—30%左右的能力。如果受到充分的職業(yè)化素質(zhì)教育與職業(yè)化培訓(xùn)，就能發(fā)揮其能力的50～80%。凌潔冰表示，所謂職業(yè)化，就是一種工作狀態(tài)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化、規(guī)范化和制度化，即要求人們把社會(huì)或組織交代下來(lái)的崗位職責(zé)，專(zhuān)業(yè)地完成到最佳，準(zhǔn)確扮演好自己的工作角色。著名職業(yè)化專(zhuān)家凌潔冰老師(凌潔冰)以國(guó)際通行的概念分析，職業(yè)化的內(nèi)涵至少包括四個(gè)方面：　　一是以“人事
