nd seriously in their shops, hotels and sandwich bars. I think it is a wonderful phrase, reminding us, in effect, to enjoy the moment: to value this very day.How often do we say to ourselves, “I’ll take up horseriding (or golf or sailing) as soon as I get a higher position,” only to do none of those things when I do get the higher position…71.

Stay Alive (10) Being considered a leader in our society is indeed of high praise. Leadership means power, mands respect and, most important, encourages achievement. Unlike vitamin C, leadership skills can’t be easily swallowed down. They must be carefully cultivated. Different from popular belief, most good leaders are made, not born. They learn their skills in their everyday lives. But which do they develop? How do they (and how can you) get others to follow?Always give credit….Giving public credit to someone who has earned it is the best leadership technique in the world… “Catch people doing something right!” he says. Then tell everyone about it. Take informed risks. “The best leaders know that taking a risk is not a thoughtless exercise,” …But if you want to be a leader, you must learn to fail… Encourage enthusiasm (熱情)….Be enthusiastic yourself You will be followed by everyone.

How to Be a Leader(11) Shopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand of product on the shelf. Colouring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packaged in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours. Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver.…The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as it appears to. It is believed that the betterknown panies spend, on average, 70 per cent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!67.

For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust…Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion。 instead there was an unfortable silence. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems…People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other…(安徽)75.

How to Build Up a Relationship.13 Have you ever dreamed of visiting a planet in the Milky Way (銀河系)? While the trip sounds exciting, it would take years and years to reach your destination. So in the future, bedtime for astronauts may be more than a few hours of regular shut eye. They would have to sleep for years.European researchers are now conducting hibernation experiments. The study may help them understand whether humans could ever sleep through the years it would take for a spaceflight to distant planets. If there was an effective technology, it could make deepspace travel a reality, said Mark Ayre of the European Space Agency last month.What seems like a science fiction is not pletely unlikely. Researchers have been able to use chemicals to put living cells into a sleeplike state where they don’t age. They have now moved on to the small, nonhibernating mammals (哺乳動(dòng)物) like rats. A major challenge is the fact that cells can be very simple systems, whereas body organs are far more plex. It’s like moving from a simple Apple puter to a superputer, said Marco Biggiogera, a hibernation researcher at Italy’s University of Pavia. Just like bears and frogs, the hibernation of human beings would cause a person’s metabolism (新陳代謝) to lower so they would need less energy.Medical research, however, is just half of a spaceflight hibernation system. There is a challenge of designing a suitable protective shelter. Such a shelter would provide the proper environment for hibernation, such as the proper temperature. It would also have to monitor (監(jiān)控) life functions and serve the physiological needs of the hibernator.According to Ayre, the sixperson Human Outer Planets Exploration Mission (使命) to Jupiter’s moon (木星的衛(wèi)星) Callisto, could be an opportunity to use human hibernation. The mission aims to send six persons on a fiveyear flight to Callisto, where they will spend 30 days, in 2045. to the article, the hibernation research _______.A. is just an ideaB. is always a science fiction C. has already finished successfullyD. has made some progress a hibernating state, a person needs ________.A. less sleep B. more food C. less energy D. more movement first try of the hibernation technologythe sixperson Human Outer Planets Exploration Mission to Jupiter’s moon Callisto.A. will be B. has been planned forC. is certain to be D. may be is the best title of the article?A.
