BUSINESS ENGLISH,大连理工大学出版社,阅读教程（基础篇2）（第四版）,世纪商务英语,主编：王洗薇,1/78,Unit Three,Attitude Towards Work,大连理工大学出版社,2/78,Attitude Towards Work,Working attitude is one of those topics that are easy to talk about,tough to do but simple in nature.Confused yet?Thats,the concept is simple but doing is hard.Yet,those who have made the resolution to start working on,improving their attitude often meet with success.,3/78,Attitude Towards Work,Of course,remember to throw in patience as a key ingredient.Besides,in this unit,youre going to learn how to predict what comes next in your reading,a very useful reading technique.,4/78,Attitude Towards Work,Reading Skill Focus,Words and Expressions,Practical Reading,Comprehensive Reading,5/78,Reading Skill Focus,Predicting What Comes Next,Making predictions while you are reading is a useful technique that helps you understand a passage better.In a passage,you can often predict what comes next from a sentence,the content of a paragraph,or the structure of a paragraph.You can base your prediction on the grammatical structure of a sentence,linking words,or on the logical development of the content.,6/78,Reading Skill Focus,The following logical connectors are often used to indicate the relationship of the context,from which you can predict what comes next.,Logical Connectors,Examples,Transition,（转折）,but,however,unfortunately,although,on the contrary,on the other hand,Cause and Effect,（因果）,because,since,as a result(of),consequently,thus,therefore,Supplement,（递进）,furthermore,not only.but also.,moreover,in addition,Contrast,（对比）,while,whereas,in contrast,Examplification,（举例）,for example,for instance,such as,7/78,Reading Skill Focus,AGuided Practice,Sample 1,Read the sentence below about the use of humor and decide which sentence is most likely to follow.,In the West,we often try to build immediate rapport through humor,but of course,_.,A.some claim that humor cannot or should not be explained,B.this is not universally seen to be appropriate in all contexts,C.humor frequently contains an unexpected,often sudden,shift in,perspective,D.humor is essential to build a good business relationship,8/78,Reading Skill Focus,该句首先说“在西方，我们经常经过幽默来快速建立良好关系”，接下来是一个转折，所以能够推断，后半句意思应该否定前半句说法。所以B 选项是正确，意思是“全世界范围来看,这并不是在全部场所下都适合”。,9/78,Reading Skill Focus,Sample 2,Read the passage below and decide what the next paragraph is likely to talk about.,The general terms“high context”and“low context”(popularized by Edward Hall)are used to describe broad-brush cultural differences between societies.,High context refers to societies or groups where people have close connections over a long period of time.Many aspects of cultural behavior are not made explicit because most members know what to do and what to think from years of interaction with each other.Your family is probably an example of a high context environment.,10/78,Reading Skill Focus,The next paragraph is most likely to talk about _.,A.high context environment,B.family traditions,C.low context,D.cultural differences,本文第一段谈到了社会文化差异能够用两个术语“高语境”和“低语境”来表述。第二段解释了什么是“高语境”。所以，从文章结构来看，下一段应该介绍什么是“低语境”，所以正确答案为C,11/78,Reading Skill Focus,B.Challenge Yourself,Challenge 1,Read the paragraph below about humor in advertising and decide which sentence is most likely to follow.,Many of the most memorable ad campaigns around tend to be funny.Advertisers use this strategy to attract customers to their product.The best products to sell using humor tend to be those that consumers have to think the least about.Products that are relatively inexpensive,and often consumable,can be represented without providing a lot of facts,and thats where theres room for humor.,A,12/78,Reading Skill Focus,People will pay more attention to a humorous commercial than a factual or serious one,opening themselves up to be influenced.,B.Candy,food,alcohol,tobacco and toys/entertainment related products have proven to benefit the most from humor in their campaigns.,C.Humor in advertising tends to improve brand recognition,but does not improve product recall,message credibility,or buying intentions.,13/78,Reading Skill Focus,Challenge 2,Read the passage below about the American way of raising children and choose the best sentence to fill each gap.,The job of raising children is a tough one.Children dont come with an instruction manual.And each child is different.So parents sometimes pull their hair out in frustration,not knowing what to do.But in raising childrenas in all of lifewhat we do is influenced by our culture.Naturally then,American parents teach their children basic American values.,14/78,Reading Skill Focus,（1）From infancy,each child may get his or her own room.As children grow,they gain more freedom to make their own choices.Teenagers choose their own forms of entertainment,as well as the friends to share them with.,（2）Of course,many young adults still seek their parentsadvice and approval for the choices they make（3）,C,E,A,15/78,Comprehensive Reading,Text A,Why are Some People Unhappy in Their Jobs,Suggested Reading Time:6 min,.,1.Why are so many people unhappy in their jobs?There are two primary reasons.First,some people are convinced that earning a living is wasting time that they could spend enjoying themselves or uncovering their true talents.,为何有如此多人不喜欢自己工作？究其原因主要有两个。第一个原因是，有些人深信，天天为了生计而工作，没有时间享受人生或发挥天赋，极大地浪费了自己人生,翻译,16/78,Comprehensive Reading,2.If this is the case with you,recall your last long vacation.Was it two weeks of complete enjoyment?More likely it was a week and a half of fun in the sun,with another half a week of“Boy,I cant wait to get back to work.”,翻译,假如你也是这么认为，回顾一下在过去你曾度过漫长假期。在两个星期里，你有没有完全沉醉于享乐当中？很有可能是，在一个半星期时间里，你在漂亮阳光下尽情地开心，而在余下半个星期里，你会不厌其烦地自言自语，“天啊！我迫不及待地想回去上班。”,17/78,Comprehensive Reading,If you didnt feel such vacation,blues,imagine taking a leave of absence.You could use it to work on a novel,enroll,in classes or just sit around watching TV.At the end of three months,in all likelihood,your self-esteem would be at,an all-time low,.,翻译,假如你没有经历过这么假期忧郁，那么你能够构想离开一段时间出去度假。你能够利用这段假期认真地阅读一部小说，或报名参加一些培训课程，或无所事事地看电视。在三个月假期即将结束时，你自尊很有可能已经到达了你人生中最低点。,blues 抑郁，沮丧,enroll 注册；加入,all-time low 空前地低,18/78,Comprehensive Reading,While all work and no play is not,good,all play and no work is disastrous.We need to feel we are accomplishing something.We also need some form of order in our lives.,翻译,然而，只知道埋头工作，不知道放松身心是不可取，而只知道享乐，不知道努力工作也会带来恶果。人需要有种使命感。人也需要遵照一定秩序来生活,19/78,Comprehensive Reading,3.The second and perhaps more prevalent reason for people not to like their work is that they feel trapped.Once youve been at a company for five years and have a,spouse,a,mortgage,and a child,you often feel you have very little choice about,jumping ship,if things arent turning out as youd planned.A steady paycheck can be the biggest,manacle,of all.People resent having to do something because they have no other choice.,spouse 配偶,mortgage 抵押,贷款,jump ship 跳槽,manacle 镣铐,20/78,Comprehensive Reading,人们厌倦工作第二个原因，可能是一个愈加普遍原因，是他们以为自己被工作束缚了。一旦参加了工作，并在一家企业工作了五个年头以后，找到了自己生活伴侣，之后支付按揭贷款，再之后要生儿育女。假如很多事情没有按照你计划进行，你经常会发觉你别无选择，难下“贼”船。一份稳定收入反而可能成了最大束缚。人们极其厌恶因为别无选择而必须去做某件事情,翻译,21/78,Comprehensive Reading,4.If you find yourself resenting your job because you cant afford,to quit,it may be time to prepare what one career counselor humorously calls a“,cyanide capsule,”.,cyanide capsule,氰化物胶囊,翻译,假如你发觉你自己因担负不起辞职后果，而对当前工作产生反感，可能你该为自己准备一些被某位职业顾问幽默地称之为“氰化物胶囊(有剧毒)”东西了,22/78,Comprehensive Reading,He recalls spy movies in which the secret agent has such a capsule hidden somewhere on his body.If hes captured and tortured unbearably,he has an option.And having an option gives him the strength to hold on a little longer in the hope that the situation may change.,翻译,他（职业顾问）想起了一部关于间谍电影，影片中那名地下特工人员将氰化物胶囊藏在自己身体某个部位。当他不幸被捕，却无法忍受酷刑时，他能够选择服毒。这么选择使他能继续支撑下去，希望情况会有所转机,23/78,Comprehensive Reading,5.Rather than cyanide,your option takes the form of an up-to-date rsum.You might take a weekly glance through the help-wanted section,and make some visits to,industry functions,where,low-key,networking can take place.,industry 行业,function 重大社交聚会；功效,low-key 低调,翻译,你选择当然不是“氰化物胶囊”而是一份全新求职履历书。你很可能要花上一个星期时间浏览招聘版上全部招工信息，往返于各个行业部门之间，这些部门并不是很看重“关系”,24/78,Comprehensive Reading,Youre not giving up on your current job.Rather,you are.If things get unbearable at work,you could jump ship.Being in this position,can do wonders for your attitude.It allows you to enjoy your work since,in reality,you are there only because you want to be.,翻译,你不是在放弃当前从事工作，相反，你是在给自己创造一个选择机会。假如你对当前工作难以忍受，那么这意味着你能够跳槽了。这么态度创造出奇迹。实际上，因为这是一份你想从事工作，你才能从中享受到乐趣。,25/78,Comprehensive Reading,6.At the core of adopting a positive attitude to your workplace is,above all,assuming responsibility for your own situation.Most people feel controlled by their environment,but they really arent.They have to learn to manage that environment so they can get from it what they need.,翻译,用主动态度对待工作是处理本身情况关键。许多人以为受制于环境。不过事实并非如此。人们必须学会怎样应对所处环境，才能从中取得所想要得到乐趣,26/78,Comprehensive Reading,Task 1,Figure out the topic of each paragraph with the development,of the content.,The topic of Paragraph 1:_,2.The topic of Paragraph 2:_,3.The topic of Paragraph 3:_,Earning a living is wasting time,Play and work,People feel trapped,27/78,Comprehensive Reading,4.The topic
