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 onimproving their attitude often meet with success.第3页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社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.第4页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社Attitude Towards WorkReading Skill FocusWords and ExpressionsPractical ReadingComprehensive Reading第5页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社Reading Skill FocusPredicting 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.第6页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社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 ConnectorsExamplesTransition（转折）but,however,unfortunately,although,on the contrary,on the other handCause and Effect（因果）because,since,as a result(of),consequently,thus,thereforeSupplement（递进）furthermore,not only.but also.,moreover,in additionContrast（对比）while,whereas,in contrastExamplification（举例）for example,for instance,such as第7页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社Reading Skill FocusAGuided PracticeSample 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 explainedB.this is not universally seen to be appropriate in all contextsC.humor frequently contains an unexpected,often sudden,shift in perspectiveD.humor is essential to build a good business relationship第8页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社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”。第9页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社Reading Skill FocusSample 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.第10页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社Reading Skill Focus The next paragraph is most likely to talk about _.A.high context environmentB.family traditionsC.low contextD.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第11页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社Reading Skill FocusB.Challenge YourselfChallenge 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第12页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社Reading Skill FocusA.People will pay more attention to a humorous commercial than a factual or serious one,opening themselves up to be influenced.B.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.第13页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社Reading Skill FocusChallenge 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.第14页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社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）CEA第15页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社Comprehensive ReadingText AWhy are Some People Unhappy in Their JobsSuggested 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大地浪费了自己人生 翻译翻译第16页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社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.”翻译翻译假如你也是这么认为，回顾一下在过去你曾度过漫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，不厌其烦地自言自语，“天啊！我迫不及待地想回天啊！我迫不及待地想回去上班。去上班。”第17页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社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.翻译翻译假如你没有经历过这么假期忧郁，那么你能够构想离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。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 空前地低第18页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社Comprehensive Reading While all work and no play is notgood,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.翻译翻译然而，只知道埋头工作，不知道放松身心然而，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也需要遵照一定秩序来生活 第19页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社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 镣铐第20页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社Comprehensive Reading 人们厌倦工作第二个原因，可能是一个愈加普遍原因，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，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，难下没有按照你计划进行，你经常会发觉你别无选择，难下“贼贼”船。一份稳定收入反而可能成了最大束缚。人们船。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极其厌恶因为别无选择而必须去做某件事情 翻译翻译第21页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社Comprehensive Reading 4.If you find yourself resenting your job because you cant affordto quit,it may be time to prepare what one career counselor humorously calls a“cyanide capsule”.cyanide capsule氰化物胶囊翻译翻译假如你发觉你自己因担负不起辞职后果，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己准备一些被某位职业顾问幽默地称之为为“氰化物胶囊氰化物胶囊(有剧毒有剧毒)”东西了东西了 第22页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社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.翻译翻译他（职业顾问）想起了一部关于间谍电影，影片中那他（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。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。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这么选择使他能继续支撑下去，希望情况会有所转机

低调翻译翻译你选择当然不是你选择当然不是“氰化物胶囊氰化物胶囊”而是一份全而是一份全新求职履历书。你很可能要花上一个星期时新求职履历书。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行业部门之间，这些部门并不是很看重“关关系系”第24页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社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 positioncan do wonders for your attitude.It allows you to enjoy your work since,in reality,you are there only because you want to be.翻译翻译你不是在放弃当前从事工作，相反，你是在给自己创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，你才能从中享受到上，因为这是一份你想从事工作，你才能从中享受到乐趣。乐趣。第25页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社Comprehensive

arent.They have to learn to manage that environment so they can get from it what they need.翻译翻译用主动态度对待工作是处理本身情况关键。许多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须学会怎样应对所处环境，才能从中取得所想要得到乐趣得到乐趣 第26页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社Comprehensive ReadingTask 1 Figure
