Generally speaking, a British is widely regarded as a quiet, shy and conservative (保守) person who is only among those with whom he is familiar. When a stranger is present, he often seems nervous, embarrassed. You have to take a commuter train (通勤车) any morning or evening to the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or off in a corner; hardly anybody talks, since to do so would be considered quite offensive (冒犯的).
, there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior, which, once , makes the offender immediately the object of .
One of the few things we can say about the British with certainty is that a British takes a(n) to the discussion of their weather and that, if given a chance, he will talk about it . Some people argue that it is because the British weather follows forecast and thus becomes a source of interest to everyone. This may be so. Certainly a British cannot have much in the weathermen, whose predictions, in many cases, to be wrong! The man in the street seems to be as accurate – or as inaccurate – as the weathermen in his .
Foreigners may be surprised at the number of references weather that the British make to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conversational greetings are by comments on the weather. “Nice day, isn’t it?” “Beautiful day!” may well be heard instead of “Good morning, how are you?” the foreigner may consider this exaggerated (夸大) and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his . If he wants to start a conversation with a British but is to know where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a(n) subject to which a response may well be of even the most reserved of the British.

The western world has always been divided into two types of people—the cool and the uncool. It is a division that in school. The cool kids are good at .They are with the opposite sex .They are good-looking and people want to their style. They can do their homework but they don’t make a big effort. That would be cool.
The uncool kids are in the other corner of the playground. They are very bright ,but they don’t have great skills and they are at sports .When they are not programming computers or doing calculus（微积分）in their heads ,they are reading comic books and watching shows like the “X Files” .They are as the geeks.

Laziness is a state of inaction. It is something that you do, not something that you are. Being lazy means you have no to do anything. This is obvious but the mistake that many people make is themselves as someone who is lazy.
Lazy people are often seen as useless. , are they really being lazy or are they acting lazy? There is a huge difference between saying you are lazy sometimes and you are a lazy person. One is suggesting that your laziness is while the other suggests that it’s permanent. This is the myth of laziness. People who are lazy aren’t lazy; they are people who are temporarily acting that way.
So what causes a person to be inactive? The answer is a lack of goals. If you give someone a good enough to do something, he will do it. People who don’t seem to do anything just haven’t found a good enough reason to do something. Lazy students don’t study because they don’t see the in studying. For example, if you are too lazy to clean out the garage, would someone a gun to your head help you take action? The reason can be positive or negative it’s strong enough to induce(引起) action.
To motivate someone who is lazy, what you need to do is to help him find enough to work towards a certain goal.

Over the past few decades, more and more countries have opened up the markets, increasingly transforming the world economy into one free-flowing global market. The question is：Is economic globalization for all?
According to the World Bank, one of its chief supporters, economic globalization has helped reduce in a large number of developing countries. It quotes one study that shows increased wealth to improved education and longer life in twenty-four developing countries as a result of integration (融合) of local economies into the world economy. Home to some three billion people, these twenty-four countries have seen incomes at an average rate of five percent—compared to two percent in developed countries.
Those who globalization claim that economies in developing countries will benefit from new opportunities for small and home-based businesses. , small farmers in Brazil who produce nuts that would originally have sold only in open-air markets can now promote their goods worldwide by the Internet.
Critics take a different view, believing that economic globalization is actually the gap between the rich and poor. A study carried out by the U.N.-sponsored World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization shows that only a few developing countries have actually from integration into the world economy and that the poor, the uneducated, unskilled workers, and native peoples have been left behind. , they maintain that globalization may eventually threaten emerging businesses. For example, Indian craftsmen who currently seem to benefit from globalization because they are able to their products may soon face fierce competition that could put them out of . When large-scale manufacturers start to produce the same goods, or when superstores like Wal-Mart move in, these small businesses will not be able to and will be crowded out.
One thing is certain about globalization—there is no . Advances in technology combined with more open policies have already created an interconnected world. The now is finding a way to create a kind of globalization that works for the benefit of all.

Language is the most astonishing behavior in the animal kingdom. It is the species-typical behavior that sets humans completely 36 from all other animals. Language is a means of 37 , but it is much more than that. Many animals can 38 . The dance of the honeybee communicates the location of flowers 39 other members of the hive (蜂群). But human language permits communication about anything, 40 things like unicorns (独角兽) that have never existed. The key 41 in the fact that different words can be 42 together in different ways, according to 43 to communicate different meanings.
Language is the most important learning we do. Nothing can 44 humans so much as our ability to communicate abstract 45 , whether about the university, the mind, love, dreams, or ordering a drink. It is an extremely complex 46 that we take for granted. Indeed, we are not aware of most 47 of our speech and understanding. Consider what happens when one person is speaking to 48 . The speaker has to translate thoughts into 49 language. Brain imaging studies suggest that the time from thoughts to the 50 of speech is extremely fast. Only 0.04 seconds! The listener must hear the sounds to 51 what the speaker means. He must use the sounds of speech to 52 the spoken words, understand the pattern of 53 of the words (sentences), and finally 54 the meaning. This takes somewhat longer, a minimum of about 0.5 seconds. But once started, it is of course a(n) 55 process.

Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might go home and write in his diary; now, a teenager with 26 problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog（博客）．In many ways, a diary and a blog are very 27 ．But what makes blogging different from writing in a（n） 28 diary?
The biggest difference is that a blog is much more 29 than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of 30 that he does not want to 31 with others.
It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog 32 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her 33 . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test. 34 I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but 35 in my dairy. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was 36 that my sister might read it.
The biggest 37 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 38 about him in my diary, he would never know. 39 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend might 40 her blog and get angry.
There are also 41 to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “ Nobody cares about me”, because no one would 42 about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would quickly 43 and tell her how much they 44 her. Blogs help people 45 in contact with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.

To advertise effectively today, you must abandon the old-school idea of “reaching the masses”. All advertising is local and personal. The key to effective advertising today is to focus on the 45 .
Some are the 46 ways every advertiser could work out. You can print a specific offer of your goods or service on door-hangers and place them on doorknobs in your area. Door-hangers on doorknobs will produce results in direct 47 about the strength of your offer. If you need to reach the drivers, flyer (宣传单) under windshield (挡风玻璃) wipers may have better effect than door-hangers. Imagine, how 48 if you hire someone to be a walking ad or launch a T-shirt advertising, 49 , you can print your products on T-shirts of your 50 . In the early 1970s “Hamp Baker says Drive with Care” was spray-painted on cars, which was a public service ad. Ever since, spray-painted sign has become more and more 51 .
More grand ways are as follows: virtual showroom. Build a website to 52 a virtual showroom. Use it when people call to ask 53 about your company, your products or your services. Also you can even use an old slide projector to put on a nighttime show. They’re 54 effective, and in the long run, cheap. Nothing is quite as powerful as a public 55 that seizes the public’s attention. You can invite a band to give a performance. 56 , you can hire famous models to show it vividly.
Nothing screams “expert” quite as loudly as a book written about a subject. You simply can’t 57 the power of your name on the cover of a book. You might only sell a few copies online, but the copies you give away in your town will make you a fortune. You won’t make money on the book. You’ll make it because of the book.
Of course, word-of-mouth is the best way to promote your 58 . Friends and past customers recommend your products to their family, friends and colleagues. Word-of-mouth works because the 59 is based on previous positive experiences.
