overweight. They don"t want people to see them sunbathing and they don"t want to have to squeeze into
plane seats. But now, thanks to the growing number of weight-friendly holiday packages, the overweight
are having their days in the sun.
"Overweight people will have a great time an our holidays as we don"t judge them like other people
do," said Liz Nickels, owner of Big Adventures, a US based company that hosts scuba-diving-a sport
of swimming underwater while breathing through a tube connected to a tank on your back for large
people. As a way to keep up with the demand for extra-large accommodation, many hotels in the US
have started to offer features such as wide beds and handheld showers. But the best in plus-size
vacationing lies at Mexico"s Freedom Paradise, a112-room resort(度假胜地) opening this month,
which urges guests to "Live Large, Live Free".
The hotel has broad doorways, reinforced (加固) furniture and extra large chairs. It also boasts
(自夸) a private beach to protect people from the stares that can occur on public beaches. "It"s not a
hotel just for large people. It"s a size-friendly place where anyone can enjoy a holiday," said owner
Jurrian Kilnk. "What we noticed was that a lot of oversized people don"t feel comfortable at resorts. "
Staff members of all sizes are hired by the hotel to make overweight people feel OK.
Though many welcome the new service, some feel differently. "I have a real problem with this," said
Nancy Lenhart, owner of Camp La Jolla, a Californian weight-loss and fitness camp.
"If you talk about oversized beds and doorways, you are throwing their weight in their faces.
Overweight people want to be normalized. They shouldn"t be discriminated against like this. "
B. they don"t want to be looked at
C. the planes are too crowded
D. the hotels are not open to them
A. there are some free packages for the overweight
B. people are friendly to the overweight
C. special holiday tour for the overweight
D. the overweight can lose weight
B. only for larger people
C. jumping from the platform
D. underwater
B. only intended for larger people
C. where everything is oversized
D. where larger people can live for free
B. it"s easy to know they"re overweight
C. their faces seem bigger than others
D. you can make them lose weight
information than ever before. There is not enough time to read everything we want to read. However,
you can consume more information in shorter time through speed-reading. This article will not make you
read 3 000 words per minute, but it will show you how to increase your speed significantly. You will also
learn the basic techniques of speed-reading, along with the do"s and don"ts of speed-reading.
When you first learned to read, you would say the word out aloud and sound it out. Then you might
whisper the word because people can become annoyed when you read aloud. The stage you are now at
is saying the word in your head. Most people tend to read this way. Saying the word in your head will
cut your reading speed tremendously(极大地) .
How do you calculate your reading speed? The speed is measured by how many words per minute
you can read. Get some reading material, preferably a book. Find out how many words are on the page.
Time yourself for one minute. Start your timer and start reading. When the timer beeps, stop. If you
counted 500 words on the page and you read half of the page, and then you are
probably reading at 250 words per minute.
The first thing about speed-reading is looking at the word and recognizing it. Don"t say the word in
your mind, just look at it and recognize its importance. Later you will recognize clumps of four words or
more to increase your speed. This is the first and most important step in speed reading.
The next step is technique. As with any other skill, speed-reading requires technique. You should first
be sitting up straight with your book flat on a horizontal(水平的) surface, such as a table desk. Next,
you should be able to see the entire page. This is necessary if you want to recognize clumps of words.
Lastly, you should be focused. It"s hard to read with a lot of noise. Find a quiet place to read. This will
help your understanding of the text. You need something to guide your eyes while reading. That"s right,
you should use your hand. Remember when you were little, you would read using your finger. That is a
great technique, only now you"re using your hand to underline each line, move your finger smoothly
across the page. No need to go rush, start out slow. Keep your eyes focused on the words as you
recognize them while using your hand as a guide. This will increase your speed.
The third step is practice. Practice makes perfect. Set time intervals(间歇). Read using different
techniques, but make sure you understand what you"re reading.
B. Now conditions ask people to use less time to know more information.
C. Now people can read what they like.
D. Now the less you read, the more time you will spend.
B. Why we need speed-reading.
C. Now it is much information time.
D. People should practice speed-reading in different kinds of ways.
B. your feelings will be hurt while reading
C. a person should smooth away difficulties while he reads
D. you should pay attention to your faults while you are reading
seeds of success were planted within you when you were born.Only you have the power to make those
seeds grow.
The seeds and the power to grow them are contained in the human mind.Success is a choice but not
a chance.You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing yourselfesteem (自尊). Your level of selfesteem is
always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life.
People with low selfesteem do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives.They
are leaves tossed (摇摆) by the winds of chance brought about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible
for whatever happens in your life.Failures think that everything happens by accident while successful
people realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something.If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect.
We are responsible for what we consciously choose to accept and believe.Thoughts and beliefs cause
everything.Our attitudes and actions are a result of habits ingrained in us over a period of time.One
generally rises to the level that one expects.We are responsible for setting our expectations.Our success
depends upon our level of confidence.We are responsible for either reinforcing good habits or kicking
bad habits and consciously replacing them with consistently practiced good habits.
If you associate with positivethinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success.On the
contrary, the opposite happens.We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing (培育) the seeds
that contain future victory, born from setbacks.
In short, in all areas of your life, whether they are financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are
responsible.Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.
1. Losers would think that________.
A. success is the result of hard work
B. working hard will lead to success
C. they fail only because of bad luck
D. they don"t make efforts to succeed

Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things.Even if this is possible, it is shortterm, and
tends to produce unexpected and unwanted results.If you order someone to do something against their
will, they may do it because they feel they have to, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long
term.They will also experience fear.
Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best.If
they connect you with this emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have
succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner
unable to perform effectively.Fear does no good to leadership.
The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use
of emotion.We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work day; or we can
employ them at the emotional level, so they will become fully devoted to the projects and provide some
of their own motivation.Today"s work place is all about relationships.
Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which they"re recognized and valued as a human
being as well as a worker.Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like.Leaders understand
the way things work.They know the pay check is not the single most important factor in the work life of
most people.
The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional
intelligence-knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others.Developing your
emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationship with
people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.
1. The writer thinks that it is not________for us to connect leadership with strength and power.
A. possible
B. necessary
C. easy
D. effective
2. People may NOT be working hard when________.
A. they"re regarded as human beings
B. they like their leaders
C. money is taken as the most important
D. leaders understand the way things work
3. From the passage, we can conclude that________is the key to making a good leader.
A. developing one"s emotional intelligence
B. in fluencing others in one"s own way
C. producing some unexpected results
D. having confidence in one"s ability
4. This passage is most helpful to those who________.
A. have strength and power
B. are going to make a speech
C. would like to be leaders
D. are to be excellent employees
You"re out to dinner.The food is delicious and the service is fine.You decide to leave a big fat tip.
Why? The answer may not be as simple as you think.
Tipping, psychologists have found, is not just about service.Instead, studies have shown that tipping
can be affected by psychological reactions to a series of different factors from the waiter"s choice of
words, to how they carry themselves while taking orders, to the bill"s total.Even how much waiters
remind customers of themselves can determine how much change they pocket by the end of the night.
"Studies before have shown that mimicry (模仿) brings into positive feelings for the mimicker,
"wrote Rick van Baaren, a social psychology professor."These studies show that people who are being
mimicked become more generous toward the person who mimicks them."
So Rick van Baaren divided 59 waiters into two groups.He requested that half serve with a phrase
such as, "Coming up!"Those in the other half were instructed to repeat the orders and preferences back
to the customers.Rick van Baaren then compared their takehome pay.The results were clear-it pays to
mimic your customer.The copycat (模仿者) waiters earned almost double the amount of tips to the other
group.
Leonard Green and Joel Myerson, psychologists at Washington University in St.Louis, found the
generosity of a tipper may be limited by his bill.After research on the 1,000 tips left for waiters,
cabdrivers, hair stylists, they found tip percentages in these three areas dropped as customers" bills went
up.In fact, tip percentages appear to plateau (稳定期) when bills topped $100 and a bill for $200 made
the worker gain no bigger percentage tip than a bill for $100.
"That"s also a point of tipping, " Green says."You have to give a little extra to the cabdriver for being
there to pick you up and something to the waiter for being there to serve you.If they weren"t there, you"d
never get any service.So part of the idea of a tip is for just being there."
1. Apart from service, how many other factors affecting the customers"tipping are mentioned in the
passage?
A. 1.
B. 2.
C. 3.
D. 4.
2. These studies show that________.
A. tipping can be affected by physical reactions to many different waiters
B. people who are being mimicked usually tip less to the person who mimics them
C. the mimic waiters can get almost twice as much money as those who don"t mimick others
D. mimicry makes the mimicker feel bad
3. According to the passage, which of the following will be likely to show the right change of
the tip percentages?
4. We know from the passage that the writer seems to________.
A. object to Mr Green"s idea about tipping
B. think part of Mr Green"s explanation is reasonable
C. give his generous tip to waiters very often
D. support the opinions of Mr Green and Rick van Baaren about tipping
