You may think I want to change my job. Well, at the moment I do. As one of my friends says－even doctors have a few friends－it"s all experience. Experience! I don"t need such experience. I need a warm, comfortable, undisturbed bed of my own. I need it badly. I need all telephones to be thrown down the nearest well, that"s what I need.
All these thoughts fly round my head as I drive my Mini (微型汽车) through the foggy streets of East London at 3?45 a. m. on a December morning. I am a ministering angel in a Mini with a heavy coat and a bag of medicines. As I speed down Lea Bridge in the dark at this horrible morning hour, the heater first blowing hot then cold, my back aching from the carseat, I do not feel like a ministering angel. I wish I were on the beach in Southern France. Call me a bad doctor if you like. Call me what you will. But don"t call me at half past three on a December morning for an earache that you have had for two weeks.
Of course, being a doctor isn"t really all bad. We do have our moments. Once in a while people are ill, once in a while you can help, once in a while you get given a cup of tea and rockhard cake at two o"clock in the morning－then you worry if you have done everything. But all too often "everything" is a repeating rule: look, listen, feel, tap. Pills, injection, phone, ambulance, away to the next.
And then there is always the cool, warm voice of the girl on the switchboard(总机) of the emergency bed service who will get your patient into hospital for you－the pleasant voice that comes to you as you stand in the cold, dark, smelly, dirty telephone box somewhere in a dangerous section of town. Oh, it has its moments, this life does.

| When first entered, Vanak Restaurant does not look like much of a restaurant, but once the pleasant smells of kabob(烤肉串)hit the senses, you are incapable of calling it anything less. Owned by a local couple, this Persian restaurant has an inviting, homelike atmosphere that many restaurants lack. The space is small with only a few dining tables and nearly no decoration,but the environment is truly charming. Lying in a hardly noticeable street corner,the restaurant still attracts all customers,especially those experienced in the delights of Middle Eastern cooking. A common sight is that of old Persian men sitting in the corner talking loudly about world topics, watching news events on TV,drinking a black tea known as Persian chai,and reading local Persian newspapers all the while trying to finish off their plates piled with food. The variety of food at the restaurant is limited,but the amount of each dish is fairly large.Most of the meals can serve two people and are under $10,so not only is it affordable but practical as well. The food especially appeals to healthconscious eaters because each dish is very healthy,made with limited fat and oil and served straight off the grill (烤肉架). The main dish that the restaurant is popular for is its kabobs,which are different styles of grilled meat. One delicious and extremely healthy dish is the Joojeh Kabob,which is made of grilled chicken pieces served with either rice or bread.Another great kabob is the Chelo Kabob, a kabob consisting of grilled beef.

| 任务型读写 请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词. 注意:每个空格只填1 个单词. When we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But what are these really and how do they operate? Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. Even if this is possible, it is shortterm, and tends to backfire( 产生事与愿违的后果). If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel they must, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the longterm. 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 associate 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 has no place in 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 became fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivations. 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 paycheck is not the single most motivating 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 relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.
