Interpersonal relationships are one of the most important foundations of all human behaviors. These types of relationships are those that take place between a minimum of two people. Interpersonal relationships can be very diverse, ranging from long-lasting romantic unions to simple, brief interactions in professional settings. Improving your interpersonal skills can greatly enhance your relationships with others.
Appreciation
It is very common for a person to notice details about another that, simply put, he does not like. Although these feelings are quite normal, they are not always proctive to nurturing interpersonal relationships. Instead of focusing on pointing out what you do not approve of, try to look at the bright side of life, and concentrate about what you do authentically appreciate about the other person, instead. The more you convey that you appreciate a person, the more likely he will be to continue the positive behaviors.
Smiling
Body language alone can have an effect on the quality of your interpersonal relationships. As a general rule, people dislike being in the company of someone that is perpetually unhappy. To avoid being this unpleasant person, go out of your way to establish an environment that is positive, encouraging and bright. The more positive your aura is, the more people will be compelled to be around you. One easy way to do this is by smiling often. Look people directly in the eye and genuinely smile at them, even if you do not know them personally.
Listening
Strong listening skills are vital for enhancing interpersonal skills and relationships. Focus on
other people, and make it a point to listen far more than you actually talk. Express an authentic interest in others, and provide your undivided attention at all times. Ask many questions, from where a person grew up to her preferred pastimes. This can enhance interpersonal relationships, as most people really enjoy discussing themselves.

Stars without the stripes
A US-style project-led model means long hours and burn-out. Why we can't be more like Europe, asks Richard Scase
Managing cultural diversity is a core component of most MBA programmes these days. The growth of Japanese corporations in the Sixties and Seventies reminded us that there were other models of business than those taught by Harvard professors and US-based management consultants. And the cultural limits to the American model have more recently been underlined by developments in Russia and central Europe over the past decade.
Yet in Britain, we are still more ready to accept the American model of management than most other European countries. As a result, UK managers often fail to understand how business practices are fundamentally different on the Continent. One outcome is that many mergers and acquisitions, strategic alliances and joint ventures between British and European companies do not achieve their objectives and end in tears. The tribulations of Marks & Spencer in France are a case in point.
Alternatively, managers may avoid a merger or joint venture which makes sense from a hard-nosed strategic point of view because they fear that different working practices will prevent their goals from being achieved.
Essentially, Anglo-Saxon companies are structured on the principles of project management. In the Eighties, companies were downsized, with tiers of management eliminated. In the Nineties, management fashion embraced the ideas of business process re-engineering, so organisations were broken down into customer-focused trading units. Sometimes these were established as subsidiary companies, at other times as profit-and-loss or cost centres.
Over the past 10 years, these principles have been applied as vigorously to the UK public sector as to private-sector corporations. Hospitals, schools, universities, social services departments, as well as large areas of national government, now operate on project management principles - all with built-in operational targets, key success factors and performance-related reward systems.
The underlying objectives for this widespread process of organisational restructuring have been to increase the transparency of operations, encourage personal accountability, become more efficient at delivering service to customer and directly relate rewards to performance.
The result is a management culture which is entrepreneurially oriented and focused almost entirely on the short term, and highly segmented organisational structures - since employee incentives and rewards are geared to the activities of their own particular unit.
This business model has also required development of new personal skills. We are now encouraged to lead, rather than to manage by setting goals and incentive systems for staff. We have to be co-operative team members rather than work on our own. We have to accept that, in flattened and decentralised organisations, there are very limited career prospects. We are to be motivated by target-related rewards rather than a longer-term commitment to our employing organisation.
This is in sharp contrast to the model of management that applies elsewhere in Europe. The principles of business process re-engineering have never been fully accepted in France, Germany and the other major economies; while in Russia, the attempt to apply them in the Nineties brought the economy virtually to its knees, and created huge opportunities for corrupt middle managers and Mafia-led ventures.
Instead, continental European companies have stuck to the bureaucratic model which delivered economic growth for them throughout the twentieth century. European corporations continue to be structured hierarchically, with clearly defined job descriptions and explicit channels of reporting. Decision making, although incorporating consultative processes, remains essentially top-down.
Which of these two models is preferable? Certainly, the downside of the Anglo-American model is now becoming evident, not least in the long-hours working culture that the application of the decentralised project management model inevitably generates.
Whether in a hospital, a software start-up or a factory, the breakdown of work processes into project-driven targets leads to overoptimistic goals and underestimates of the resources needed. The result is that the success of projects often demands excessively long working hours if the targets are to be achieved.
Further, the success criteria, as calibrated in performance targets, are inevitably arbitrary, and the source of ongoing dispute. Witness the objections of teachers and medics to the performance measures applied to them by successive governments. This is not surprising: in a factory procing cars the output of indivials is directly measurable. But what criteria can be used to measure output and performance in knowledge-based activities such as R&D labs, government offices and even the marketing departments of large corporations?
The demands and stresses of operating according to the Anglo-American model seem to be leading to increasing rates of personnel burn-out. It is not surprising that managers queue for early retirement (in a recent survey, just a fifth said they would work to 65). This could be why labour market participation rates have declined so dramatically for British 50-year-olds in the past 20 years.
By contrast, the European management model allows for family-friendly employment policies and working hours directives to be implemented. It encourages staff to have a long-term psychological commitment to their employing organisations.
Of course, companies operating on target-focused project management principles may be committed to family-friendly employment policies in theory. But, if the business plan has to be finished by the end of the month, the advertising campaign completed by the end of next week, and patients pushed through the system to achieve measurable targets, are we really going to let down our 'team' by clocking out at 5pm and taking our full entitlement of annual leave?
Perhaps this is why we admire the French for their quality of life.
Richard Scase is professor of Organisational Behaviour at the University of Kent and author of Britain in 2010: the changing business landscape (Capstone, £9.99).

1.Learning:A Lifelong Career【学习:一生的事业】
As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food. Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity. Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.
Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.
学习之于心灵,就像食物之于身体一样。摄取了适量的营养食物,我们的身体得以生长而肌肉得以发达。同样地,我们应该日复一日不断地学习以保持我们敏锐的心智能力,并扩充我们的智力容量。不断的学习提供我们用不尽的燃料,来驱使我们磨利我们的推理、分析和判断的能力。持续的学习是在信息时代中跟时代并驾齐驱的最稳当的方法,也是在变动的世代中成功的可靠保证。
一旦学习停止,单调贫乏的生活就开始了。视学校为汲取知识的唯一场所是种常见的谬误。相反地,学习应该是一种无终止的历程,从生到死。由于世界一直快速地在变动,只要学习停顿数日就将使人落后。更糟的是,蛰伏在我们潜意识深处的兽性本能就会复活,削弱我们追求高贵理想的意志,弱化我们扫除成功障碍的决心,而且扼杀我们净化我们人格的欲望。缺少学习将不可避免地导致心灵的停滞,甚至更糟地,使其僵化。因此,为了保持心理年轻,我们必须将学习当作一生的事业。
2.heavy shoolwork【课业繁重】
In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy. While it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded alts. High should be allowed more time for play. Plying is not wasting time, as some think. It gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination. Which tends to be stifled by too much study. Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally. I do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork. I do think, however, that a rection of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole.
我认为目前高中生的课业实在太重了,虽然说学生的确应当念书,但是要想长大成为健全的人,他门还需要一些其它的东西,所以应该给高中生较多从事娱乐的时间。娱乐并不如某些人所想的,是在浪费时间,它可以让学生锻炼身体,发挥被繁重课业扼杀的想象力。此外,繁重的课业加诸在高中生身上的压力可能引起严重的情绪紧张,这对身心都有害。我并非主张废除学校课业,但是我认为减轻目前繁重的课业对于学生和整个社会都是有益的。
3.Time【时间】
Lost time is never found again. This is something which I learned very clearly last semester. I spent so much time fooling around that my grades began to suffer. I finally realized that something had to be done. It was time for a change.
Now I have a new plan for using my time wisely. I have set my alarm clock ahead half an hour. This will give me a head start on the day. I have also decided to keep a log of what I do and when I do it. Looking back on what I’ve done will give me some ideas on how to reorganize my time.
时光一去不复返,这是我上学期清楚学到的教训。我浪费很多时间四处游荡,以致于我的成绩开始退步。最后我终于了解到我必须有所作为;该是痛改前非的时候了。
现在我有一个明智运用时间的新方法。我已将闹钟早拨半小时,这将使我这一天的作息提前开始。我也决定将我所做的一切及做这些事的时间记录下来。回顾我所做的事情会启发我如何重新安排我的时间。
4.Work and Play【工作与娱乐】
Work and play do not contradict each other; in fact, they complement each other. As the saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a ll boy." A life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work. On the other hand, proper recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions.
What I usually do to relax after school is jogging and seeing movies. Usually I don't spare time for exercise, but I value the physical ecation class at school. Jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the day's pressure. On weekends, I'll catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment. I feel revived and energetic for another week's work-load.
工作与娱乐并不互相冲突,事实上,它们之间的关系还相辅相成。有句格言说:「整日工作而没有休闲娱乐,会令人变得沉闷乏味。」被工作重担压得喘不过气来的生活,将使你一事无成,因为你将对一成不变的例行公事感到厌烦。由另一方面来说,适度的娱乐活动能提供各种管道,来渲泄你被压抑的情绪,减轻单调生活中的紧张与不悦。
放学之后,我最常做的休闲活动,便是慢跑与看电影。通常我并不特地拨出时间来做运动,但是我很重视学校的体育课。在操场上慢跑几圈,无疑地可以减轻一天的压力。在周末时,我都去看早场电影,享受视觉飨宴。如此一来,我将有如再生般的充沛活力,去面对下一星期的工作量。
5.My first Job【我的第一份工作】
My first job was at a cramming school. It was three years ago when I just graated from junior high school and finished the entrance examination. since I had nothing to do that summer, I decided to find a job, tasting the joy of independence.
I was responsible for answering the telephone and taking the message. I worked eight hours a day, six days a week. The work was not difficult nor heavy to me and I guess I did well. The most delighted thing was perhaps that I could spend the money I earned all by myself.
我的第一份工作是在一家补习班做事。那是三年前我刚从国中毕业,考完联考时的事了。既然我那整个夏天都闲着没事,倒不如找份差事,尝尝独立赚钱的快乐。
我负责接听电话且纪录留言的工作。我一天工作八小时,一星期工作六天。那份工作对我而言既不困难亦不沉重,所以我想我还满称职的。而最令人快乐的事大概莫过于花全部由自己赚来的钱了!
6.My Favorite Sports【我最喜爱的运动】
Sports help everyone to keep healthy, happy, and efficient. So I pay special attention to games, especially table-tennis. Table tennis is my favorite game. I play it almost every day.
Table-tennis is an ideal game us because it brings the whole body into action. It strengthens our muscles, expands our lungs, promotes the circulation of the blood, and causes a healthy action of the skin. Besides, it is very amusing and does not cost us much money. Table-tennis is very moderate; it is not so rough as football. It is an indoor game and can be played even on rainy days. Thus, it is my favorite kind of exercise.
运动能帮助每一个人保持健康、快乐和有效率。所以我特别重视运动,特别是桌球,桌球是我最喜欢的运动。我几乎每天玩。
桌球对我们而言,是一项理想的运动,因为它可以使我们全身运动,它可以增强我们的肌肉,扩张我们的肺部,促进血液循环,并且使肌肤产生健康作用,此外,它很有趣而且所费不多。桌球是相当温和适中的,它不像足球那么粗野。它是一种室内运动,甚至在下雨天也能玩。因此,桌球是我最喜爱的一种运动。
7.经过一周的相处,我发现您是一个可爱而风趣的女士。上您的课时我总感觉时间飞逝。不过我还是不太习惯。不同于我们初中的学习方式的是,您总是在课堂上说口语。有时,我会发现您说的很难理解由于很快的语速、很多的生词。这使我感觉听课会很困难。对此我有一些建议。我希望您可以在最初的这段时间内,对您所用的生词多作解释。这将对我有很大帮助。谢谢。
希望我们能成为好朋友。我相信,以后听您的课时我们将十分自信与快乐。
I found that you are a lovely and humourous lady after getting along with you for a week. Time flies when I am in your class. However I am not used to your way of teaching. you always speak English in the class, which is different from the way in middle school. Sometimes I found it's difficult to follow you because your fast speed of speach and many new words. Therefore, I have some suggestions. I hope you could explain more about the new words you often use ring this period of time. I think it will be a great help for me. Thanks.
I hope that we can be good friends. I believe that we will be more self-confident and happier in your class.

We all know that English is very useful. Many people in the world speak English. So more and more people in China study it.
How to study English well? I think we must have a good way to study English. If you want to learn English well, listening, speaking, reading and writing are important. You should listen to tapes every day. You should often speak English with your teachers and friends. You should read English every morning. And, you had better keep a diary every day. In this way, you can study English well.
我们都知道英语很有用,世界上有许多人讲英语。所以中国也有越来越多的人学英语。

6. 如何阅读英文原版小说,谢谢!
【关于生词】
1、第一次碰到一个陌生的单词,先不要查字典,看看能不能根据当时的上下文猜出大致意思。但不管猜不猜得出来,都要把这个单词记忆一下。如果手边有纸笔就写下来(或者如果在电脑旁边就记到电脑里面),如果不方便记录也没有关系,在脑子里面大致保留个印象即可。
2、再一次碰到这个单词,首先印证一下上次自己的猜测是否在这里仍然适用。如果不适用,则结合两次的上下文,调整自己的猜测。如果还是猜不出来,也没有关系。最后,仍然需要把这个单词记忆一下(纸笔、电脑或者你的大脑),标示这个单词的出现次数(比如通过画“正”字)。
3、重复步骤1 - 2,但记住始终不要去查字典。直到阅读暂时告一段落。比如读完一个章节,或者读完自己预先计划的页数,或者生词实在太多没法往下继续(嘿~你是不是应该考虑选择另外一本书来阅读啊?)。然后来回顾一下我们收集的生词表,有哪些是我们猜出来了的,哪些是猜不出来的,哪些把握大,哪些把握小,然后再查字典一一印证。
随着阅读能力的提高,相信步骤3会出现得越来越晚,而那个生词表的长度也会越来越短。再往后,你甚至都可以省略这个生词表的实体,而是把生词记在脑子里。相信如果某几个单词很重要,它们一定会经常出现在你的读物中,不时地提醒你需要你去查字典并加强记忆。所以,这样连生词表也都免了。
【关于读物的选择】
1、选择一本小说之前,先考虑小说的主题或大致情节介绍,是否吸引自己?
2、其次,可以随便翻翻前几页,看看大致能理解其中的百分之多少?我觉得如果感觉自己可以理解百分之五六十以上的话,或许都可以尝试一下。如果太难,生词连篇,举步维艰,就会丧失了阅读的乐趣。如果太过于简单,则对于自己完全没有提高的作用。
3、关于题材,个人觉得现代侦破类、悬疑类题材似乎容易上手一些。没有太多专业术语,故事发生的年代和我们比较贴近,语言用词等也比较符合现代人的习惯。而且,情节一般也比较吸引人,能让你不断想读下去知道故事的结局。我曾经有一段时间比较喜欢看斯蒂芬.金的悬疑小说,因为他的语言还算比较通俗易懂,而且情节也比较吸引人。如果你不抵触他某些作品中的“惊悚”风格(并非全部作品),或许也是一个不错的选择。
【原则】
个人觉得,关键原则是:不能单纯地为了阅读而阅读,或者为了提高词汇量而阅读。必须要让阅读变成一个有趣的过程,去享受它。如果总是被查字典打断,那么完全不能随着作者的笔触在故事中畅游、体会故事的场景、体会角色的心情。慢慢地,就会丧失对于阅读的兴趣,强迫自己去阅读变成对自己的一种折磨。潜移默化的抵触情绪让你没法发自内心地去学习,阅读活动也就渐渐从多变少,从少变无了。
这几年,我基本上每天都坚持在上下班乘坐轻轨的途中阅读英文原版小说。虽然一天来回也就一共30-40分钟,但一路坚持下来已经读完了好几本小说(其中也不乏大部头)。
先要让阅读变成一种习惯、变成一种兴趣,然后才能从中收获更多。

课外活动。
10
年前,香港第一任行政长官董建华先
生,在
2001
年《政府施政报告》第
5
部分,向市民承诺“从
2002
年开始,政
府将采取措施,
加强小学的英语教学”。
怎么加强呢?有一种做法,
就是督促学
校在课外开展广泛的英语阅读活动。香港教育当局很重视推广阅读风气,
他们
下发给小学的指导文件里,
反复提到:
“英语阅读能力,
是孩子终身必备的学习
能力。”
香港一些小学,每天放学之后,有一个小时英语阅读活动,他们称之为
reading workshop
,有点类似咱们的托管班,放学后的孩子,聚在老师身边读
英语书。
在香港著名的圣保罗学校附属小学,
有一位老师,
给
2
年级孩子分别用
英语和粤语,讲读原版
书,老师带着学生从头讲到尾,一边讲,一边让学生用
荧光笔在原版书上作记号。
这位老师不给孩子讲语法术语,也没必要给孩子讲语法术语。这位老师利
用荧光笔,
利用孩子天生对色彩的敏感,
把重要的英语结构,
自然而然印在孩子
心里,让孩子不知不觉,学到很多东西。
老师把整整一本书,给孩子认认真真讲一遍,从头到尾,没有一句遗漏,
这很关键。
如果老师只是简单串讲一个故事梗概,
意义就不大了。
我们有的孩子
看英语书,
就有一点走马观花,碰到文字稍微困难的地方,就跳过去不看了;
还有的孩子看英语,
碰到不懂的地方,
就直接去看中文翻译,
这实际上是在读故
事,英语的提高很
有限。
老师给孩子讲读原版书,不是为了讲故事。老师的教学意图,是让孩子以
后能够独立阅读;是让孩子掌握阅读策略,提高阅读速度;是借用各种色彩,帮
孩子熟悉英文语法;是以附带习得的方式,扩大孩子的词汇量
......
香港很多
10
岁的小学生,每天自己看原版书,并非孩子聪明过人,而是
老师已经带着孩子们认认真真读过几本原版书了,
经过细水长流的教学铺垫,
孩
子的英语才能飞跃。
学英语,不能断断续续,孩子需要天天沉潜在英语里。很多家长认为,我
们自己英语不好,没办法给孩子一个很好的英文环境。其实这种想法大错特错,
给孩子英文
环境不代表家长自己要天天讲英语,只要孩子每天读一些原版书,
这就是最好的英文环境。
近些年北京很多重点小学都在强调英语阅读,
每年的寒
暑假期间,
英语老师都会根据

的分级体系给孩子们推荐一份原版书
的书单。
8. 如何阅读英文原著
首先应该有一定的英语基底
如果开英语原著的话应该变差英语词典一边看,建议用内牛津词典容最新版或朗文词典等正宗适合学习的词典,可以扩充词汇量,也可以了解相关单词信息
最好可以在每天的阅读之后做阅读心得,而且最好用英语再加上每天自己所收获的内容
用当日所学的单词短语写当然更好了
这样,既知道了书中内容,也学习了相关知识
9. 如何阅读英语原文小说呀求具体方法
其实高中之后,慢慢的有接触一些国外小说,看国外的小说的感觉和中国的感受是完全不一样的,英文经典小说。一入文学深似海呀!但是翻译过来的总是觉得有些别扭,所以开始在慢慢学着阅读英文原文小说,也总结了我的步骤给大家,个人认为这个可以分成三个阶段:
第一阶,短篇小说
刚开始准备阅读英文原文小说的时候,可以找一些短篇小说,因为作品太长很容易觉得枯燥而就放弃了阅读,所以找一些有趣的短篇小说,可以增加我们阅读的乐趣。推荐几篇我个人非常喜欢的:William Faulkner的A rose for Emily(这个简直最爱啊,不过要了解作品大背景哈,可以先读一遍,然后看看历史,再体会一下),Washington Irving的The legend of the Sleepy Hollow, Rip Van Winkle(很有意思!)Allen Poe的大部分短篇,不过稍难,还有欧亨利的等等。不建议买短篇小说集,大家可以在网上找,看完一篇以后,找相关链接的去读,因为短篇小说集其实很多很无聊哈,这个看个人兴趣爱好。
最后,接下来估计就是各种哲学,宗教书籍了。多说一句,Dan Brown的一系列书如达芬奇密码,天使与魔鬼还是很值得一看的哈!你不会后悔的,但是要在至少攻关探索第二阶再开始,否则很难进行。

原文地址: is a beautiful day,but I can't see it!(美好的一天,可是我什么也看不见)作者:李雪华
A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said, “I am blind, please help.”
There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy heard his footsteps and asked, “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?”
The man said, “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.”
What he had written was, “Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it.”
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?
Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.
The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.
