1、1，Sometimes it is interpersonal skills rather than professional skills that really counts in your career. Interpersonal skills are nothing but，the ability to be good listener, to be sensitive toward others needs, to take criticism well. People with skill in social relations admit their mistakes, and

2、 take their share of blame, which is a mature and responsible way to handle an error. Thats why many mediocre employees survive violent corporate upheavals while people of great talent are being laid off. Sensitive in their dealings with others, they are well liked everywhere. People with poor inter

3、personal skills have trouble taking criticism. When confronted with a mistake, they let their ego get in the way. They deny responsibility and became moody or angry. They mark themselves as prickly.2，Honesty RewardedRecently, some newspapers and magazines in the United States have focused on a movin

4、g story concerning an unemployed couple.Poverty-stricken and unable to pay the rents, the couple and their young son had to move out of the house they had lived so long and had been sheltered only by their own automobile for the past several weeks. One day on the road, they came across a wallet with

5、 2500 dollars in it- a sum of money the destitute family was in burning need of! The husband suggested, however, that the money be handed over to the police station immediately. And the wife agreed after a wavering second, though.Soon the wallet was claimed by the loser, According to the conventiona

6、l practice in the United States, the owner of the wallet should pay the couple 20% of the amount of the recovered money as remuneration. Regrettably, the wallet owner left the police station without giving a cent. The police thought it was unfair and therefore informed the press circle of the whole

7、story about the couple and the wallet, which then became publicly known through newspaper and TV reports.Shortly afterwards, the police station was invaded with an avalanche of letters from all of the country, praising the honest couple. Some letters were stuffed with 100 or 200-dollar bank notes or

8、 checks, a gentleman, after making sure that the lost and found wallet had contained 2500 dollars, remitted the exact amount of money to the couple. The total amount of money the couple received in this fashion exceeded 6000 dollars.There is another person who volunteered to provide the couple with

9、accommodation free of charge until they are financially capable. Moreover, about 200 companies have since kindly offered the couple job opportunities.All these had been least expected in the first place. When interviewed by a journalist, the wife, looking back on what they had experienced, burst int

10、o tears. Honesty is the best policy is what the saying goes in the United States. And what the couple have encountered helps prove, once again, that it is so.3，Shanghai, known as Paris of the Orient, has long since been famous for its girlsof all kinds. Xie Bingying wrote in the 1940s, People say th

11、at Shanghai is like a young lady in a world of vanity; Hangzhou, a girl from a prestigious family; Suzhou, a pretty girl from a well-off family; while Chongqing is a middle-aged but still good-looking woman. After she arrived in Taiwan, she wrote In memory of Jeffery Street of Shanghai, in which she

12、 described the street as a slim, lively, mysterious and graceful young woman.If I were to close my eyes, the images of Shanghai girls in my mind would be mostly modern, seductive, coquettish and heavily made up. I would not be able to relate them to such descriptions as calm and aloof and kind-heart

13、ed and good-natured. However, these girls are most likely the creation of literature and media, reflecting the modern metropolitan life of Shanghai, for the sake of commercialism. Such images are often seen in calendars of the past as well as the present.4，Honor to those who love the motherland, and

14、 shame on those who harm the motherland;Honor to those who serve the people, and shame on those who betray people;Honor to those who quest for science, and shame on those who refuse to be educated;Honor to those who are hardworking, and shame on those who indulge in comfort and hate work;Honor to th

15、ose who help each other, and shame on those who seek gains at the expense of others;Honor to those who are trustworthy, and shame on those who trade integrity for profits;Honor to those who abide by law and discipline, and shame on those who break law and disciplineHonor to those who uphold plain li

16、ving and hard struggle, and shame on those who wallow in extravagance and pleasures.5Like students from other Asian countries and regions, most Chinese students who come to pursue further education in the United States work on their studies most diligently and assiduously. Even on weekends, they wou

17、ld frequently spend one day, or even two days, to work overtime in their laboratories. Therefore, compared with their American counterparts, they are more academically fruitful.My supervisor ( advisor / tutor) is of Asian origin who is addicted to alcohols and cigarettes, with a sharp (an irritable)

18、 temper. Nevertheless, he highly appreciates the industry and the solid foundational knowledge of Asian students and has a particularly keen insight into the psychology of Asian students. Hence, of all the students recruited by his laboratory, except for one German, the rest five were all from Asia.

19、 He even put a striking notice on the door of his lab, which read, All the research assistants of this laboratory are required to work 7 days a week, from 10 AM to 12 PM. Nothing but work during the working hours. This supervisor is reputed on the entire campus for his severity and harshness. In the

20、 course of the 3 and half years that I stayed there, a total of 14 students were recruited into his laboratory and only 5 of them stayed 1on until they graduated with their Ph. D. degrees.In the summer of 1990, ignoring the remonstrations (admonishments / dissuasions) from others, I accepted my supe

21、rvisors sponsorship and embarked on the difficult journey of academic pursuit (undertaking further studies in the United States).6，The last twenty years has brought nearly half a million Chinese intellectuals into the Western world, especially into the United States. 2) It is said that Shanghais mus

22、icians abroad could form a world-class symphony orchestra. 3) A similar story has been told in science, medicine and sports circles. 4) Chinese intellectuals emigrate because they believe they cannot bring their talent into full play in the homeland. 5) They often feel depressed and frustrated for a

23、 variety of reasons. 6, 7) The situation was so grim that once we suffered an acute shortage of talent, as one batch of gifted people after another had gone abroad. 8, 9) It didnt change much until the early 1990 when the efforts was made by the government to upgrade the status of the intellectuals,

24、 both social and economic.7，A Tale Of Two FiguresTwo figures caught my attention while I did some reading: Within a year, eighty billion yuan (RMB) of public funds have been eaten up and during the past three years barely a little more than a hundred million yuan have been collected as donations to

25、the Hope Project which aims at bringing back to school millions of children deprived of education in China because of poverty.To enjoy food and drink on public funds is something both banned by the central government and criticized by the masses for a long time. However, there are still places that

26、dare to by-pass the ban and make merry of feasting and wine. This kind of eating drama goes on even in some of Chinas poorest regions. I dont know whether, between courses, it ever occurred to those eating lavishly that what they had eaten up is not just some fine food, but, far more painfully, Chin

27、as hope. Hope Project is an unprecedented project in China, to which our beloved Comrade Deng Xiao-ping has given his personal inscription and made a donation in the name of a communist veteran. Numerous men and women of vision have also offered their assistance with money to those children who, tho

28、ugh thin and weak, are eager to go to school. Unfortunately, the total sum of donated money during the past three years amounts to only one hundred million yuan, a far cry from the burning need.Eighty billion versus one hundred million - what a contrast! It implies, among other things, that what sho

29、uld be banned has not been banned in reality, while what should be enhanced is largely ignored. The reason behind this ironical situation is nothing but the corruption tendency now rampant in some areas and government departments, which is eroding the healthy body of the nation as well as the nation

30、s education endeavor, It is only too obvious that the Hope Project will be hardly hopeful unless the eat- on - tile - public- funds tendency and, for that matter, the corruption tendency is effectively checked.It must be noted, however, that eat-on-tile-public-funds never enjoys popular support. Wha

31、t a rewarding philanthropic act it would have been had the eighty billion yuan been saved for the Hope Project so as to enable the millions of education-deprived children to go back to the classrooms to read and write!8. Master of Space is what Bill Gates is referred to By Time magazine. The space G

32、ates rules is in fact the so-called cyberspace. Gates and the Microsoft Corp. he is leading started their venture by inventing DOS (disk of operation system) and now, with a new and sophisticated windows system which 8 out of 10 computers in the world are operating on, Microsoft boasts the lions sha

33、re in the world software market. Gatess wealth, as a result, has now exceeded 10 billion US dollars, making him arguably the No.1 rich man of the United States.The great achievements by Gates and the Microsoft under him are little short of legend in the information industry. Perhaps we are too famil

34、iar with the story of how Gates stopped his academic study before he began his software pioneering efforts. But one thing that has not been known to all is that Gates is as much a genius as he is a workaholic. He has personally acknowledged that he had hardly had a day off before he was thirty years

35、 old. For fear of missing appointments with his clients, it is said, he often stayed in the company 24 hours a day. Not until he reached 31 when Microsoft was listed on stock did Gates have a few days off in the true sense of the word.Of the magnates that are world renown, Gates turns out to be the

36、least fastidious. Young and rich as he is, he leads a life typical of man-in-the-street. It is true that he does spend 40 million dollars to build a luxurious residence with a multimedia screen wall in it and a basement spacious enough to park 20 cars. This however is quite a recent affair.Since Gat

37、es dream is a computer for every family and on every office desk, Microsofts goal is to make the personal computer easy to master and convenient to use, enabling every one to eventually embark on the information superhighway a wonderful digital space.Gates was selected as last years Man of The World

38、 by The Financial Times in Britain, which also described him as the architect of the next industrial revolution. What Gates has done will, in all probability, have a positive impact on the combination of computer technology, the communications technology and the entertainment technology so as to res

39、hape the life style of mankind as it is today.9. Dear Students of the Graduating Class,As you are leaving your alma mater, I have nothing to offer you as a gift except a word of advice.My advice is, Never give up the pursuit of learning. You have perhaps finished your college courses mostly for obta

40、ining the diploma, or, in other words, out of sheer necessity. However, from now on you are free to follow your own bent in the choice of studies. While you are in the prime of life, why not devote yourselves to a special field of study? Youth will soon be gone never to return. And it will be too la

41、te for you to go into scholarship when in your declining years. Knowledge will do yoga good turn even as a means of subsistence. If you give up studies while holding a job, you will in a couple of years have had yourselves replaced by younger people. It will then be too late to remedy the situation

42、by picking up studies again.Some people say, Once you have a job, you 11 come up against the urgent problem of making a living. How can you manage to find time to study? Even if you want to, will it be possible with no library or laboratory available?Now let me tell you this. Those who refuse to stu

43、dy for lack of a library will most probably continue to do so even though there is a library. And those who refuse to do research for lack of a laboratory will most probably continue to do so even though a laboratory is available.As long as you set your mind on studies, you will naturally cut down o

44、n food and clothing to buy books or do everything possible to acquire necessary instruments.Time is no object. Charles Darwin could only work one hour a day due to ill health. Yet what a remarkable man he was! If you spend one hour a day reading 10 pages of a book, you can finish more than 3 600 pag

45、es a year, and 110 000 pages in 30 years.Dear students, 110 000 pages will be quite enough to make a learned man of you. It will take you one hour to read three tabloids a day, and one and half hours to finish four rounds of mahjong a day. Reading tabloids, playing mahjong or striving to be a learne

46、d man, the choice lies with you.Henrik Ibsen says, It is your supreme duty to cast yourself into a useful implement.Learning is the casting mould. Forsake learning, and you will ruin yourself.Farewell ! Your alma mater is watching eagerly to see what will become of you ten years from now.10. Behind

47、our house there lay half a mu of vacant land. Mother said, Its a pity to let it lie waste. Since you all like to eat peanuts so very much, why not plant some here? That exhilarated us children and our servant girls as well, and soon we started buying seeds, ploughing the land and watering the plants

48、. We gathered in a good harvest just after a couple of months!Mother said, How about giving a party this evening to celebrate the harvest and inviting your Daddy to have a taste of our newly-harvested peanuts? We all agreed. Mother made quite a few varieties of goodies out of the peanuts, and told u

49、s that the party would be held in the thatched pavilion on the peanut plot.It looked like rain that evening, yet, to our great joy, father came nevertheless. Do you like peanuts? asked father. Yes, we do! we vied in giving the answer.Which of you could name the good things in peanuts?Peanuts taste g

50、ood, said my elder sister.Peanuts produce edible oil, said my elder brother.Peanuts are so cheap, said I, that anyone can afford to eat them. Peanuts are everyones favorite. Thats why we call peanuts good.11. It is my great honor to declare the commencement of Beijing International Conference on Int

51、ellectual Property Rights. On behalf of the Chinese Government and people, and in my own name, I would like to extend my warm welcome to all the delegates and guests. I would also like to express my congratulations on the successful opening of the conference in Beijing. I wish to thank all the membe

52、rs of the organizing committee for their hard work, which has made this conference possible.The violation of intellectual property rights has become a serious problem facing the world today. Every year, for example, the computer software industry throughout the world suffers a heavy financial loss f

53、rom worldwide reckless piracy, a loss which consequently compels the programmers and the manufacturers of the published software to raise the retail prices, thus shifting part of their loss to honest users.The protection of intellectual property rights has become a growing concern among all the nati

54、ons of the international community. The participating countries at this conference have expressed their hope for joint efforts to fight the violation of the copyrighted property and stop the wicked spread of piracy. I am convinced that this conference will reach an agreement on the protection of intellectual property rights. I wish the conference a complete success!12. In taking a new road to industrialization, we must give play to the important role of science and technology as the primary productive force and pay close attention to improving the q
