But nowadays companies arent managing their knowledge workers careers. Rather, we must each be our own chief executive officer. Only when you operate from a combination of your strengths and self-knowledge can you achieve true and lasting excellence. To build a life of excellence, begin by asking yourself these questions: “What Are My Strengths?” To accurately identify your strengths, use feedback analysis. Every time you make a key decision, write down the outcome you expect. Several months later, compare the actual results with your expected results. Look for patterns in what you are seeing: What results are you skilled at generating? What unproductive habits are preventing you from creating the outcomes you desire? In identifying opportunities for improvement, dont waste time developing skill areas where you have little competence. Instead, concentrate on and build on your strengths.“What Are My Values?”What are your ethics(道德标准)? What do you see as your most important responsibilities for living a worthy, ethical life? Do your organizations ethics resonate(共鸣) with your own values? If not, your career will be likely to be marked by frustration and poor performance.“Where Do I Belong?”Consider your strengths, preferred work style, and values. Based on these qualities, what kind of work environment would you fit it best? Find the perfect fit, and youll transform yourself from a merely acceptable employee into a star performer.“What Can I Contribute?”In earlier eras, companies told businesspeople what their contribution should be. Today, you have choices. To decide how you can best improve your organizations performance, first ask what the situation requires. Based on your strengths, work style, and values, how might you make the greatest contribution to your organizations efforts?41.

Identify your own strengths. C. Work in your own way. D. Obey the companies rules. BVincent Van Gogh was not always an artist. In fact, he wanted to be a church minister but was sent to the Belgian mining community of Borinage in 1879. He discovered that the miners there lived with terrible working conditions and received poverty-level wages. Their families were not well fed and struggled simply to survive. He felt concerned that the small salary he received from the church allowed him to live a normal life, which, in contrast to the poor, seemed unfair. A rich family in the community offered him free room and board. But Van Gogh turned down the offer, stating that it was the final temptation he must reject if he was to faithfully serve his community of poor miners. He believed that if he wanted them to trust him, he must become one of them. And if they were to learn of the love of God through him, he must love them enough to share with them. He was fully aware of a wide chasm which can separate words and actions. He knew that peoples lives often speak louder and clearer than their words. Maybe it was that same knowledge that led Francis of Assisi to frequently remind his monks（修士，僧侣）, “Wherever you go, preach. Use words if necessary.” There are a million ways to say, “I love you,” without even saying a word! 45. Among the following statements of Vincent Van Gogh, which is Not true? A. He was an artist. B.

We can infer from the passage _.A. our lives always speak louder and clearer than our wordsB. the miners there worked under excellent working conditionsC. the ministers lived a much better and easier life than the miners at the timeD. Van Gogh himself offered to work in the Belgian mining community of Borinage in 1879. CWhat is the nature of the scientific attitude, the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics, biology, chemistry, geology, engineering, medicine or any other science? We all know that science plays an important role in our societiesHowever, many people believe that our progress depends on two different aspects of scienceThe first aspect is the application of the machines, products and systems of knowledge that scientists and technologists developThe second is the application of the special methods of thought and actionthat scientists use in their workHe does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence availableHe rejects authority as the only basis for truthScientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectivelyFurthermore,he does not readily accept his own idea, since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigationLastly,he is full of imaginationsince he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incompleteFurthermore,he needs imaginationif he wants to guess how processes work and how events take placeThese seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts50Many people believe that science helps society to progress through_Aknowledge onlyBmore than one aspect Ctechnology only Dthe use of machines51Which of the following statements about a curious scientist is TRUE?AHe doesnt find confidence and pleasure in workBHe is interested in problems that are explainedCHe makes efforts to investigate potential connectionsDHe looks for new ways of acting52According to the passage, a successful scientist would NOT_Aeasily believe in unchecked statementsBeasily criticize others research work Calways use his imagination in workDalways use evidence from observation53Which word can be used to describe the data that a good scientist uses?Acomplete Bobjective Ccomplicated Daccurate54What does the passage mainly discuss?AApplication of technologyBProgress in modem societyCScientists ways of thinking and actingDHow to become a successful scientist DDear Malia and Sasha, I know that youve both had a lot of fun these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldnt have let you have. But I also know that it hasnt always been easy for you and Mom, and that as excited as you both are about that new puppy, it doesnt make up for all the time weve been apart. I know how much Ive missed these past two years, and today I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey. When I was a young man, I thought life was all about meabout how Id make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with all your curiosity and mischief and those smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day. And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didnt seem so important anymore. I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realized that my own life wouldnt count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfillment in yours. In the end, girls, thats why I ran for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation. I want all our children to go to schools worthy of their potentialschools that challenge them, inspire them, and instill in them a sense of wonder about the world around them. I want them to have the chance to go to collegeeven if their parents arent rich. And I want them to get good jobs: jobs that pay well and give them benefits like health care, jobs that let them spend time with their own kids and retire with dignity. I want us to push the boundaries of discovery so that youll live to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our planet cleaner and safer. And I want us to push our own human boundaries to reach beyond the divides of race and region, gender and religion that keep us from seeing the best in each other. Sometimes we have to send our young men and women into war and other dangerous situations to protect our countrybut when we do, I want to make sure that it is only for a very good reason, that we try our best to settle our differences with others peacefully, and that we do everything possible to keep our servicemen and women safe. And I want every child to understand that the blessings these brave Americans fight for are not freethat with the great privilege of being a citizen of this nation comes great responsibility. That was the lesson your grandmother tried to teach me when I was your age, reading me the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence and telling me about the men and women who marched for equality because they believed those words put to paper two centuries ago should mean something. She helped me understand that America is great not because it is perfect but because it can always be
