do you look at your glass and see it as half full? do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining and that generally things turn out for the best? do you believe that if something is meant to be, it will be? if you reply “yes” to all of these questions, then you are an optimist. you probably are enthusiastic, cheerful and outgoing. you may well be successful at work and in love.but you may be misguided because things dont turn out for the best. you may believe that when one door closes another one opens (for example, you may fail to land a new job, another chance will come around soon), wrong. when one door closes, another door slams in your face. thats bitter reality.now a book has been published which confirms what we pessimists (悲观者）have suspected all along. its called the positive power of defensive pessimism. its author argues that defensive pessimism can lead to positive results. defensive pessimism is a strategy used to manage fear, anxiety and worry. defensive pessimists prepare for things by setting low outcomes for themselves. they carefully consider everything that may go wrong and plan for ways to handle these problems. and this gives them a sense of control. lawrence sanno, a psychology professor, says, “whats interesting about defensive pessimists is that they tend to be very successful people, so their low opinion of the situations outcomes is not realistic. they use it to motivate themselves to perform better. ”so far, so good. this is not rocket science. defensive pessimists prepare carefully and consider what might go wrong, whether at work, on a date or even in a sports game. it makes sense to have a back-up plan. there are many sayings in english urging caution. for example, “dont put all your eggs in one basket,” and “dont count your chickens until they hatch.” to have a confident and optimistic approach to lifes problems is good. but listen to what woody alien, the american comedian says, “confidence is what you have before you understand the problem.”there are pros and cons to being an optimist and a pessimist. dont feel bad if you see the glass half empty. you are a realist. but lighten up and hook up with someone who sees the same glass half full.35. what is the passage mainly about?a. the benefits of defensive pessimism.b. how to become successful in life.c. a book that has recently been published.d. the dangers of being too optimistic.36. the underlined sentence “this is not rocket science” in paragraph 4 means_.a. the cost is not so high b. there is no real proofc. its not a dangerous thing to do d. it is quite simple to understand37. the writer would probably describe himself as _.a. a success b. a failurec. a realistd. a scientist38. which of the following english expressions would a defensive pessimist believe? a. whatever will be, will be.b. the glass is half full not half empty.c. every cloud has a silver lining.d. dont put all your eggs in one basket.cif you are an experienced manager with strong leadership skills who is looking for a challenging new career opportunity. join the sbarro team today!job responsibilitiesas a restaurantmanager, you will supervise(监督) all matters connected with cooking in the kitchen, and build sales and profits for your store. as a restaurantmanager, you will take ownership of(全心地投入) all aspects of your restaurant. your specific duties as a restaurantmanager will include:making staff schedules and supervising payrollhiring, developing, evaluating and coaching staff membersdeveloping relationships with mall employeesjob requirementshigh energy, honesty and a strong work principle are important as a restaurant managers work is not single, ranging from growing sales to sweeping the floor.35 years of management experience as a kitchen manager in a leadership role in a service industry; previous restaurant experience preferredenjoying service industryability to keep a strong teamproficiency (熟练) with computer (particularly microsoft excel)educationminimum high school; college degree a plusbenefitsas a restaurant manager, you will be given four weeks of training in food preparation, financials, ordering, scheduling, operation of restaurant equipment and computer programs. base salary is $ 5,000 per month. we value your hard work and will reward you with a competitive salary package which includes base salary. monthly performance bonuses and other benefits. your benefits package as a restaurantmanager will include:life insuranceshort/long term disability insurancemeal discountpaid vacationfor further information, please visit the website www. .39. what can we know about the restaurantmanager according to the passage?a. his work is flexible.b. he doesnt know staffs salaries.c. he should coach his staff once a week.d. he must develop relationships with mall employers.40. if you want to be the restaurantmanager, you must .a. have a college degree b. have restaurant experiencec. have great interest in service industryd. have a certificate in computer science41. sbarro restaurant provides training for a newmanager to .a. help do the daily work wellb. help improve personal qualityc. help develop creativity in restaurant operationsd. help build self-confidence in the leadership role42. once hired by sbarro restaurant as a restaurantmanager, you will .a. enjoy meals for freeb. own four weeks of vacation each year c. have to receive training for about a monthd. get bonuses much more than your base salarydwould the world be more peaceful if women were in charge? a challenging new book by the harvard university psychologist steven pinker says that the answer is “yes”.in the better angels of our nature, pinker presents data showing that human violence, while still very much with us today, has been gradually declining. moreover, he says, “over the long sweep of history, women have been and will be a peaceful force. traditional war is a mans game: tribal women never band together to attack neighboring villages.” as mothers, women tend to maintain peaceful conditions in which to bring up their children.skeptics(怀疑者) immediately reply that women have not made war simply because they have rarely been in power. if they were empowered as leaders, the disorder of the world would force them to make the same warlike decisions that men do. margaret thatcher, golda meir, and indira gandhi were powerful women; all of them led their countries to war.but it is also true that these women rose to leadership by playing according to the political rules of “a mans world.” it was their success consistent with(与一致) male values that enabled their rise to leadership in the first place. in a world in which women were in the majority of leadership positions, they might behave differently in power.so we are left with the broader question: does gender(性别) really matter in leadership? in terms of traditional opinion, various psychological studies show that men tend towards the hard power of command, while women are cooperative and naturally understand the soft power of attraction and persuasion.the key choices about war and peace in our future will depend not on gender, but on how leaders combine hard and soft power skills to produce smart policies. both men and women will make those decisions.43. which of the following does pinker agree?a. human violence has been increasing.b. men play a vital role in traditional war.c. women prefer to take care of their babies at home.d. women have not made war due to their powerlessness.44. the author mentions margaret thatcher, golda meir, and indira gandhi to say _ .a. they also made warb. they also acted as leadersc. they were all heroinesd. they were all women45. in terms of traditional opinion, _ .a. men prefer cooperationb. men are wiser than womenc. women know well about soft powerd. women are excellent leaders.46. what does the writer intend to tell us?a. men tend to lead their countries to war.b. women are more likely to make smart policies than men.c. we had better choose women as our leaders if we want peace.d. war and peace depend on wise policies made by men or women.ewhat would you think if someone proposed knocking down st pauls cathedral to widen the road? or pulling down big ben to make way for a car park? itd be ridiculous, right? but when it comes to devastation(毁灭) of the natural world, we arent so easily shocked. but we should be . or well be in a lot of trouble!nature is shrinking by the day. ancient forests are destroyed. wetlands are becoming dry. woodland is disappearing, and all in the name of progress. this is bad in itself, but its devastating for biodiversity.biodiversity refers to the variety of plants, animals and other living things which are all interconnected. the ecological services provided by biod
