Human Networking I knew, no computer or technology ever got any of us a raise, landed us that dream job, found us that mentor (良师) who cared deeply about us and our careers or put that special joy in our lives that can only come from relationships with others. All these great things are made possible by a completely different type to networking: human networking. And not the kind that has given “networking” a bad name - that superficial, insincere, manipulative stuff that we all can smell a mile away. No, Im talking about the true art of networking, based on respectful and caring relationships that promote mutual success.Relationships Let me start with one of the most fundamental aspects of human relationships. For each and every thing you want to achieve in life-whether its landing a job, earning a raise or promotion or finding that lifelong romance-there will be at least one person on the other end deciding whether or give you or help you get what you want. Everything we do can only be accomplished through and with other people. Simply put, of any kind, requires relationships. Just think of the words of Margaret Wheatley: Relationships are all there is. Everything in the universe only exists because it is in relationship to everything else. Nothing exists in isolation. We have to stop pretending we are individuals that go it alone. If this is the way the universe works, you can see why human relationships and human networks are so important. The most common mistake people make when building relationships for their career success is treating business contacts differently than personal friends. Arent they always forgiving when you slip up and more helpful when youre in need? Of course! I guarantee your work will become easier and more joyful if you make more of your business relationships personal. How to do it? The same way you make genuine friends. Build trust through intimacy; show them that besides being professional, youre also human. Skip the small talk and go deep into what really matters-your dreams or fears, your children or the business issues that keep you up at night. And dont think for a moment that theyll think less of you. In fact, usually the opposite happens. When I tell people about humble beginnings-I grew up a country boy in rural, southwestern Pennsylvania, the son of an often-unemployed steelworker and a cleaning lady-and how it took me so long to overcome my insecurities of being poor and being picked on by kids from ore well-to-do families, people dont think less of me. They immediately empathize （感同身受）and feel more endeared to me than ever before. All you have to do is let your guard down and show enough vulnerability to make others comfortable with opening up to you. Also, dont stop with treating business friends like you treat personal friends. Mix them, too. Invite business contacts to your home and introduce them to your family. Invite a client out to dinner along with an old pal from school and your significant other or a date. Dont compartmentalize you personal, professional and community lives. Blur the boundaries! Youll have more fun and do more for all three parts of your life in less time.Planning The more specific you are about what you want to do, the easier it becomes to develop a strategy to accomplish it. Part of that strategy, of course, will be establishing relationships with the people in your universe who can help you get where youre going. So, first, do some deep introspection（自省）to find your Blue Flame, the thing in life that really lights your fire. Write, pray, whatever you need to do clear you head and figure this stuff out. I enjoy great results from Vipassana meditation. Once youve found your Blue Flame, its time to have a RAP, or a Relationship Action Plan. Heres a simple way to get started. Write down your goals and the names and types of people who can help you achieve them. Then, note how you can reach those people and how you can contribute to their success, also. The more specific a plan you have and the more you put your goals out to others, the more everyone will aspire to help you achieve your dreams. On the other hand, if you dont know what you want or you dont tell anyone, no one can help you. They cant read your mind. I cant tell you how many times a friend has called me and said, “Keith, I just became unemployed. I need to start networking; will you teach me how? My answer: “No. No.No. You need to start job-hunting! You should have been building relationships for the past 5 or 10 years, so now that you need a job, you could make 20 calls and have 5 job offers waiting for you in a week.”Presentation When I give talks to college and graduate students, they always ask me, “what are the secrets to success? What are the unspoken rules for making it big? Preferably, theyd like my response wrapped up in tight package and tied with a neat little bow. Why not? I wanted the same thing at their age. “So you want the inside scoop,” I respond. “Fair enough. Ill sum up the key to success in one word: Generosity. “The kids are shocked because they think Im going to give them “networking” advice. And when they think of “networking,” they think of a guy holding a martini with one hand and scattering business cards with the other. Hes hell-bent on doing anything it takes to “get to the top,” including climbing on the backs of others. The era of that Networking Jerk is over. I learned that the hard way. Once, a mentor of mine said to me, “ Stop driving yourself-and everyone else-crazy thinking bout how to make yourself successful. Start thinking about how youre going to make everyone around you successful.” Please, learn from my mistakes and the mistakes of many others. Dont be a networking jerk. Remember that the NO.1 key to success is generosity. Give your talents, give your contacts and give your hard work to make others successful without ever keeping score. While I would say that your relationships are the most critical piece of your personal brand, before, you can develop those relationships youve got to know something and have something to say. Just having a brain and an MBA wont get you anywhere. If you want to become more valuable in the marketplace or more intriguing to the world at large, you must develop some deep expertise in your mind and root some higher-order passion in your heart. Think of the worlds real movers and shakers; they are such because they are about something. Richard Bransonexecuting the remarkable. The late Princess Diana-helping the unfortunate. They are and were interesting. You can be, too.Strength in Numbers This rule is obviously one no one can follow 100 percent. Its just a great way to remember to share your passions-to invite others into the activities you are already enjoy doing. I really love sharing delicious food, good wine and great company. I also bring friends to workouts or to church. You might have similar passions, or you might enjoy doing community service, gardening or watching movies. If youll just remember to share your passions, building and deepening relationships will take no extra time than you already devote to your favorite activities, and people will see you in your best light. Just as people lose weight more effectively if they have a workout partner, your ongoing efforts to build relationships will be more successful if you team up. You and your buddy can provide each other support, guidance and motivation. And youll always be prepared to try one of my favorite tacticstrading networks. Throw a dinner party together, and youll each be responsible for only half the guest list, half the cost and half the effort. But youll expand your circle of friends to twice the size, and I guarantee it will be twice the fun! 注意：1-7题在答题卡1上作答；810题在答题试卷上。1.What is the true art of networking built on ?A) the latest computer technologyB) respectful and caring relationshipsC) rich professional knowledgeD) many friends from well-to-do families.2.

Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words on Answer Sheet 2. Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage. Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates recently told the nations governors that America high school education is “obsolete”. He said, “When I compare our high schools to what I see when Im traveling abroad, I am terrified for our workforce of tomorrow. In 2001, India graduate almost a million more students from college than the Unites States did. China graduates twice as many students with bachelors degrees as the US and has six times as many graduates majoring in engineering. America is falling behind.”Gates was describing a global economy in which the chance to move up into a better economic life is slipping overseas, along with jobs that can be performed anywhere-manufacturing in China, technology support in India, online order fulfillment across borders. The Internet brings Bhutan and Bangalore just as close to our offices and living rooms as Boise. Maybe closer.Our childrens competitors are not the other schools in the district o
