hadn t checked my e mails since late Friday afternoon There was a long list of messages Some I removed without reading Others were from friends I saved those to read later when I had more time One stood out from the rest for two reasons The first was the name Maher Nawaf which I didn t recognize The second was the subject line pleas papers Clearly the e mail was 仕 om someone who did not have a complete mastery of the English language The message was from an Iraqi a university research scientist in Mosul who wanted permission to reprint a research paper I had written As a scientist I m used to getting these kinds of requests it s part of the give and take among researchers that I especially like I wrote back the next day asking for more information about the type of work he was doing I also wished him and his family best for their safety and well being during this dangerous time in his land A couple of days later his reply appeared in my inbox It read in part hi dear Dr I m very happy to hear good news from you and your help also I d like to thank you for your feelings towards me and my family thank you very much for help I want to tell you that I m ready to help you in mosul university iraq if you need that Maher also explained in his broken English that he was interested in a paper I d written on the use of lactobacillus acidophilus a healthy product that can be found in yogurt 酸奶 and other foods It was his hope that he could use my findings to help find a treatment for gastrointestinal 消化系统的 illness He signed off warmest regards to you and lovely family Despite his

Even knowing a little English can help you learn a lot B B Businesses put lots of time and money into new plans programs and excellent employees with the hope things will change Yet at the end of the effort not much changes What happens In most cases those new plans programs and employees enter a company with an existing culture 文化 And plans programs and new employees have a way of conforming to 顺应 the existing culture The culture of your business is the result of a particular mindset or a particular way of thinking and the general feelings about certain things Most often it is the mindset of the founder or people managing the business The founder has gotten to where he is because of his skill sets knowledge base and personal beliefs which unfortunately all come with inherent 固有的 limits Why Skills knowledge and beliefs come from what he or she already knows or has experienced In other words it comes from the past We people try to make the past fit the future Just because something worked in the past doesn t mean it is suitable for the future As the saying goes if you do and think what you have always done and thought you will have what you have always had Therefore lasting

train yourself and people to get out of the comfort zone where you feel happy with your knowledge and skills 40 Which question does the author try to answer A What past experience is useful for

themes 主题 that the words had in common But they forgot around one in four more themes if they had been awake Prof John Groeger of Surrey University s Sleep Research Centre said People have been trying for years to fard out what the purpose of sleep is as we know that only certain parts of it have a restorative 有助恢复的 value We form and store huge numbers of experiences in the head every day and sleep
