What about Finding Nemo? Did you watch The Incredibles?These movies may seem different, but they actually share a lot in common. For starters, they were all made by an animation studio called Pixar.How can one studio make movies that everyone loves? The secret: Pixar tells stories that audiences of all ages and backgrounds can connect with.The most important part of any Pixar movie is the story itself. GREAT STORYTELLING IS HARD WORK Storytelling is an art and a skill. Pixar creators know this. They have put a lot of time and thought into what makes a great story. One Pixar storyboard artist named Emma Coates created a list called The 22 Rules of Storytelling According to Pixar. These are the rules that all Pixar stories must follow in order to be called a good story.One rule is that You admire a character for trying more than for their successes. In Finding Dory, Dory isnt a perfect character. She finds it hard to remember things. She makes silly mistakes, but never stops trying to find her parents. This makes her the hero of her story. If you have ever tried hard for something, you can relate to DoryGREAT STORYTELLING CONNECTS USWhy are the stories that Pixar tells important? They get the audience to feel the story Feelings of anger, fear, sadness, joy, and love are universal. In this way, Pixars stories have the power to show audience members that we are more alike than different. Because we can connect with the characters emotions, we can connect with each otherThe stories that Pixar tells are very creative. No two movies are the same! But the stories and, more importantly, the feelings in each are universal. Even though we, ve never traveled the the power of these stories inspires us. They push us to better understand each other and to seek out our own adventures56. What is special about Pixar according to the author?A. It makes the movies very quicklyB. It creates all different types of movieC. It creates stories that tough all the audiences.D. It makes a lot of money from their movies57. How do Pixar films connect with us?A. They teach all of us the same lesson.B. They bring us together to watch movies.C. Their characters are usually physically similar to us.D. Their characters experience the emotions that we all doBIs your promotion really necessary? Many workers focus their hopes on climbing the scale of their organizations. The prospect of higher pay helps explain their ambition,but so does the greater status that comes with each successive(连续的) titleThis climb can often end in disappointment. The Peter Principle, developed by Laurence Peter for a book published in 1969, states that workers get promoted until they reach their level of incompetence. It makes perfect sense. If you are good at your job, you rise up the career ladder. Eventually, there will be a job you are not good at and at that point your career will stop.There is another problem with chasing the promotion fantasy. Many companies have a strong tendency to promote the best sales people. Convincing others to buy goods and services is a useful skill, requiring charm and persistence. But, as the authors point out, these are not the same capabilities as the strategic planning and administrative competence needed to lead a sales teamThe research then looked at what happened after these super-salespeople were promoted Their previous sales performance was actually a negative indicator of managerial success.The sales growth of workers assigned to the star sellers was 7.5 percentage points lower than for those whose managers were previously weaker performersThe trick to avoiding this curse is to stick to what you like doing. If you enjoy teaching, dont be a headmaster or college principal. If you like writing articles and columns, editing other peoples work may not give the same degree of satisfaction.Another problem with pursuing frequent promotions is that it turns you into a supplicant, endlessly in search of favourable feedback from the higher-ups. This can lead you to lose control of your work-life balance. In Charles Handys new book, 21 Letters On Life And Its Challenges, the experienced management theorist recalls an insight when working for Royal Dutch Shell,an oil giant. In exchange for the promise of financial security and guaranteed work, I had sold my time to complete strangers with my permission for them to use that time for their own purpose,” he writes.The higher up the ladder you go, the greater the demands are likely to be on your time.The chief executive will expect you to be available at weekends: after all, that is why you get paid the big bucks.So that shiny promotion may not be for everyone. Beware the curse of overwork an/dissatisfaction. Some people like to devote their whole lives to their job and be at the centre of events. It is best to let them get on with it58. What can we learn aboutThe Peter Principle?A. Peoples careers are easily spoiled by unrealistic expectations.B. There are to some degree certain ceilings in peoples career pathsC Incompetent employees tend to have more chances to gain promotionsD People dont necessarily get promoted by virtue of their competence59. Why is Charles Handys new book 21 Letters On Life And Its Challenges mentioned?A. To put forward useful suggestions on how to get promotedB. To show how many challenges we face without getting promotedC. To illustrate the serious consequences of the pursuit of promotionD. To prove the economic security brought along by the promotion.60. Which of the following might be the best title of this passage?A. The Promotion Satisfaction B. The Promotion Curse C The Promotion Strategies D. The Promotion ProspectC.In2010,theplanetary(行星的）defenceteamatNASAhadidentifiedandlogged90percent of theasteroids(小行星）nearEarthmeasuring1kmwide.Thesenear Earthobjects,orNEOs, arethesizeofmountainsandincludeanythingwithin50millionkilometersofEarthsorbit.Withanestimated50lefttolog,NASAsaysnoneofthe887itknowsaboutareasignificantdangertotheplanet.

It may sound like a plot from a film, and it was the subject of the 1998 film Armageddon, but the Hypervelocity Asteroid Mitigation Mission for Emergency Response (HAMMER) is a genuine NASA proposal. The eight-ton rockets would be fired at an approaching asteroid with the hope of bumping it off course. If the asteroid was too close to Earth for this plan to work, the rockets would carry nuclear bombs to blow it up instead.61.
