11、y silent and impassive on purpose because that will make others feel uncomfortable and possibly make compromises without having to do anything. Americans especially cant stand silence, so they often are the first to break the silence and sometimes might be at a disadvantage in negotiations.So, whats
12、 the best response? Set your jaw and wait it out. Dont offer a compromise just because they are not speaking. If you have to say something, ask a direct question, such as “Whats your initial reaction to that offer?” Once a silence is getting into 45 seconds you could say, “Lets come back to that in
13、a minute and go on with the next part of our negotiation.”In presentations, silence can be far more effective than dramatic passion (热情). Before starting, look at the audience and be silent for a moment because that says, “Im in control. I know what Im doing. Im confident.”A classic example was when
14、 Apple co-founder Steve Jobs launched the first iPhone. He introduced with many pauses so that you didnt miss his key points. Because silence makes us nervous, our natural reaction is that wed better pay attention, theres something going on here.Equally, when giving a speech to staff or trainees, pa
15、uses count-especially if there are negatives. If you keep talking youre spoon feeding. Give people a moment of silence to get beyond the emotional response and to start thinking consciously and processing.Silence can be an inward-focused thoughtful activity or an outward stillness where you give you
16、rself the time to watch and think and listen to the world around you. Having observed the use of silence in Finland and also among the Blackfeet Nation, a North American Indian tribe in northern Montana in the US, we can see benefits far beyond wheeling and dealing.Silence can be a very powerful poi

21、iceberg in a mission aiming to answer fundamental questions about the impact of climate change in the polar regions. The scientists, led by he British Antarctic Survey( BAS), are trying to reach a newly revealed ecosystem that had been hidden for 120,000 years below the Larsen C ice shelf.Last year,
22、 part of the Larsen C ice shelf calved (崩解) away, forming a huge iceberg-A68-which is four times bigger than London, and revealing life beneath for the first time. Now scientists say it is a race against time to explore these new ecosystems before they are transformed to the light. Marine biologist
23、Dr Katrin Linse from the BAS is leading the mission.“The calving of A68 provides us with a unique opportunity to study marine life as it responds to a huge environment change,” she said. “It is important that we get there quickly before the undersea environment changes as sunlight enters the water.”
24、Professor David Vaughan, science director at the BAs, said, “We need to be bold (大胆的) on this one. Larsen C is a long way south and theres lots of sea ice in the area, but this is important science, so we will try our best to get the team where they need to be. He said climate change had already aff
25、ected the sea around Antarctica and is warming some coastal waters. “Future warming may make some habitats warm. Where these habitats support unique species that are adapted to love the cold and not the warm, those species are going to either move or die.”There is growing concern about the possible
26、impact of climate change in the Antarctic. Earlier this month, a report revealed that melting ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica are speeding up the already fast pace of the sea level rise. The research, published by the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine, said, “At the curr
27、ent rate, the worlds ocean will be, on average, at least 60cm higher by the end of the century.” However, it found that the process is accelerating, and more than three quarters of the acceleration since 1993 is due to melting ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica, the study shows.1、Why are the sci

30、has uncovered an unknown ecosystem in Antarctica.4、What can we infer from the last paragraph?AThere is no need to worry about climate change in Antarctica.BThe ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica are melting at a steady rate.CMany creatures living in deep water will die out due to climate change.
31、DBy 2100, the sea level will have risen to a much higher level than now.23(8分)One of the main points of traveling is to relax and take a break from your normal daily life.
