Q & A

Question: I have recently got a senior position within my company．One of my new tasks is to make monthly progress reports on my department in front of other senior officials. During my first meeting, I presented and then opened the floor to questions. 1. _ My first reaction was to answer defensively(防衛(wèi)地;戒備地). Later, I realized that I shouldn’t have felt that way. But how can I keep cool and effectively answer questions in this type of settings?

Answer: Congratulations on your new position! Presenting in front of your peers (同事) is a hard task in itself and it becomes much more difficult when a question-and-answer period is required! Question-and-answer periods are a great way to clarify (使……清楚) the message and strengthen key points． 2.__

● 3.

When a person is asking a question, show interest and a desire to understand the question by listening and asking for clarification.

● Buy time

When facing a hard question, most people can’t give an answer immediately. Buy time by repeating the question in your own words. 4. These techniques allow you to quickly organize your thoughts as well as to make sure you will be correctly answering the question．

● Suggest a private meeting.

A one-to-one meeting is a calmer setting than speaking in front of your peers． 5.

A．Show your true interest.

B．Restate the question with respect.

C．Some ideas can be quite concrete.

D．There were many difficult questions.

E．It can also be more effective in exchanging ideas.

A mother’s love

I’M a New York City firefighter. Every day, I see terror — sometimes even death. But the day I found Scarlett was different. That day I saw life. And love.

We were responding to a call about a burning garage. Outside, I heard the sound of cats crying. I couldn’t stop — I would have to look for the cats after the fire was put out.

It took a long time to finally bring the big fire under control, but we did it. No one inside was hurt.

At that point I was free to investigate the cat noises. There was still a lot of smoke and heat coming from the building. I followed the meowing(貓叫) to a spot on the sidewalk near the front of the garage. There, crying and huddled(擠作一團(tuán)) together, were five terrified kittens. They must have been inside the building, as their fur was badly singed(燙燒).

I left the five kittens in a box on a neighbor’s porch(門廊).

I wanted to find the mother. It was obvious that she had gone into the burning garage and carried out all of her babies, one by one — unbelievable.

We finally found her. She was badly burnt: her eyes were blistered (起水泡), her paws(爪子) were blackened, and her fur was singed all over. You could even see her reddened skin beneath the burned fur. She could barely move. I picked her up, and she relaxed in my arms as much as her pain would allow. Sensing her trust, I shed a tear. I was determined to save this brave little cat and her family.

The vet told me they would observe the kittens and their mother overnight, but they weren’t optimistic about the mother’s changes.

About a week later, I found out she was going to live. One of the technicians suggested we name her Scarlett, because of her reddened skin.

Knowing what Scarlett endured(忍受) for her kittens, it melted my heart to see her reunited with them. She touched each of them again, nose to nose, to make sure they were all safe. She had risked her life five separate times — and it had paid off. All of her babies had survived.

As a firefighter, I see heroism(英雄事跡) every day. But what Scarlett showed me that day was the kind of bravery that can only come from a mother’s love.

1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?

A. The author went to rescue the cats as soon as he heard them crying.

B. The firefighters put out the big fire quickly and no one was hurt.

C. The mother cat moved all of her five babies to a safer place despite the fire.

D. The author didn’t find the cats until the smoke and heat were gone.

2.Why was the author determined to save the cats?

A. He refused to watch someone else die in his work.

B. He was impressed by the mother’s strong love and courage.

C. The cat’s story had made many people concerned.

D. It had taken much time and effort for him to save them.

3.Which best describes the author’s tone in the article?

A. Objective.B. Admiring.C. Excited.D. Optimistic.

Consider yourself warned. Sunday is April Fools' Day, a day when you are encouraged to play tricks on loved ones and even the people you meet at the bus stop. It's a strange tradition, but how did it get started?

Nobody is completely sure about the origin of this, the silliest of holidays. However, the urban legend experts at Snopes. com say that most experts owe it to Pope Gregory XⅢ, who, in the 1500s, gave the world the Gregorian calendar.

In 1562, the Gregorian calendar moved the first day of the year from April l to January l. Word did eventually get around, but some people were a bit slow to hear the news. These folks continued celebrating the new year on April l , unaware that they were now three months behind the times. These "April fools" were tricked by those who knew it. The tradition eventually made its way to the US.

And it's still going strong. Over the past week, Web searches on " April Fools' Day jokes" and " April Fools' Day tricks" have more than doubled, and related lookups for "easy April Fools' Day tricks" and "April Fools' Day jokes for work" have also increased greatly. Bottom line: Keep your guard up, especially if somebody offers you a word search puzzle. Lookups for "impossible April Fools' Day word searches" are up by 200%.

But really, there is no way to be certain you'll escape trickery because even companies are out to trick you on April l. In 1957, the BBC reported Swiss farmers were harvesting spaghetti(意大利面) from trees. And in 1996, Taco Bell took out ads in major newspapers announcing that the company had purchased the Liberty Bell and renamed it the Taco Liberty Bell.

1.What is the author's purpose of writing the text?

A. To teach us how to avoid being tricked.

B. To point out the best way to trick others.

C. To introduce the history of April Fools' Day.

D. To stress the importance of April Fools' Day.

2.What can we know from Paragraph 3?

A. April lst was once the first day of the year.

B. April Fools' Day was set by Pope Gregory XⅢ.

C. April Fools' Day has been celebrated for thousands of years.

D. Started in the US, April Fools' Day is popular around the world.

3.From the 4th paragraph, we can learn that .

A. people enjoy being April Fools

B. April Fools' Day is still very popular

C. those tricks used on April 1 are much the same

D. people like to celebrate April Fools' Day online

4.The examples listed in the last paragraph are used to show .

A. a modern farming technology

B. what newspapers without ads are like

C. how the Taco Liberty Bell got its name
