Patience is a quality of heart that can be greatly enhanced with deliberate practice. An effective way that I have found to deepen my own patience is to create actual practice periods periods of time that I set up in my mind to practice the art of patience. Life itself becomes a classroom, and the curriculum is patience. You can start with as little as five minutes and build up your capacity for patience, over time. Start by saying to yourself, Okay, for the next five minutes I won’t allow myself to be bothered by anything. I'll be patient. What you’ll discover is truly amazing. Your intention to be patient, especially if you know it's only for a short while, immediately strengthens your capacity for patience. Patience is one of those special qualities where success feeds on itself.

Once you reach little milestones five minutes of successful patience you’ll begin to see that you do, indeed, have the capacity to be patient, even for longer periods of time. Over time, you may even become a patient person.

Being patient will help you to keep your perspective. You’ll see even a difficult situation, say your present challenge, isn't life or death but simply a minor obstacle that must be dealt with. Without patience, the same scenario can become a major emergency complete with yelling, frustration, hurt feelings, and high blood pressure. It's really not worth all that. Whether you’re needing to deal with children, your boss, or a difficult person or situation if you don’t want to sweathe small stuff, improving your patience level isa great way to start.

Soonvip更新更快 出分更稳 助橙ACT 小程序1 / 5Exam:Soonvip - 58Time:2001-1Version:DEMOPART 1 - 英语Passage ITake Me Outside to the Ball GameMy sons are fortunate to have grown up in a city where major league baseball is played. When I was a child, it was a five-hour, once-a-summer trek, to the nearest major league ballpark. My sons have to endure only the twenty-minute ride to the stadium that we make five or six times a year. But I think my experience needless to say was richer than theirs. The stadium I remember had a natural grass field and seats piled up high and close to the players so we could hear them mutter. Domed and bowl-shaped, my sons sit in a park where the players meander about on artificial turf that is not natural grass, and where we sat at such a distance that the game appears to be only a rumor. Fans should not have to endure these errors in aesthetics and architecture?First, the turf should go. There should be nothing artificial about baseball, least of all the grass. The odd green shade of artificial turf is a poor counterfeit of grass green. When my sons and I visit the ballpark we are essential on a picnic. Why gather around a carpet, in which we can do just as well at home, to enjoy our hot dogs, peanuts, and sodas? (10)Second, the dome should go. While it's true that the dome blocks out rain, it also blocks out the sun and sky. Baseball is a pastoral sport, where players lope across the field, where a strong player can smack a ball seemingly to the sky. Under a dome, the game is hermetically sealed, the players' skins look sickly, and the hit ball is in danger of banging a rafter. Finally, I want my sons to be closer to the game. I don't want us to be forced to the edge, of a bowled stadium, like the remnants of unwanted cereal. I want us to hear the ball slapping the catcher's mitt, and the shortstop yelling "I got it !" when the ball is popped up in the infield. Let us study an outfielders face, without the aid of binoculars. When he's sprinting toward the infield to catch a short fly ball.Baseball is a game as much about atmosphere as athletics. Architects need to remember stadiums are playgrounds, not office buildings. If architects play fair, they will remember that, and my grandchildren will be thankful when they take their seats in the bleachers.1.A.

Text 4 Humor, which ought to give rise to only the most light-hearted and ** feelings, can often stir up vehemence and animosity. Evidently it is dearer to us than we realize. Men will take almost any kind of criticism except the observation that they have no sense of humour. A man will admit to being a coward or a liar or a thief or a poor mechanic or a bad swimmer, but tell him he as a dreadful sense of humour and you might as well have slandered his mother. Even if he is civilized enough to pretend to make light of your statement, he will still secretly believe that he has not only a good sense of humour but are superior to most. He has, in other words, a completely blind spot on the subject. This is all the more surprising when you consider that not one man in ten million can give you any kind of intelligent answer as to what humour is or why he laughs.

One day when I was about twelve years old, it occurred to me to wonder about the phenomenon of laughter. At first I thought it is easy enough to see what I laugh at and why I am amused, but why at such times do I open my mouth and exhale in jerking gasps and wrinkle up my eyes and throw back my head and halloo like an animal? Why do I not instead rap four times on the top of my head or whistle or whirl about?

That was over twenty years ago and I am still wondering, except that I now no longer even take my first assumption for granted, I no longer clearly understand why I laugh at what amuses me nor why things are amusing. I have illustrious company in my confusion, of course, Many of the great minds of history have brought their power of concentration to bear on the mystery of humour, and, to date, their conclusions are so contradictory and ephemeral that they cannot possibly be classified as scientific.

Many definitions of the comic are incomplete and many are simply rewording of things we already know. Aristotle, for example, defined the ridiculous as that which is incongruous but represents neither **er nor pain. But that seems to me to be a most inadequate sort of observation, for of at this minute I insert here the word rutabagas, I have introduced something in congruous, something not funny. Of course, it must be admitted that Aristotle did not claim that every painless in congruity is ridiculous but as soon as we have gone as far as this admission, we begin to see that we have come to grips with a ghost when we think have it pinned, it suddenly appears behind us, mocking us.

An all-embracing definition of humour has been attempted by many philosophers, but no definition, no formula had ever been devised that is entirely satisfactory. Aristotle's definition has come to be known loosely as the "disappointment" theory, or the "frustrated expectation", but he also, discussed another theory borrowed in part from Plato which states that the pleasure we derive in laughing is an enjoyment of the misfortune of others, due to a momentary feeling of superiority or gratified vanity in appreciation of the fact that we ourselves are not in the observed predicament.

第36题:Which of the following can be inferred from the first paragraph?

[A] People don't like to be considered as one with no sense of humour.

[B] People will give you a satisfactory answer to what humour is.

[C] People would like to be a liar or a coward.

[D] People can make light of other's comment on their sense of humour.

考题 根据下面资料,回答题 Last week, when we learned the new word "slovenly", we asked to make a sentence with it. I volunteered to do it by saying "My deskmate is a slovenly girl who clothes never fit her." Hearing this, a whole class burst into laughter and my deskmate face turned red. After class, I learned up from the teacher that my deskmate would have dropped out of school if she hadn′ t been helped with others. My mindless words must have hurt him deeply. Not until then do I realize words could be powerfully in both positive and negative ways. We should avoid hurt others if our words are not encouraging. 答案:解析:asked前加were。解析:考查语态。该句的主语we是动词ask所表动作的承受者,故用被动语态,即“be动词+过去分词”。

考题 资料:With 55% of consumers' customer service interactions starting online and 63% of adults using their smartphone several times a month to seek customer service, your mobile customer service tactics are more important than ever. A strong mobile customer service strategy will not only help you avoid losing customers, it can help you gain new ones and impact the bottom line. Think fast or drop the ball When it comes to customer service, speed is key. If my credit card stops working. or if I am trying to find the gate to my flight, or if I just lost cell reception, I needed the response five minutes ago. When customers do get in touch, it's important to act fast to get them the information they need. Forty-two percent of American shoppers complaining on social channels expect a brand to respond within the hour, and 57% expect the same level of timely customer service via social media at night and on the weekends as during business hours. Customers, however, are not just looking for speedy responses. We're accustomed to having all the information we need at our fingertips. According to Forrester. SS% of shoppers are likely to abandon their online purchase if they can't quickly find an answer to their question and 30% of users considering abandoning a purchase if a site is not mobile optimized, whether that’s on your website or via your social media platforms. Make sure that doesn't happen to you by thinking through potential questions your customers may have, and identifying any missing or incorrect information before customers need to reach out. Additionally, ensure your customer service contact info(whether that's a contact form, email address or social media handle) are readily available on all mobile website pages. The fewer chicks we have to make to get the information we seek, the better!How many people first turn to on-line channels when they seek customer service?A.C D.D答案:B解析:本题问的是“有多少人在寻求客户服务时首先转向在线渠道?”根据主题句可知,是的人,B选项正确。

考题 资料:As a startup founder, my daily tasks include everything from long-term strategic planning to approving team outings and company culture initiatives. Day after day, things inevitably come up that need to get handled ASAP. But I’ve also learned that if you don’t have a strategy for making time for those bigger ambitions and your truly lofty goals, they’ll simply never get done. And that means you won’t make the progress that’s really going to move your business forward. 1. FIND YOUR MOST PRODUCTIVE TIME Face it: You aren’t cranking out work at absolute peak productivity for the entire day. Instead, there are likely certain times when you’re at your most focused and other times when your energy wanes. That’s normal. Maybe for you, it’s bright and early in the morning, before anyone else arrives in the office, when you do your best work. Whenever it is, identify that chunk of time (even if it’s only an hour!) when you feel most productive, and then reserve it on your calendar like you would any other important meeting. You need to protect this block of time from intrusion--it isn’t optional. That way you’re guaranteed to have a regular, designated period when you can at least get started on those bigger to-dos. 2. CREATE PHYSICAL BARRIERS Nobody works in a vacuum. We all have to collaborate with others to some degree or another. And it’s the people we work closest with whom we tend to put first--we want to be readily available if they need our help. But there are times you need to tune out the distractions and focus if you’re going to get any meaningful work done. One of the most effective methods I’ve found is to put physical barriers between us. I’ll work from a conference room or even from home on occasion in order to get some literal space from people needing “just one quick thing.”According to paragraph 2, which of the following the “chunk of time” the author is talking about? A.When you are most focused B.When there is no distractions C.Late at night D.Bright and early in the morning答案:A解析:本题考查的是细节理解。 【关键词】paragraph 2;chunk of time【主题句】第2自然段Whenever it is, identify that chunk of time when you feel most productive, and then reserve it on your calendar like you would any other important meeting. 无论是在什么时间,确定这段你最高产的时间,在日程中保留这一重要时间段,就像标注其它重要会议一样。【解析】题干意为“根据第2自然段,作者所说的‘大块的时间’是指哪一个?” 选项A意为“当你最专注的时候”;选项B意为“没有讨论的时候”;选项C意为“晚上”;选项D意为“一大早”。根据主题句可知,大块的时间指的是一天中你注意力最集中、最有效率的时间,故选项A正确。

考题 When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share. When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and "too serious" about our stud- ies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say:"Let's start with a train whistle today." We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped. When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend, he was in despair and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other. For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in ~ a funny way, in the other's dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think : "Yes, I must tell..." We have never met. It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist,who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend. What is the best title for the passage?A. Unforgettable Experiences B. Remarkable Imagination C. Lifelong Friendship D. Noble Companions答案:D解析:此题暂无解析考查概括的能力。整篇文章表达的是作者在不同时期的朋友伴随自己成长变化的过程,说明了朋友对自己的影响和崇高的友谊。
