When it cmes t writing wrk e­mails，there are many rules t fllw.In the past，peple always wanted t cme acrss as smene wh's calm and prfessinal，which wrkplace manners experts say means they wanted t hld back their lve fr emticns(表情符号)while n the jb.
But language is always changing，and a recent natinal survey in the US fund that 76 percent f Americans said that they had used emticns in digital cmmunicatin at wrk.The mst ppular emticn is the happy face.
Lindsey Pllak，a US career cach wh wrks with Millennials(千禧一代)，has als nticed that emticns have gne frm being inapprpriate fr the wrkplace t being accepted.The reasn behind this，accrding t her，is largely due t the changing f peple in a particular age grup f the wrkfrce.Millennials are nw the biggest generatin in the American wrkfrce.“A few years ag，emticns were abslutely seen as very yung and very persnal，”Pllak said，“Over the past few 've seen emticns becme mre acceptable.I see them mre frequently nt just frm Millennials but frm all generatins at the wrkplace.”
“Peple tend t use emticns t just add that little bit f extra change in the tne when there's smething awkward r ptentially ffensive，r when they might take in things in the wrng way，”explains Lauren Cllister，a scilinguist.In life and wrk，many f us have used emticns t send psitive atmsphere r sften statements.
Pllak，hwever，warns against being t casual at wrk.Her advice is t be aware f wh the audience is.“Frankly，I wuldn't use a happy face with any CEO in the US.I wuldn't use a happy face with the peple f a certain level n matter hw cmmnplace and acceptable it has becme，”she said，“Yu can make r break a relatinship with ne e­mail these days.”

The American newspaper has been arund fr abut three hundred years.In 1721，the printer James Franklin，Benjamin's lder brther，started The New England Curant，and that was what we might recgnize tday as a real newspaper.He filled his paper with stries f adventure，articles n art，n famus peple，and n all srts f plitical subjects.
Three centuries after the appearance f Franklin's Curant，few believe that newspapers in their present printed frm will remain alive fr lng.Newspaper cmpanies are lsing advertisers，readers and market value which wuld nt have been imaginable just several years ag.The chief editr f the Times said recently，“At places where they gather，editrs ask ne anther，‘Hw are yu’as if they have just cme ut f the hspital r a lst law case.”An article abut the newspaper appeared n the website f The Guardian，under the headline “NOT DEAD YET”．
Perhaps nt，but the rise f the Internet，which has made the daily newspaper lk slw and ut f step with the wrld，has brught abut a real sense f death.Sme American newspapers have lst 42% f their market value in the past three years.The New Yrk Times Cmpany has seen its stck(股票)drp by 54%since the end f 2004，with much f the lss cming in the past year.A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stckhlders sell ff their Times stck.The Washingtn Pst Cmpany has prevented the truble nly by changing part f its business t educatin；its testing and test­preparatin service nw bring in at least half the cmpany's incme.

I tld my friend Graham that I ften cycle tw miles frm my huse t the twn centre but unfrtunately there is a big hill n the rute.He replied，“Yu mean frtunately.”He explained that I shuld be glad f the extra exercise that the hill prvided.
My attitude t the hill has nw changed.I used t cmplain as I apprached it but nw I tell myself the fllwing. This hill will exercise my heart and lungs.It will help me t lse weight and get fit.It will mean that I live lnger.This hill is my friend.Finally I cmfrt myself with the thught f all thse silly peple wh pay mney t g t a gym and sit n statinary exercise bicycles when I can get the same value fr free.I have a smile f satisfactin as I reach the tp f the hill.
Prblems are there t be faced and vercme.We cannt achieve anything with an easy life.Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind persn t gain a university degree.Her activism and writing prved inspiratinal.She wrte，“The character cannt be develped with ease.Only thrugh experiences f suffering can the sul be strengthened, visin cleared, ambitin inspired and success achieved.”
One f the main determinants f success in life is ur attitude twards adversity.Frm time t time we all face hardships，prblems，accidents and difficulties.Sme are f ur making but many are n fault f ur wn.While we cannt chse adversity，we can chse ur attitude twards it.
Duglas Bader was 21 when in 1931 he had bth legs cut ff fllwing a flying accident.He was determined t fly again and went n t becme ne f the leading flying aviatrs in the Battle f Britain with 22 aerial victries ver the Germans.He was an inspiratin t thers during the war.He said，“Dn't listen t anyne wh tells yu that yu can't d this r that.That's nnsense.Make up yur mind，and yu'll never use crutches r a stick，and then have a g at everything.G t schl，and jin in all the games yu can.G anywhere yu want t.But never，never let them persuade yu that things are t difficult r impssible.”
The bigraphies f great peple are full f examples f hw they tk steps t vercme the difficulties they faced.The cmmn thread is that they did nt becme depressed.They chse their attitude.They chse t be psitive.They tk n the challenge.They wn.Nevertheless，there is still the prblem f hw yu change yur attitude twards adversity.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。“我”骑自行车去镇中心时要经过山地，“我”经历了从开始的抱怨到将山地当作锻炼契机的过程。人生之旅也是如此，我们要有战胜生活中的艰难的勇气。

A．Thse wh want t achieve success can't expect t live an easy life.
B．Climbing hills n bicycles is the best way t take exercise.
C．Ging t a gym is greatly beneficial t peple's health.
D．Peple's attitude t hardships is the nly factr f their success.
A [考查推理判断。根据第三段的第二句“We cannt achieve anything with an easy life.”可知，简单容易的生活不会使我们取得成功；据此可以推断，想要成功就不要期望过容易的生活，故A项正确。]
10．By quting what Duglas Bader said，the authr intends t tell us “ ”．
A．Failure is the mther f success
B．A bad wrkman quarrels with his tls
C．Nthing is difficult t the man wh will try

C [考查目的意图。根据第五段Duglas Bader所讲的“‘Make up yur mind，and yu'll never use crutches r a stick，and then have a g at everything... impssible.’”可知，Duglas Bader认为面对困难应当勇敢尝试，不要听信别人所言的太困难或不可能，没有什么克服不了的困难；据此可以判断，作者引用Duglas Bader的话旨在说明，对于勇于尝试的人来说，世界上没有克服不了的困难。故C项正确。]
11．Fllwing this passage，the authr will further talk abut ．
A．hw his friend helped him t change his attitude twards the challenge he faced
B．why it is imprtant t keep ptimistic in the face f truble

D．what great peple have in cmmn
C [考查推理判断。根据文章最后一句“Nevertheless，there is still the prblem f hw yu change yur attitude twards adversity.”可知，如何改变面对困难的态度仍然是一个问题；据此可以判断，下文将就此问题作进一步的阐述。故C项正确。]
[干扰项分析] A项错，“his friend helped him t change his attitude”与本文第一段所举的例子重复，B项意为“面对困难，如何保持乐观很重要”，D项意为“伟大的人的共同之处”，都与文章最后一段无关。
12．Which f the fllwing can best functin as the title f the passage?
