Ask lts f questins
In ther wrds, be humble. If yu cme acrss as a knw-it-all (even if yu really d knw it all!)， it really pushes peple away. Rather, asking lts and lts f questins (even dumb nes) makes peple feel like yu care, yu can be trusted, and yu are... humble.

3.Smetimes yu’ll hear peple say that yu can’t lve thers until yu lve yurself. Smetimes yu’ll hear peple say that yu can’t expect smene else t lve yu until yu lve yurself. Either way, yu’ve gt t lve yurself first and this can be tricky.

Self-image is yur wn mind’s picture f yurself. This image includes the way yu lk, the way yu act, the way yu talk and the way yu think. Interestingly, ur self-images are ften quite different frm the images thers hld abut us. Unfrtunately, mst f these images are mre negative than they shuld be. Thus changing the way yu think abut yurself is the key t changing yur self-image and yur whle wrld.

4.It desn’t kill germs better than cler water, but turning tap temperatures high, the US burns carbn equal t the emissins f Barbads.
Peple typically wash their hands seven times a day in the United States, but they d it at a far higher temperature than is necessary t kill germs, a new study says. The energy waste is equivalent t the fuel use f a small cuntry.
It’s cld and flu seasn, when many peple are cncerned abut aviding germs. But frget what yu think yu knw abut hand washing, say researchers at Vanderbilt University. Chances are gd that hw yu clean up is nt helping yu stay healthy; it is helping t make the planet sick.
Amanda R. Carric, a research assistant prfessr at the Vanderbilt Institute fr Energy and Envirnment in Tennessee, tld Natinal Gegraphic that hand washing is ften “a case where peple act in ways that they think are in their best interest, but they in fact have inaccurate beliefs r utdated perceptins.”
Carric said, “It’s certainly true that heat kills bacteria, but if yu were ging t use ht water t kill them it wuld have t be way t ht fr yu t tlerate.”
She explained that biling water, 212°F (99.98°C), is smetimes used t kill germs - fr example, t clean drinking water that might be plluted with germs. But “ht” water fr hand washing is generally within 104°F t 131°F (40°C t 55°C.) At the high end f that range, heat culd kill sme germs, but the sustained cntact that wuld be required wuld scald the skin.
Carric said that after a review f the scientific literature, her team fund “n evidence that using ht water that a persn culd stand wuld have any benefit in killing bacteria.” Even water as cld as 40°F (4.4°C) appeared t reduce bacteria as well as htter water, if hands were scrubbed, rinsed（冲洗）and dried prperly.
In fact, she nted that ht water can ften have an unfavrable effect n hygiene. “Warmer water can harm the skin and affect the prtective layer n the utside, which can cause it t be less resistant t bacteria,” said Carric.
Using ht water t wash hands is therefre unnecessary, as well as wasteful, Carric said, particularly when it cmes t the envirnment. Accrding t her research, peple use warm r ht water 64 percent f the time when they wash their hands. Using that number, Carric’s team calculated a significant impact n the planet.
“Althugh the chice f water temperature during a single hand wash may appear minr, when multiplied by the nearly 800 billin hand washes perfrmed by Americans each year, this practice results in mre than 6 millin metric tns f CO2 equivalent emissins annually,” she said.
That’s rughly equal t the emissins f tw cal-fired pwer plants, r 1,250,000 passenger vehicles, ver the curse f a year. It’s higher than the greenhuse gas emissins f small cuntries like El Salvadr r Armenia, and is abut equivalent t the emissins f Barbads. If all US citizens washed their hands in cler water, it wuld be like eliminating the energy-related carbn emissins f 299,700 US hmes, r the ttal annual emissins frm the US zinc r lead industries.
The researchers fund that clse t 70 percent f respndents said they believe that using ht water is mre effective than warm, rm temperature, r cld water, despite a lack f evidence backing that up, said Carric. Her study nted research that shwed a “strng cgnitive（认知的） cnnectin” between water temperature and hygiene in bth the United States and Western Eurpe, cmpared t ther cuntries, like Japan, where ht water is assciated mre with cmfrt than with health.
The researchers published their results in the July 2013 issue f Internatinal Jurnal f Cnsumer Studies. They recmmended washing with water that is at a “cmfrtable” temperature, which they nted may be warmer in cld mnths and cler in ht nes.

5.My day began n a definitely sur nte when I saw my six-year-ld wrestling with a limb f my azalea（杜鹃花）bush. By the time I gt utside, he’d brken it. “Can I take this t schl tday?” he asked. With a wave f my hand, I sent him ff. I turned my back s he wuldn’t see the tears gathering in my eyes.
The washing machine had leaked n my brand-new linleum. If nly my husband had just taken the time t fix it the night befre when I asked him instead f playing checkers with Jnathan.
It was days like this that made me want t quit. I just wanted t drive up t the muntains, hide in a cave, and never cme ut.
Smehw I spent mst f the day washing and drying clthes and thinking hw lve had disappeared frm my life. As I finished hanging up the last f my husband’s shirts, I lked at the clck. 2:30. I was late. Jnathan’s class let ut at 2:15 and I hurriedly drve t the schl.
I was ut f breath by the time I kncked n the teacher’s dr and peered thrugh the glass. She rustled thrugh the dr and tk me aside. “I want t talk t yu abut Jnathan,” she said.
I prepared myself fr the wrst. Nthing wuld have surprised me. “Did yu knw Jnathan brught flwers t schl tday?” she asked. I ndded, thinking abut my favrite bush and trying t hide the hurt in my eyes. “Let me tell yu abut yesterday,” the teacher insisted. “See that little girl?” I watched the bright-eyed child laugh and pint t a clrful picture taped t the wall. I ndded.
“Well, yesterday she was almst hysterical. Her mther and father are ging thrugh a nasty divrce. She tld me she didn’t want t live, she wished she culd die. I watched that little girl bury her face in her hands and say lud enugh fr the class t hear, ‘Nbdy lves me.’ I did all I culd t cmfrt her, but it nly seemed t make matters wrse.” “I thught yu wanted t talk t me abut Jnathan,” I said.
“I d,” she said, tuching the sleeve f my bluse. “Tday yur sn walked straight ver t that child. I watched him hand her sme pretty pink flwers and whisper, ‘I lve yu.’“
I felt my heart swell with pride fr what my sn had dne. I smiled at the teacher. “Thank yu,” I said, reaching fr Jnathan’s hand, “yu’ve made my day.”
Later that evening, I began pulling weeds frm arund my azalea bush. As my mind wandered back t the lve Jnathan shwed the little girl, a biblical verse came t me: “ three remain: faith, hpe and lve. But the greatest f these is lve.” While my sn had put lve int practice, I had nly felt anger.
I heard the familiar squeak f my husband’s brakes as he pulled int the drive. I snapped a small limb bristling with ht pink azaleas ff the bush. I felt the seed f lve that Gd planted in my family beginning t blm nce again in me. My husband’s eyes widened in surprise as I handed him the flwers. “I lve yu,” I said.
【小题1】 Why did the wman cry when seeing her sn had brken the azalea bush?
A. Because she culd nt tlerate the harm t it. B. Because it made her bad md even wrse.
C. Because her sn did nt ask her fr permissin. D. Because she wanted t hand it t her husband.
【小题２】The writer wanted t hide in the muntain cave prbably fr the reasn f .

Q: Is using emticns ever inapprpriate t express a feeling r make a pint in texts r e-mails?
A: Emticns are fr fun. Is the message yu’re writing fun? Use an emticn. Are yu asking fr a big favr? Skip it. Is the message t yur bss r a clleague? Skip it. Avid them if yu want t be taken seriusly abut anything.
Q: I have a big, happy annuncement t share with a lt f peple. Is it apprpriate t share it n my blg?
A: Yes, s yu dn’t have t g cc-ing everyne in an e-mail. Pst away. But send a private message t thse wh shuld knw first.
Q: I have a big, sad annuncement. What shuld I d?

Self-image is yur wn mind’s picture f yurself. This image includes the way yu lk, the way yu act, the way yu talk and the way yu think. Interestingly, ur self-images are ften quite different frm the images thers hld abut us. Unfrtunately, mst f these images are mre negative than they shuld be. Thus changing the way yu think abut yurself is the key t changing yur self-image and yur whle wrld.
The best way t defeat a passive self-image is t step back and decide t stress yur success. That is, make a list if yu need t, but write dwn all f the great things yu d every day. Dn’t allw dubts t ccur in it.

4.It desn’t kill germs better than cler water, but turning tap temperatures high, the US burns carbn equal t the emissins f Barbads.
Peple typically wash their hands seven times a day in the United States, but they d it at a far higher temperature than is necessary t kill germs, a new study says. The energy waste is equivalent t the fuel use f a small cuntry.
It’s cld and flu seasn, when many peple are cncerned abut aviding germs. But frget what yu think yu knw abut hand washing, say researchers at Vanderbilt University. Chances are gd that hw yu clean up is nt helping yu stay healthy; it is helping t make the planet sick.
Amanda R. Carric, a research assistant prfessr at the Vanderbilt Institute fr Energy and Envirnment in Tennessee, tld Natinal Gegraphic that hand washing is ften “a case where peple act in ways that they think are in their best interest, but they in fact have inaccurate beliefs r utdated perceptins.”
Carric said, “It’s certainly true that heat kills bacteria, but if yu were ging t use ht water t kill them it wuld have t be way t ht fr yu t tlerate.”
She explained that biling water, 212°F (99.98°C), is smetimes used t kill germs - fr example, t clean drinking water that might be plluted with germs. But “ht” water fr hand washing is generally within 104°F t 131°F (40°C t 55°C.) At the high end f that range, heat culd kill sme germs, but the sustained cntact that wuld be required wuld scald the skin.
Carric said that after a review f the scientific literature, her team fund “n evidence that using ht water that a persn culd stand wuld have any benefit in killing bacteria.” Even water as cld as 40°F (4.4°C) appeared t reduce bacteria as well as htter water, if hands were scrubbed, rinsed（冲洗）and dried prperly.
In fact, she nted that ht water can ften have an unfavrable effect n hygiene. “Warmer water can harm the skin and affect the prtective layer n the utside, which can cause it t be less resistant t bacteria,” said Carric.
Using ht water t wash hands is therefre unnecessary, as well as wasteful, Carric said, particularly when it cmes t the envirnment. Accrding t her research, peple use warm r ht water 64 percent f the time when they wash their hands. Using that number, Carric’s team calculated a significant impact n the planet.
“Althugh the chice f water temperature during a single hand wash may appear minr, when multiplied by the nearly 800 billin hand washes perfrmed by Americans each year, this practice results in mre than 6 millin metric tns f CO2 equivalent emissins annually,” she said.
That’s rughly equal t the emissins f tw cal-fired pwer plants, r 1,250,000 passenger vehicles, ver the curse f a year. It’s higher than the greenhuse gas emissins f small cuntries like El Salvadr r Armenia, and is abut equivalent t the emissins f Barbads. If all US citizens washed their hands in cler water, it wuld be like eliminating the energy-related carbn emissins f 299,700 US hmes, r the ttal annual emissins frm the US zinc r lead industries.
The researchers fund that clse t 70 percent f respndents said they believe that using ht water is mre effective than warm, rm temperature, r cld water, despite a lack f evidence backing that up, said Carric. Her study nted research that shwed a “strng cgnitive（认知的） cnnectin” between water temperature and hygiene in bth the United States and Western Eurpe, cmpared t ther cuntries, like Japan, where ht water is assciated mre with cmfrt than with health.
The researchers published their results in the July 2013 issue f Internatinal Jurnal f Cnsumer Studies. They recmmended washing with water that is at a “cmfrtable” temperature, which they nted may be warmer in cld mnths and cler in ht nes.

5.My day began n a definitely sur nte when I saw my six-year-ld wrestling with a limb f my azalea（杜鹃花）bush. By the time I gt utside, he’d brken it. “Can I take this t schl tday?” he asked. With a wave f my hand, I sent him ff. I turned my back s he wuldn’t see the tears gathering in my eyes.
The washing machine had leaked n my brand-new linleum. If nly my husband had just taken the time t fix it the night befre when I asked him instead f playing checkers with Jnathan.
It was days like this that made me want t quit. I just wanted t drive up t the muntains, hide in a cave, and never cme ut.
Smehw I spent mst f the day washing and drying clthes and thinking hw lve had disappeared frm my life. As I finished hanging up the last f my husband’s shirts, I lked at the clck. 2:30. I was late. Jnathan’s class let ut at 2:15 and I hurriedly drve t the schl.
I was ut f breath by the time I kncked n the teacher’s dr and peered thrugh the glass. She rustled thrugh the dr and tk me aside. “I want t talk t yu abut Jnathan,” she said.
I prepared myself fr the wrst. Nthing wuld have surprised me. “Did yu knw Jnathan brught flwers t schl tday?” she asked. I ndded, thinking abut my favrite bush and trying t hide the hurt in my eyes. “Let me tell yu abut yesterday,” the teacher insisted. “See that little girl?” I watched the bright-eyed child laugh and pint t a clrful picture taped t the wall. I ndded.
“Well, yesterday she was almst hysterical. Her mther and father are ging thrugh a nasty divrce. She tld me she didn’t want t live, she wished she culd die. I watched that little girl bury her face in her hands and say lud enugh fr the class t hear, ‘Nbdy lves me.’ I did all I culd t cmfrt her, but it nly seemed t make matters wrse.” “I thught yu wanted t talk t me abut Jnathan,” I said.
“I d,” she said, tuching the sleeve f my bluse. “Tday yur sn walked straight ver t that child. I watched him hand her sme pretty pink flwers and whisper, ‘I lve yu.’“
I felt my heart swell with pride fr what my sn had dne. I smiled at the teacher. “Thank yu,” I said, reaching fr Jnathan’s hand, “yu’ve made my day.”
Later that evening, I began pulling weeds frm arund my azalea bush. As my mind wandered back t the lve Jnathan shwed the little girl, a biblical verse came t me: “ three remain: faith, hpe and lve. But the greatest f these is lve.” While my sn had put lve int practice, I had nly felt anger.
I heard the familiar squeak f my husband’s brakes as he pulled int the drive. I snapped a small limb bristling with ht pink azaleas ff the bush. I felt the seed f lve that Gd planted in my family beginning t blm nce again in me. My husband’s eyes widened in surprise as I handed him the flwers. “I lve yu,” I said.
