last ten years. What is

Smoking advertisements in public places and on

The
answer is that while our government has forbidden
some types of ads, other kinds are still
OK. Cigarette manufacturers spend

sums of money to get their message out.
This is

Sometimes the

阅读理解
You will be surprised how often people
simply want to get things off their chests. All
you have
to do is just listen. Keep on
listening. Don't answer back, and in nine cases
out of ten, your
staff will leave your
room perfectly happy and satisfied.
Even ordinary things should be noticed
and appreciated. That's what the smart boss does.
So
you shouldn't just praise once and
forget about it. If someone has done a good job,
you should
mention it again and again
and again, because for most of us the desire for
appreciation is
never satisfied.
Moreover, a good supervisor
(
监管者
) certainly notices the
changes in all members of his staff
and
asks about them. When a staff member is back from
leave, the good supervisor asks the
staff member how he enjoyed his time
off. He welcomes him back with a cheerful smile.
It is
just these small touches that
make all the difference between a pleasant and
unpleasant
working environment.
It is a fact that anyone
loves being given attention, and you have to
recognize it if you want
good results
when dealing with people. People crave
(
渴求
) attention. And they
will get it one
way or another. If they
can't get it by being constructive
(
建设性的
), they will get it by
being
destructive
(
破坏性的
). Don't ignore people.
Even a few seconds of attention periodically
(
周期
性地
) can make
all the difference.
As a
boss, before you yourself eat or look after your
own needs, you must see to the needs of
your people. You should also keep
yourself in touch with the habits and ways of the
people
who work for you. Give them
plenty of chances to say what they think.
Encourage them to do
so. This is one of
the best ways to keep open the lines of
communication. Do this often. Talk to
your people. Get to know what's on
their minds. Then you will be able to anticipate
their needs
and even stop trouble well
before a matter becomes serious.

If you want to stay young,
sit down and have a good think. This is the
research finding of a
team of Japanese
doctors, who say that most of our brains are not
getting enough exercise
and as a
result, we are aging unnecessarily soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa
wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers
in northern
Japan appeared to be losing
their ability to think and reason at a relatively
early age, and how
the process of aging
could be slowed down.
With
a team of colleagues (
同事
) at
Tokyo National University, he set about measuring
brain
activity of a thousand people of
different ages and varying
(
不同的
) jobs.
Computer technology enabled the
researchers to obtain precise measurements of the
activity
of the front and side sections
of the brain, which relate to intelligence and
feeling, and
determine the human
character. (The rear section of the brain, which
controls functions like
eating and
breathing, does not change with age, and one can
continue living without the ability
to
think and feel.)
Change of
front and side parts, as bits die off, was
observed in some subjects in their thirties,
but it was still not to be seen in some
sixty-and-seventy-year-olds.
Matsuzawa discovered from his tests
that there is a simple answer to the loss normally
associated with age?using the head.
The findings show in
general terms that the decrease of the brain's
ability to think begins
sooner in
people in the country than in the towns. Those
least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are
lawyers, followed by university
professors and doctors. White-collar workers doing
routine
work in government offices are,
however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the
farm worker,
bus driver and shop
assistant.
Matsuzawa's
findings show that thinking can prevent the brain
from shrinking. Blood must
move around
properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen
the brain needs.
to keep blood moving
well is through using the
brain.
conversation. Don't rely on
pocket calculators.
