Giving bad news is a difficult ball
game. To help you get through an already difficult
situation, try these tips when you have
to tell someone bad news.
Think
about
your
audience.
People
respond
differently
to
bad
news.
Think
about
who
you're talking to and how best to pass on
unpleasant information to that person.
Consider
the
news.
Are
you
the
best
person
to
give
this
news?
If
not,
then
you
should
consider
letting
others
do
it.
Remember,
however,
that
if
you
’
re
talking
to
someone about your relationship,
there is no other choice. It is something
you
yourself have to face.
Look
for
an
appropriate
moment
to
break
the
news.
You
don't
tell
the
bride
her
grandfather died right
before she walks down the passage. Wait until the
time is right
and you are at a private
place where you won't be interrupted.
Find a chair. No one should be standing
when receiving bad news.
Go
straightforward.
Give
bad
news
the
same
way
you
take
off
a
bandage:
QUICKLY.
Say
that
you
have
bad
news
and
then
tell
it.
Don't
leave
the
receiver
twisting in the wind.
.
Let it sink in. Many people mentally
shut down when hearing bad news. There's
no
reason to keep talking if
someone can
’t h
ear you any
more.
Be ready for anything.
Your audience may do nothing or may instead scream
and
throw things when you give
unwelcome news. You just never know. If things get
out
of hand, you may need to
temporarily excuse yourself or seek the help of
friends or s.
Offer your
help. Let people know you are there for them. If
you're breaking up with
someone,
however,
you
should
consider
skipping
this
step,
because the
last
thing
she'll want is your help.
25. The proper way to
express your dissatisfaction with your best friend
is to
A. think about his reaction and
avoid letting him know it
B. go to your
friend and let him know your dissatisfaction
C. try to find someone else to pass on
your dissatisfaction
D. consider you
are the best person to tell the truth
26. What is the best way for you to
break the bad news to a bride?
A. To let her stand up
C. To
wait for a right time
.
B. To release
it quickly
D. To shut down
her mind
27. If your
friend loses control of himself after
hearing the bad news,
you
’d
better
.
B.
scream and throw things
D.
stay in and keep talking
A.
quit and ask others for help
C. stay
there and do nothing
A. She will refuse
any offered help
B. She will
need your help later on
C.
You should have helped her earlier
28. What does the underlined sentence
really mean?
D. She hates accepting any
of your help
C
Each year, we are exposed to ten
thousand ads on average. They try to sell us their
products by using beautiful art,
videos, images or slogans that are catchy. The
most
famous companies have highly
popular logos that can be recognized by almost
everybody. For those of you who have
seen the movie Finding Forrester, there is that
scene where Jamal walks up to some guy
with a BMW and asks him what the car logo
means. The man did not know the answer
and since that day, whenever I see a famous
company logo I try to find the meaning
of it.
Many think the horse
on the Ferrari logo represents the horsepower of
the cars
they manufacture. The story
behind it is far more interesting. During World
War I, a
pilot, Count Francesco
Baracca, painted the horse on his airplane to
bring him luck.
He had it on
his plane because it was the logo of his
squadron
（空军中队）
.
Baracca
’s
mother
then convinced Enzo Ferrari to put the logo on his
racing cars in the
early
1930
’
s to bring good luck to
the drivers. The logo then stayed the same ever
since. The yellow on the background
represents the birthplace of Enzo
Ferrari.
Starbucks started
in 1971, in Seattle. The
mermaid
（美人鱼）
represented on
the
logo is now known by any
coffee drinker. It is a mythological sea creature
with the
look of a female, the only
difference being that they have a tail of a fish.
The reason
why Starbucks incorporated
o
ne in their company logo is
that it was believed that
mermaids used
to sing to sailors in order to make them walk away
from their ship or
to ground
their ships. In the 1500s, spices, tea and coffee
were popular merchandise to
trade. So the mermaid in the logo of
Starbucks is the one that
“
b
rings
”
coffee and
tea
to the
stores.
29. The writer
became interested in logos of some famous brands
after
A. he watched an attractive
movie
D. he noticed some famous
logos
30. Many companies use
logos because
A. people enjoy
beautiful logos
B. people
are more likely to buy their products
C. people can recognize the products
more easily
D. people are
interested in the meanings of the logos
31. Which of the following is true
according to Paragraph3?
A.
Starbucks was once a company trading spices, tea
and coffee. B.
Hearing mermaids sing,
sailors would know the right direction. C.
Starbucks has a history of more than
five hundred years.
D. The
logo of Starbucks is believed to make the business
years.

Do
you
believe
that
things
are
connected
for
no
scientific
reason
at
all? For
example, do you avoid saying the word
“
four
”
to avoid bad luck? If so, you have a
superstition
(
迷信
). And
you
’
re not alone
–
all kinds of people have
them.
For example,
Portuga
l’s
soccer superstar
Cristiano Ronaldo always steps onto the
pitch (
球场
) with
his right foot first, according to The Telegraph.
And sports players
are
not
alone
in
having
superstitions.
A
visitor
once
asked
the
Nobel
Prize
winning
scientist
Niels
Bohr
whether
he
really
believed
that
the
horseshoe
he
’d
hung
at
his
country home
was
lucky.
“
Of
course
not,”
the
Danish
physicist said.
“
But
I
understand it
’s
lu
cky whether you believe in
i
t or not.”
One
recent
study
found
that
even
scientists
at
MIT
and
other
top US
schools
tended
to
look
for
a
meaning
in
natural
events,
similar
to
the
connection
between
_.
B. he saw a scene in a movie
C. he walked up to some guy with a BMW
.
stepping
on
the
pitch
and
playing
soccer
well,
according
to
The
Atlantic.
When
the
researchers
gave
the
scientists
little
time
to
answer
questions,
they
were
twice
as
likely
to
agree
with
statements
such
as
“
Trees
produce
oxygen
so
that
animals
can
breathe
”
as they
were when they had more time to think about their
reply.
It seems that fear
can make people think differently in this way,
too. In a British
study, students
imagined meeting a
“witch”
who said she would cast
(
施魔法
) an evil
spell(
符咒
) on
them. About half said a scientist should not be
worried about the spell.
Yet
each of them said that, personally, they
wouldn
’
t let the witch do it
to them.
So why are so many
of us superstitious? Well, it seems to be our way
of dealing
with the
unknown.
“
Many people
quite
simply just
want to believe,
”
Brian Cronk,
a
professor of psychology at Missouri
WesternState University, said in a 2008 interview.
“
The
human
brain
is
always
trying
to
work
out
why
things
happen,
and
when
the
reason is not
clear, we tend to make up some pretty bizarre
(
古怪的
)
explanati
ons.”
And
these
explanations
aren
’
t
completely
unhelpful.
In
fact,
superstitions
can
sometimes
work
and
bring
real
luck,
according
to
psychologists
at
the University of Cologne in Germany in
the
May 2010
issue of
the
journal
Psychological
Science.
They
found
that
believing
in
something
can
improve
performance on a
task like an exam.
So,
what
about
you?
What
superstitions
do
you
follow
to
keep
you
safe
and
successful?
