B is for being extremely busy.
C is for the conscientious ( 勤勤恳恳的 ) way you do your job.
You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say,
the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics.
Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago hard work alone doesn"t ensure career
advancement. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes.
Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics-a better job, a raise, praise-many people
are still unable-or unwilling-to play the game.
People assume that office politics involves some manipulative (工于心计的) behavior, says Deborah
Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. But politics derives from the word
"polite". It can mean lobbying(游说) and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even
trying to please your superior, and then expecting something in return.
In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue one"s own self-interest
in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form of socializing within the office environment-not
just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well.
The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis, says
Neil P. Lewis, a management psychologist. But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each
of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It"s
simple human nature.
Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in
the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still
others associate politics with flattery (奉承), fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may
appear to be flattering their boss for favors.
Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion.
B. the political views and beliefs of office workers
C. the interpersonal relationships within a company
D. the various qualities required for a successful career
B. honest and loyal to his company
C. get along well with his colleagues
D. avoid being too outstanding
B. They feel that such behavior is unprincipled.
C. They are not good at manipulating colleagues.
D. They think the effort will get them nowhere.
B. self-promotion does not necessarily mean flattery
C. hard work contributes very little to one"s promotion
D. many employees fail to recognize the need of flattery

part in a crowd-scene. Although our "act" would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number
of interesting things.
We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge
of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into
position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two
famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors
put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers
down on him, and soon the trees were covered in "snow". Two more fans were turned on, and a "strong
wind" blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.
The next scene was a complete contrast (对比). The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures
taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen (幕). An actor and actress stood in front
of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water"s edge on an island. By a simple trick like
this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!
Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full
three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film "stars"!
B. .A film director.
C. A crowd-scene actor.
D. A workman for scene setting.
B. The man-made scene.
C. The low temperature.
D. The film being shown.
B. More stars would act in the film.
C. The author would leave the studio.
D. The next scene would be prepared.
tell you when your laundry is done via a smartphone app(application).
Strange though it may seem - "my wife already does that" was a common response among attendees
viewing the device when it was introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this week - Samsung is just one of many appliance makers racing to install (安装) a large number of internet-connected features in machines in an effort to make them "smart".
Last year, it was a refrigerator that tweeted. This year, it"s Wi-Fi-enabled laundry machines and fridges that can tell you when your groceries are going bad.
The washers and dryers, available starting in the spring, connect to any smartphone through a downloadable application. The phone can then be used as a remote control, so the machines can be turned on and off while their owners is at work or on the bus.
Samsung says it"s not just something new - the app connection actually has some practical uses.
"If you started to dry clothes in the morning and forgot to take them out, you can go to your phone and restart your dryer for the time when come home, so your clothes are refreshed and ready to go," said
spokesperson Amy Schmidt.
The company also says that with electricity rate (电价) varying depending on the time of day, more
control over when the machines are used can help save money.
Perhaps, but what they will probably really accomplish is what all good technologies do -enable
laziness. Rather than getting up to check on whether the laundry is done, users will instead monitor it on
their phones while watching TV.
B. their wives like doing the laundry.
C. The machine is unrelated to their life.
D. This kind of technology is familiar to them.
B. They can be controlled with a smartphone
C. They are difficult to operate
D. They are sold at a low price
B. it is better to dry clothes in the morning
C. smartphone can shorten the drying time
D. we should refresh clothes back at home
B. Lazy people like using such machines
C. Good technologies also cause problems
D. Television may help do the laundry.
Aren"t you just tired of being told what to do with your time?
Now you have a list to end all lists!
Take a look at the following two examples from the list of "101 things not to do":
Swim with Dolphins (海豚)?
Swimming with dolphins is one of the world"s most profitable tourist activities. However, every
dolphin will welcome having their busy ,tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming pushing around them
in the water. Worse yet, when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists, they could get
caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋桨).
Here"s a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually they"re just opening mouths.
Here"s a little secret. Dolphins look like smilingat you, but actually ther"re just opening their mouths.
Go to See the Mona Lisa?
There must be something about the mysterious (神秘的) smile. The 6 million people who visit the lady
in the Louvre every year can"t all be wrong, after all. But they can be quite annoying, standing in front of
you, holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything. In fact,it is hard for you to see the
painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons. After queuing for hours, many
tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most.
If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldn"t just be smiling, she"d laughing.
So, still long to see the Mona Lisa? If you want to find out more about the list, read 101 Tings NOT to
Do Before You Die. Visit www.not2dobeforeidie.co.uk and buy the book at a 20% discount.

C.intends to persuade people to read more lists
D.wants to provide a list different from other lists
B.To introduce a website
C.To comment on popular lists
D.To recommend tourist activities.
