Attitudes to industrial espionage（間諜活動(dòng)）

What do people think about stealing and selling industrial secrets?

A．Sarah J. . an industrial chemist

For some years now I have been engaged in highly secret chemical research. Because there is so much industrial espionage now. I have got used to a certain lack of freedom. There is an atmosphere：of suspicion almost everywhere，and I am well aware of the dangers of talking about my work，or even of telling new acquaintances where I work. I know I must keep my work secret.

B．Charles S.，an inventor

There was a time. When I was employed as a scientific adviser to a large company，where I thought there was too much secrecy in industry. I have an agent who looks after a part of my business. and she has always  insisted that I take out patents on all of my inventions，however ridiculous they may look. She also insists on my locking away all plans and technical drawings.

C．Peter, a science teacher

I teach chemistry and physics to young people up to the age of l8 to the best of my ability in the hope that they will go to university and eventually go into industry. I hate the whole business of industrial spying：I know it goes on and l warn my students about getting involved in buying or selling secrets. An old friend of mine is a mechanical engineer and although he says he has no important information，he has had his phone tapped （竊聽(tīng)），and he has been approached by a representative of another large company

D．Laura B．，an advertising executive

Some follow sales executives and I were discussing the question of industrial espionage in conference recently. While the others felt it only took place in the manufacturing industries，I pointed out that it was just as prevalent in areas like sales. advertising，insurance and other service industries. It’s a fact of life: we all have our secrets that other companies would pay a lot of money to see.

There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product；the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external（外在的）result or a product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a promotion，the student whose grades improve，the foreigner who learns a new language—these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.
By contrast（對(duì)照），the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine，since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way.The process is not the road itself，but the attitudes，feelings people have，and their caution or courage，as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties.In this process，the journey never really ends;there are always new ways to experience the world，new ideas to try，new challenges to accept.
In order to grow，to travel new roads，people need to have a willingness to take risks，to face the unknown，and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow. Do we see ourselves as quick and curious？If so，then we tend to take more chances and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we're shy and indecisive？Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate，to move slowly，and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe. Do we think we are slow to adapt to change or that we're not smart enough to deal with a new challenge？Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.
These feelings of insecurity and self-­doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we protect ourselves too much，then we stop growing. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.

The English, as a race, are very different from all other nationalities, including their closest neighbors, the French, Belgians and Dutch. It is claimed (聲言) that living on an island  36  from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the  37  are, it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has  38  many attitudes and habits which make them  39 from other nationalities.

Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a  40  , shy and reserved person who is fully relaxed only among people he  41  well. In the  42  of strangers or foreigners he often seems embarrassed. You have only to walk around a city any morning or evening to  43  the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit  44  their newspapers or have a light sleep in a corner with no one speaking.  45 , to do so would seem most unusual to many foreigners. An Englishman pretending to be giving 46  to overseas visitors, once suggested, “On entering a railway carriage, shake hands with all the passengers”. Obviously , he was not being  47  . There is an unwritten  48 clearly understood code (規(guī)則) of behaviour which, if  49  , makes the person immediately suspect(懷疑).

In many parts of the world it is quite  50  to show openly their enthusiasm, emotion, excitement, etc. The Englishman is somewhat  51  . Of course, an Englishman lacks no deep feelings, in fact , no less deeply than any other nationality, but he tends to display his 52  far less. This is reflected in his use of  53 . Imagine a man making a comment on the great  54  of a young girl. A more emotional man might  55  her as “extremely beautiful,” “precious”, however, an Englishman might just say, “Um, she is all right.” The girl who heard this should not be angry because "not bad" and " all right" very often have the same meaning as "first class" " excellent" and this unique style of language use is common in England.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2014屆吉林長(zhǎng)春實(shí)驗(yàn)中學(xué)高二上期期初考試英語(yǔ)A卷試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

For many years, I had a belief that my suffering was due to my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts, and rejections with it.

Many weight－conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved，being special, and being cherished. We fantasize（幻想） about what it will be like when we reach the long－awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.

But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self－worth, and, of course, love.

It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards vary with culture. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us strive hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes.

1.The passage tries to highlight the importance of ________.

A．body size

B．a(chǎn)ttitudes toward life

C．culture difference

D．different beauty standards

2.What does the word “everything” in paragraph 2 mean?

A．All the problems.

B．All the properties.

C．The whole world.

D．The absolute truth.

3.What can be inferred about the author?

A．The author is a Samoan.

B．The author succeeded in losing weight.

C．The author has been troubled by her/ his weight.

D．The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents.

4.According to the author, what is the common view of those who have lost some weight first and gained it back later?

A．They feel angry about the regained weight.

B．They are indifferent to the regained weight.

C．They feel optimistic(樂(lè)觀的) about future plans on weight control.

D．They think they should give up their future plans on weight control.
