11、ing to please everyone but pleasing no-one,” she says, “I had to rethink the way I made my decisions.” Author of the bestselling Winning (written with husband Jack Welch, former head of GE), Suzy Welch, 49, has a new book, 10-10-10, that details the strategy(策略) she created after the big decision-ma
12、king moment. The mother of four explains: “When faced with a vital decision, ask yourself, how will my choice affect my life ten minutes from now? Ten months from now? Ten years from now? “Too often we decide something by avoiding the immediate ouch. But by looking at the middle and longer time fram
13、es(框架) as well as the short-term, were accessing our real values. My business trip is an example. Had I applied the strategy to it back then, I would have declined it. I had other work travel coming up. I was needed at home. “Many people have found 10-10-10 thrilling. A businessman moved forward wit

Often, in our most stressful moments, we make decisions by instinct (本能)only. Or we ask a friend for advice. Or we make no decision and suffer
15、 for it. We can live much more deliberately by taking control of choices and really understanding them.“Sure, theres still room for spontaneity(自发的行为).

19、 business D. how to make detailed strategies in business BTheres no doubt that our character has a profound effect on our future. What we must remember, however, is not merely how powerful character is in influencing our fate, but how powerful we are in shaping our own character and, therefore, our
20、own fate. Character may determine our fate, but character is not determined by fate.Its a common mistake to think of character as something that is fully formed and fixed very early in life. It calls to mind old proverbs like “A leopard cant change its spots” and “You cant teach an old dog new trick
21、s.”This perspective that our character is etched in stone is supported by a great deal of modern psychology emphasizing self-acceptance. As Popeye says, “I am what I am.” The hidden message is: dont expect me to be more, better, or different.Ultimately, these views of humanity totally undervalue the
22、 lifelong potential for growth that comes with the power of reflection and choice.How depressing it would be to believe that we cant choose to be better, more honest, more respectful, more responsible, and more caring. None of us should give up the personal seeking to improve our character. Not beca

24、 but moral will power is needed to make us better.No, it isnt easy. But if we make a great effort to become more aware of the habits of heart and mind that drive our behavior, we can begin to place new emphasis on our higher values so that we become what we want our children to think we are.4.

26、-acceptance. C. We should value our lifelong potential for growth. D. We should make choices constantly. 6. What do we need to improve ourselves according to the author? A. Our smartness. B. Our will power. C. Our fate. D. Our character.7. What is the best title of the passage? A. Character can be f
27、ormed and fixed. B. Character determines our fate. C. We shape our own character. D. Changing our character isnt easy.CThis is a story told or read to children of young ages. The heroine, Cinderella, treated cruelly by her stepmother and her two ugly stepsisters, is helpless until the right magic co
28、mes along. She meets her prince and they live together happilyJust a sweet, pretty tale? Not in the view of Ellen Macintosh, who has written much about fairy tales. “Instead of standing up to her cruel stepmother and stepsisters, Cinderella just waits for a fairy godmother to appear and solve her pr
