Don't Let Your Job Search Depress You
如果你现在正在找工作,花费的时间肯定比你想象的要漫长。花费大量时间找工作,还是找不到,所以就不免感到受挫,甚至心碎。那么怎样保持昂扬的斗志呢?请阅读本文,从中找到答案。The best advice Lila gave was to manage your feelings.Becoming negative,cynical(愤世嫉俗),or depressed will work against you.When you get angry with yourself,it shows,Lila says.Don't believe you can easily pretend energy and enthusiasm.Most interviewers will pick up your real feelings.
Actively manage your feelings so that you actually are happy,focused,and energetic.Of course,this is not easy.Here are some changes that should help in this culture of rejection:Be your own good manager.Since searching for a job is indeed a full-time job in itself,manage yourself appropriately.Bad managers are never satisfied,setting impossible goals and then punishing people for not finishing them.Instead,set reasonable weekly goals for networking,researching,or applying for jobs.Reward yourself for achieving your goals or doing something difficult.And never beat up on yourself for doing things wrong or not doing enough,the way a bad manager would.The people around you should be good managers too—encourage them to be supportive.Don't just sit there,doing nothing.This means getting out of the house.Take a class.Join a professional group—they generally have special benefits for unemployed members.Check a few things off your list.Do anything that will get you out,teach you something new,connect you with new people,and perhaps become a new line on your resume(简历).Keep to a routine.Manage your time as if you were working.Keep a regular schedule for researching new positions,following up,and volunteering.Work in exercise — you'll look and feel better.A daily and weekly schedule will provide the structure that will enable you to have a sense of accomplishment.Ⅰ.篇章结构

To our surprise,she doesn't even know where the difference between the two opinions lies.
让我们惊讶的是,她甚至不知道这两种意见的区别所在。(2)it was the man who had shared my taxi是强调句型,强调主语the man。
强调句型由“It is/was+被强调部分+that/who+其他”构成。强调人时可用that/who,强调其他任何部分时只能用that。被强调的部分可以是单词、短语,也可以是从句,但结构必须完整。被强调的成分可以是主语、宾语和状语,但不能是定语或谓语。It is I who am right.正确的是我。(主语)
It was him that we met at the school gate.
我们在校门口遇见的是他。(宾语)
It was in the park that Tom lost his watch.
正是在公园里汤姆把他的手表弄丢了。(状语)在使用强调句型时须注意的几个问题:
①原句子是现在时或将来时,强调句用It is + 被强调的部分 + that (who)...;若原句子是过去时,强调句用:It was + 被强调的部分 + that (who)...
②在强调not...until结构中的时间状语时,应将not移到until前,再将not until部分移到被强调的位置。
③强调主语时,who 或that后面的谓语形式须与被强调的主语保持一致。【解析】 句意:正是在当地导游的帮助下那位爬山者获救了。这是一个It is/was...that...强调句型。判断的标准是:把It is/was和that去掉,然后调整句子的顺序看句子是否成立。如果成立,就是强调句型,反之则不是。而本题将It was和that去掉并调整顺序后为“The mountain climber was rescued with the help of the local guide.”,句子完整无缺,因此是强调句型,所以答案为B。
【答案】 B[自我总结]
1.习语的含义与其中单个单词的意思往往 。习语通常用于 语言中。
2.英语习语常用作 ,所以在理解句意时要注意习语的翻译。
3.习语在描述情景、表达 、激发情绪和 方面比非习语词汇显得更加有效、生动,更让人产生联想、加深印象。
【答案】 1.不一样;非正式 2.比喻 3.思想;想象力一、英语习语的来源
1.源于历史故事或历史事件。如:burn one's boats,相传古罗马恺撒等名将出征时,常烧毁船只,士兵们后退无路,只有勇往直前,战胜敌人。与汉语中的破釜沉舟意义很相近。2.源于《圣经》或神话故事。《圣经》中有很多关于耶稣,撒旦以及一些发人深省的故事,因受到英美国家人民的喜爱而广为流传,成为大量英语习语的来源。如:Achilles' heel (唯一致命的弱点),meet one's Waterloo(一败涂地),a Pandora's box (潘多拉之盒,即灾难、麻烦、祸害的根源),Sphinx's riddle(斯芬克司之谜,比喻难解之谜),As wise as Solomon (像所罗门一样聪明,比喻非常富有智慧等)。 还有一些习语源于神话故事或传说,如:to act the part of a Trojan Horse这句习语的Trojan Horse即出自于希腊神话,古希腊人攻打特洛伊城,久攻不下,于是留下一个内藏有士兵的木马,木马被特洛伊人当做战利品拉入城内,深夜希腊人与木马内士兵里应外合,打下了特洛伊城。现在Trojan Horse被作为用意是对手上当,误以为于己有益的破坏的人或事。3.源于风俗人情,日常生活。海在英国文化背景中扮演着重要的角色,因此很多英语习语都跟海有关系。如:at the sea(茫然,困惑)。同时,人们日常生活中存在着大量日积月累的宝贵的文化资源,英语习语作为一种独特的语言形式,形象地反映出人们平时衣食住行的风俗人情,如:He was a drug addict and went to pot at last.(他吸毒成瘾最后走上了毁灭之路。)其中习语go to pot (变坏,毁灭)是讲人们在饭后将剩菜倒入桶里,意指“无用了”。二、英语习语的分类
英语习语按词性分可分为动词性习语、名词性习语、形容词性习语以及副词性习语。
1.动词性习语
fall by the way 中途遇见某人
go easy 安闲,从容
laugh off one's head笑破肚皮
hang by a hair千钧一发
grasp at a straw抓救命稻草
hang in the balance未见分晓2.名词性习语
flesh and blood 亲属
a drop in the ocean沧海一粟
fish in the air白费力气
money like water挥金如土
a stone's throw一箭之遥
3.形容词性习语
high and weight 趾高气昂的
as poor as a church mouse家贫如洗
as easy as falling off a log极其容易
as plain as the day显而易见4.副词性习语
heart and soul全心全意的
all at sea不知所措
for good永远
in luck幸运三、英汉习语中所反映的文化差异
1.生存环境的差异
习语的产生与人们的劳动和生活密切相关。英国是一个岛国,历史上航海业曾一度领先世界;而汉民族在亚洲大陆生活繁衍,人们的生活离不开土地。比喻花钱浪费,大手大脚,英语是spend money like water,而汉语是“挥金如土”。英语中有许多关于船和水的习语,在汉语中没有完全相同的对应习语,如to rest on one's oars(暂时歇一歇),to keep one's head above water(摆脱困难),all at sea(不知所措)等等。在汉语的文化氛围中,“东风”即是“春天的风”,夏天常与酷暑炎热联系在一起,“赤日炎炎似火烧”、“骄阳似火”是常被用来描述夏天的词语。而英国地处西半球,北温带,海洋性气候,报告春天消息的却是西风,英国著名诗人雪莱的《西风颂》正是对春的讴歌。英国的夏季正是温馨宜人的季节,常与“可爱”、“温和”、“美好”相连。2.习俗差异
英汉习俗差异是多方面的,最典型的莫过于在对狗这种动物的态度上。狗在汉语中是一种卑微的动物。汉语中与狗有关的习语大都含有贬义:“狐朋狗党”、“狗急跳墙”、“狼心狗肺”、“狗腿子”等,尽管近些年来养宠物狗的人数大大增加,狗的“地位”似乎有所改变,但狗的贬义形象却深深地留在汉语言文化中。而在西方英语国家,狗被认为是人类最忠诚的朋友。英语中有关狗的习语除了一部分因受其他语言的影响而含有贬义外,大部分都没有贬义。在英语习语中,常以狗的形象来比喻人的行为。如You are a lucky dog(你是一个幸运儿),Every dog has his day(凡人皆有得意日),Old dog will not learn new tricks(老人学不了新东西)等等。形容人“病得厉害”用sick as a dog,“累极了”是dog-tired。与此相反,中国人十分喜爱猫,用“馋猫”比喻人贪嘴,常有亲昵的成分,而在西方文化中,“猫”被用来比喻“包藏祸心的女人”。
3.宗教信仰方面
与宗教信仰有关的习语也大量地出现在英汉语言中。佛教传入中国已有一千多年的历史,人们相信有“佛主”在左右着人世间的一切,与此有关的习语很多,如“借花献佛”、“闲时不烧香,临时抱佛脚”等。在西方许多国家,特别是在英美,人们信奉基督教,相关的习语如God helps those who help themselves(上帝帮助自助的人),也有go to hell(下地狱去)这样的诅咒。 课件93张PPT。Ⅰ.判断正误
