Humanities departments(人文院系)in America are once again being cut down. Earlier this month, the State University of New York(SUNY)StonyBrook announced a plan to abandon several of the college’s well-known departments for lack of fund. The University of Pittsburgh has cut its German and classics. 1 In the UK, Middlesex University decided to gradually get rid of philosophy department. In June 2015, the Japanese minister of education sent a letter to the presidents of the national universities of Japan, suggesting they close their graduate
and undergraduate departments in the humanities and social sciences and focus on something more practical.
These are hard times. Instead of Shakespeare or French, there will be(perhaps there already are)college classes in how to cut corporate spending. 2 But the only opportunity has been lost if they are denied the opportunity to study foreign languages, the classics, literature, philosophy, music, theater and art in the university.
When else in their busy lives will they get that chance

more clearly.

If you’re always comparing yourself to your peers, you might be low in confidence and unsure of yourself.
Here are some tips on how to stop comparing yourself to others.
Write down your positive traits. When you ignore your abilities, it becomes easier to compare yourself to others. You might focus on their strengths and ignore your own completely. 16 By being aware of your
best qualities, you can learn to love yourself and build up your self -confidence.
Keep a gratitude journal. A gratitude journal helps you recognize the things you may take for granted so you can fully appreciate them. To start journaling, reflect on the little things that bring you joy. 17 Explain how they influence your life in detail. For example, if you jog in the park every day, you might express how you’re
grateful for your health and how jogging helps you overcome stress at work.
18 Instead of focusing on your “weaknesses”, reflect on the areas you can improve. Take advantage of all chances to improve your skills and techniques. Don’t be afraid to ask other people for help along the way.
Only by making efforts to improve your abilities can you make yourself happy.
Compete against yourself. 19 Instead, use comparison to become an improved version of yourself. Set goals for yourself and try to improve your own personal best. When you set a goal for yourself, track your
progress so that you can see how you are moving toward that goal. That way
Overcoming comparison is a continuous process, but it is possible! 20
A ．Take control over your life.
B ．Work on improving your abilities.
C ．Don’t compare your life to other people’s.
D ．Write down why you’re grateful for them.
E ．With time and practice, you can become the best version of yourself.
F ．Appreciate others and use their success to motivate you to work hard.
G ．To avoid this negative behavior, make a list of your strengths and talents.

If you want to be confident at interview and get the job, body language will be important.
Here are some useful tips for your body language during a job interview.
Make a great entrance. A job interview actually starts before you get to the interview room. You don't know
who could be looking at you from a window or standing next to you in the elevator. Your body language should tell
others that you're confident and calm. 21 .
Don’t go for direct eye contact. 22 . A more effective way to make sure you look interested is to look
at different parts of an interviewer's face every two seconds such as their nose, eyes and lips.
Use hand gestures while you're speaking. If you’re not sure what to do with your hands, go ahead and gesture while you're speaking. When you're really nervous, you may want to hide your hand because they express your
anxiety. 23
Stay positive. Your body language follows your mind. If your mind is negative, your body will consciously create negative energy. However, stay positive and you feel confident in your body language. 24 . And
your smiles will be more likely to leave a good impression on the interviewers.
Work on your walk. Interviewers often make a hiring judgment within the first 10 seconds of meeting you. 25 . When walking directly toward the interviewer, you had better make your body point in his direction and
maintain eye contact with him occasionally.
A ．Instead, make “direct face contact” .
B ．How you walk into the room is a part of that judgment.
C ．At this time, it's a good choice for you to hide your hands.
D ．Instead, using your hands gesture can make you feel relaxed.
E ．If your have a positive mind, you will wear a smile on your face.
F ．It's very important to review your information you have prepared.
G ．It's improper to crazily search your file for your resume at this time.

New animals
In northern Vietnam, in thick forests in the North Annamite Mountains, there is a wildlife park called Vu Quang. In 1986, the area was made an official forest reserve. In 2002, 550 square kilometers of the area were declared a National Park. 26 . It is in an area that is hard to get to, for one thing. And it’s an area that’s
difficult to walk through because the rocks are covered with algae and are very slippery.
27 . In the last twenty years, several new species of animals that have never been seen anywhere in the world before have been discovered there. Some of them are so new that scientists haven’t given them official
names yet!
The new animals discovered at the park include the Vu Quang ox or Saola, a “slow” deer, a giant muntjac (the world’s largest, in fact), a black deer and a “holy” goat. 28 , as well as two species of amphibians and 15
species of reptiles.
The Saola was the first new species of large mammal to be discovered in more than fifty years, so it caused a lot of excitement in the scientific world. It is a strange goat-like creature that looks as if it is somehow related to cattle. It has horns that can be between one and two feet long, and that seem to come out of the animal’s head at
slightly different angles. 29 .
The creature had hidden safely for generations in the Vu Quang area. But once it was discovered, it was in
danger. 30 . Sadly, the Saola is now being hunted and may well end up as another endangered species.
A ．That’s why it attracts hunters
B ．Vu Quang is no ordinary park, though
C ．Hunters have no respect for new species
D ．But that’s not all that is unusual about Vu Quang
E ．Five new species of fish have also been found there
F ．This was the first time so many new species had been found in this area
G ．That’s why it is called “Saola”, meaning “spinning wheel posts” in Vietnamese

During job or school interviews, you’re likely to be asked what your strengths and weaknesses are, because the interviewers are interested in how your areas of strengths and weaknesses might affect your performance in this position. 31 For instance, you may be skilled in cooking, but if you’re applying for an office job, this
strength may be irrelevant.
However, knowing your personal areas of strengths and weaknesses is not a piece of cake. It takes
self-awareness and self-reflection. So ask yourself what you are good or weak at. 32
33 For example, let’s say my strength is creativity and yours is planning; we both want to have the same career. We might go about getting there in very different ways. If I did something creative to get my dream job and you planned carefully, we’d both likely be successful. But if I tried planning and you tried something
creative, both of us might fail. 34
Having a weakness doesn’t have to be a bad thing. It could be something you struggle with, but it could also be something you haven’t spent time developing yet. 35 For example, maybe your area of weakness is relevant to gratitude. You just haven’t spent a lot of time thinking about gratitude before. But now you engage in a
bunch of activities that help you turn gratitude into an area of strength. Hey, now you’ve got one more skill!
A ．Is it proper to begin with a truthful answer
B ．Our areas of strengths can help us achieve our goals.
C ．Or,ask your friends about your qualities or weaknesses.
D ．Thus, it’s helpful to know your strengths related to the role.
E ．Many job applicants are unsure how to approach this question.
F ．By turning a weakness into a strength, you build other important skills.
G ．That’s why it is important to know and use our strengths to reach goals.

Reversal—change your perspective and solve your problem
It’s often your definition of a problem that limits you in finding a suitable solution. Creative solutions require
a change of perspective. 36
The reversal technique is a creative thinking technique that is based on the thought that to change your
perspective, you sometimes need to change the order of the words in your problem definition.
How you change the order of the words doesn’t matter much, as long as the key words are reversed. 37 Your challenge is “How do we make sure that fewer people take cars to their work ”. Swapping ( 交换) the key
words, you could rephrase this challenge as “How do we make sure that fewer cars take people to their work ” .
Not every problem statement is suitable for a reversal. Sometimes using this technique requires you to first rephrase the question altogether. 38 For instance, the question “How might we sell more washing machines ” is not easily reversed—there is no key word to swap with “washing machines”. Yet, when you rephrase the question to “How might we sell more washing machines to young parents ”, you can easily change it to “How might we sell more young parents to washing machines ” . 39 You could interpret this last sentence as “the washing machine pays the young parents to try it out” 。Then, you could start communicating to potential
buyers how much they will save each year when they choose your energy-efficient washing machine.
As this example shows, some reversals will require a very flexible way of thinking. 40 However, thinking about the tiny amount of time it will “cost” you to try out a reversal, you have very little to lose and,
potentially, lots to gain.
A ．The problem statement is much more logical.
B ．Often it helps to add one or more key words to the sentence.
C ．Rephrasing your challenge is to change the problem statement.
D ．A great way to do this is by “reversing” your problem statement.
E ．For instance, imagine you are responsible for limiting the traffic jam in your area.
F ．Admittedly, it is a very unusual challenge, but it might just stimulate a creative thought.
G ．Not everyone will be able to move from an unreasonable statement to a useful solution.

The Habits of Recovering Procrastinators(拖延者)
We all procrastinate ( 拖延) occasionally. Procrastination can be defined as delaying a project, a task or an intended course of action, despite expecting to feel the guilt or shame of the delay. I have developed some habits that will allow you to live in the present, be much more productive and remove the procrastination that no longer
serves you.
Manage yourself in Time. Becoming a recovering procrastinator requires developing a much greater sense of
time — one hour, one day, one week, one month, one year. 41
You then gain a better understanding of how to manage your time effectively and make steady progress
towards your goals.
Set small goals. 42 They desire to have a half-a-million-dollar year in their first year as a business owner or to make a remarkable leap from a high-school actor to winning an Oscar. Instead, what typically happens
is that they fall apart emotionally. Those breakdowns lessen the emotional energy necessary to progress toward
their goals.
43 If you tend to procrastinate, keeping an organized list helps you develop much more focus. By actively committing your tasks to writing, you break free from the aimless spinning and equip yourself to overcome
procrastination.
Rank tasks by importance. Develop the habit of organizing your tasks based on their significance. 44
This way, you’ll prevent yourself from getting overwhelmed and ensure that essential work gets done.
Don’t be too hard on yourself. Overcoming procrastination is a journey filled with ups and downs. 45
Remember to be kind and patient with yourself along the way. You’ve got this, and I believe in you.
A ．Document your tasks and thoughts.
B ．It’s common for procrastinators to aim high.
C ．You can establish a daily or weekly timetable.
D ．Overcome procrastination with organized focus.
E ．Identify the most critical ones and tackle them first.
F ．This is breaking down tasks into manageable time frames.
G ．You’ll encounter roadblocks and experience moments of frustration.七选五

If you’re always comparing yourself to your peers, you might be low in confidence and unsure of yourself.
Here are some tips on how to stop comparing yourself to others.
Write down your positive traits. When you ignore your abilities, it becomes easier to compare yourself to others. You might focus on their strengths and ignore your own completely. 16 By being aware of your
best qualities, you can learn to love yourself and build up your self -confidence.
Keep a gratitude journal. A gratitude journal helps you recognize the things you may take for granted so you can fully appreciate them. To start journaling, reflect on the little things that bring you joy. 17 Explain
how they influence your life in detail. For example, if you jog in the park every day, you might express how you’re
grateful for your health and how jogging helps you overcome stress at work.
18 Instead of focusing on your “weaknesses”, reflect on the areas you can improve. Take advantage of all chances to improve your skills and techniques. Don’t be afraid to ask other people for help along the way.
Only by making efforts to improve your abilities can you make yourself happy.
Compete against yourself. 19 Instead, use comparison to become an improved version of yourself. Set goals for yourself and try to improve your own personal best. When you set a goal for yourself, track your
progress so that you can see how you are moving toward that goal. That way
Overcoming comparison is a continuous process, but it is possible! 20

If you want to be confident at interview and get the job, body language will be important.
Here are some useful tips for your body language during a job interview.
Make a great entrance. A job interview actually starts before you get to the interview room. You don't know who could be looking at you from a window or standing next to you in the elevator. Your body language should tell
others that you're confident and calm. 21 .
Don’t go for direct eye contact. 22 . A more effective way to make sure you look interested is to look
at different parts of an interviewer's face every two seconds such as their nose, eyes and lips.
Use hand gestures while you're speaking. If you’re not sure what to do with your hands, go ahead and gesture while you're speaking. When you're really nervous, you may want to hide your hand because they express your
anxiety. 23
Stay positive. Your body language follows your mind. If your mind is negative, your body will consciously create negative energy. However, stay positive and you feel confident in your body language. 24 . And
your smiles will be more likely to leave a good impression on the interviewers.
Work on your walk. Interviewers often make a hiring judgment within the first 10 seconds of meeting you. 25 . When walking directly toward the interviewer, you had better make your body point in his direction and
maintain eye contact with him occasionally.
A ．Instead, make “direct face contact” .
B ．How you walk into the room is a part of that judgment.
C ．At this time, it's a good choice for you to hide your hands.
D ．Instead, using your hands gesture can make you feel relaxed.
E ．If your have a positive mind, you will wear a smile on your face.
F ．It's very important to review your information you have prepared.
G ．It's improper to crazily search your file for your resume at this time.

New animals
In northern Vietnam, in thick forests in the North Annamite Mountains, there is a wildlife park called Vu Quang. In 1986, the area was made an official forest reserve. In 2002, 550 square kilometers of the area were declared a National Park. 26 . It is in an area that is hard to get to, for one thing. And it’s an area that’s
difficult to walk through because the rocks are covered with algae and are very slippery.
27 . In the last twenty years, several new species of animals that have never been seen anywhere in the world before have been discovered there. Some of them are so new that scientists haven’t given them official
names yet!
The new animals discovered at the park include the Vu Quang ox or Saola, a “slow” deer, a giant muntjac (the world’s largest, in fact), a black deer and a “holy” goat. 28 , as well as two species of amphibians and 15
species of reptiles.
The Saola was the first new species of large mammal to be discovered in more than fifty years, so it caused a lot of excitement in the scientific world. It is a strange goat-like creature that looks as if it is somehow related to
cattle. It has horns that can be between one and two feet long, and that seem to come out of the animal’s head at
slightly different angles. 29 .
The creature had hidden safely for generations in the Vu Quang area. But once it was discovered, it was in
danger. 30 . Sadly, the Saola is now being hunted and may well end up as another endangered species.
A ．That’s why it attracts hunters
B ．Vu Quang is no ordinary park, though
C ．Hunters have no respect for new species
D ．But that’s not all that is unusual about Vu Quang
E ．Five new species of fish have also been found there
F ．This was the first time so many new species had been found in this area
G ．That’s why it is called “Saola”, meaning “spinning wheel posts” in Vietnamese

During job or school interviews, you’re likely to be asked what your strengths and weaknesses are, because the interviewers are interested in how your areas of strengths and weaknesses might affect your performance in this position. 31 For instance, you may be skilled in cooking, but if you’re applying for an office job, this
strength may be irrelevant.
However, knowing your personal areas of strengths and weaknesses is not a piece of cake. It takes
self-awareness and self-reflection. So ask yourself what you are good or weak at. 32
33 For example, let’s say my strength is creativity and yours is planning; we both want to have the same career. We might go about getting there in very different ways. If I did something creative to get my dream job and you planned carefully, we’d both likely be successful. But if I tried planning and you tried something
creative, both of us might fail. 34
Having a weakness doesn’t have to be a bad thing. It could be something you struggle with, but it could also be something you haven’t spent time developing yet. 35 For example, maybe your area of weakness is relevant to gratitude. You just haven’t spent a lot of time thinking about gratitude before. But now you engage in a
bunch of activities that help you turn gratitude into an area of strength. Hey, now you’ve got one more skill!
A ．Is it proper to begin with a truthful answer
B ．Our areas of strengths can help us achieve our goals.
C ．Or,ask your friends about your qualities or weaknesses.
D ．Thus, it’s helpful to know your strengths related to the role.
E ．Many job applicants are unsure how to approach this question.
F ．By turning a weakness into a strength, you build other important skills.
G ．That’s why it is important to know and use our strengths to reach goals.

Reversal—change your perspective and solve your problem
It’s often your definition of a problem that limits you in finding a suitable solution. Creative solutions require
a change of perspective. 36
The reversal technique is a creative thinking technique that is based on the thought that to change your
perspective, you sometimes need to change the order of the words in your problem definition.
How you change the order of the words doesn’t matter much, as long as the key words are reversed. 37 Your challenge is “How do we make sure that fewer people take cars to their work ”. Swapping ( 交换) the key
words, you could rephrase this challenge as “How do we make sure that fewer cars take people to their work ” .
Not every problem statement is suitable for a reversal. Sometimes using this technique requires you to first rephrase the question altogether. 38 For instance, the question “How might we sell more washing machines ” is not easily reversed—there is no key word to swap with “washing machines”. Yet, when you rephrase the question to “How might we sell more washing machines to young parents ”, you can easily change it to “How might we sell more young parents to washing machines ” . 39 You could interpret this last sentence as “the washing machine pays the young parents to try it out” 。Then, you could start communicating to potential
buyers how much they will save each year when they choose your energy-efficient washing machine.
As this example shows, some reversals will require a very flexible way of thinking. 40 However, thinking about the tiny amount of time it will “cost” you to try out a reversal, you have very little to lose and,
potentially, lots to gain.
A ．The problem statement is much more logical.
B ．Often it helps to add one or more key words to the sentence.
C ．Rephrasing your challenge is to change the problem statement.
D ．A great way to do this is by “reversing” your problem statement.
E ．For instance, imagine you are responsible for limiting the traffic jam in your area.
F ．Admittedly, it is a very unusual challenge, but it might just stimulate a creative thought.
G ．Not everyone will be able to move from an unreasonable statement to a useful solution.

The Habits of Recovering Procrastinators(拖延者)
We all procrastinate ( 拖延) occasionally. Procrastination can be defined as delaying a project, a task or an intended course of action, despite expecting to feel the guilt or shame of the delay. I have developed some habits that will allow you to live in the present, be much more productive and remove the procrastination that no longer
serves you.
Manage yourself in Time. Becoming a recovering procrastinator requires developing a much greater sense of
time — one hour, one day, one week, one month, one year. 41
You then gain a better understanding of how to manage your time effectively and make steady progress
towards your goals.
Set small goals. 42 They desire to have a half-a-million-dollar year in their first year as a business owner or to make a remarkable leap from a high-school actor to winning an Oscar. Instead, what typically happens is that they fall apart emotionally. Those breakdowns lessen the emotional energy necessary to progress toward
their goals.
43 If you tend to procrastinate, keeping an organized list helps you develop much more focus. By
actively committing your tasks to writing, you break free from the aimless spinning and equip yourself to overcome
procrastination.
Rank tasks by importance. Develop the habit of organizing your tasks based on their significance. 44
This way, you’ll prevent yourself from getting overwhelmed and ensure that essential work gets done.
Don’t be too hard on yourself. Overcoming procrastination is a journey filled with ups and downs. 45
Remember to be kind and patient with yourself along the way. You’ve got this, and I believe in you.
A ．Document your tasks and thoughts.
B ．It’s common for procrastinators to aim high.
C ．You can establish a daily or weekly timetable.
D ．Overcome procrastination with organized focus.
E ．Identify the most critical ones and tackle them first.
F ．This is breaking down tasks into manageable time frames.
G ．You’ll encounter roadblocks and experience moments of frustration.
