At a recent job fair ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) in northeast China’s Liaoning Province, some employers offered great welfare packages, including insurance, holiday presents and paid vacations. These companies were rushed by many job seekers who believe that working in such places would make them feel like home．
An article from The W ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orkers’ Daily says if a company fails to provide its employees with a sense of belonging, it will not be able to keep them with a satisfactory salary alone．
The article says the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )job fair serves as a good example. An employer must keep in mind that providing its employees with good conditions has become vital in maintaining the company’s competitive edge．
Nowadays, man ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y companies try every possible means to reduce the cost of labour, ignoring or even trampling on employees’ rights and interests. The fact is that some companies are unable to find new workers even with increased payment．
A unique company cu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lture with human-oriented management is the key to successfully keeping good employees. The article concludes that in a society where individual development is more important than ever, providing a sense of belonging for employees should be the most important thing of a company.

Divide and control“T ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )his is a two-day course with a 40-question test at the end,” the teacher said．
It had been a busy ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) week. I wanted to spend the weekend alone. I wanted to relax and make a good meal for myself and prepare for the next week. But I had to take this course I was attending once every two years and without pay. Why not just review？ And I discovered there was a practical aspect to the test as well. I wasn’t up to it．
But life had taught ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) me many things and at forty-four, I was finally learning how to handle pressure. I immediately got out my pens, several colors of them. I began to write down everything the teacher was saying. Secondly I asked questions. Teachers rarely had anything structured when they were giving lectures. I created the structure myself with question after question. Thirdly I talked at break to the other students—about the material. I forgot about the weather or the latest movie. I began to ask questions, and the other students responded. Now we were all learning and that felt even better．
I have been tol ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d that it takes a person about seventeen occurrences to learn a word in another language. Repetition is very important in learning. In writing my own notes, in asking questions about the teacher’s lectures and in asking questions of my fellow students, I had already reviewed the material three times. That evening I wound make up and take a rest for myself. That would be two more times．
That weekend was ov ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er. I passed the tests, both written and practical. But I also passed another test, the test of stress. I’ve never handled stress well, but I am learning to take things one step at a time, to break things down and make them smaller and manageable．
More and more aspects ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of my life are being handled this way. If a payment is too much, divide it into parts. If a course of study is too long, divide it into days. If an art project is too big, divide it into modules of some kind．

The number of peopl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e in the world reached six thousand five hundred million in 2005. According to a UN report, by the middle of the century, the population could reach more than nine thousand million. That would be an increase of forty percent．
Hania Zlotnik is di ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rector of the UN Population Division. She says the world has added nearly five hundred million people in the last six years．
The UN report says m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ost population growth by 2050 will take place in developing countries. Their population is expected to increase from five thousand million today to almost eight thousand million.

The report says nine c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ountries will be responsible for about half the world population increase by 2050. Twelve countries are expected to have populations at least three times as large as now．
The report says birth rates remain low in 44 developed countries．
Today, there is an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) average of two point six children per woman in the world. This number is expected to fall to just over two children per woman in 2050, but UN population experts note that they cannot be sure which way birth rates will go in the future．
The UN report also ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )notes that AIDS has increased death rates and slowed population growth in sixty countries. The area most affected by the disease is Southern Africa.
In Southern Africa t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he life span has fallen from an average of 62 years in 1995 to 48 now. Researchers believe the life span will fall to 43 years by 2015, and then begin a slow recovery.

There are two basic w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ays 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 rise, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language—all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts．
By contrast(对照), the p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rocess of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since 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 t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ravel 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, we tend to take more chances and 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 we think we are slow to adapt(适应) 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 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of insecurity(不安全) 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．

A listener has wr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )itten from China for advice about how to lose weight. Michael in Shanghai says he is 26 and has battled obesity for most of his life．
Obesity, a sever ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e weight problem, is a complex condition. A doctor may advise taking medicine along with changing one’s behaviors. Experts say that the most successful weight?loss plans include a well-balanced diet and exercise．
People who want to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )avoid weight gain have to balance the number of calories they eat with the number of calories they use. To lose weight, you can reduce the number of calories you take in, increase the number you use, or both．
A recent study lo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oked at four of the most popular dieting plans in the US. Researchers at Stanford University in California studied over 300 overweight women, mostly in their thirties and forties. Each woman went on one of the four plans: Atkins, The Zone, Ornish or LEARN. The women attended diet classes and received written information about the food plans．
At the end of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )year, the women on the Atkins diet had lost the most, more than four and one-half kilograms on average. They also did better on tests for cholesterol levels and blood pressure．
Christopher Gardner ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), who led the study, says the Atkins diet may be more successful because of its simple message to eat less sugar. He also says that the advice to increase protein in the diet leads to more satisfying meals. He says that there was not enough money to study men, but that men would probably have similar results．
Last week, a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nother report based on thirty-one studies suggested that only a small minority of people have long-term success with dieting. Most dieters regained their lost weight within five years and often they become more overweight. But those who kept the weight off generally were the ones who exercised．

Traditionally, cu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )stomers may consider more about what they buy the product for. However, the image of product and the consuming circumstance have become the key points to attract customer awareness and stimulate their buying needs. Frequently, customers buy goods just because they are cute, lovely and unique. With a less emphasis on functional utilities, the experience and imaginative space are placed into an increasingly important role. The image of product is emphasized, as well as the communication between products and consumers. “Customer behavior, which appears to be focused and directed at the object and at pleasure, in fact responds to quite different objectives: displaced expression of desire, and the production of a code of social values through the use of differential signs”(Baudrillard).The reason for image-oriented customer behavior is probably that customers’ lifestyle has been continuously virtualized by paying much attention to “Virtual Reality”. The evidences can be traced from computer games and Hollywood movies, in which customers’ preference for fleeing reality is perfectly matched.
This change r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )equires us to take efforts to enhance product image by integrating style, color, taste, shape and material, and communicate with customers creatively, imaginatively and innovatively, and enable them to enjoy the distinctive experience image brings. “A need is not a need for a particular object as much as it is a ‘need’ for difference”(Baudrillard). The typical example is Apple Computer’s IMAC, which has strong visual impact and outstanding dynamics. By this way, customer relationship can be set up through image, and brand can be treated as living that can transform people. Other examples commonly used are Disney Fairyland and Las Vegas, where new experience and imagination are fully demonstrated. In sum, consumption is negotiation, a never-ending conversation held in the languages of advertising, packaging, branding, fashion, and entertainment.

Many animal and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) plant species have become extinct and many more are in critical danger.
Dodo
The Dodo is a cla ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ssic example of how humans caused damage to the earth?s biology. The flightless Dodo was native to the Island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. The easily controlled bird became a source of food for sailors and was attacked by animals introduced to the island by humans such as pigs, monkeys and rats. The population of Dodos rapidly decreased and last one was killed in 1681.
Rhinos (犀牛)
The Rhino horn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is a highly prized item for Asian medicine. This has led to the animal being hunted in its natural habitat. Once widespread in Africa and Eurasia, most rhinos now live in protected natural parks and reserves. Their numbers have rapidly decreased in the last 50 years, and the animals remain under constant threat from poachers（偷猎者）.
The Giant Panda
The future of the gian ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t panda is far from certain. As few as 1,000 remain in the wild. The Chinese government has set up 33 panda reserves to protect these beautiful animals. However, the panda’s distinct black and white patched coat fetches a high price on the black market and determined poachers still pose（造成）one of the most serious threats to the animals continued existence.
Whales
Despite the fact that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) one-third of the world’s oceans have been declared whale reserves, 7 out of 13 whale species remain endangered. Hunted for their rich supply of oil, their numbers have decreased to just 300. Collisions with ships, poisonous pollution and being caught in fishing nets are other major causes of whale deaths.
Tigers
The last 100 years has ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) seen a 95% reduction in the numbers of remaining tigers to between 5,000 and 7,000 and the Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers are already extinct. The South China tiger is precariously close to disappearing, with only 20 to 30 still alive. Like the Rhino horn, tigers? bones and organs are sought after for traditional Chinese medicines. These items are traded illegally along with tiger skins.

A 10-year-old boy ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) decided to learn judo(柔道)despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a car accident.
The boy began ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lessons with an old Japanese judo teacher. The boy was doing well， so he couldn’t understand why，after three months of training，the master had taught him only one move.
“Master，”the boy finally said，“shouldn’t I be learning more moves ”
“This is the onl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y move you know，but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know，” the teacher replied.
Not quite understa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nding，but believing in his teacher，the boy kept training.
Several months lat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er，the teacher took the boy to his first tournament.
Surprising himsel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f，the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult，but after some time，his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy skillfully used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success，the boy was now in the final.
This time， his opp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )onent was bigger， stronger， and more experienced. For a while， the boy appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt， the judge called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the teacher appeared.
“No，” the teacher insisted， “Let him continue. ”
Soon after the ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tch continued， his opponent made a mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly， the boy used his move to pin him. The boy won the match and the tournament. He was the champion.
On the way h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ome，the boy and teacher reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy got up the courage to ask what was really on his mind.
“Teacher，how did I win the tournament with only one move ”
The teacher a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nswered, “First，you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second，the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.”

Some people beli ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eve that greed（贪婪） and selfishness has become the basis of modern society, and we should return to the old traditions of family and community then we will have a better life. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion
In this fast ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )-paced world, many people’s beliefs about what is right or wrong are undergoing major changes. While people traditionally prioritize(把……区分优先次序) caring, sharing and generosity（慷慨） in life and work, modern people seem to be more self-absorbed and self?concerned.
Modern people act se ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lfishly to survive the harsh competition of life. They say that it is a jungle out there. To survive, you have to fight with whatever means that come handy. Obviously greedy and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas. In a company, employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even at the cost of colleagues. We are in any way advocating any selfish conduct. It is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences.
In spite of comm ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on practice, it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness, both of which are not newly invented vocabulary. In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned then. But we can not ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with their modern counterparts(副本；相似物).
Are we happier t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o share with others and be generous to them There is no fixed answer either. Some people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite. But I personally think that people should not be too selfish. Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a mutually beneficial relationship.
In conclusio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n, modern people appear to be more self-centered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure. However, we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others.

There is an English ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) saying, “Laughter is the best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health.
Tests were carried o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ut to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.
Other tests ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.
As a result ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.

At least 4,00 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )0 years ago, the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians marked the changing of the year. In Egypt, the year started when the Nile River flooded, enriching farmers’ fields. This happened at the end of September.

January 1 was pi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cked by the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar as the change of the year when he established his own calendar in 46 BC. The month of January originates from the Roman god, Janus. He is pictured with two heads. One head looks forward and the other back. They represent a break between the old and new. The new calendar was in time with the sun and it has been used until the present day.
In Vietnam, t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he New Year holiday happens in February. They buy fresh flowers and a peach blossom to put in their house, obeying the Vietnamese custom.
Thailand has its s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pecific New Year holiday; it’s different from the normal calendar. The Thai New Year is celebrated on April 13. On this day, Thai people play with water, throwing it on each other. It is intended to bring good luck during the New Year ahead.

People often talk a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s if shyness is a disease or mental condition that can be cured. I prefer to think of it as an emotional disability. It’s something we are born with and something we carry with us in our entire lives. There are too many people, however, who seem to be determined to find some way of doing away with their shyness. In my opinion, it’s a waste of time. I don’t mean that we should do nothing about it; quite the contrary, I think we need to separate the basic fact of our shyness from our ability to take part in a social environment.
Look at one ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of the most famous shy people of them all, Johnny Carson. This man is painfully shy, yet for decades he made a living talking and associating(交往) with different people every night, in front of a national audience. Carson has never done away with his shyness, but he has successfully found a way to deal with it to the extent that he could be, not just a talk show host, but a legend(传奇) among talk show hosts. Look also at Sally Fields, who has recently admitted her problem with shyness. This is a woman who has appeared in many films, TV shows and interviews, yet in her early years she was so shy that she turned down a lunch invitation from Jane Fonda because she was terribly afraid of meeting her.
I guess that our sh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )yness is there because each of us is born with some insecurity(不安全感)and this insecurity prevents us from reaching out to others the way people with a more open personality do. As we grow up and become adults, we allow our social skills to grow and develop. But we are still stuck in kindergarten or elementary school or wherever it was when our shyness took root in our soul.

We are going to descri ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )be one way to build a rooftop garden that does not even require soil. Four things are needed for a small rooftop garden. One thing is a roof that can support the weight. Another is grass cuttings. The third thing is a sheet of plastic on which to spread the cut grass and prevent possible leaks(渗漏). And the last thing is a box about eight centimeters deep and made out of four pieces of wood.
Once you are sure the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) roof is strong, cut and collect some grass. Then lay down the plastic where the garden box will go. The four-sided box can be as long and as wide as needed. Place the box on the top of the sheet of plastic. Then fill it with the cut grass. Next, add water and walk on the cuttings to press them down.
After about three wee ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ks, the rooftop garden is ready for planting. Put the seeds directly into the wet grass cuttings. This garden is a good place to grow peas, tomatoes, beans, onions and lettuce. If the box is deep enough, potatoes and carrots will also grow.
It is important to ke ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ep the grass wet until the plants begin to grow. When the plants are growing, they will need watering properly every day, unless there is rain. And they will need some liquid fertilizer(肥料). Also, seeds and new plants must be protected from insects and birds.Rooftop gardens are increasingly popular, and not just to grow vegetables. They keep buildings cooler in the sun, so they save energy. They can also extend the useful life of a roof. Rooftop gardens also reduce the run off of storm water and help clean the air.

If people work to mee ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t their needs, it would be good to know what these needs are. They are very simple. Dr. Maslow has suggested that people have only five needs. Every one has them, and everyone spends his or her life trying to satisfy them. Although we may try to satisfy our needs in different ways, we all are trying to satisfy the same needs. In a way, it is these needs, which are common to all people, that make us human. They seem to be a basic part of human nature.
The needs, which oc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cur in the order shown below, can briefly be described as follows:
1. The Physiologi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cal Needs—Our needs for the things that keep our bodies alive—food, water, rest, air, elimination, etc. These needs come first. We must meet them or we will die.
2. The Safety Needs— ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )First we need to stay alive, and then we need to be safe. There are two kinds of safety needs: the need to be physically safe and to be psychologically safe or secure.
3. The Belong ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ingness Needs—Once we are alive and safe, we then try to satisfy our social need, a need to be with and accepted by other people. We discover our need for love.
4. The Esteem N ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eeds—After our first three needs are fairly well met, we try to satisfy a fourth need. This is a need for recognition, respect, reputation. The need has two parts: self?esteem (thinking well of ourselves) and the esteem of others.
5. The self- ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )actualization Needs—The highest need of man is to actualize himself, to achieve his full potential, to become all that he might be. This need is one that no one ever satisfies completely, partly because we are too busy trying to satisfy our lower needs.
If Dr. Maslow is corre ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ct, those are the things we are after. Our work, rest, play—whatever we do-is done in an effort to meet one or more of those needs.
