Starting a new job sho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uld be exciting, but when Debbie Baute began a role at a company in 2007, it was more than she bargained for. After just four months in strategic (战略)human resources at Procter & Gamble in Brussels, where Baute oversaw a department of 65 people, the company decided to move the department to Geneva, forcing staff to choose between moving and potentially losing their jobs.
The following are Baute’s ways of accepting responsibility:
* Admit the problem
* Own the error without shifting blame
* Determine to fix it
* Find ways to keep the problem from reoccurring
* Make sure t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hose new ways, once established, are respected and maintained
* Use what y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ou learned to help others in the organization or in the industry
Baute, now 36, beca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )me the go-to person to answer questions and calm the nerves of astonished staff. The news, she said, had come as a blow, particularly as the manager responsible for making the decision flew into town, announced the department’s move, and then rapidly caught a plane back to his own office.
“I find it hard to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )face angry people,” she said. “I can feel what they are going through, but at the same time I feel it is my duty to be there. That sense of duty is stronger,” Baute said. Just two of her team made the move to Switzerland, but Baute accepted her responsibility and won respect.
These days, Baute ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) works as a chief manager successfully. Looking back, she said, “When you don’t have all the answers to the questions, taking responsibility means being there and facing up to that …that makes a big difference in how people feel.”
Experts say it’s cow ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ardly (怯懦的)act to avoid responsibility and blame others for unfavourable (不利的)circumstances. 5. What do we learn about Debbie Baute’s job in 2007
A. It was exciting. B. It was satisfactory.
C. It was well-paid. D. It was challenging.

C. introduced D. visited

A. is brave and determined
B. is strict and powerful
C. is good at communicating
D. has more wisdom and knowledge
8. What’s Baute’s duty when feeing the department’s move
A. Announcing the news to staff.
B. Helping the manager fly into town.
C. Answering questions and calming staff.
D. Avoiding facing the angry staff.
C
A homeless man will ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) have his Christmas wish come true when he sits down for dinner with his family for the first time in 12 years after being reunited with them through Facebook.
George Cunningh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )am told Lee, a photographer, that his main concern over the holidays would simply be finding somewhere he could sit down and have a Christmas dinner. “I’m homeless and travelling around to any town that has shelter for the homeless people so that I can get a bed for the night. If I had to sleep out in this cold weather, I’d be dead already,” he gaid. Lee told Sky News that he thought the man ’ s simple Christmas wish was pretty amazing.
When George’s photo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )graph was put on the Facebook page, which posts images of ordinary Irish men and women, the response was surprising with dozens of people offering to pay for his meal or even host him themselves.
One day, Lee was cont ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )acted (联系)by George’s sister, who had not communicated with her brother for 12 years. She wanted to invite George home for the holidays, but Lee had no way to contact George in Kinsale, a small fishing port in County Cork. “I have to ring around the town and get someone to find him,” he told Sky news. Finally someone found him and he rang him up.
This year, Geo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rge will go home -to spend Christmas with his family. But the offers of help haven’t ended there. A hotel administrator near his family home said George could spend a night there if he wanted and a clothes store also offered him a new suit for the big reunion.
George said it was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )all hard to believe that after his photo was put on the Internet, he suddenly started getting offers of meals and stuff.

We can express thou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ghts and feelings, and send sounds and pictures on our smart phones today. We can’t send tastes, smells or touch, of course. But scientists in Britain are trying to develop a way for smart phones to do just that.
David Cheoka, a prof ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )essor at City University in London, wants people to experience communication using all of their senses.
To give users a sense ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of taste, researchers designed two electrodes (电极)that are placed on the tongue. When users put their tongues in between, a chemical process can create different tastes through molecules (分子)on the surface of the tongue and this chemical process sends electrical signals to make users get a taste, convincing the brain that a person is tasting something. They have already created sour, salty, sweet and bitter tastes.
A device called “S ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )centee” permits users to have the sense of smell. Scentee plugs into a smart phone and can spray tiny clouds of fragrances (芳香),including flowers, fruits and coffee,etc. With the help of an app, the device, when connected to your mobile phone, will send out a scent. Scentee holds a container with about 100 different smells. The container must be replaced when all the scents run out.
The sense of touch ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )comes from a ring-like device. It is connected wirelessly to the smart phone. The device sends a soft and electrical press when a person on the other end of a telephone conversation does the same.
Professor Cheoka say ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s he hopes devices like these will someday be added to houses, which may change the future of long-distance communication.
13. What’s the purpose of the two electrodes
A. To create and send a user’s taste.
B. To test the sense of a user’s tongue.
C. To convince the reaction of a user’s brain.
D. To tell the differences among sour, salty, sweet and bitter.
14. From Paragraph 4, it can be concluded that________.
A. Scentee must have a large container of smells
B. the app used for smelling has been widely used now
C. Scentee can spray smells through wireless connection
D. Scentee works ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )when connected with a mobile phone with a special app
15. What does the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )underlined word “scent” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Cloud.
B. App.
C. Smell.
D. Container.

Recently I’ve ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )become interested in some attractive camps advertised on a website and I have made up my mind to take part in one of them — Volunteering in Another Country.

Besides, volunteering in another country will give me a good chance to experience a completely different culture. Most importantly, I can exchange ideas with the local people and make them know more about China.
So I’m e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ager to join in the activity and I’m sure I will benefit greatly from it. How about your plan for this summer holiday
Yours,
