　　Art for Establishing Human Networking

　　I knew, no computer or technology ever got any of us a raise, landed us that dream job, found us that mentor (良师) who cared deeply about us and our careers or put that special joy in our lives that can only come from relationships with others.

　　All these great things are made possible by a completely different type to networking: human networking. And not the kind that has given “networking” a bad name --- that superficial, insincere, manipulative stuff that we all can smell a mile away. No, I’m talking about the true art of networking, based on respectful and caring relationships that promote mutual success.

　　Relationships：Let me start with one of the most fundamental aspects of human relationships. For each and every thing you want to achieve in life---whether it’s landing a job, earning a raise or promotion or finding that lifelong romance---there will be at least one person on the other end deciding whether or give you or help you get what you want. Everything we do can only be accomplished through and with other people. Simply put, of any kind, requires relationships. Just think of the words of Margaret Wheatley: Relationships are all there is. Everything in the universe only exists because it is in relationship to everything else. Nothing exists in isolation. We have to stop pretending we are individuals that go it alone. If this is the way the universe works, you can see why human relationships and human networks are so important.

　　The most common mistake people make when building relationships for their career success is treating business contacts differently than personal friends. Aren’t they always forgiving when you slip up and more helpful when you’re in need? Of course! I guarantee your work will become easier and more joyful if you make more of your business relationships personal.

　　How to do it? The same way you make genuine friends. Build trust through intimacy; show them that besides being professional, you’re also human. Skip the small talk and go deep into what really matters---your dreams or fears, your children or the business issues that keep you up at night. And don’t think for a moment that they’ll think less of you. In fact, usually the opposite happens.

　　When I tell people about my humble beginnings---I grew up a country boy in rural, southwestern Pennsylvania, the son of an often-unemployed steelworker and a cleaning lady---and how it took me so long to overcome my insecurities of being poor and being picked on by kids from ore well-to-do families, people don’t think less of me. They immediately empathize (感同身受)and feel more endeared to me than ever before. All you have to do is let your guard down and show enough vulnerability to make others comfortable with opening up to you.

　　Also, don’t stop with treating business friends like you treat personal friends. Mix them, too. Invite business contacts to your home and introduce them to your family. Invite a client out to dinner along with an old pal from school and your significant other or a date. Don’t compartmentalize you personal, professional and community lives. Blur the boundaries! You’ll have more fun and do more for all three parts of your life in less time.

　　Planning：The more specific you are about what you want to do, the easier it becomes to develop a strategy to accomplish it. Part of that strategy, of course, will be establishing relationships with the people in your universe who can help you get where you’re going. So, first, do some deep introspection(自省)to find your Blue Flame, the thing in life that really lights your fire. Write, pray, whatever you need to do clear you head and figure this stuff out. I enjoy great results from Vipassana meditation.

　　Once you’ve found your Blue Flame, it’s time to have a RAP, or a Relationship Action Plan. Here’s a simple way to get started. Write down your goals and the names and types of people who can help you achieve them. Then, note how you can reach those people and how you can contribute to their success, also. The more specific a plan you have and the more you put your goals out to others, the more everyone will aspire to help you achieve your dreams. On the other hand, if you don’t know what you want or you don’t tell anyone, no one can help you. They can’t read your mind.

　　I can’t tell you how many times a friend has called me and said, “Keith, I just became unemployed. I need to start networking; will you teach me how? My answer: “No. No.No. You need to start job-hunting! You should have been building relationships for the past 5 or 10 years, so now that you need a job, you could make 20 calls and have 5 job offers waiting for you in a week.”

　　Presentation：When I give talks to college and graduate students, they always ask me, “what are the secrets to success? What are the unspoken rules for making it big? Preferably, they’d like my response wrapped up in tight package and tied with a neat little bow. Why not? I wanted the same thing at their age.

　　“So you want the inside scoop,” I respond. “Fair enough. I’ll sum up the key to success in one word: Generosity. “The kids are shocked because they think I’m going to give them “networking” advice. And when they think of “networking,” they think of a guy holding a martini with one hand and scattering business cards with the other. He’s hell-bent on doing anything it takes to “get to the top,” including climbing on the backs of others.

　　The era of that Networking Jerk is over. I learned that the hard way. Once, a mentor of mine said to me, “ Stop driving yourself---and everyone else---crazy thinking bout how to make yourself successful. Start thinking about how you’re going to make everyone around you successful.”

　　Please, learn from my mistakes and the mistakes of many others. Don’t be a networking jerk. Remember that the key to success is generosity. Give your talents, give your contacts and give your hard work to make others successful without ever keeping score.

　　While I would say that your relationships are the most critical piece of your personal brand, before, you can develop those relationships you’ve got to know something and have something to say. Just having a brain and an MBA won’t get you anywhere. If you want to become more valuable in the marketplace or more intriguing to the world at large, you must develop some deep expertise in your mind and root some higher-order passion in your heart.

　　Think of the world’s real movers and shakers; they are such because they are about something. Richard Branson—executing the remarkable. The late Princess Diana---helping the unfortunate. They are and were interesting. You can be, too.

　　Strength in Numbers：This rule is obviously one no one can follow 100 percent. It’s just a great way to remember to share your passions---to invite others into the activities you are already enjoy doing. I really love sharing delicious food, good wine and great company. I also bring friends to workouts or to church. You might have similar passions, or you might enjoy doing community service, gardening or watching movies.

　　If you’ll just remember to share your passions, building and deepening relationships will take no extra time than you already devote to your favorite activities, and people will see you in your best light.

　　Just as people lose weight more effectively if they have a workout partner, your ongoing efforts to build relationships will be more successful if you team up. You and your buddy can provide each other support, guidance and motivation. And you’ll always be prepared to try one of my favorite tactics—trading networks. Throw a dinner party together, and you’ll each be responsible for only half the guest list, half the cost and half the effort. But you’ll expand your circle of friends to twice the size, and I guarantee it will be twice the fun!

　　Part Ⅳ Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes)

　　Passage One

　　Did you know that all human beings have a "comfort zone" regulating the distances they stand from someone when they talk? This distance varies in interesting ways among people of different cultures.

　　Greeks, others of the Eastern Mediterranean, and many of those from South America normally stand quite close together when they talk, often moving their faces even closer as they warm up in a conversation. North Americans find this awkward and often back away a few inches. Studies have found that they tend to feel most comfortable at about 21 inches apart. In much of Asia and Africa, there is even more space between two speakers in conversation. This greater space subtly lends an air of dignity and respect. This matter of space is nearly always unconscious, but it is interesting to observe.

　　This difference applies also to the closeness with which people sit together, the extent to which they lean over one another in conversation, how they move as they argue or make an emphatic point. In the United States, for example, people try to keep their bodies apart even in a crowded elevator; in Pads they take it as it comes!

　　Although North Americans have a relatively wide "comfort zone" for talking, they communicate a great deal with their hands — not only with gesture but also with touch. They put a sympathetic hand on a person's shoulder to demonstrate warmth of feeling or an arm around him in sympathy; they nudge a man in the ribs to emphasize a funny story; they pat an arm in reassurance or stroke a childhood in affection; they readily take someone's arm to help him across a street or direct him along an unfamiliar route. To many people — especially those from Asia or the Moslem countries — such bodily contact is unwelcome, especially if inadvertently (无心地) done with the left hand. (The left hand carries no special significance in the U.S. Many Americans are simply left handed and use that hand more.)

　　47. In terms of bodily distance, North Americans feel ill at ease when __________________________________________ .

　　48. For Asians, the comfortable zone would do something to show _____________________________________________ .

　　49. It can be inferred from the passage that in a crowded elevator, a Frenchman could make no particular effort to ____________________________________ .

　　50. When Americans tell a joke, they often _________________________________________________________________.

　　51. To be specific, what does the passage mainly discuss about? ________________________________________________

　　Passage Two

　　The Food and Drag Administration said on Wednesday that it is trying to track down as many as 386 piglets that may have been genetically engineered and wrongfully sold into the U.S. food supply.

　　The focus of the FDA investigation is on pigs raised by researchers at the University of Illinois in Urbana Champaign. They engineered the animals with two genes: one is a cow gene that increases milk production in the sow; the other, a synthetic gene, makes the milk easier for piglets to digest. The goal was to raise bigger pigs faster.

　　There has been no evidence that either genetically altered plants or animals actually trigger human illness, but critics warn that potential side effects remain unknown. University officials say their tests showed the piglets were not born with the altered genes, but FDA roles require even the offspring of genetically engineered animals to be destroyed so they won't get into the food supply.

　　The FDA, in a quickly arranged news conference on Wednesday prompted by inquiries by USA TODAY, said the University of Illinois would face possible sanctions and fines for selling the piglets to a livestock broker, who in turn sold them to processing plants.

　　Both the FDA and the university say the pigs that entered the market do not pose a risk to consumers. But the investigation follows action by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in December to fine a Texas company that contaminated 500,000 bushels of soybeans with corn that had been genetically altered to produce a vaccine for pigs.

　　Critics see such cases as evidence of the need for more government oversight of a burgeoning (新兴的) area of scientific research. "This is a small incident, but it's incidents like this that could destroy consumer confidence and export confidence," says Stephanie Childs of the Grocery Manufacturers of America. "We already have Europe shaky on biotech. The countries to which we export are going to look at this."

　　The University of Illinois says it tested the DNA of every piglet eight times to make sure that the animal hadn't inherited the genetic engineering of its mother. Those piglets that did were put back into the study. Those that didn't were sold to the pig broker. "Any pig that was tested negative for the genes since 1999 has been sent off to market," says Charles Zukoski, vice chancellor for research.

　　But FDA deputy commissioner Lester Crawford says that under the terms of the university's agreement with the FDA, theresearchers were forbidden to remove the piglets without FDA approval. "The University of Illinois failed to check with FDA to see whether or not the animals could be sold on the open market. And they were not to be used under any circumstance for food."

　　The FDA is responsible for regulating and overseeing transgenic animals because such genetic manipulation is considered an unapproved animal drug.

　　52. The 386 piglets wrongfully sold into food supply are from ______.

　　[A] Europe [B] an American research organization

　　[C] a meat processing plant [D] an animal farm

　　53. The purpose of the transgenic engineering research is to ______

　　[A] get pigs of larger size in a shorter time

　　[C] make cows produce more milk

　　[D] make pigs grow more lean meat

　　54. The 4th paragraph shows that the University of Illinois ______.

　　[A] was criticized by the FDA

　　[B] is in great trouble

　　[C] is required by the FDA to call back the sold piglets

　　[D] may have to pay the penalty

　　55. The FDA declares that the wrongfully sold piglets ______.

　　[A]may have side effects on consumers

　　[B]may be harmful to consumers

　　[C]are safe to consumers

　　[D]may cause human illness

　　56. It can be inferred from this passage that ______.

　　[A] all the offspring have their mothers' genetic engineering

　　[B] part of the offspring have their mothers' genetic engineering

　　[C]none of the offspring have their mothers' genetic engineering

　　[D]half of the offspring have their mothers' genetic engineering

　　Passage Three

　　A class action lawsuit has been filed against a prominent Toronto doctor by patients who allege he injected a banned substance into their faces for cosmetic purposes. The doctor had already been investigated for more than three years for using the liquid silicone, a product not authorized for use in Canada.

　　Some patients say they are now suffering health problems and think the liquid silicone may be to blame. One of those patients is Anna Barbiero. She says her Toronto dermatologist told her he was using liquid silicone to smooth out wrinkles. What she says he didn't tell her is that it isn't approved for use in Canada. "I didn't know what liquid silicone was and he just called it 'liquid gold'," Barbiero remembers. After her last treatment, Anna discovered Dr. Sheldon Pollack had been ordered to stop using the silicone two years earlier by Health Canada. Experts say silicone can migrate through the body, and cause inflammation and deformities.

　　"My upper lip is always numb and it bums." Barbiero says. Barbiero is spearheading (带头) a lawsuit against the doctor, who her lawyer thinks might involve up to 100 patients injected with the same material. "The fact, a physician of his stature would use an unauthorized product on a patient because he thought it was okay, is really very disturbing." says lawyer Douglas Elliott.

　　Ontario's College of Physicians and Surgeons is also investigating Dr. Pollack to see if, in fact, he continued to use the silicone after agreeing to stop and whether he wrote in patient records that he used another legal product when he used silicone. However, in a letter to the College, Dr. Pollack wrote that he had always told patients that the silicone was not approved for sale in Canada, and had warned them of the risks. And in Barbiero's case, "...at the time of her first visit, prior to her ever receiving IGLS treatment, I specifically informed her that the material was not approved for sale in Canada by tile Health Protection Branch and that I did receive the material from outside the country...I would like to emphasize that, as is evident on Ms. Barbiero's chart, I drew a specific diagram on the chart which I carefully discussed with and explained to Ms. Barbiero as I did with every other patient to explain the nature and likelihood of complications and the reasons and consequences of those possible complications."

　　Dr. Pollack declined to speak to CTV News, or to have his lawyer discuss the case. None of the allegations have been proven in court. But the case raises questions about the ability of governing bodies to monitor doctors. "There's a larger message and that is: buyer beware," says Nancy Neilsen of Cosmetic Surgery Canada, "It's incumbent (负有义务的) on consumers to do their research."

　　57. Doctor Sheldon Pollack was charged that ______.

　　[A] he had prescribed wrong medicine for patients by mistake

　　[B] he had treated his patients with something illegal, causing bad result

　　[C] he had pretended to be a prominent surgeon

　　[D] he had sold an unauthorized product in large amount

　　58. What does the word "dermatologist" (Line 2, Para. 2) mean?

　　[A] A person whose work is filling, cleaning and taking out teeth.

　　[B] A person whose work is studying mental diseases.

　　[C] A person whose work is healing eye diseases.

　　[D] A person whose work is curing skin diseases.

　　59. The investigation of Ontario's College of Physicians and Surgeons is to find ______.

　　[A] whether he still has illegal treatment on his patients

　　[B] how many patients have been abused

　　[C] if he told his patients about the risk

　　[D] how much money he got from his illegal treatment

　　60. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　　[A] Barbiero took the treatment after being told the risk.

　　[B] Dr. Sheldon Pollack started his work with the patients' agreement to accept the potential risk.

　　[C] A famous doctor should be authorized to use something he thinks okay on patients.

　　[D] Barbiero is suffering a lot.

　　61. From the ending part of the passage, we can conclude that ______.

　　[A] Barbiero will win the lawsuit [B] Dr. Sheldon Pollack will win the lawsuit

　　[C] the cases have been dismissed [D] governing bodies to monitor doctor will be charged

　　Part Ⅴ Cloze (15 minutes)

　　Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D) on the right of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

　　The loudest outcry about poverty seemed to come in the wealthiest country by far in the world. According to most calculations, (62) most of that period the United States had a standard of living well (63) Europe's and many times above the world (64) . Yet protests about grinding poverty, hunger, and dreadful need (65) more from the United States than from countries with one-fortieth of their living (66) . An annual per capita income of about 500 dollars is (67) of much of Africa and Asia and not a little of South America. It would seem strange to these people that American radicals demand a (68) from an American commitment to the far comers of the globe so that the money thus saved can be spent (69) the standard of living of (70) Americans. What this last point suggests is not so much that human (71) are never to be satisfied though this is doubtlessly true, and the American suburbanite (郊区居民 (72) of his second car and his color TV suffers just as (73) as an African farmer in need of a second cow and a screen door. Rather, it suggests the (74) of contemporary breach of social (75) —the emancipation of the individual self. People have learned to consider any (76) to personal fulfillment as a(n) (77) insult. They have greatly expanded the circle of self-awareness. They no longer accept sharp limitations on individual desires in the (78) of the group. The amount of potential human discontent has always been (79) —misery, failure, misfitting, bitterness, hatred, envy (80) telling. It has usually failed of (81) , and in the past it was accepted passively as being beyond help.
