How to get along with your boss
In your career, you may have to report to a manager, the person you call boss.
1. Here are some tips to help you develop an effective relationship with your boss.
The first step is to develop a positive relationship with your boss. Relationships are based on trust. 2. Keep timetable commitments (承诺). Never blindside (偷袭) your manager with surprises that you could have predicted or prevented. Keep him/her informed about your projects and interactions with the rest of the organization.
Tell the boss when you’ve made an error or one of your reporting staff has made a mistake. 3. Lies or efforts to mislead always result in further stress for you as you worry about getting “caught”. Communicate daily or weekly to build the relationship.
Recognize that success at work is not all about you. 4. Identify your boss’s areas of weakness or greatest challenges and ask what you can do to help. What are your boss’s biggest worries? How can your contribution reduce these concerns? Understand your boss’s goals and priorities. Place emphasis in your work to match her priorities. Think in terms of the overall success of your department and company，not just about your narrow world at work.
5. Does he/she like frequent communication, autonomous employees, requests in writing in advance of a meeting, or informal conversation as you pass in the halfway? Your boss’s preferences are important. The better you understand them, the better you will work with him/her.
If you sometimes disagree and occasionally experience an emotional reaction, don’t hold hatred. Don’t make threats about leaving. Disagreement is fine. You need to come to terms with the fact that your boss has more authority and power than you do.
A. Do what you say you’ll do.
B. Value your boss’s time.
C. Cover-ups (掩饰) don’t contribute to an effective relationship.
D. Identify what he/she values in an employee.
E. Put your boss’s needs at the center of your universe.
F. The relationship with your boss is important for your work success and career progress.
G. Learning how to read your boss’s moods and reactions is also helpful.
“Heaven (天堂) is where the police are English, the cooks are French, the mechanics are German, the lovers are Italian and everything is organized by the Swiss. Hell (地狱) is where the police are German, the cooks are English, the mechanics are French, the lovers are Swiss, and everything is organized by the Italians.”
Obviously the national stereotypes (模式化的思想) in this old joke are generalizations (普遍化), but such stereotypes are often said to “exist for a reason”. Is there actually a sliver (裂片) of truth in them? Not likely, an international research team now says.
“National and cultural stereotypes do play an important role in how people see themselves and others, and being aware that these are not dependable is a useful thing,” said study author Robert McCrae of the National Institute on Aging. “These are in fact unfounded stereotypes. They don’t come from looking around you,” McCrae said.
If national stereotypes aren’t rooted in real experiences, then where do they come from? One possibility is that they reflect national values, which may become known from historical events. For example, many historians have argued that the spirit of American individualism (个人主义) has its origins in the experiences of the pioneers on the Old West.
Social scientists such as psychologist Richard Robins have given several other possible explanations for stereotypes and why they may be incorrect. Robins notes that some stereotypes may have been correct at one point in history and then remained unchanged while the culture changed.
We may be “hard-wired”, to some degree, to keep incorrect stereotypes, since we are less likely to notice and remember information that is different from our stereotypes. Generally, according to Robins, when we meet people who are different from our stereotypes, we see them as unique individuals rather than typical national or cultural groups.
1.The stereotype about Italians is ________.
A. romantic but disorganized
B. friendly and good-tempered
C. dreamy and impractical
D. strict but thoughtful
2.National stereotypes are not always correct because ________.
A. they are formed by individual historians
B. what was true in the past may not be true at the present
C. generalizations are made through personal experience
D. people tend to have false idea about other cultures
3.According to the research team led by McCrae, national stereotypes are ________.
A. interestingB. harmfulC. humorousD. unreliable
4.The underlined word “hard-wired” in the last paragraph probably means ________.
A. forgetfulB. anxiousC. fixedD. helpless
“You can you up, no can no bb.” The latest Chinglish buzz phrase, having swept through Chinese cyberspace (网络空间) and society, has now made a landing overseas, entering the US web-based Urban Dictionary.

They are reflections of the changes and trends in the Chinese society and they help people from other countries to understand what’s happening in China,” according to Xing Hongbing, a professor of Beijing Language and Culture University.
