Recently,people were moved by a story taking the place in Thailand.It told about a girl whom had a quarrel with her mother and ran away from home.After several days,the girl walked into a restaurant in hungers.A man who was the cook invites her to sit down and then made some delicious food for him.The girl was very surprising.Then the cook told the girl that a woman took a photo and asked him whether he seen the girl.But the woman gave him some money to cook for the girl if she turned up.Until then the girl realized how greatly her mother was and she should be grateful on her.
How long can a person live?How tall can a human being grow?The Guinness（吉尼斯）World Records book lists many of the greatest records1.the greatest potentials（潜能）.But it's a fossil record.It speaks only to what has been done,not how much can2.(do),which is why it has to be constantly updated（更新）.
Take the3.(surprise )case of the British middle-distance runner Roger Bannister for example.In the 1950s, experts said4.the human body could not run a mile in less than four minutes.Then Bannister came along in 1954 and proved it could5.act be run in 3:59.4.Once Bannister broke the imaginary barrier,6.(sudden )the floodgates opened;scores of runners started besting（击败）the four-minute mark every year,each one7.(fast) than the last. How fast does a human have the ability8.(run)the mile today?We honestly don't know.That is why we hold our 9.(breathe )during every Olympics.
All we know10.(be)that this kind of change is possible.Keep this in mind the next time you feel stuck or challenged.Just because it hasn't been done before doesn't mean it's impossible.

5 Ways to Get Work Done
As the day draws to a close,are you having trouble finishing your work? You don't need to end up with a sense of failure.In the hours left,the following ways can help you get things done to have a sense of achievement.
1.Trick yourself.
1..So,try this: add something to your to-do-list that takes only 30 seconds to finish.Feeling a bit inspired? Then use as short a deadline to deal with another.Or focus on something by giving yourself only five minutes,and then work as long as you can.
2.Take lots of breaks.
Find yourself checking your cellphone or reading the Internet?2..Have some breaks,and you'll be able to face your work again with delight.
3.Use rewards.
One-hundred more words on this report,and you can have a cup of coffee.One more phone call,and you can check your personal email.3..
4.4..
Most of us spend too much of our day sitting.It's bad for our health and bad for our concentration.Take a walk or do some jumping in a free meeting room—anything to get you refreshed and your brain working again.
5.Work as a team.
When you have a big project deadline coming up,you can even keep a meeting room and work in the same place.5.,but also you'll feel more connected to your co-workers while doing it.
A.Get physical exercise
B.Don't feel guilty
C.Do things energetically
D.Not only will you get more done
E.Rewards are wonderful motivators
F.Endless work makes us busy and tired every day

What would work be like if you had no boss?Imagine you could make all your own decisions and no one told you what to do.
A Swedish software company,Crisp,decided to get rid of their CEO.First,they needed to find out what a CEO actually did.Then they shared those duties among staff and board members,which is exactly what they did.And the employees believes it's been a good change.An employee named Heinrik Kniberg says the company can now act faster,"If you want to get something done,you stand up and start driving that.Workers are also more active and satisfied."And any big decisions are made during the all-member meetings several times a year.
So,if it's working well for Crisp,could this model become more widespread? Online retailer（零售商）Zappos tried out a similar plan but had unpleasant results.Almost a fifth of its staff decided to leave,and CEO Tony Hsieh admitted that "self-management is not for everyone".Mr Houston,founder of file-sharing service Drew Dropbox,says that total freedom doesn't always feel good,because you no longer know what you're supposed to do,what is important and you're bumping up against other people."
Would you like to work somewhere with no boss?
1.Why can the software company Crisp act faster now?
