Last Saturday I had a trip to a new opened park, called Grangfulin Relics Park. When I got there I found that the environment was perfect and that there was various birds flying around. That attracted me most was the strange building. It looked like a flooding house, the roof of which was above the water, and indeed it’s “body” was under the water. People could get there by going down the stair. In the building there was an exhibition which was very much great, for there were plenty architectural models and exhibits.
In a word, this park is a place worth visited again.

The information I 1.(collect) over the last few years leads me to believe that speed reading may be less 2.(use) than most people think. The claim that you can read and comprehend over 30,000 words per minute is overstated. One researcher proved this in a study where irrelevant and illogical sentences were added to a text. The “speed readers” 3. were tested didn’t notice the irrelevant lines — the non-speed readers spotted them immediately.
I’ve interviewed people who have attended the introductory sessions 4. (offer) by some speed reading courses. 5. (them) stories indicate that improper methods are sometimes used to sell the courses. Here’s how: First, you’re asked to read a passage from a book 6. which most persons would be unfamiliar. Your reading speed and comprehension are tested during this exercise. Then, after about half 7. hour of instruction, another reading test is given. But this time the reading is one most educated Americans know well — such as Huckleberry Finn. Not 8. (surprising), persons attending these introductory sessions find that their “exit” speed and comprehension are better than their “entry”9. (perform).
I’m one of the fiction readers who appreciate the beauty in good writing. Occasionally I’ll read a passage or sentence over and over just 10. (let) the beauty of its construction soak(参透) in. Good writing must be read carefully and thoughtfully to be fully appreciated.
Growing up in the 1960s, I was taught from an early age to send a handwritten thank-you note expressing ______ for kindness. My mother used to buy me a box of paper and ______ me in the art and value of saying “thank you”. She ______ to be right.
A study showed that it took most volunteers less than 5 minutes to write the thank-you notes. Just 5 minutes to make ______ person feel “overjoyed”! ______, in our “instant” world, the idea of getting an actual pen and writing an actual note seems to never come to mind. We tend to do what is ______ for us — a quick text or an email.
It’s easy to use the ______ of being busy, but even very busy and ______ businessmen find time to ______ thank-you notes. For example, when Doug Conant became CEO of Campbell’s Soup, the company had ______ half of its market value and morale(士气) was at an all-time low. He ______fixing that by doing some simple things that are probably not ______ in any MBA class. For one thing, Conant wrote to every ______. He gained their confidence and ______, turned the company ______.
In his ten years as CEO, Conant wrote over 30,000 notes to employees. It’s ______ not to ask how he did it. ______, he had many other things to do ______ writing a thank-you note.

Have you ever wondered how the trainers at Sea World get the 19,000-pound whale to jump 22 feet out of water and perform tricks? They get that whale to go over a rope farther out of the water than most of us can imagine. 1..
So how do the trainers at Sea World do it? The first thing they do is reinforce(强化) the behavior that they want repeated --- in this case, to get the whale to go over the rope.2., in a position where the whale can’t help but do what’s expected of it. Every time the whale goes over the rope, it’s given positive reinforcement and gets fed with fish. But what happened when the whale goes under the rope? Nothing — no criticism, no warning and no feedback. 3..
Positive reinforcement is the key of that simple principle that produces such splendid results. And as the whale begins to go over the rope more often than under, the trainers begin to raise the rope. It must be raised slowly enough so that the whale doesn’t starve.
4.. Make a big deal out of the good and little stuff that we want consistently. Secondly, under-criticize. People know they need help when they mess up. 5., people will not forget the event and usually will not repeat it.
So we need to set up the circumstances so that people can’t fail. Over-celebrate, under-criticize…and know how far to raise the rope.
A. This is a great challenge
B. And the whale stays right where it is
C. If we figure out a way to motivate the whale
D. They start with the rope below the surface of the water
E. If we under-criticize, punish and discipline less than expected
F. Whales are taught that their negative behavior won’t be acknowledged
G. The simple lesson to be learned from the whale trainers is to over-celebrate
