Sometimes it can be hard to recognize a true friend, one who is loyal(忠诚的)and one who is worth keeping by your side. The suggestions provided in this article will help to guide you in working out which friends are likely to be true.
Be able to trust your friends. You should be able to trust true friends and they should return this trust. Your friends tell you secrets that no one else knows. Let you share secrets. Ask you for advice.1. However, if your friends hide things from you and act secretive, this could be a sign that they do not trust you, but it could also mean your friends keep to themselves or don’t like to reveal too much about themselves.
Consider comfort. How comfortable do your friends feel when they are around you? Watch them, are they being themselves or are they timid (胆怯的)around you? 2.True friendships can take a while to develop, but if your friends are true, they should feel comfortable around you.
3.This is not meant in a romantic way, but consider whether your friends are comfortable with the touch. If your friends are fine with hugging you, leaning on you, resting their heads on your shoulder and so forth, then you can judge they love you.
Think about loyalty. True friends are always there for one another. If you are in need of a helping hand, your true friends should be there to offer it to you. 4.You can trust friends with anything, knowing that they will be loyal and will not let your secrets out.
Look at how you fight. Nearly all best friends fight; so if you and your friend have a little dispute(争论), don't sweat it! 5.. They will not tell each other’s secrets and they still care about each other.
A. Consider the touch barrier.
B. Consider how you insult each other.
C. They should know that you are not serious.
D. These are sure signs that your friends trust you.
E. Are they acting fake—perhaps hiding an insecurity?
F. True friends should not get one another into trouble.
G. True friends will remain faithful and find their way through a fight.
About a month after I joined Facebook, I got a call from Lori Goler, a highly regarded senior director of marketing at eBay. She made it clear this was a business call. “I want to apply to work with you at Facebook,” she said. “Instead of recommending myself, I want to ask you: What is your biggest problem, and how can I solve it?”
My jaw hit the floor. I had hired thousands of people over the previous decade and no one had ever said anything remotely like that. People usually focus on finding the right role for themselves, with the implication that their skills will help the company. Lori put Facebook’s needs front and center. It was a killer approach. I responded, “Recruiting is my biggest problem. And, yes, you can solve it.”
Lori never dreamed she would work in recruiting, but she jumped in. She even agreed to trade earnings for acquiring new skills in a new field. Lori did a great job running recruiting and within months was promoted to her current job, leading People@Facebook.
The most common metaphor for careers is a ladder, but this concept no longer applies to most workers. As of 2010, the average American had eleven jobs from the ages of eighteen to forty-six alone. Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers, who came up with a much better metaphor: “Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.”
As Lori describes it, there’s only one way to get to the top of a ladder, but there are many ways to get to the top of a jungle gym. The jungle gym model benefits everyone, but especially women who might be starting careers, switching careers, getting blocked by external barriers, or reentering the workforce after taking time off. The ability to create a unique path with occasional dips, detours (弯路), and even dead ends presents great views of many people, not just those at the top. On a ladder, most climbers are stuck staring at the butt of the person above.
1.Why did Lori make the call?
A.She helped Facebook to solve the biggest problem.
B.She wanted to make a business deal with Facebook.
C.She tried to ask for a pay rise in Facebook.
D.She wanted to become an employee in Facebook.
2.What impressed “I” by Lori?
A.Lori was good at running recruiting.
B.Lori attached great importance to Facebook’s needs.
C.Lori jumped in Facebook with no adequate experience.
D.Lori was skilled in marketing at eBay.
3.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Now all people don’t tend to climb the ladder.
B.None on the ladder can enjoy the great views.
C.Jungle gyms offer limited exploration for employees.
D.A pregnant woman, jobless, benefits little from the jungle gyms.
4.What is the best title of the passage?
A.It’s a Jungle Gym, Not a Ladder.
B.Facebook’s Biggest Problem.
C.Applying for a Job in Facebook.
D.A Jungle Gym is Better than a Ladder.
