Having roommates can sometimes be challenging. 1. It can be said, though, that nearly all issues are based on one roommate's lack of consideration for another.
Considerate people usually have consideration for others simply because it seems like the best thing to do. On the contrary, inconsiderate people usually don't think of themselves as such. 2. This can consequently cause major upset in the atmosphere of a room.
Not all roommates have the same daily schedule, so a common problem that roommates have to deal with is noise. It can be hard to coordinate a time for noise and a time for quiet. One may want to study and the other may want to play music. 3.
In the shared areas of the room, problems can arise in terms of how much space one or another roommate claims for himself. 4. This kind of space issue is often repeated in the refrigerator and other areas where each roommate needs an equal amount of space.
5. Although not all problems can be overcome easily, having discussions can sometimes prevent an issue from becoming a major point of tension in the room. For example, sometimes the solution to a problem with space is as simple as a verbal (言语的) exchange of views the problem.
A.There are certain things that roommates may decide not to share.
B.For example, one may take all the shared space for his or her own.
C.This can greatly contribute to the pleasure of living with roommates.
D.And it's hard to explain to these people that they are acting in inconsiderate manners.
E.So it's common that many people experience tough problems when living with others.
F.And one may have friends come over for a talk when the other is sick and trying to rest,
G.Open communication is the best way to come up with a solution to the above problems.
Look on almost any street comer in America and you will see a fast food shop, the McDonald’s. Did you ever wonder why the McDonald's is so successful everywhere you go?
It certainly doesn't lie in the price of the food or the customer service there. If you stop for lunch at an airport McDonald's，half the continent away, the meal will be almost the same as the lunch you could order at the McDonald's that's closest to your home. What's more, anytime you eat at a McDonald's, you may feel nostalgia (怀旧之情)because the tastes are so similar to your first Happy Meal when you were a child.
The success of the McDonald's, which truly set the stage for other franchise (特许经销权) businesses all over the world, is owed to Ray Kroc. Ray，in 1954, partnered with Dick and Maurice McDonald, the founding brothers behind the first McDonald’s restaurant，to make this small restaurant a nationwide sensation (轰动). Ray's pushing the McDonald's farther than the founders proves an important concept in leadership: the Law of the Lid (盖子法则). The higher the person's ability to lead, the higher the lid on his or her potential.
The McDonald brothers understood how to run a business. They were excellent managers, but when they tried marketing the McDonald's concept, they failed. Their thinking patterns in leadership limited the lid of their potential on the level of what they can do or become. In contrast, the lid of potential in Ray's life was sky high due to his leadership. Between 1955 and 1959, he succeeded in opening 100 McDonald's restaurants. Today the company has more than 35,000 locations in over 120 countries around the world!
If you can get a handle on this law, you will see the unbelievable effect of leadership on every aspect of your life or your company. Wherever you look, you can find smart people who are only able to go so far because of the limitations of their leadership. That's why in times of trouble, organizations naturally look for new leadership. To lift the lid on your potential, continue your study of leadership.
1.What is most probably the key to the McDonald's success?
A.Its fair price. B.Its consistency in food.
C.Its Happy Meal for children. D.Its warm and friendly service.
2.What can we know about Ray Kroc?
A.He opened the first McDonald's.
B.He made the most popular food in the McDonald's.
C.He set up various stages for guests in the McDonald's.
D.He expanded the McDonald's into a worldwide business.
3.Which of the following statements will the author agree with?
A.Ray Kroc lacked a strong sense of effectiveness and leadership.
B.A person's leadership determines the potential of his business.
C.The lid on the McDonald brothers' potential is fairly high.
D.An excellent manager is also good at marketing.
4.What's the best title of the text?
A.Leadership counts B.Ways to realize our potential
C.Popularity of the McDonald's D.Secrets of running a business
As technology in the security field advances, so does the intelligence of the burglars in prevailing over this technology. Gone are the days when a simple alarm system, connected to your phone line, was enough to protect you from potential security risks.
Cellular alarm systems (蜂窝报警系统)are a replacement of the traditional wired phone line security networks. These systems work just like your cell phone. A cellular module is placed in the main control panel and it sends signals, without the use of wires, to the monitoring station. The cellular signal is sent via the data part of a cellular signal, much like a text message.
Sensors can be placed anywhere in your house. Whenever there is an emergency, the relevant sensor picks up the unusual activity and sends a cellular signal to the main control panel. The control panel serves more than one purpose, which sends a cellular signal at the same time to the monitoring service at the back end. The monitoring service later informs the relevant authorities in the form of high-pitched sirens (高音警笛声). Typically it takes a few minutes for emergency services to arrive at the scene. Depending on the efficiency of your monitoring service and the local authorities, help should arrive soon and deal with the potential threats.
It allows you to monitor your house remotely. All you have to do is simply access the cameras from your phone and keep a check for any unusual activities while you are not around. With cellular technology securing your house, you don’t have to worry about the power failure or even burglars cutting your phone lines.
Since these systems operate on batteries, you should be careful about when the batteries die out. There might be other appliances including microwave ovens and WiFi in the house that can cause disruption (干扰). Ensure that your cellular alarm system's range is not affected by the presence of these appliances. Many homeowners tend to go for wireless systems due to the ease of installation (安装）factor. However，keep in mind that a non-professional installation might actually leave the system easy to damage.
1.What do the underlined words ''prevailing over'' mean in Paragraph 1?
A.Improving. B.Defeating.
C.Worrying about. D.Looking into.
2.How can the authorities know an emergency is happening?
A.They hear high-pitched sirens.
B.They read the cellular signal.
C.They check the control panel online.
D.They notice the unusual activity via sensors.
3.What can we know about the cellular alarm system?
A.It looks like a phone. B.It is energy-saving.
C.It needs to be improved. D.It is wireless.
4.What's the purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To give cautions about the system.
B.To introduce the benefits of the system.
C.To call on people to watch out for security risks.
D.To teach people to install the system correctly.
