There is a huge power in knowing how to make adjustments in life. In fact, it’s possible to turn failure into success by making the right adjustments. 1.
Whatever your station in life, everyone will face what I call the 3Cs: changes, challenges and choices. The following are some simple but powerful tips to help you make effective life adjustments.
2.
Most people see with their eyes but very few people know how to observe. The difference between seeing and observing is like the difference between reading and studying. One factor in helping you to listen better is to hear not only what people say but also what they don’t say. Reading body language and voice inflection (音调变化) can help you listen between the lines. All these play an effective role in helping you to think with your eyes and ears.
Learn to go with the flow.
The people who learn to make the best life adjustments can develop the habit of going with the flow. 3. Notice people who can go with the flow and you will find a person with sharp instincts they depend on.
4.
If you can keep an attitude of preparation for 3Cs, you’ll have the best chance of making effective life adjustments.
As the saying goes, if you stay ready, you do not have to get ready. 5.
A.Listen to what people don’t say.
B.So, what’s one of the key factors for people who fail to make life adjustments?
C.Learn to think with your eyes and ears.
D.The best way to do that is to trust your instincts.
E.Be prepared for changes, challenges and choices.
F.The key is in knowing where they are needed and how much.
G.That’s the best advice for anyone who wants to make the best life adjustments and win!
In 1977, a University of Oxford statistician named Richard Peto pointed out a simple yet puzzling biological fact: we humans should have a lot more cancer than mice, but we don’t.
Dr. Peto’s argument was simple. Every time a cell divides, there’s a small chance it will gain a mutation(突变) that speeds up its growth. Cells that accumulate (聚集) several of these mutations may become cancerous. The bigger an animal is, the more cells it has, and the longer an animal lives, the more times its cells divide. We humans undergo (经历) about 10,000 times as many cell divisions as mice—and thus should be far more likely to get cancer.
A number of scientists have assumed that large, long-lived animals must have evolved extra cancer-fighting weapons. Otherwise, these species would die out.
Dr. Joshua D. Schiffman, an oncologist (肿瘤学家）at the Huntsman Cancer Institute, reviewed zoo records on the deaths of 644 elephants and found that less than 5 percent died of cancer. By contrast, 11 percent to 25 percent of humans die of cancer.
To understand the elephants’ defenses, the scientists investigated a gene that is vital to preventing cancer called p53. The protein encoded by the gene monitors cells for damage to the DNA they contain. Dr. Schiffman and his colleagues found that elephants have evolved new copies of the p53 gene. While humans have only one pair of p53 genes, the scientists identified 20 pairs in elephants.
To see whether these extra copies of p53 made a difference in fighting cancer, they ran experiments on elephant cells. They treated elephant cells with damaging radiation, chemicals and UV light.
“In all cases, instead of trying to repair the damage, the elephant cells simply committed suicide” said Dr. Schiffman. He said he thought the way the elephant cells responded was a very effective way to block cancer.
Patricia Muller, an oncologist at the MRC Toxicology Unit at the University of Leicester, who was not involved in the studies, said the results, though convincing, didn’t firmly establish exactly how elephants use p53 to fight cancer. One possibility is that the extra copies don’t actually cause cells to commit suicide. Instead, they may act as decoys (诱饵) for enzymes (酶) that destroy p53 proteins.
Dr. Muller said it was especially important to understand precisely how elephants fight cancer before trying to copy their strategies with drugs for humans.
1.What does the 2nd paragraph want to tell us?
A.Human should be more likely to develop cancer than mice.
B.Cell division can increase the speed of growth of mutations.
C.The bigger an animal is, the smaller chance of getting cancer it has.
D.Dr. Peto’s argument was not simple.
2.According to the passage, p53 is ______.
A.a protein to prevent cancer B.a gene to defend against cancer
C.a protein to destroy damaged cells D.a gene to change cells
3.What does Dr. Schiffman say about the extra copies of p53 fighting cancer?
A.They cause the cells to repair the genes.
B.They stop cells from dividing further.
C.They act as decoys for enzymes that destroy p53 proteins.
D.They cause the cells to commit suicide.
4.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.Dr. Schiffman pointed out that we humans don’t have more cancer than mice.
B.The cancer death rate of humans is five percent higher than that of elephants.
C.The scientists found there are 20 pairs of p53 genes in elephants.
D.Dr. Muller also took part in the studies.
Celebrity (名人) has become one of the most important representatives of popular culture. Fans used to be crazy about a specific film, but now the public tends to base its consumption (消费) on the interest of celebrity attached to any given product. Besides, fashion magazines have almost abandoned the practice of putting models on the cover because they don’t sell nearly as well as famous faces. As a result, celebrities have realized their unbelievably powerful market potential, moving from advertising for others’ products to developing their own.
Celebrity clothing lines aren’t a completely new phenomenon, but in the past they were typically aimed at the ordinary consumers, and limited to a few TV actresses. Today they’re started by first-class stars whose products enjoy equal fame with some world top brands. The most successful start-ups have been those by celebrities with specific personal style. As celebrities become more and more experienced at the market, they expand their production scale rapidly, covering almost all the products of daily life.
However, for every success story, there’s a related warning tale of a celebrity who overvalued his consumer appeal. No matter how famous the product’s origin is, if it fails to impress consumers with its own qualities it begins to resemble an exercise in self-promotional marketing. And once the initial attention dies down, consumer interest might fade, loyalty returning to tried-and-true labels.
Today, celebrities face even more severe embarrassment. The pop-cultural circle might be bigger than ever, but its rate of turnover has speeded up as well. Each misstep threatens to reduce a celebrity’s shelf life, and the same newspaper or magazine that once brought him fame has no problem picking him to pieces when the opportunity appears. Still, the ego’s (自我的) potential for expansion is limitless. Having already achieved great wealth and public recognition, many celebrities see fashion as the next frontier to be conquered. As the saying goes, success and failure always go hand in hand. Their success as designers might last only a short time, but fashion—like celebrity—has always been temporary.
1.Fashion magazines today ______.
A.totally refuse to put models on the cover
B.rarely place models on the cover
C.need not worry about celebrities’ market potential
D.judge the market potential of every celebrity correctly
2.A change in the consumer market can be found today that ______.
A.price rather than brand name is more concerned
B.producers prefer models to celebrities for advertisements
