  The two boys finally worked out an agreement.They would toss(扔)a coin.The   4   would work in the nearby mines to support his brother.Albrecht Durer   5   the toss and went off to Nuremberg.Albert went into the dangerous mines and, for the next four years, financed his brother,   6   work at the academy was almost an   7   success.Albrecht’s woodcuts and oils were   8   better than those of his professors and he soon was earning considerable fees   9   his works.

  When the young   10   returned home, the Durer family held a festive dinner.Albrecht rose to toast to his beloved brother,“Now, Albert, it is your   11   to seek your dream.I will support you.”

  All heads turned to the far end of the table, where Albert sat, tears streaming down his pale face, while he   12   and repeated,“No…no.”Finally, Albert rose and   13   the tears from his cheeks.He said softly,“I   14   go to Nuremberg, brother.It is too late for me.Look what four years in the mines have done to my hands!The bones in every finger have been smashed at least once, and I cannot even hold a glass to   15   your toast.”

  Today, Albrecht Durer’s masterful works   16   in every great museum in the world, but chances are great   17   you, like most people, are familiar with only one of them.Albrecht Durer drew his brother’s abused hands with palms together and thin   18   stretched skyward.He   19   it“The Praying Hands.”

In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老)treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.

Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light-heartedly out the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, ”Oh boy, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.”I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, for his while

Several months ago I was racing to catch  a him As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Grey hound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile ,”Oh that bus left five minutes ago.”Dreams of head-cutting!

  It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered. Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he didn’t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.

Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you’re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter mainly told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.

Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warming .Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, ” Oh, that’s all right I’ll catch the next one.” Big winners, when they bear bad news ,deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轰炸的)person is sure to have.

In Paragraph 1,the writer tells the story of the pharaoh to ____.

A. make a comparison      B. introduce a topic

C. describe a scene         D. offer an argument

In the writer’s opinion, his neighbor was ___.

A. friendly   B. warm-hearted    C. not considerate   D. not helpful

From “Dreams of head-cutting!”(Paragraph3),we learn that the writer___.

A. was mad at the sales agent

B. was reminded of the cruel pharaoh

C. wished that the sales agent would have had dreams

D. dreamed of cutting the sales agent’s head that night.

What is the main idea of the text?

A. Delivering bad news properly is important in communication.

B. Helping others sincerely is the key to business success.

C. Receiving bad news requires great courage.

D. Learning ancient traditions can be useful.
