Learning to Accept

I learned how to accept life as it is from my father. 1, he did not teach me acceptance when he was strong and healthy, but rather when he was  2and ill.

My father was 3a strong man who loved being active, but a terrible illness 4all that away. Now he can no longer walk, and he must sit quietly in a chair all day. Even talking is5.  One night, I went to visit him with my sister, we started  6about life, and I told them about one of my 7. I said that we must always give things up 8we grow—our youth, our beauty, our friends ----but it always 9that after we give something up , we gain something new in its place. Then suddenly my father 10up. He said, “But, Peter. I gave up 11! What did I gain?”  I thought and thought, but I could not think of anything to say. 12, he answered his own question : “I 13the love of my family.” I looked at my sisters, and saw tears in their eyes, along with hope and thankfulness.

I was also 14by his words. After that ,when I began to feel irritated(愤怒的) at someone, I 15remember his words and become 16. If he could replaced his great pain with a feeling of love for others, then I should be   17to give up my small irritations. In this 18, I learned the power of acceptance from my father.

Sometimes I 19what other things I could learn from him if I listened more carefully when I was a boy. For now, though, I am grateful for this one  20.

Growing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven. His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties(地方特色菜)in Germany, Span and France. At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends. Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named Campus Cuisine about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like making drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and family to the Food Network.

Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says Lieberman’s charisma is key . “Food TV isn’t about food anymore,” says Flay. “It’s about your personality(个性) and finding a way to keep people’s eyeballs on your show.’’

But Lieberman isn’t putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new show, Lieberman was back in his own small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company(航空公司) was looking for someone to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy-to-make menu to serve on its flights. Lieberman got the job.

The market investigation is indispensable to sales promotion. They are closely related as the lips and teeth, so to speak. What you produce is for sale on the market. It would be impossible to succeed in selling a product without first investigating the market.

In the international market, goods on sale coming from different countries and suppliers are always facing keen competition. Under such circumstances, they will try everything possible to familiarize themselves with the market conditions. In making investigations, we ought to get information about what similar items the competitors are offering on the market, what prices they are quoting(报价), what features their products have, who their regular customers are, etc.

Then, how can we obtain such information? There are many channels that we can make use of in doing this sort of work. The commercial counselor’ s(顾问)offices of our embassies stationed abroad can help us in making market investigations. Nowadays, our import and export corporations(公司) send their trade groups abroad every now and then. One of their purposes is to make market surveys on the spot.

Certainly, face-to-face talks with foreign businessmen are also important channels to get market information. The Chinese Export Commodities(货物) Fairs and some other fairs of similar nature as well as visits of foreign businessmen provide us with such opportunities.

 Taking care of unsolved issues of the past will free you to move ahead with confidence. The final step toward putting your past behind so that you can reach for what’s possible is tying up your loose ends. Loose ends are the unsolved relationships that keep you from sleeping worry-free at night. You have a loose end if there’s someone you don’t want to run into on a first date or at work. You have a loose end if there’s someone you don’t want to sit next to at a holiday dinner. Loose ends are distracting(转移) and have an amazing way of biting you in the bottom at the worst times.

How to Tie Up Your Loose Ends

1.Identify the five people with whom you have the most unsolved issues.

These could be past relationships, employers, business partners, friends, family, or co-workers.

  2. Contact each of these five loose ends.

 Invite each separately to a coffee shop or some other non-threatening, non-alcohol environment. Tell each one that you want to apologize for allowing things to get crossways between you. Some may doubt your intentions, but tell them that you sincerely feel it’s time to clear the air. Ask those who agree to meet to write down any ways they think you wronged them, and you do the same. Tell them to bring this list to your get-together.

 3. Show up on time and thank each for forgiving enough to meet with you.

 Be an adult here-finger pointing only tears people apart. Remember, you experience maybe and most likely is totally different from his. Listen to each issue that each of them raises and try to see it from their perspectives(视角). Don’t interrupt them when they are sharing. Seek to understand why they have bad feelings toward you. Apologize for each thing they think you did to wrong them(even if you don’t completely agree with his view of the situation).

After you tie up your first loose end, you’ll want to solve them all. This is hard to explain until you have done it; but once you do, you’ll know what I mean. I learned so much about myself by tying up my loose ends. Most of all, I think this process helped me become a more understanding and patient friend.

1.According to the passage, a “loose end” might be caused by someone____________.

  A. who keeps you sleeping soundly     B. who helps put your past behind

  C. who has different life experiences    D. who prevents you from going forward

2.By telling his own experience in the last paragraph, the author intends to__________.

  A. learn more about himself           B. describe his own personality

  C. make his point clearerD. tell something hard to explain.

3.The general tone（语气） of the language in the passage is ___________________.

  A. disappointing   B. exciting      C. critical      D. encouraging

4.The text is mainly written to tell us ________.

A.   how to free ourselves from unsolved problems

B.   how to stay away from unsettled problems

C.   when to make an apology to others

D.   why to forgive others who wronged us

Recently 3 kinds of foods are very popular in the US.

Convenience Foods

Instead of buying only fresh foods, Americans buy many more convenience foods. These are foods which are ready partly or completely prepared. There are also many canned convenience foods, such as soups and vegetables.

Convenience foods save time and trouble. They are popular with people who are busy or who don’t like to cook or wash dishes. But they often cost more money than fresh , unprepared foods and may contain man-made additives. Also they don’t taste as good as home-cooked foods.

In the 1960s, a “back-to-the earth ” movement was started by young people in the US. The movement was a reaction against the harmful effects of technology. Many people now prefer natural and organic foods to the prepared foods sold in food stores.

These days Americans are more and more concerned with their weight. American supermarkets sell a variety of diet foods as diet soft drinks, diet candy, and diet salad dressings. Each year dozens of new diets are popularized. However, some of the diet foods are unbelievable. There are tricks in their advertisements.
