Nowadays, most employees of local high-tech industries are below the age of 35,and for newly rising industries such as computer software and the Internet, the figure is below 30.People in this age bracket(阶层)are known as Generation-X, which is made up of those born between 1963 and 1981(i.e. those aged between 17 and 35).Compared with those born from 1946 t0 1960, Generation-X are typically independent, they also have their shortcomings. Employers often complain that Generation-X are a group hard to manage. Although willingness and enthusiasm are highly valued by Generation-X, they will not accept orders blindly. In short, Generation-X will not accept authoritarian(权力主义) leadership. They expect their leaders to have a detailed understanding of the job, and most importantly, to treat them as an important member of them as partners.

As a result, managing Generation-X employees is not only a science but also an art. There are basic guidelines to follow in managing them and helping them perform at their best.

1. Support them in their quest(追求)for knowledge skills;

2. Room for creativity and failure.

3. Provide frequent and timely feedback(反馈)

4. Provide communication channels.

2.From the article we know that the writer_____

3.If you were a manager working with Generation-X ,you should ____.

When Ben Franklin was only a boy, he always wanted to know about things. He was always asking his father and brothers “What?” and “How?” and “Why?”

They couldn’t always tell him what he wanted to know.

When they couldn’t tell him, Ben tried to find out for himself.

Many times Ben did find out things that no one knew before. The other boys would say, “That Ben Franklin! He’s always finding out something new!”

Ben lived close to the water. He liked to go there to see the boats. He saw how the wind blew them across the water.

One day Ben said to himself, “Why can’t the wind help me float across the water? And I’m going to try.” Ben got his big kite. He took hold of the kite string and ran with it. The wind took the kite up into the air. Then Ben jumped into the water.

The wind blew the kite high into the air. Ben began to float across the water. Soon he was on the other side, and he had not worked at all.

One boy shouted, “Look at Ben floating across the water! His kite takes him to the other side without any work!”

“Yes,” said another. “He’s always finding new ways to do things.”

1.When he was only a child, Ben ________.

2. His father and brothers________.

Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.

Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded （包围） by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.

There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.

There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime（消遣）, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food．What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.

The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.

1.According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?

2.The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because

3.The word "steering" underlined in the last sentence most probably means _______.

4.The main purpose of the text is to _________.

Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal （信号）. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.

Different cultures emphasize （强调） the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job．In many European countries -- like the UK or France -- people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.

Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand．I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled．After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.

Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.

People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment （多元文化环境） will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.

1.In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to _____.

2.The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that _________.

3.According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?

4.What would be the best title for the text?
