Supporting Others
We’re always being told that the secret to happiness lies in helping others, Indeed, it’s natural to want to support those we care about, especially if we are in a position to do so. 1.
When we offer support, it may not always be wanted. 2. In this case, offering support in the manner of “... if l were you, I would …” can feel like a scolding rather than support. If our support feels conditional, it can feel burdensome.
3. When someone is trying to manage illness or a house move, just saying, “What would help you today?” can be amazingly supportive. Or, suggest what you can do for them: picking up some shopping, taking the dog for a walk. Even if it’s not needed, just knowing you’ve been thought of can be supportive in itself.
Try to be mindful of offering support that is disabling, rather than enabling. My son, when aged five, wanted to make a cup of tea. I could see how inspiring it was to him to be able to do this. So I filled the kettle and took him through the safety measures. It felt like a huge risk but it worked. His pleasure was immeasurable. The same principle applies when we offer support that increases someone else’s capacity.4.
Sometimes the only support that’s needed is to listen without judgement. 5. This reassures (使安心) them that someone cares enough to listen while they ground themselves. When times are tough, remember to keep things stable. Waiting until the storm has passed is all it takes.
Support often works best when it’s a two-way process. It is good to know how to accept help from others as well as offer support to them.
A.Walk alongside someone and make comments.
B.Come up with a couple of ideas for your friends.
C.Ask what support is needed and provide a practical one.
D.This can often be a bigger gift than just doing it for them.
E.But we can do more by thinking about the support we offer.
F.Sometimes people arc trying to manage life in their own way.
G.Just be there, occasional while someone lets out their feeling.

A
A shopkeeper sent his son to learn about the secret of happiness from the wisest man in the world. The boy walked a long way, and finally came upon the beautiful castle where the wise man lived.
On entering the main room of the castle, the boy was quite surprised: tradesmen coming and going, people chatting in the corners, and a small orchestra playing soft music. The wise man talked with everyone, and the boy had to wait for two hours before it was his turn.
The wise man listened carefully to the boy’s explanation of why he had come, but told him that he didn’t have time just then to explain the secret of happiness. He suggested that the boy look around the palace and return in two hours.
“Meanwhile, I want to ask you to do something,” said the wise man, handing the boy a teaspoon that held two drops of oil. “As you wander around, carry this spoon with you without allowing the oil to spill.”
The boy began to walk up and down stairs of the palace, keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon. After two hours, he returned to the wise man.
“Well,” asked the wise man, “Did you see the Persian tapestries（挂毯）in the hall? Did you see the garden that took the master gardener ten years to create?” The boy was embarrassed, and replied that he had observed nothing. His only concern had been not to spill the oil.
“Then go back and observe the wonders of my world,” said the wise man. The boy picked up the spoon and returned to his exploration of the palace. This time he observed all of the works of art on the ceilings and the walls. When he returned, he described in detail everything he had seen.
“But where are the drops of oil?” asked the wise man. Looking down at the spoon he held, the boy saw that the oil was gone.
“Well, there is only one piece of advice I can give you,” said the wise man. “The secret of happiness is to see all the wonders of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.”
1.When the boy arrived at the castle, he .
A. received a warm welcome from the wise man
B. had already missed his chance to talk to the wise man
C. was shown around the palace by the local people
D. didn’t expect to see so many people around
2.The wise man gave the boy two tasks in order to .
A. show him how to observe the wonders in the world
B. teach him the secret of happiness
C. make him learn from his mistakes
D. let the boy enjoy his palace and garden
3. We can infer from the article that “the drops of the oil on the spoon” probably refer to .
A. the beauty of one’s nature
B. the fortune a person possesses
C. the responsibilities one has to take on
D. the great opportunities in life
4.What would be the best title for the article?
A. Lesson about Happiness
B. The Secret of Happiness
C. Learning about Happiness
D. Searching for Happiness

Successful people in international business understand the cultures of other countries and learn to change their practices in different cultures. They understand the importance of avoiding business decisions based on misconceptions—mistaken ideas.
One cause of misconceptions is ethnocentrism, the belief that one’s own culture’s way of doing things is better than the way of other cultures. It’s ethnocentrism that leads to failure in international business. To avoid ethnocentrism, it’s necessary to study the different elements（组成部分）of culture: language, values and attitudes, and customs and manners.
Language
A. knowledge of the local language can help international business people in four ways. First, people can communicate directly. Second, people are usually more open in their communication with someone who speaks their language. Third, an understanding of the language allows people to infer meanings that are not said directly. Finally, knowing the language helps people to understand the culture better.
Values are people’s basic beliefs about the difference between right and wrong, good and bad . An attitude is a way of thinking or acting. Values and attitudes influence international business. For example, many people in the United States believe that chocolate from Switzerland is better than chocolate from other countries, and they buy a lot of it.
Customs and manners
Customs are common social practices. Manners are ways of acting that the society believes are polite. For example, in the United States, it is the custom to have salad （色拉） before the main course at dinner, not after. It’s not acceptable to talk with food in mouth at table. Failure to understand the customs and manners of other countries will bring difficulty selling their products. Orange juice as a breakfast drink of an American company in France doesn’t sell well because the French don’t usually drink juice with breakfast.
1.A. knowledge of the local language allows international business people _________.
A. to be more open with their customers
B. to communicate without outside help
C. to express their thoughts indirectly
D. to have a better idea of their own culture
2.The act of many people buying chocolate of Switzerland shows the role of ________.
A. manners B. values C. attitudes D. customs
3.What would be the best title for the text?
A. Misconceptions in Business B. Basic Beliefs in Business
C. International Business Culture D. Successful International Business
4.The author’s purpose of writing this article is to tell people ___________
A. how to take a right attitude in business
B. how to avoid misunderstandings in business
C. how to use a local language in business
D. how to act politely and properly in business

The real point of human nature lies in the social bonds that we make through family, friendships, professional associations and local communities. These bonds produce a sense of common purpose and values, in which groups of people seek hard and enjoy together the things that are for the common good: a sound education, a pleasant environment to live in, a healthy population. This is what the heart of the gift economy (经济) is.
In the past, American companies operating in Japan found it difficult to attract Japanese people, even though, compared with Japanese employers, they offered more generous wages, shorter work hours and better promotion chances. But these were traditionally not so important to the employees, who did not think of their services as being ‘bought’. Rather, they felt they were entering into a long-term—“gift exchange” —relationship with their employer, which was of mutual (相互) benefit.
This relationship had many aspects. At its most basic it related the simple exchange of physical gifts. For example, if the employee got married, the company sent a gift. Another company gift which is popular among Japanese employees is the yearly company vacation. On these organized weekends co-workers share dormitories, eat together and visit the same attractions, largely at the company’s expense. For their part, the main gift given by the employees to their company is their hard work and this is why each Japanese employee gives such great attention to accuracy, and quality in their work. Even the simplest tasks are carried out with extraordinary care.
Now, neighborhood groups use online networks to share tools and skills. Someone who needs a long ladder to repair their roof does not need to go out and buy one; they simply put a message up on the neighborhood discussion board and soon a neighbor will offer theirs. Via the Internet, knowledge and advice can be shared on almost everything, from how a nuclear reactor works to how to plan your holiday. The gift economy is going through a booming time.
1.What is the key point of the gift economy?
A.People’s working hard. B.People’s similar social status.
C.Sharing social interests. D.Accepting social bonds.
2.Why did the Japanese show little interest in American companies?
A.The companies offered them low salaries.
B.They were difficult to get a better position.
C.The companies provided shorter vacations.
D.They didn’t want to sell their services.
3.What does the yearly company vacation inspire Japanese employees to do?
A.Contribute themselves to the company.
B.Exchange physical gifts with each other.
C.Spend less money while talking vacations.
D.Organize more effective weekend parties.
4.What can we infer about the gift economy from the last paragraph?
A.It is changing the Internet services. B.It benefits greatly from the Internet.
C.It is better accepted on the Internet. D.It booms the Internet development.
