1). A is for always getting to work on time.■B is for being extremely busy.■C is for the conscientious(尽责的) way you do our job.■You may be all these things at the office，and more.But when it comes to getting ahead，experts say，the ABCs of business should include a policy for politics，as in office politics.■Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago.Hard work alone doesn′t ensure career advancement.You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas，both publicly and behind the scenes.Yet，despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics—a better job，a raise，praise—many people are still unable or unwilling to “play the game”.■“People assume that office politics involves some manipulative(工于心计的) behavior，” says Deborah Comer，an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University.“But politics derives from the word ‘polite′.It can mean lobbying and forming associations.It can mean being kind and helpful，or even trying to please your superior，and then expecting something in return.”■In fact，today，experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue one′s own self-interest the workplace.In many cases，this involves some form of socializing within the office environment—not just in large companies，but in small workplaces as well.■“The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis，” says Nell.P.Lewis，a management psychologist.“But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion，each of whom has reasonably similar ability，a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best.It′s simple human nature.”■Yet，psychologists say，many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office.Some people，they say have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed.Still others associate politics with flattery(奉承)，fearful that，if they speak up for themselves，they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors.Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion.The author considers office politics to be ( ).
A.unwelcome at the workplace
B.had for interpersonal relationships
C.an important factor for personal advancement
D.indispensable to the development of company culture

2). Children′s Schoolbags Are Getting Heavier■(1)现在学生背的书包越来越重；■(2)造成这种现象的原因；■(3)我的看法。
正确答案：Children′s Schoolbags Are Getting Heavier Nowadays we often hear our children groaning under the pressure of an ever-increasing burden of their studies.■(1)The schoolbags on their backs are getting heavier and heavier， and the hours spent on their assignments longer and longer.■(2)Why can′t their burden be relieved in spite of protests？ For one thing，parents have a strong desire for the early intellectual achievement of their children.They believe that if they don′t force their children to read more，a golden opportunity for success■(3)will be lost and the chances of their children′s being admitted to key schools，and then to colleges will become slim.So children are under constant pressure to■(4) score high，test well，aim first.For another，teachers ally themselves with parents in applying pressure.Since scores are not only the mark of success or failure for a particular student，but also a measurement of a teacher′s performance，it is natural for the teacher to assign more homework for his own sake as well as his students′.In my opinion，■(5)parents and teachers should join hands together to lighten children′s academic burden，or else the heavy schoolbags would crush the children.
3). How to survive a layoff■[A]What should you do when you receive notice of a layoff？ What′s the best way of surviving a layoff？ Here are some suggestions：■[B]Don′t Panic！ After a job loss，it may seem like your world is crashing in all at once.Stay calm and resist the urge to make any sudden moves—like sending a scathing (苛责的) e-mail or making a scene on your way out—that could hurt you in the long run.“It′s completely normal to feel panic after a job loss，” says Lynn Joseph，Ph.D.，psychologist and author of “The Job-Loss Recovery Guide.” In fact，it may feel like the rug (地毯) has been pulled out from under your career—and your life，she says.■[C]Your self esteem can also take a hit，especially if you think you′ve been singled out.“Logically and intellectually we know that (we may have been part of a mass layoff)，but emotionally we take it personally，” Joseph says.With so many emotions at play，the key is to think before you act.Remember，your goal is to leave your job gracefully and with integrity.■[D]Avoid immediately jumping into a job search，Joseph warns.“Traditionally we work with interviews and resumes before we work with the emotional loss of a career.We are not taking it in the right order，” she says，and advises that you take a few days off to calm yourself down and deal with your emotions.You don′t want to land a job interview and break down explaining what happened to you.Get your emotional and body language under control before you attempt to go on the interview trail.■[E]Create a Support Team.Don′t try to go it alone.Seeking help after a layoff，whether it comes from family and friends，former co-workers or a professional counselor，is an important part of the healing process.Learn to be your best pillar of support.“It is important to be openly communicative and try not to hide things and keep secrets，” says Dr.Lynn Joseph，author of “The Job-Loss Recovery Guide.” She says it′s important that you deal with the stress and anxiety of a layoff，which can lead to depression.“You will all fair better throughout this process if you pool your resources，” she says.■[F]After telling family，you need to start reaching out to friends and colleagues.You may find it somewhat embarrassing，but it′s very important to identify who you can lean on during this critical time.Create a two-minute “elevator speech” about what happened to you.You don′t owe them an elaborate explanation.■[G]Schedule a weekly family meeting if necessary，where you can talk openly.Meet friends over coffee or lunch and ask them for advice.If you know of others in your field who have been laid off，get together with them and share ideas and future opportunities.Even with your own support team，you may feel the need for additional help.Consider working with a career counselor who is trained to assist downsized employees.■[H]As you build your external support system，you should also be mindful of your feelings.Joseph suggests journaling as a way to move along the healing process.She recommends sitting down for 20 minutes every day to write about your job loss，letting your feelings pour out on the page.“When you start writing，and noticing what you are writing，you move through that first phase of shock and anger and then you begin to re-frame and have insight on the whole process and yourself.You begin to see the positive aspects and the opportunities that may be available to you，” she says.■[I]File for Unemployment Benefits.If you′ve been laid off，you should file for unemployment insurance as soon as possible.The sooner you file，the sooner you can be deemed eligible，and the sooner you can start receiving funds.Even if you received a substantial severance package (遣散费)，you should still file for unemployment compensation (also known as UI).■[J]“The unemployment agency will verify with your employer the reason for you losing your job.Sometimes unemployment is part of the negotiation severance package，where the employer states that they will not interfere with that claim，” explains HR expert Lily Garcia.You′ll need to explain clearly that you were laid off.The examiner assigned to your claim should not get the sense that the job loss was your fault，in which case you would not be eligible for compensation.So be very careful how you document your job loss.■[K]You can file for unemployment by phone or online.Keep in mind that your claim could take weeks to process.Be sure to stay on top of your claim.Don′t ignore any notices that you may receive from the unemployment office.If you plan on receiving unemployment benefits for a while，be prepared to report regularly on your job search.After all，they expect you to be actively looking for work while you are receiving unemployment benefits.■[L]Assess Your Career Goals.Getting laid off means something different for everyone who experiences it.For some，losing a job is as devastating as heartbreak，and for others it is an escape from a hated profession.No matter the circumstance，now is the time to weigh your options and decide what to do next.Ask yourself these questions to help determine your options：■[M]Do you want to go back to work？ Free time caused by a layoff is a good time to decide whether going back to work is the right option for you.Some people see this as an opportunity to go back to school，spend more time with family or participate in any activity there wasn′t time for previously.Evaluate your finances and your feelings，and choose accordingly.■[N]Do you need job re-training？ Many people find themselves in situations where they′re asked to learn how to use new technology，or they are replaced by someone who already does.Career coach Daisy Swan stresses to her clients that “if you′re not interested in staying up-to-date，then you′ll get left behind.” She also encourages them to get beyond the fear of trying something new because “it is crucial to engage in life-long learning.”■[O]Do you want to remain in the same profession？ Swan suggests making a career wishlist to identify precisely what you′re looking for.Ask yourself what special skills you have and what you would enjoy doing on a daily basis，and you are bound to find new employment options.Nancy Collamer，author of “The Layoff Survival Guide，” also advises making a list of your skills，and then searching for opportunities in the job market.Even if you want to start a new career，you should have realistic prospects to ensure success.When the examiner thinks it is he or her who is responsible for the loss of the job，a layoff may not be compensated with unemployment funds.
