It is crucial that the U.S.economy return to full speed ahead and continue to be the driving force behind expansion of the global economy. Globalization,or at least the present phase of it,generally is viewed as having started with the end of the Cold war in 1989.And for all its shortcomings,the free flow of goods,services, capital and labor across the borders of the world's trading nations-the process that has come to be called globalization-still offers the best chance to fulfill the dreams of so many of the world's poor. To be sure,globalization has brought with it some of the most dramatic changes of the post-World War ll period.As Cold War political boundaries have faded,cultural differences once again are allowed to become vehicles for division and violence. Globalization's opponents repeatedly have expressed their opposition to what they see as a movement that pays too little attention to the issues of the environment,the depletion of resources and the growing gap between rich and poor.There is no doubt that their grievances are valid. But globalization also has made progress in opening world markets to a growing number of lesser-developed economies.It has called the world's attention to the special problems of poverty among women,to issues of child labor and to the scandalous lack of even the most basic medical services throughout the lesser-developed world. Globalization also has helped open the world's borders,permitting the greatest flow of human migration the world has ever known.Because of global trade agreements,there is more opportunity today for the poor of one country to find work and a better life through immigration. And many immigrants have risked their lives to get into the United States and other developed countries where they now contribute to-and participate in-the global economy. Anti-globalization demonstrators in Seattle,Washington D.C.,London and Genoa attempted to slow down the process of globalization.And now terrorists have tried to kill it. The U.S.business community cannot let this happen.Tomorrow and every day thereafter, we should continue to provide the momentum to help fulfill the promise of globalization. The basis of that promise is the participation in an economy that gives all people of the world something to gain.Only then will we start to get to the heart of the matter.

history to provide the leadership for this mission.Rather than retreat,the forces of globalization should be moved along at a more rapid pace so as to pull into the process more economies in the lesser-developed world. At present,the United States makes up about 8 percent of the world population but consumes almost 70 percent of the world's resources.In view of the fact that more than half of the world's population lives on less than s3 a day-and half of those people live on S1 a day-it is not difficult to understand how the rest of world could view us negatively.

Imagine how much people could accomplish if they spent less time sleeping. For many high school students, getting enough rest in not a priority . A National Sleep Foundation survey confirms that teens are staying up too late at night, usually getting 7 hours of sleep instead of the rccommended 9 hours. Although teenagers’ internal clocks are partially to blame for not sleeping earlier, many students lose sleep because of school

Schools should allow students ample time for sleep,taking jobs,sports,and other extracurricular activities into consideration. Students who are extremely busy and lose sleep as a result should not have to drop their activities in order to get more rest.With colleges becoming increasingly competitive,it is unreasonable for students to be forced to choose between sleeping and excelling In addition to interfering with academic success,lack of sleep also affects a person's safety. Almost 1/2 of the 100 000 annual sleep-related car accidents in the US involve people between the ages of 15 24. There are a number of solutions that high schools can choose from.One by Jenny Ning option is starting school at a later time.A later schedule is more appropriate for teenagers' biological clocks.Although it may create more expenses for the school,the change would be well worth it.Research has shown that students who get more sleep are happier,healthier,more productive,and carn higher grades than those who suffer from sleep deprivation.Students who get enough sleep are also more attentive and less likely to daydream or fall asleep in class. A second option is offering study hall as an elective(选修课程).Since this gives students time to do homework of take a nap,it creates more free time after school. A third alternative is for some teachers to alter their teaching methods a bit by giving only important,necessary homework.Quite a few teachers assign busy work,which doesn't teach students much but instead wastes their time.It is also helpful if teachers communicate with each other to plan out their test schedules. High schools should not negatively interfere with the amount of sleep teenagers get.Instead, schools should take steps to benefit the lives of students by allowing them enough time to rest. As Fran Lebowitz said,"Life is something to do when you can't get to sleep." 3. The French One thing the French do well-probably because it's instinctive and they don't need to think about it-is live.The essence of French savoir-vivre is simplicity.Everyday things count: eating,drinking,talking,dressing,shopping.Get in the mood:Daily rituals are meant to be enjoyed.Food is the best example.The French don't like rushing their meal.They plan them in advance,painstakingly prepare them,look forward to them over an aperitif,admire the loving presentation of each dish,savor each mouthful.The pace is unhurried and the wine flows

Although everything comes from the brain,men seem to separate their thoughts from their feelings.They place all their thinking in the brain,and all their feelings in the heart.This can clearly be seen in the expressions describing the brain and the phrases created for the heart. The brain is too complex and mysterious,too difficult to understand.But the heart is a simple muscle that pumps blood through our system.And today doctors have had some success in removing a msn's heart and putting another one in its place.Yet our language for the brain is limited and unimaginative when you consider the great wealth of expressions that speak for the heart. There are more words to describe a poor brain than a good one.What more can be said after saying that a man has good brain,or a sharp one or a great one?But just consider the large number of colorful phrases for a poor brain-pinhead,fathead,thickhead,knucklehead, noodlehead,dimwit,nitwit,idiot -there are dozens of them.Yes,our language is very negative when we forget that everything comes from the brain,emotion as well as thought. But we forget that fact and center all our feelings in the heart.We have reared a vast wealth of special phrases to express these feelings.They cover every and of emotion.They fill the pages of the literature of the world. What is love,the poets tell us,but two hearts that beat as one.A man of courage is "stout-hearted,""brave-hearted"and"great-hearted."A gentle person is "tender-hearted"or "soft-hearted."Cruelty comes from a hard heart-affection from a warm heart,never a cold one. A good man,one who means well,"has his heart in the right place."While a fearful man often finds "his heart in his mouth"or "sinking to his feet." Well known to us are such words as"heartache.""heart-break.""heart-to-heart talk." "straight form the heart."One poet said that the heart"has two chambers,"one for joy and one for sorrow.And the Bible advises us to give good care to the heart.For out of it "come all the issues of life." A man's pulse comes from the steady bear of the heart sending blood to every corner of the body.And when you say that you are getting the feel of a man's pulse,you mean that you are learning more about him than just his health.You are getting to know everything about him-his intentions and purposes.

What is love, the poets tell us, but two hearts that beat as one. A man of courage is “stout-hearted,” “brave-hearted” and “great-hearted.” A gentle person is “tender-hearted” or “soft-hearted.” Cruelty comes from a hard heart —affection from a warm heart, never a cold one. A good man, one who means well, “has his heart in the right place.” While a fearful man often finds “his heart in his mouth” or “sinking to his feet.” Well known to us are such words as “heartache.” “heart-break. ” “heart-to-heart talk.” “straight form the heart.” One poet said that the heart “has two chambers, ” one for joy and one for sorrow. And the Bible advises us to give good care to the heart. For out of it “come all the issues of life.” A man’s pulse comes from the steady bear of the heart sending blood to every corner of the body. And when you say that you are getting the feel of a man’s pulse, you mean that you are learning more about him than just his health. You are getting to know everything about him-his intentions and purposes. Many suspect and distrust people who “wear their hearts on their sleeves.” who openly

show their feelings,their affection and devotion.Many feel that one's private feelings should be kept private and not be carried openly for all to see.People who carry their feelings on their sleeves-it is widely believed-do not feel deeply and are not sincere.Their feelings come too easily,too cheaply. 5. Suit Is Best by William Hazlitt The proper force of words lies not in the words themselves,but in their application.A word may be a fine sounding word,of an unusual length,and very imposing from its learning and novelty,and yet in the connection in which it is introduced may be quite pointless and irrelevant It is not pompl or pretension,but the adaptation of the expression to the idea,that clenches a writer's meaning:as it is not the size or glossiness of the materials,but their being fitted each to its place,that gives strength to the arch;or as the pegs and nails are as necessary to the support of the building as the larger timbers,and more so than the mere showy,unsubstantial ornaments. I hate anything that occupies more space than it is worth.I hate to see a load of bandboxes2 go along the street,and I hate to see a parcel of big words without anything in them.A person who dews not deliberately dimples of all his thoughts alike in cumbrous3 draperies and flimsy4 disguises may strike out twenty varieties of familiar everyday language,each coming somewhat nearer to the feeling he wants to convey,and at last not hit upon that particular and only one which may be said to be identical with the exact impression in his mind.This would seem to show that Mr.Cobalt is hardly right in saying that the first word that occurs is always the best.It may be a very good one;and yet a better may present itself on reflection or from time to time.It may be suggested naturally,however,and spontaneously,from a fresh and lively conception of the subject. o Healing Power of Laughter (No joke -guffavs1,giggles2,chortles3 and snickers4 could be the prescription you need. 不是玩笑一一哄堂大笑、咯咯傻笑、纵声欢笑、偷偷窃笑正是你需要的药方。) Ever heard the one about the doctor who gave his patient six months to live?When the man couldn't pay his bill,the doctor gave him another six months.

for you,says William Fry,professor emeritus5 at Stanford University and pioneer in laughter research.It increases blood flow and contracts abdominal6 muscles.A hundred belly laughs is the ten minutes on a rowing machine,according to Fry. But the benefits go beyond a workout.The most astonishing evidence of laughter's power comes from a 1997 study of 48 heart-attack patients.Halfwatched comedic shows for 30 minutes every day:the rest served as controls.After a year,ten patients in the control group had suffered repeat heart attacks,compared with only two in the group that watched the shows. "Laughter is a powerful antidote7 to stress."Says laughter expert Lee Berk.In earlier research.Berk showed that watching a humorous video decreases levels of two key stress hormones that can cause irregular8 heart rhythms9 which may lead to heart attacks.Indeed, heart disease patients are often given drugs10 called beta-blockers specifically to block these hormones."Laughter can do exactly the same thing,"Says Berk.."And it can be a lot more fun." Can a good laugh help patients get well?In a landmark11 experiment at the University of California,called Rx Laughter,scientists plan to test the effect of laughter in children with serious illnesses,including cancer.Early results suggest that humorous videos help kids handle uncomfortable or painful procedures Justin Ybarra,13,already knows that.He was in considerable pain when he woke up form surgery-until Bill Marx,son of the legendary Harpo Marx and a volunteer for Rx Laughter, appeared at his beside,Marx told jokes,made faces and pranced12 around the hospital room.

Time is treated as if it were an almost tangible entry. In their language, there are words associated with it: time can be budgeted, saved, wasted, stolen, killed, and cut. Americans also charge for time. It is a precious commodity to them. Many people have a rather actue sense of the shortness of each lifetime. One the sands have run out of a person’s hourglass, they can not be replaced. They want every minute to count. Since people value time highly, they resent someone else “wasting” it beyond a certain

courtesy point.This affects the matter of patience.In the American system of values,patience is not a high priority.Many of them have what might be called"a short fuse".They begin to splutter and move restlessly about if they fell time is slipping away without some return-be this in terms of pleasure,work value or rest. Normally Americans do not assess their visitors in relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talk;much less do they take them out for dinner,while they develop a pre-business sense of trust and rapport Rapport to most of them is less important than performance.They seek out credentials of past performance rather than evaluating a business colleague through social courtesies.Since they generally assess and probe performance rather than socially,they start talking business very quickly. Most Americans live in time segments by engagement calendars.These calendars may be divided into intervals as short as fifteen minutes.They often "give"a person two or three (or more)segments of their calendar,but in the business world they almost always have other appointments,following hard on the heels of whatever they are doing.Time is therefore always ticking in their inner ear. 8.
