You know what it’s like．You've just arrived in Toronto after a long flight, and all you really want to do is to lie down and relax in your hotel room．But first you have to make a few quick notes for tomorrow's meeting, then check your e-mails, and perhaps print out a few things．And you need to make a few local telephone calls, and one call home to your family．
And what do you usually get? Your desk is just about big enough for a cup of coffee; there's no desk lamp; the stationery （办公用品） is a couple of sheets of headed notepaper; and a pen doesn't work．Printing has to be arranged with the Reception, and when you try to use your cell phone you find that it won't work in Canada．

Throughout my 41 years at General Electric, I've experienced a lot．In the media, I've gone from prince to pig and back again．And I've been called many things．
In the early days, some called me a crazy, wild man．When I became CEO two decades ago, Wall Street asked, "Jack who?"
When I tried to make GE more competitive by cutting back our workforce in the early 1980s, the media called me "Neutron Jack．" When they learned we were focused on values and culture at GE, people asked if "Jack has gone soft．" I've been No．1 or No．2 Jack, Services Jack, Global Jack, and, in more recent years．Six Sigma Jack and e-Business Jack．
When we made an effort to acquire Honeywell in October 2000, and I agreed to stay on through the transition （ 过渡期 ） , some thought of me as the Long-in-the-Tooth Jack hanging on by his fingertips to his CEO job．
Those characterizations said less about me and a lot more about the stage our company went through．Truth is, down deep, I've never really changed much from the boy my mother raised in Salem, Massachusetts．
When I started on this journey in 1981 , standing before Wall Street analysts for the first time at New York's Pierre Hotel, I said I wanted GE to become " the most competitive enterprise on earth．" My objective was to put a small-company spirit in a big-company body, to build an organization out of an old-line industrial company that would be more high-spirited, more adaptable, and more flexible than companies that are one-fiftieth our size．I said then that I wanted to create a company " where people dare to try new things ?where people know that only the limits of their creativity and drive, their own standards of personal excellence, will be the ceiling on how far and how fast they move．"
I've put my mind, my heart, and my courage into that journey every day of the 40-plus years I've been lucky enough to be a part of GE．
According to the first two paragraphs, the author ______．

As the author sees it, the many nicknames of him indicate ______．

According to the author, GE in 1981 ______．

Sixteen-year-old Karlos Dearman’s future is looking much brighter than he might previously have imagined. “I love bikes, but I’ve never thought I’d end up with working with them,” he says. “This program has changed my life.”
Karlos is learning to refurbish (翻新) old bicycles in the workshop (车间) of ReCycle Bikes, an independent non-profit bike project in Sheffield. It provides training chances for young people aged 14 to 16 with the help of the local government, particularly those struggling in mainstream education or rejected from school.
“It’s about engaging young people with education and youth training by teaching them work and life skills,” explains Des Pearce, workshop training manager. “These young people have so much potential, but often don’t realize it.”
Founded in 2001, ReCycle Bikes repairs bicycles donated by the public, which are sold for ￡20 after refurbished. Abandoned bikes supplied by the government make sure a steady flow of bikes, but a recently formed partnership with Sheffield University should improve the further development.
“The student population presents a large and ready market,” says Pearce. “So we approached the university last year and offered to host bike sales on the campus (校园) . They thought it was a great idea, and agreed to provide us with more support. This means we can train young people to repair extra 500 bikes over three years.”
Having set up ReCycle Bikes on his own, Pearce now has the staff and resources to track the profession development of those who have passed through his workshop. “But we are planning exit interviews with the young people to make sure what they plan to do, and these will allow us to check on their progress,” says Pearce.
That most of the teenagers enjoy the work is, according to Pearce, easily explained. “Most kids have ridden a bike and know how to oil a chain or mend a flat tyre. As low-cost transport, cycling gives the young and old a sense of freedom and independence, and the effect on their well-being is big. Add to that a growing concern for the environment, and it’s no surprise that bike sales are on the increase.”   
From the passage, we know ReCycle Bikes ______.

 
How did ReCycle Bikes run at the beginning?

 
ReCycle Bikes has formed a partnership with Sheffield University because _____.

 
According to Pearce, why do most of the teenagers enjoy the work?

Did you see American figure skater, Jeremy Abbott, crash to the ice during the short program at the Sochi Olympics, rolling into the wall, clutching his side in pain. Ten seconds later, he got up and continued his skate—despite the pain, embarrassment and fear. All I could think was: this kid’s got courage. In business we have a word for it—resilience, the ability to gain strengths and confidence from overcoming unpleasant events.
However, opposite examples appeared in Sochi Olympics as well. For them, failure is someone else’s fault, because they do not accept personal responsibility. Therefore, they have to pay a high price for this attitude. After years of studying failure, I have learned one thing: modesty and open-mindedness in the face of mistakes is the single best thing you can do to improve results. Everyone fails, but not everyone recovers from failure. The key is to learn from it rather than get beaten by it.
The good news is that each of us has the potential to live a resilient life on and off the job. It may be difficult, but that just makes it all the more powerful and important. If you believe the above paragraph to be true, then you’re probably more resilient than you think you are. It takes confidence to be resilient but that too much confidence is a killer is so true of leadership. For example, Ron Johnson, the ill-fated CEO of JC Penney, was so stubborn that he completely missed all sorts of signals from employees and customers and instead listened to all those who agreed with him, which failed his strategy. Bouncing back from failure requires that you recognize something has gone wrong, and you were the one who made it happen.
The challenge of resilience is not just about our work. When parents help their kids deal with every challenging situation, they are doing an unhelpful action to their children. Parents want to protect their kids from failure, but doing so takes away the opportunity from them to practice not
just a life skill but an essential work skill. When self-esteem becomes more important than results, we are accidentallytraining young people to become less adaptable, not more.
Resilience is not just about getting up off the floor, but also being ready for whatever comes next, even when you don’t know what it is. Failures and setbacks are no longer unusual events, but regular features of a dynamic, competitive and highly demanding work environment. Getting up to finish your skate is no longer optional.
The example of Jeremy Abbott shows that one should ______.

According to the author, what can best build up resilience?

Which of the following examples shows us resilience?

Which might be the best title for the passage?

What Should You Do When an Earthquake Hits?
If you find the ground shaking beneath your feet，there's an international consensus on how you should act. Earthquake safety boils down to three basic steps：
1. Drop to the ground.
2. Take cover by getting under a sturdy deck or table.
3: Hold on to it until the shaking stops.
If there isn't a table or desk near you，drop to the ground in an inside corner of the building and cover your head and neck with your hands and arms.  Do not try to run to another room just to get under a table.
If you are in bed，hold on and stay there，protecting your head with a pillow.  You are less likely to be injured staying where you are: Broken glass on the floor has caused injury to those who have rolled to the floor or tried to get to doorways.
If you are outdoors，move to a clear area if you can safely do so；avoid power lines，trees，signs, buildings，vehicles, and other hazards: If you're at the movies ox a sports game，stay at your seat and protect your head and neck with your arms.  Don't try to leave until the shaking is over,  Then walk out slowly watching for anything that could fall in the aftershocks.
If you're driving a car，pull over to the side of the road，stop，and set the parking brake. Avoid overpasses, bridges, power lines，signs and other hazards. Stay inside the vehicle until the shaking is over: If a power line falls on the car，stay inside until a trained person removes the wire.
If you're by the shore，drop，cover and hold on until the shaking stops.  Estimate how long the shaking lasts. If severe shaking lasts 20 seconds or more, immediately evacuate to high ground as a tsunami(海啸）might have been generated by the earthquake: 1Vlove inland 3 kilometers（2 miles）or to land that is at least 30 meters（100 feet) above sea level immediately. Don't wait for officials to issue a warning. Walk quickly，rather than drive，to avoid traffic．debris and other hazards.
If you live downstream for a dam，you should know flood-zone information and have prepared an evacuation plan. Latastrophie failure is unlikely，but dams can fail during major earthquakes.
The main point is to try not to move and to immediately protect yourself as best as possible where you are. Earthquakes occur without any warning and may be so violent that you cannot run or crawl；you therefore will most likely be knocked to the ground where you happen to be.  You will never know if the initial jolt will turn out to be start of the big one.
In addition，studies of injuries and deaths caused by earthquakes in the US over the last several decades indicate you are much more likely to be injured by falling or flying objects（TVs，lamps，glass，book cases，etc.）than to die in a collapsed building. "Drop，Cover，and Hold on" offers the best overall level of protection.

Theme: ______ to be taken during an earthquake: Drop,Cover and Hold on

When you are indoors ● Get under a desk/table or drop to the ground in an inside comer with your head ______ with your hands and arms. ● Don't move to other places, _______ you might get injured by broken glass.   When you are outdoors ● Moving to a clear area and _____ staying near power lines are recommended. ● You are ______ not to leave until the shaking is over.   When you are driving ● You should _____ over to the roadside and keep away from dangerous places like overpasses , bridges or power lines. When you are by the shore ● You should walk inland to a higher place to ____ from a possible Tsunami. When you live downstream ● You should _______ a plan for necessary evacuation if you live downstream from a dam.     Conclusion: You should stay ______ you are and protect yourself in an earthquake, because you are _______ likely to die in a collapsed building than to be injured by falling or flying objects.
