What about Finding Nemo? Did you watch The
29、 credible? Thee moviess may see dfrertr but they atally share a lot in cmom. For sartes they were al made by an animation studio clledl Pixar. How can one studio make movies that everyone love? The secret Pixar tell stories that audiences of all ages and backgrounds connect with. The most important
30、part of any Pixar movie is the story itself. GREAT STORYTELLING Is HARD woRK Sortelling is an art and a sill; Pixar creators know this. They have put a lot of time and thought into what makes a great story. One Pixar soryboard arist named Emma Coates created a list cllel“The 22 Rules of stoelli Acco
31、ring to Pixar,“ These are the rules that al Pixar stories must follow in order to be clled a good story. One rule is that“You admire a character for trying more than for their sucesses“ In Finding Dory, Dory isnt a perfect charactr. She finds it hard to remember things. She makes silly mistakes, but
32、 never stops trying to find her parents. This makes her the hero of her story. If you have ever tried hard for something, you can relate to Dory. GREAT STORYTELLING CONNECTS US Why are the stories that Pixar tells important? They get the audience to feel the story. Feelings of anger, fear, sadness,
33、joy, and love are universal. In this way, Pixars stories have the power to show audience members that we are more alike than different. Because we can connect with the characters emotions, we can connect with each other. The stories that Pixar tells are very creative. No two movies are the same! But
34、 the stories and, more importantly, the feelings in each are universal Even though we ve never traveled the ocean with Dory, fought evil villains (恶棍) with the Incredibles, or played guitar with Miguel, the power of these stories inspires us. They push us to better understand each other and to seek
35、out our own adventures. 56. What is special about Pixar according to the author? 6 A. It makes the movies very quickly. B. It creates all different types of movies. C. It creates stories that touch all the audience. D. It makes a lot of money from their movies. 57. How do Pixar films connect vith us
36、? A. They teach all of us the same lesson. B. They bring us together to watch movies. C. Their carecers are ualy pysally similar to us. D. Their canctrs epcrience the cmoiois haet welldl B Is your promotion really necessary? Many workers focus their hopes on climbing the scale of their organizations
37、. The prospect of higher pay helps explain their ambition, but so does the greater status that comes with each successive (连续的) title. This climb can often end in disappointment. The Peter Principle, developed by Laurence Peter for a book published in 1969, states that workers get promoted until the
38、y reach their level of incompetence. It makes perfect sense. If you are good at your job, you rise up the career ladder. Eventually, there will be a job you are not good at and at that point your career will stop. There is another problem with chasing the promotion fantasy. Many companies have a str
39、ong tendency to promote the best sales people. Convincing others to buy goods and services is a useful skill, requiring charm and persistence. But, as the authors point out, these are not the same capabilities as the strategic planning and administrative competence needed to lead a sales team. The r
40、esearch then looked at what happened after these super -salespeople were promoted. Their previous sales performance was actually a negative indicator of managerial success. The sales growth of workers assigned to the star sellers was 7.5 percentage points lower than for those whose managers were pre
41、viously weaker performers. The trick to avoiding this curse is to stick to what you like doing. If you enjoy teaching, dont be a headmaster or college principal. If you like writing articles and columns, editing other people s work may not give you the same degree of satisfaction. Another problem wi
42、th pursuing frequent promotions is that it turns you into a supplicant, endlessly in search of favourable feedback from the higher-ups. This can lead you to lose control of your work-life balance. In Charles Handys new book, 21 Letters On Life And Its Challenges, the experienced management theorist
43、recalls an insight when working for Royal Dutch Shell, an oil giant.“In exchange for the promise of financial security and guaranteed work, I had sold my time to complete strangers with my permission for them to use that time for their own purposes,“ he writes. The higher up the ladder you go, the g
44、reater the demands are likely to be on your time. The chief executive will expect you to be available at weekends; after all, that is why you get paid the big bucks. So that shiny promotion may not be for everyone. Beware the curse of overwork and dissatisfaction. Some people like to devote their wh
45、ole lives to their job and be at the centre of events. It is best to let them get on with it. 58. What can we learn about“The Peter Principle? A. Peoples careers are easily spoiled by unrealistic expectations. B. There are to some degree certain ceilings in peoples career paths. 7 C. Incompetent emp
46、loyees tend to have more chances to gain promotions. D. People dont necessarily get promoted by virtue of their competence. 59. Why is Charles Handys new book 21 Letters On Life And Its Challenges mentioned? A. To put forward useful suggestions on how to get promoted. B. To show how many challenges
47、we face without getting promoted. C. To illustrate the serious consequences of the pursuit of promotion. D. To prove the economic security brought along by the promotion. 60. Which of the following might be the best title of this passage? A. The Promotion SatisfactionB. The Promotion Curse C. The Pr
48、omotion StrategiesD. The Promotion Prospect C In 2010, the planetary (行星的) defence team at NASA had identified and logged 90 per cent of the asteroids (小行星) near Earth measuring 1km wide. These“near-Barth objects“, or NEOs, are the size of mountains and include anything within 50 million kilometers
49、of Earths orbit. With an estimated 50 left to log, NASAsays none of the 887 it knows about are a significant danger to the planet. Now NASA is working towards logging some of the smaller asteroids, those measuring 140 metres wide or more. Of the 25,000 estimated asteroids of this size, so far about 8,000 have been logged, leaving 17,000 unaccounted for. Considering that a 19-metre asteroid that exploded above the city of Chelyabinsk in Russia in 2013 injured 1,200 people, these middle-sized life. asteroids would be
