These movies may seem different, but they actually share a lot in common. For starters, they were all made
30、 by an animation studio called Pixar. How can one studio make movies that everyone loves? The secret: Pixar tells stories that audiences of all ages and backgrounds can connect with. The most important part of any Pixar movie is the story itself. GREAT STORYTELLING IS HARD WORK Storytelling is an ar
31、t and a skill. Pixar creators know this. They have put a lot of time and thought into what makes a great story. One Pixar storyboard artist named Emma Coates created a list called “The 22 Rules of Storytelling According to Pixar”. These are the rules that all Pixar 5 stories must follow in order to
32、be called a good story. One rule is that “You admire a character for trying more than for their successes.” In Finding Dory, Dory isnt a perfect character. She finds it hard to remember things. She makes silly mistakes, but never stops trying to find her parents. This makes her the hero of her story
33、. 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, joy, and love are universal. In this way, Pixars stories have the power to sh
34、ow 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 the stories and， more importantly, the feelings in each are universal. Even
35、though weve 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 out our own adventures. ( )56. What is special about Pixar according to the au
36、thor? 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 with us? A. They teach all of us the same lesson. B. They bring us together to wa
37、tch movies. C. Their characters are usually physically similar to us. D. Their characters experience the emotions that we all do. B Is your promotion really necessary? Many workers focus their hopes on climbing the scale of their organizations. The prospect of higher pay helps explain their ambition
38、, 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 they reach their level of incompetence. It makes perfect sens
39、e. 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 strong tendency to promote the best sales people. Convincing
40、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 research then looked at what happened after these supersale
41、speople 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 previously weaker performers. The trick to avoiding this curse
42、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 peoples work may not give you the same degree of satisfaction. 6 Another problem with pursuing frequent promotions is that it turns you into a
43、 supplicant, endlessly in search of favourable feedback from the higherups. This can lead you to lose control of your worklife balance. In Charles Handys new book, 21 Letters On Life And Its Challenges, the experienced management theorist recalls an insight when working for Royal Dutch Shell, an oil
44、 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 greater the demands are likely to be on your time. The chief
45、 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 whole lives to their job and be at the centre of events. It
46、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. C. Incompetent employees tend to have more chances to gain promotions. D.
47、 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 we face without getting promoted. C. To illustrate t
48、he 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 for this passage? A. The Promotion Satisfaction B. The Promotion Curse C. The Promotion Strategies D. The Promotion Prospect C
49、In 2010, the planetary(行星的) defence team at NASA had identified and logged 90 percent of the asteroids(小行星) near Earth measuring 1 km wide. These “nearEarth objects” ， or NEOs, are the size of mountains and include anything within 50 million kilometres of Earths orbit. With an estimated 50 left to log, NASA says none of the 887 it knows about are a significant danger to the planet.
