13.My father's family is not a musical family.They are a family of words.My brother has my father's dark hair,his love of a good argument.I take after my mother.From her I inherited a curious nature,a sense of adventure,bright red hair.I did not,contrary to her hopes,inherit a talent for the piano.That fact was established beyond doubt after unsuccessful attempts to draw music from me.
The piano lessons began when I was four.My mother was convinced that I would be a child Mozart.She found the ideal teacher-Madame Oblenka,a strict Russian woman,whose pursed lips were enough to frighten a wild horse into submission.Madame Oblenka,who expected a little Mozart,was not very delighted to find a little girl banging her fists(拳头) on the keys.
I tried to please her."Feel the music,"she urged.I"felt"it and winced(退避) my ears-for what is more unpleasant than a series of wrong notes played continuously?She"felt"my music,too,which is why she always left with an angrier expression than when she came.
Once,when I was ten,I managed to record one of my own rehearsals(练习).In order to escape my practice sessions,I would close myself behind the door of the piano room,put on the tape recording,and read until the tape had finished.That method worked for a week,until my mother began to wonder why I always missed the same B-sharp.She knocked on the door,and,receiving no answer,came in to check on me and found that I had fallen asleep while the tape of my performance played on and on.
I was twelve when my parents finally acknowledged that my hidden talent was not about to emerge(显现) any time soon.My mother,refusing to admit defeat,told me to pick another instrument."Choose anything you want,Honey,"she said,assuming that freedom of choice would inspire devotion.I thought long and hard and chose the drums.My parents,sensitive to noise,would be less than overjoyed by a daily bombardment of playing.I imagined my father in his study,cotton wads in his ears.
I worked my way through several other instruments before my mother hit on another idea.Maybe I wasn't meant to be an instrumentalist.Realizing that drama might be more suited to my talents,Mom took me to a drama teacher.However,he put me backstage,painting scenery.Once I recovered from my sense of injury,I realized the wisdom of his choice.I loved the active,practical backstage world,and I discovered that I had a knack for constructing and painting.I loved the challenge of taking our scanty(贫乏的) supplies and using them to make something beautiful.Imagining a scene and then seeing it emerge before me-this,to me,was close to magic.
I'm a sculptor now,and every day I experience afresh the joy of being fully absorbed in the act of artistic creation.It's a wonderful,blissful(乐而忘忧) feeling.I realize that my parents,in their misguided attempts to interest me in music,were trying to give me this feeling.And now I feel grateful.Perhaps they went about it in the wrong way,but their hearts were in the right place.

66.Madame Oblenka always felt angry becauseD.
A.the author was too young to play the piano well
B.the author often pointed out the wrong notes of her
C.the author kept banging on the keys unconsciously
D.the author's performance was far from satisfactory
67.Which of the following best reveals the author's attitude towards piano practice?C
A.She tried to make the piano teacher pleased.
B.She recorded her performance for improvement.
C.She played the recording instead of practising.
D.She repeated the same mistake in practising.
68.Why did the author choose the drums as a musical instrument?B
A.She was eager to free herself from piano lessons.
B.She was reluctant to play an instrument.
C.She was confident of handling them.
D.She was fond of beating drums.

A.devoted and stubborn  
B.encouraging and independent
C.helpful and considerate  
D.hardworking and generous

B.the ordinary backstage work can help one succeed
C.you can only get better at something if you practice

3."Happiness Advantage"Effect
In July 2010Burt's Bees,a personal-care products company,was going through enormous change as it began a global expansion into 19new countries.In this kind of high-pressure situation,many leaders bother their assistants with frequent meetings or flood their in-boxes with urgent demands.In doing so,managers lift everyone's anxiety level,which activates the part of the brain that processes threats and steals resources from the prefrontal cortex ( 大脑皮层),which is responsible for effective problem solving.
Burt's Bees's then-CEO,John Wolfgang,took a different approach.Each day,he'd send out an e-mail praising a team member for work related to global marketing.He'd interrupt his own presentations to remind his managers to talk with their teams about the company's values.He asked me to further a three-hour session with employees on happiness in the course of the expansion effort.
As one member of the senior team told me a year later,Wolfgang's emphasis on developing positive leadership kept his managers actively involved and loyal as they successfully transformed the company into a global one.
That outcome shouldn't surprise us.Research shows that when people work with a positive mind-set (思维模式),performance on nearly every level-productivity,creativity,involvement-improves.Yet happiness is perhaps the most misunderstood driver of performance.For one,mostpeople believe that success comes before happiness."Once I get a promotion,I'll be happy,"they think.Or,"Once I hit my sales target,I'll feel great."But because success is a moving target-as soon as you hit your target,you raise it again-the happiness that results from success does not last long.
In fact,it works the other way around:People who have a positive mind-set perform better in the face of challenge.I call this the"happiness advantage"-every business outcome shows improvement when the brain is positive.I've observed this effect in my role as a researcher and lecturer in 48countries on the connection between employee happiness and success.And I'm not alone:In an analysis of 225academic studies,researchers found strong evidence of cause-and-effect relationship between life satisfaction and successful business outcomes. Another common misunderstanding is that our genetics,our environment,or a combination of the two determines how happy we are.To be sure,both factors have an impact.But one's general sense of well-being is surprisingly unstable.The habits you form,the way you interact with colleagues,how you think about stress-all these can be managed to increase your happiness and  your chances of success.ccess.
