As the economy begins to recover, salary increases should do the same.
In the past few years, employers have raised workers’ salaries by about 4 percent per year--except for 2009, when the figure dropped to a historically low 2.1 percent, according to a survey of World at Word. About one-third of companies froze raises altogether.
For 2010, World at Work’s survey projects an average salary increase budget of 2.7 percent, a figure that shows the situation has improved but the job market is still weak. Between 10 percent and 15 percent of companies said they would freeze raises--far fewer than in 2009, but still more than in most years.
How can you get a raise? Avalos and others offer the following tips:
* Do your job well. This means producing high-quality work, of course, but also keeping the big picture in mind.
“It really comes down to positioning yourself as a high performer, somebody who is aware of business goals and helps the company meet their goals as an organization”, Avalos said
* Be visible. When times are tough, some workers think. “I’m going to hunker down and hope that nobody notices me, because I don’t want to be on a layoff list,” said Richard Phillips, owner of Advantage Career Solutions. This is a mistake, because you’re unlikely to get a raise if no one knows what you have accomplished. “If anything, what you want to do is be more visible.”
* Make your boss’s life easier. This means everything from having a good attitude to taking on extra tasks. If you don’t know how you can help your boss, ask.
* Ask for a raise. Talk to your boss and present your case: Here’s what I’ve done, here’s how it fits with the company’s goals, and here is why I think it’s worth a salary increase. In some cases, even if your company has an official raise freeze, you can get a raise if you make good case.
If the answer is no -- or if you’re not ready to ask directly -- Phillips suggests asking, “What would you like to see from me that would put me in line for a raise?”
A question like this can improve your standing. “Just asking the question says to the boss, ‘I’m thinking about where I fit in here, what I can do,” Phillips said, “That in and of itself has value.”

A. novel B. science fiction
C. magazine D. biography
Employers have raised workers’ salaries by about _______percent in 2007.
A. 4 B. 2.1 C. 2.7 D. 10

A. have your job done well B. be visible everywhere as possible as you can
C. ask your boss for a raise directly D. change your job

C. producing high-quality work will surely help you get a raise

People are overweight for many reasons, the most
important one of which is that they eat the wrong foods, get the wrong types of
calories per meal, and they also eat meals at the wrong time each day. Food is
more powerful than any weight loss pill, because the food that you eat can
either make you thin or fat. This is true because your body is like an engine,
and it only needs certain foods at certain intervals(间隔)each day. Low-calorie Diets Do Not
Work
The reason people cannot lose
weight by starving themselves is that their metabolism(新陈代谢)will detect any major drop in
calories and it will then adjust(调整)itself by burning
fewer calories each day. That is the reason why you can eat 1,000 calories per
day and not lose any weight, while your friends can eat 2,500 calories per day
and not gain any weight.
Low-fat Diets Do Not Work
Many people in today’s
society are buying mostly low- fat or non-fat food at the grocery store.
Everybody knows how much fat is inside the food they buy. However, people are
getting fatter than ever before by doing this. They are not losing weight by
changing to this low fat lifestyle.
Losing weight has nothing to
do with these things. One of the most important things you can do to control
your weight is to eat the proper foods, such as fruit and vegetables, eat them
at the right time, and exercise every day. If people make this a habit, they
will lose weight.
1.What is the main reason why people are overweight?
A．They eat the wrong foods at the wrong time. B．They eat food with lots of calories. C．They don’t take any weight loss pills. D．They burn many calories every day.
2.The article is written in order to _______.
A．tell readers not to buy low-fat or non-fat food B．tell readers how to lose weight C．tell readers about an important scientific discovery D．call on people to lose weight and stay healthy
3.To realize the aim of your weight loss plan, you
should ________.
a. do exercise every day
b. eat meals at the right time
c. eat fruits and vegetables
d. eat low-fat or sweet food
e. eat the proper foods at each meal
A．a, b, c, d B．a, b, d, e C．a, c, d, e D．a, b, c, e

Are your children liked by their teachers? All parents want their children to impress(给...的印象) their teachers and succeed in school. You can get your children to impress their teachers by following these easy steps.
Make sure they’re prepared. Teachers are impressed by children coming to school prepared to learn. Make sure they have everything they need—pencils textbooks, erasers and so on.
Require them to be active in class. Teach them to ask teachers questions when they don’t understand something. Some children think teachers are bothered by questions, but most teachers are impressed when children take the initiative(采取主动) in asking questions. They should take part in class discussions, giving their opinions politely.
Keep your children healthy. If your children are tired and hungry, they won’t be ready to learn. Children need at least 8 to 10 hours of sleep per night. Feed your children a solid breakfast and prepare a healthy lunch. Provide them with fruit and other healthy foods—apples or bananas are better for them than cookies.
Make sure that your children do their homework. If they really don’t understand it, discuss it with them patiently. Don’t help them do their homework. Teachers can always tell who it is that does the work.
Teach your children good manners and habits. Children need to arrive at the school punctually, and be polite to their teachers and classmates. Parents need to teach these skills at home.
