　　The clock tower of the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, has become one of the main symbols of London．It rises up nearly 100 m to a golden point above the clock and a 13-ton bell．The sound of the bell, which you can hear at the beginning of many television and radio programs, has become well-known throughout the nation．No visit to London is complete without a look at the Tower of London, in the eastern part of the city．After Big Ben, the Tower may be London's most visited tourist spot．

　　Sightseeing in London is great, but it can get ________．So the best way to start the day is to fill up on an English breakfast．For starters, have an egg, bacon, sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms, black pudding and fired bread．Then finish off with toast and jam, and a large pot of tea．You can buy an English breakfast in nearly every hotel, and many restaurants and cafes．

　　When I asked my daughter which item she would keep：the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said,“the phone．”Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual, because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology．

　　Point 1．The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic．My daughter comes home from school at 4∶00 p.m.and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day．If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?

　　Point 2．The mobile phone means that we are never alone．“The mobile saved my life,”says Crystal Johnston．She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipto．Trapped inside, she managed to that brought the ambulance to her rescue．

　　Point 3．The mobile removes our secrets．It allows the market manager of Hana Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales stalls all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went．

　　Point 4．The telephone separates us．Antonella Bramante in Rome says,“We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window．It was easy to get his number．We were so near－but we didn't meet for the first two weeks!”

　　Point 5．The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives．Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously(同时)on chat lines(At least my daughter does．I wouldn't know what to talk about．)．We can talk across the world．We can even talk to astronauts(if you know any)while they're space walking．And, with the phone line booked up to the computer, we can access the Internet, the biggest library on the earth．

　　Certainly dustmen prefer to be known as“Refuse Collection and Disposal Officers”．You may think that this is rather silly, and that it is better to call a spade．But dustmen can be just as sensitive as people of any other occupations, though we must admit that their job is not the most romantic one in the world．We often take dustmen for granted．Perhaps because they usually come very early in the morning, before most people are up, we are inclined to forget that they exist．Our dustbins are emptied regularly, but we rarely stop to think about the men who do this．However, it is one of the most important jobs in the world, and when there are no dustmen ________, the general public soon becomes aware that something is wrong．

　　Recently, the dustmen of England went on strike for higher wages．During the first few days it was regarded as a joke．For some reason, jokes have always been made about dustmen, and some people thought this strike was very amusing．But when the first two weeks had passed, and the dustbins were overflowing in nearly every backyard in the country, the joke did not seem so funny any more．As the strike continued, people could not bear the accumulation of rubbish around their dustbins, and they looked for other places in which to get rid of it．Even when the strike was over, and the wages dispute had been settled, it took several weeks for the country to get cleaned up completely, as so much rubbish had accumulated．Perhaps now the English people appreciate the work of their dustmen rather more highly, and won't take them for granted any more．

We usually find the dustbins clean, ignoring the doers．

　　Every year in the United States about 200,000 people are hospitalized and 36,000 die from the flu．While colds won't kill you, they can weaken your immune(免疫的)system．We can't promise you'll never get hit with another cold or suffer the flu, but you can increase your probability of staying well in these ways．

　　●Wash your hands often．The Naval Health Research Center conducted a study of 40,000 people who were ordered to wash their hands five times a day．These people cut their incidence of respiratory(呼吸的)illnesses by 45 percent．

　　●Run your toothbrush through the microwave on high for 10 seconds to kill germs that can cause colds and other illnesses．You think it gets your teeth clean－and it does．

　　●Get a flu shot every fall．The Centers for Disease Control recommends flu shots for anyone 50 years old or older．Also, people who work or live with a high-risk person should ________ so they don't spread the flu．Of course, anyone who just wants to avoid the flu should also get one．

　　●Stop blaming yourself when things go wrong at work．Believe it or not, blaming yourself makes you more likely to catch a cold!At least, that's what researchers found when they studied more then 200 workers over three months．Researchers expect such attitudes make people more stressed on the job, and stress, as you know, can challenge your immune system．

　　●Leave the windows in your house open a crack in winter．Not all of them but one or two in the rooms in which you spend the most time．A bit of fresh air will do wonders for chasing out germs．

　　Successful people always have a dream．They dream big dreams and then show great courage to do things that others say cannot be done．

　　Your dreams form the foundation of success．Many people have long forgotten the dreams they used to have when they were kids．As they grow older, they are simply to catch up with their work activities so that they fail to discover what they really want to pursue in life．

　　To get you back on track to pursue your dreams, follow these steps：

　　Learn to dream again：We are born to dream．But we hear of teachers calling in school：“Stop dreaming and pay attention in class!”Parents, too, have shouted,“Stop dreaming and get on with your homework!”In the end, many do get“realistic”and give up their dreams in time．

　　Dream big dreams：Never set mental boundaries on what you are able to achieve．Dreams are free anyway as long as you are dreaming, you might as well dream big．Many people cannot realize their dreams and achieve greater success because they limit their own beliefs．

　　Flee from dream killers：Dream killers are destructive to your success．Your friends, colleagues and even loved ones can be one of your dream killers．There are people who will try to change, confuse or persuade you ________, not the life that you want．

　　Take action immediately：Once you have big and clear dreams, take immediate action to work toward making them come true．Weeks later, the passion will grow cold and months later, that passion may be gone forever．

　　Exchange a glance with someone, and then look away．Do you realize that you have made a statement?Hold the glance for a second longer and you have made ________．Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again．For every social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person's gaze without being intimate, rude, or aggressive．If you are on an elevator(电梯)，what gaze-time are you permitted?To answer this question, consider what you typically do．You may likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up and to assure them that you mean no threat．Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to send out a signal telling others you want to be left alone．So you cut off eye contacts what sociologist Erving Goffiman(1963)calls“a dimming of the lights”．You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger's eyes．Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person extremely uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself．

　　If you hold eye contacts for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person?Much depends on the person and the situation．For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner．They typically gaze at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, and then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again．But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare, he signals,“I know you”．“I am interested in you．”or“You look peculiar and I am curious about you．”This type of stare often produces hostile feelings．

　　The interview has been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well．Then, suddenly, the interviewer asks an expected question,“Which is not important, law or love?”

　　Job applicants increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this．And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China．Employers want people who are skilled, enthusiastic and devoted．So these are qualities that reasonable intelligent job applicant will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are．

　　In response, employers are increasingly using questions that can try and show the applicants' true personality．The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Kiersey Personality Sorter．It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems, ________ This is often called aptitude(智能)testing．

　　According to Mark Baldwin of Alliance many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult．When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test he or she will think there is a right answer and they may well fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see．

　　This is sometimes called the prisoner's dilemma(窘境)．Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest．But they fail because they don't understand what the interviewer is looking for．Remember that in an aptitude test, the correct answer is always the honest answer．

　　In defining happiness, first we should get rid of a harmful connotation, that happiness is synonymous with pleasure．It is most decidedly not．Pleasure is an end in itself; it is something that is hunted for．________; it is not obvious, but mysterious．

　　This distinction is recognized in the very meaning of the word,“happiness”．It comes from the Old English “hap”, which just means“something that happens”．Many of our words invoking circumstance come from this word;“happening”,“mishap”, and“perhaps”are examples．“Happiness”, too, comes from this word, and means, literally,“that which happens”．

　　Happiness is, moreover, a personal experience．It is confined to the person and the moment to which it belongs．What you find happy, your neighbor might not; what you and your neighbor find happy, the two of you may find happy for different reasons．If we had enough wisdom, enough knowledge, or simply enough love, we could be happy in everything．

　　Happiness, then, is what we let it be．We can be happy, like the hermit, even if we are miserable, alone, and in pain．To us, though, it appears tending to escape, and many chase it, thinking of it as pleasure or riches．Happiness is not lack of want; that is contentment．Happiness is not joy or pleasure．Happiness is not the absence of sadness or pain．If we were stumbling stupidly about in a dark room, happiness would be the shaft of light we let through the keyhole, not knowing enough to simply open the door．
