1 . Teenagers are especially likely to suffer loneliness. Here are some suggestions for speeding a recovery from loneliness.
Reach out to others, but start small. A smile and a friendly greeting for the student behind you in line at the cafeteria won’t make you best friends.
Find a safe place to make connections. If going to the school dance makes you feel like you just don’t belong, try joining a specialinterest group. Maybe it’s the drama club or the marching band.
Find other ways of making connections. Lonely people hunger for acceptance and friendship. Sometimes feeling accepted and liked comes more easily when you do something for others.
You get what you expect, so expect the best. If you expect others to be friendly, you will behave in similar ways.
A.But it will make you both feel pretty good. |
B.So consider becoming a volunteer. |
C.Some teens aren’t so adaptable, however. |
D.Encourage people to be friendlier to you. |
E.Choose the right people. |
F.For most young people, loneliness is only temporary. |
G.Look for a group that allows you to join in gradually and cheerfully. |
2 . Attitudes to industrial espionage (间谍活动)
What do people think about stealing and selling industrial secrets?
A. Sarah J. , an industrial chemist
For some years now I have been engaged in highly secret chemical research. Because there is so much industrial espionage now, I have got used to a certain lack of freedom. There is an atmosphere of suspicion almost everywhere, and I am well aware of the dangers of talking about my work, or even of telling new acquaintances where I work. I know I must keep my work secret.
B. Charles S. , an inventor
There was a time, when I was employed as a scientific adviser to a large company, where I though there was too much secrecy in industry. I have an agent who looks after a part of my business and she has always insisted that I take out patents on all of my inventions, however ridiculous they may look. She also insists on my locking away all plans and technical drawings.
C. Peter L. , a science teacher
I teach chemistry and physics to young people up to the age of 18 to the best of my ability in the hope that they will go to university and eventually go into industry. I hate the whole business of industrial spying. I know it goes on and I warn my students about getting involved in buying or selling secrets. And old friend of mine is a mechanical engineer and although he says he has no important information, he has had his phone tapped (窃听), and he has been approached b a representative of another large company.
D. Laura B. , an advertising executive
Some fellow sales executives and I were discussing the question of industrial espionage in conference recently. While the others felt it only took place in the manufacturing industries, I pointed out that it was just as prevalent in area like sales, advertising, insurance and other service industries. It’s a fact of life: we all have our secrets that other companies would pay a lot of money to see.

Good morning, everyone! I am happy to get a chance to speaking out. I know cell phones bring people conveniences, but sometimes I find them truly annoyed due to people’s behavior. I hate when people talk on their cell phones loudly in public. It’s probably none of my business, but it drives me crazily. One night in a movie theatre, a cell phone started to ring off. What I couldn’t imagine was when the guy behind me even begin to have a conversation right there in the theater. Apart from that, I think the people who talk on the phone while driving is putting the rest of us at danger, aren’t they?
