6 . Communication Skills for Workplace Success

The ability to communicate effectively with superiors, colleagues, and staff is essential.     1    . These are four communication skills that can help you impress your boss, teammates, and clients.

● Listening

    2    . No one likes communicating with someone who cares only about putting in her two cents’ worth and does not take the time to listen to the other person. If you’re not a good listener, it’s going to be hard to comprehend what you’re being asked to do.

● Nonverbal(非语言) Communication

Your body language, eye contact, hand gestures, and tone of voice all color the message you are trying to convey. A relaxed, open stance (arms open, legs relaxed), and a friendly tone will make you appear approachable and will encourage others to speak openly with you.

    3    . You want to look the person in the eye to demonstrate that you are focused on them and the conversation. (However, be sure not to stare at the person, which can make him or her uncomfortable.)

● Clarity and Concision

Good verbal communication means saying just enough—don’t talk too much or too little.     4    . Say what you want clearly and directly, whether you’re speaking to someone in person or on the phone.

● Friendliness

Through a nice tone, a personal question, or simply a smile, you will encourage your co-workers to engage in open and honest communication with you. It’s important to be nice and polite in all your workplace communication.     5    .

A．Try to convey your message in as few words as possible

B．Also, pay attention to other people’s nonverbal signals while you are talking

C．People will be more open to communicating with you if you focus on their ideas

D．It will help you get hired, land promotions, and be a success throughout your career

E．This is important in both face-to-face and written communication

F．Eye contact is also important

G．Being a good listener is one of the best ways to be a good communicator

7 . Students wishing to safeguard(保护) their careers against changes in the job market should choose science rather than arts degrees, according to a survey of undergraduates(大学生).

Engineering and chemistry were considered to be the most “future proof”, as they are the courses most likely to lead to an enduring(持久的) and adaptable career.

Students polled by Pearson College were broadly optimistic(乐观的) that their chosen courses would prepare them for a world in which the job market could change dramatically (显著的，戏剧性的) during their working lives.

But opinions were sharply divided over which degrees were best for future-proof careers.

82 per cent of respondents believed engineering would lead to a future-proof skills, with 74 per cent believing the same of chemistry and 73 percent of computer science.

But just 33 per cent of undergraduates believed history would lead to a future-proof career, and 40 per cent English.

However more than two thirds (67 percent) of students thought the world of work would be significantly different or completely unrecognizable in 20 years.

The findings, published today, come after Education Secretary Nicky Morgan sparked controversy with claims that teenagers should steer clear of the arts and humanities and choose science or math subjects if they want to access the widest range of jobs.

She said that in previous decades students would only take math or science if they wanted to pursue a specific career such as medicine or pharmacy, but nowadays that “couldn’t be further from the truth”.

“If you want to do something different, or even if you didn’t know what you wanted to do...then the arts and humanities were what you chose, because they are useful-we were told-for all kinds of jobs. Of course now we know that that couldn’t be further from the truth, and that the subjects that keep people’s options open and unlock doors to all sorts of career are the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) subjects.”

She also described math as “the subject that employers value most” and said that pupils who study A-level math will earn 10 per cent more over their lifetime.

“These figures show us that too many young people aged 15 are making choices which will hold them back for the rest of their lives,” she said.

1. In order to guarantee your future job, which will you choose according to the survey?

A．Engineering or English.	B．History or math.
C．Math or art.	D．Engineering and chemistry.

2. What’s the students’ attitude towards their chosen courses?

A．Doubtful.	B．Worried.
C．Optimistic.	D．Objective.

3. How do you understand the underlined words?

A．It is far away from the truth.	B．It’s close to the truth.
C．It couldn’t be close to the death.	D．It reflects the truth.

4. What did Nicky Morgan indicate (暗示，表明) in her claims?

A．If you want to do something different, the arts and science are what you choose now.

B．STEM subjects can make young people choose their future job freely.

C．At College, young people should make choices for their lives.

D．Math and science are considered to be the subjects that employers value most.

8 . Movie Extras

“Would you mind lying in a coffin? Would you shave your head? Are you willing to take out your false teeth?”

These are just a few of the questions Anne Marie Stewart and her staff sometimes ask the “talent” who serve as non-speaking “extras” in special films, television series, and made-for-TV movies produced in Toronto.

Of course, the majority of extra calls are for more ordinary people, and Stewart has a list of about 650 registered extras. Crowd scenes, which are common, call for everyday people of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, and sizes.

Over at Movie People, last-minute requests are not unusual. “We got a request once for an entire brass band of 30 people. They wanted it within the hour,” said manager Yvonne McCartney. Another time, the company got a last-minute request for a newborn baby. “We found a baby that was three weeks premature,” said Jonathan Aiken, an owner of the company.

Then there was the worried call from a casting director whose “Star” got doggone stubborn one day and decided to just lie down and not work. The director needed a replacement dog, fast. “We got them two in one hour.” said Aiken. “It was a matter of good connections and fast phone work.” The eight phone lines needed to make 350 to 400 calls a day are one of Movie People’s major expenses.

Phone lines are the only way to stay in touch with casting directors and extras; but the latter are a group not necessarily interested in a long-term relationship. Most extra jobs pay only $7 an hour (with a six-hour minimum), while most agencies charge an annual $75 registration fee and get 10 to 15 per cent of extras’ earnings. It’s no wonder that the turnover rate is fairly high.

Some people who are between jobs do extra work as a temporary measure, said McCartney. But professionals, such as lawyers, also do the work because it’s interesting. Others with flexible jobs have a desire to do something different. Some homemakers want to get out of the house and onto a movie set. Money’s not the motivating reason.

“One of the first things I say to people who walk in and ask about being an extra is, ‘You have to be available,’” said a person at Karen Clifton Agency. Inc. “The next thing I say is, ‘You can't make a living at this.’”
