27、 While you visit the happiest place on earth, hope you don't hear these two phrases-or the tour might be about to turn into an unpleasant situation.
Disney World and Disneyland are well-known for being the happiest places in the world, but sometimes, some bad things happen. When they do, staff have code words(暗语)to let other staff know what has taken place without destroying your perfectly happy day with terrible details.
According to the New York Post, one of the code words you can hear a worker say at Disney World is "White Powder Alert", which means that guest has brought the ashes(骨灰)of dead relatives in order to make the happiest place on earth their final resting place. According to Susan Veness, author of Walt Disney World Hacks, this most commonly happens on the Haunted Mansion. This is illegal and can get those with ashes refused from Disney forever.
The second Disney code word you never want to hear is "E-stop." This one is a bit straighter and isn't used just for Disney. In order to remain as perfectly clear in an emergency situation as possible, workers in most amusement parks use the same phrase. It means "Emergency Stop". If ride must be shut down due to sanitary(卫生的)issue-like someone getting sick or pouring ashes-or a safety issue, an E-stop is called and the ride is quickly shut down while park officials decide if the ride should be evacuated(疏散)immediately or simply paused for repair.
No matter what code words are said, you will never want to hear a Disney cast member use these words.
【1】Why do staff in Disneyland use code words?
A.They try to make tourists have a good day B.They want to avoid quarrels with tourists
C.Code words make communication easier D.Code words help tourists understand situations better
【2】What will happen if tourists bring ashes of the dead to Disneyland?
A.Susan Veness will criticize them seriously B.Disneyland will refuse them a visit forever
C.They will be driven to the Haunted Mansion D.They will get no place to rest in Disneyland
【3】How is "E-stop" different from "White Powder Alert"?
A.It is used not only in Disneyland B.It isn't used in dangerous situation
C.It is more difficult to understand D.It describes a more terrible situation
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A.Attractive and magical Disney B.Some emergency cases in Disney
C.Tips for having a good time in Disney D.Two unwelcome code words in Disney
28、 What makes a person a giver or a taker? The idea of "give vs. take" takes shape in all interactions (互动)and relationships of our lives. We're either giving advice, making time for people, or we're on the receiving end. We keep changing between the two based on different situations on a daily basis, if not an hourly one.
According to Adam Grant, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, most people are matchers. They make careful observations on takers and make it a point for them to pay something back. They hate to see people who act so generously towards others not receive any rewards. Actually, most matchers will try hard to improve and support givers so that they can get the good they deserve.
Is there a gender factor (性别因素) that plays a part in this?
A study led by Hannah Riley Bowles, a professor at Harvard University, focused on this question. She asked 200 senior managers to sit down in pairs where one person would act as the boss and the other as an employee to discuss salary rise. Male "employees" asked for an average salary of $146 k while the females asked for only $141 k. But why did they not bargain as hard as the men? Simply because they were more likely to be givers.
As a woman, I do enjoy the act of giving up my time, my knowledge, and my care and attention to others. I expect anything in return, but I do tend to pull myself away when I feel like I'm being taken for granted(被认为当然). I also tend to get upset when I see a loved one's continuous actions of kindness go unnoticed. So, it's safe to say I'm 50% giver, 35% matcher and 15% taker.
I do know someone, however, who is 99% giver. They're continually devoting their time, sharing valuable insights (见解) and going out of their way for everyone who crosses their path. Although they've changed the lives of many people, they hardly see any of it returned. But the universe is slowly repaying them; they're now extremely successful, well known for what they do.
【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A.Most people think they are givers.
B.People are not always givers or takers.
C.An individual is born to be a giver or a taker.
D.Few differences exist between givers and takers.
【2】What can we learn from Grant’s opinion?
A.Most people hate takers.
B.Most people prefer giving to taking.
C.Most people enjoy relying on themselves.
D.Most people balance giving and taking.
【3】What did Hannah's study focus on?
A.The role of giving and taking in jobs.
B.The gender difference in giving and taking.
C.The role of men and women in society.
D.The salary difference between women and men.
【4】Which of the following represents the author’s point of view?
A.Giving is the shortest path to success.
B.Sharing is the greatest human quality.
C.No good deed goes undone.
D.Givers are worth respecting.
