restaurants that were losing money.Again he cleaned them up,improved the food and retrained the
employees.Before long these restaurants were making a profit,too.
Today Mr. Kazi owns 1 68 restaurants,but he isn't planning to stop there.He's looking for more poorly
managed restaurants to buy."I love it when I go to buy a restaurant and find it's a mess."Mr. Kazi says.
"The only way it can go is up."

When I opened the first "Body Shop" in 1976, what I wanted to do was to earn （挣） enough money to feed my children. Today the "Body Shop" is a great company growing fast all around the world. In the years since we began, I have learned a lot. Much of what I have learned will be found in this book, because I believe that we, as a company, have something worth saying about how to run a successful business without giving up what you really believe in.
It's not an ordinary business book. It is not just about my life, either. The message is that to succeed in business you have to be different. Business can be fun, and can be run with love and do good. In business, as in life, I need to enjoy myself, to have a feeling of my family and to feel excited by something unusual. I have always wanted the people who work for the "Body Shop" to feel the same way.
Now this book sends these ideas out into the world, and makes them public. I'd like to think there are no limits （界限） to our "family", and no limits to what can be done. I find that an exciting thought. I hope you do, too.

How does the writer feel about the business she runs?

A. It's the biggest company in the world.
B. It will possibly be more successful.
C. It's one of the most successful businesses.
D. It is the only company that is growing all around the world.

Debate is a valuable way to practise communicating．It can also bring long-lasting rewards,especially?for people working with Western businesses．The main activity of debate is presenting one′s opinion and?supporting it with evidence,such as statistics or facts．It is a way of persuasive communication．
Charles Lebeau helped create the“Discover Debate”method．He says debate is important to?understanding how people communicate in Western business．Successful debaters learn how to give?their opinion,reasons and support．“What we are trying to do is to develop a kind of thinking or?approach to discussion and how to interact(交流)with someone else′s opinion,rather than brush?their opinion aside．”
Debate skills are also important in selling a product,he says．In that situation,the judges are the?customers．“So on Monday,for example,one company may come in and present their case to the?customer and they′ll?make as strong a case as they can．On Tuesday,the next day,another company?will come in and present their case to the customer．Usually the party that can present the strongest?case wins．”
Debate also strengthens critical thinking．In other words,it helps students learn to ask questions?and try to understand someone′s reasons and evidence．
Mr．Lebeau points out that successful debaters learn to listen carefully to what other people are?saying．Then,they look for the weak points in someone else′s opinion or argument．He says debate?teaches a systematic way of questioning．
Successful debaters also learn to think from someone else′s point of view．Mr．Lebeau saysdebate can help broaden the mind．“There′s an expression in English:don′t criticize another person?before you have walked in their shoes．I think the wonderful thing about debate is,it puts us in?another person′s shoes．”

What can debaters benefit from“walking in another person′s shoes”？

A.Becoming more broad-minded．
B.Developing critical thinking．
C.Finding others'weak points．
D.Trying out others'methods．

Are You a Successful Leader?

1 Almost nothing we do in this world is done in isolation.At work or at play,you'll find yourself in
groups,working with other people:your team at work,a meeting with colleagues,your family,a holiday with
friends,a group of students working together,a day out walking in the mountains,a group of neighbours want-
ing to make changes.It is now recognized that being able to work successfully with other people is one of the
major keys to success,partly because we need to do it so often.
2 In almost every situation where you're in a group,you will need a skilled leader. All groups need
leaders and all successful groups have good leaders.Groups without leaders or with weak leaders almost
always break down. Members of a leaderless group often begin to feel dissatisfied and frustrated.Time is wasted
and the tasks are not achieved.There are often arguments and tensions between people as there is nobody to
keep the goals clear. Some personalities dominate and others disappear. Often group members begin not to
come to meetings in order to avoid more disharmony.
3 Some people are natural leaders.The celebrity chef,Antonio Carluccio says,"True leaders are born
and you can spot them in kitchens."They're people who combine toughness,fairness and humour. Although
a lot of people agree that there are some natural-born leaders,most people now recognize that leadership can
also be taught.Our professional and experienced staff can train almost anyone how to be a successful leader.
Good leaders don't make people do things in a bossy,controlling way.You can learn how to involve everyone,
encouraging the whole group to work towards a common goal.
4 Our training courses use activities and techniques to develop a range of qualities which are necessary
to be a good leader. Seff-confidence is vital and being able to overcome your own fears about being a leader.
Successful leaders also need to be calm and intelligent.They need to be able to work out good strategies and
make sound judgements under pressure.Lastly,and probably most importantly,good leaders need to be sensi-
tive,sociable and be able to get on with a wide range of people.Good leadership is essentially the ability to
influence others and good leaders allow all members of the group to contribute.

Paragraph 1_________
A:A Good Leader Needs a Variety of Qualities
B:These Techniques are Used to Train Leaden
C:Training can Make Good Leaders
D:Most of Good Leaders are Natural-born
E:It's Important to Have a Good Leader
F:People are in Groups

Scientific Attitude

We all know that science plays an important role in our society.However,many people believe that our progress depends on two different aspects of science.The first aspect is the application of the machines,products and systems of knowledge that scientists and technologists develop.The second is the application of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work.
What are these special methods of thinking and acting? First of all,it seems that a successful scientist is curious一he wants to find out how and why the universe works.He usually pays attention to problems which he notices have no satisfying explanation,and looks for relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected.Moreover,he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves.
He is a good observer, accurate, patient and objective（客观的）and uses the facts he observes to the fullest. For example,trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum（光谱）.
He does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available.He rejects authority as the only basis for truth.Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively.
Furthermore,he does not readily accept his own idea,since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instmments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation.
Lastly,he 15 full of imagination since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete.Furthermore,he needs imagination if he wants to guess how processes work and how events take place.
These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts.

According to the passage,a successful scientist would NOT_________.
A:easily believe in unchecked statements
B:easily criticize others,research work
C:always use his imagination in work
D:always use evidence from observation

Are You a Successful Leader?

1 Almost nothing we do in this world is done in isolation.At work or at play,you'll find yourself in
groups,working with other people:your team at work,a meeting with colleagues,your family,a holiday with
friends,a group of students working together,a day out walking in the mountains,a group of neighbours want-
ing to make changes.It is now recognized that being able to work successfully with other people is one of the
major keys to success,partly because we need to do it so often.
2 In almost every situation where you're in a group,you will need a skilled leader. All groups need
leaders and all successful groups have good leaders.Groups without leaders or with weak leaders almost
always break down. Members of a leaderless group often begin to feel dissatisfied and frustrated.Time is wasted
and the tasks are not achieved.There are often arguments and tensions between people as there is nobody to
keep the goals clear. Some personalities dominate and others disappear. Often group members begin not to
come to meetings in order to avoid more disharmony.
3 Some people are natural leaders.The celebrity chef,Antonio Carluccio says,"True leaders are born
and you can spot them in kitchens."They're people who combine toughness,fairness and humour. Although
a lot of people agree that there are some natural-born leaders,most people now recognize that leadership can
also be taught.Our professional and experienced staff can train almost anyone how to be a successful leader.
Good leaders don't make people do things in a bossy,controlling way.You can learn how to involve everyone,
encouraging the whole group to work towards a common goal.
4 Our training courses use activities and techniques to develop a range of qualities which are necessary
to be a good leader. Seff-confidence is vital and being able to overcome your own fears about being a leader.
Successful leaders also need to be calm and intelligent.They need to be able to work out good strategies and
make sound judgements under pressure.Lastly,and probably most importantly,good leaders need to be sensi-
tive,sociable and be able to get on with a wide range of people.Good leadership is essentially the ability to
influence others and good leaders allow all members of the group to contribute.

Good leaders always avoid__________.
A:the ability to work with others
B:encouraging group members
C:lack of good leaders
D:bossing people around
E:working out good strategies
