of dyslexia,a reading and writing disorder（障碍），he struggled in many courses.but bloom says the dyslexia gave him the encouragement to overcome（克服）his difficulties.in an interview with the telegraph,the 32-year-old said the condition turned him into an ambitious person.“because of the dyslexia,i always thought i had to work twice as hard as everyone else just to go the same distance,” he said.“that gave me a real kick as a kid and a lot of encouragement later on.in one sense,i guess that im grateful （感激的）.”bloom is always preparing it thoroughly（充分地） when it comes to an audition（试镜）for a part.perhaps this is what won him his role in the lord of the rings，a highly successful film trilogy （三部曲）.“i really prepared it thoroughly for the audition and its paid off,” he said.it was the beginning of a fame that led to even greater success as a movie actor.but unlike some young people who aim for fame and fortune,bloom believed an acting career has been fulfilling （实现） his childhood fantasies.“aged 9，i had this girlfriend and we used to have running races in the park to see who would be her boyfriend for the day.i wanted to be like superman and fly in and rescue her.once i realized superman was an actor,i thought,thats for me.”bloom has always played special characters,like a knight (骑士) and a prince.its difficult to picture him in everyman roles.in october 2009,bloom was named goodwill ambassador （亲善大使） for united nations international childrens emergency fund（unicef).his first task would be to film a documentary about the importance of clean water

signs of conscientiousness (认真尽责)being punctual,careful in doing work,self-disciplined,and scrupulous (一丝不苟的) in attending to responsibilitiesare typical characteristics of the model organizational citizen,the people who keep things running as they should.they follow the rules,help out,and are concerned about the people they work with.its the conscientious worker who helps newcomers or updates people who return after an absence,who gets to work on time and never abuses sick leaves,who always gets things done on deadline.conscientiousness is a key to success in any field.in studies of job performance,outstanding effectiveness for almost all jobs,from semi-skilled labor to sales and management,depends on conscientiousness.it is particularly important for outstanding performance in jobs at the lower levels of an organization: the secretary whose message taking is perfect,the delivery truck driver who is always on time.among sales representatives for a large american car manufacturer,those who were most conscientious had the largest volume of sales.conscientiousness also offers a buffer (缓冲) against the threat of job loss in todays constantly changing market,because employees with this quality are among the most valued.for the sales representatives,their level of conscientiousness mattered almost as much as their sales in determining who stayed on.there is an air around highly conscientious people that makes them seem even better than they actually are.their reputation for dependability influences managers evaluations of their work,giving them higher evaluations than objective measures of their performance would predict.but conscientiousness in the absence of social skills can lead to problems.since conscientious people demand so much of themselves,they can hold other people to their own standards,and so be overly judgmental when others dont show the same high levels of model behavior.factory workers in great britain and the united states who were extremely conscientious,for example,tended to criticize co-workers even about failures that seemed unimportant to those they criticized,which damaged their relationships.when conscientiousness takes the form of living up to expectations,it can discourage creativity.in creative professions like art or advertising,openness to wild ideas and spontaneity (自发性) are scarce and in demand.success in such occupations calls for a balance,however; without enough conscientiousness to follow through,people become mere dreamers,with nothing to show for their imaginativeness.答案：71.strict 72.helpful/good 73.functions/roles/importance/significance 74.running/working/going/operating/functioning 75.performance(s)76.fired/dismissed/jobless 77.problems/troubles

words,whether youre seeking life-long satisfaction or a few moments of good cheer,youve got to move forward.weve interviewed the experts and found five steps to take toward a sunny mood （心情）：over a 30-year period,university of illinois researchers asked nearly 120,000 people how income,education,political participation,volunteer activities and close relationships affected their happiness.reported newsweeks sharon begley on the findings,“the highest levels of happiness are found with the most stable and satisfying relationships.”singing aloud,talking to a stranger,raising your hand:all may increase a feeling of happiness,according to a study from wake forest university.participants （参与者） followed the development of their moods for two weeks and reported feeling happier when they were more outgoing and less happy when reserved or withdrawn.the editors of gave 5 or 20 to 46 strangers by chance.half the group was told to spend the money on themselves,while the other half was told to spend it on others.those whod shared the wealth felt much happier at the end of the day than those whod spent it on themselves.there was no difference in happiness between those who spent 5 or 20,suggesting that its not how much money you spend,but how you spend it,that inspires the spirit.studies from the positive psychology center showed that discouraged people who wrote down three good things that happened to them each day for six months reported an improved attitude.drinking water really can help keep you cheerful.a small 2012 study from the university of connecticut suggested that even slight dehydration （脱水） affected the moods of its f
