11、 working day by focusing on doing the hardest task of the day first, if you want to be successful. i've worked on this very thing for years. every morning, seven days a week, my alarm goes off at 3：59 a. m. i get up and get to work. most days, it's writing 1,500 words for my newsletters (简讯)

12、 or next book. accountability (负责) is one of the important habits in my life, and i can never abandon it. having goals is good. having a 90­day deadline is great. when i work with clients, we don't stop at setting three process goals for 90 days. we dig deeper and go to the next level. i de

13、mand they come up with one big action step to take in the next 24 hours that will move them ahead to their 90­day goal. what is the most important action you can take in the next 24 hours to move you ahead in life and help you accomplish your 90­day goal? so ask yourself this: what big act

14、ion step can you take to get results and move ahead in the next 72 hours? the next seven days? two weeks? a month? a deadline can have the biggest initial impact on your success. but it's accountability that keeps it going. after all, you can have all the greatest advice in the world, but if you

15、 don't have accountability, you'll fall off the truck. for years, i have benefited from the wisdom. accountability is important and i can never, ever abandon it.21what did the author benefit from?awriting newsletters.ba book about people's development.csetting his alarm.dhaving a 90­

18、non­native speakers. displeasure at the complexity of native speakers' english is widespread in international business. during a study carried out at kone elevators of finland, one finnish manager complained, “the british are the worst. it is much more difficult to understand their english

19、than that of other nationalities. when we non­native speakers of english talk, it is much easier to understand. we have the same limited vocabulary.” how can native speakers of english make themselves easier to understand and more likeable? the most obvious way is to learn someone else's la

20、nguage. the great benefit of learning other languages is that you have some idea of what non­native speakers are up against. however, the news that fewer than half of english schoolchildren are learning a foreign language suggests that this is not going to be a profitable route for many. so wha

21、t should native english speakers do to make themselves better understood? first, slow down, but not to the point where members of your audience think you are supporting them. second, avoid idiomatic and metaphorical (比喻性的) expressions: that's the way the cookie crumbles, people who live in glass

22、 houses should not throw stones, and the like. jokes are a difficult area. you will not forget the silence that follows one that is found puzzling. on the other hand, when jokes work, they can be a huge success with a non­native speaking audience. if you have learnt other languages, you will kn

23、ow that very few achievements are as satisfying as understanding your first foreign joke. try a few out with your non­native speaking audience; you will soon learn which ones are worth repeating. it is often unnecessary to avoid long words such as “association” and “nationality”， which are comm

24、on to the romance languages and will be widely understood in europe and latin america. listen to verbal responses for signs of whether you have been understood or not. make sure your non­native speaking colleagues have the chance to talk; they will often be rephrasing your words in an attempt t

25、o satisfy themselves that they have grasped (理解) what you said. always remember that the greatest friend of the non­native speakers is repetition. find more than one way of getting your point across and summarize frequently.24the example of one finnish manager in the second paragraph means that

29、ore and more important.csince 1964, colleges and universities in the u. s. have used test of english as a foreign language, or toefl, to measure an international applicant's level of english. universities in english­speaking european countries began using the international english language

30、testing system, or ielts, in 1989. these two tests have been the main choices for english ability testing in higher education admissions for international students until now. in recent years, several companies have developed new english language tests that are low­cost and easy to use. and they

31、 aim to do more than just offer greater choice in the admissions process. founded in 2012, duolingo creates software that teaches users many different languages, including english. in 2014, the company launched its own test of english language ability. jennifer dewar works with duolingo, helping to

32、develop the test. she formerly worked as an admissions official at washington university in st. louis, missouri. the school is one of hundreds of colleges, universities and other organizations in and outside the u. s. that now accept the test results for international admissions into their study pro

33、grams. dewar says duolingo created the test to lower the barriers to higher education for people worldwide, especially those in developing countries. toefl and the ielts cost about $ 300. they are given in a limited number of centers around the world. some test­takers have to travel to take the

34、 tests, adding to the costs. duolingo offers its test entirely over the internet for $ 49. all test­takers need is access to a computer with a microphone, listening device and self­facing camera. toefl, the ielts and duolingo measure a person's english reading, listening, speaking and

35、writing abilities. but it takes about 45 minutes to complete a duolingo test, compared to three or four hours for toefl or the ielts. it is possible because duolingo uses artificial intelligence (人工智能) to test test­takers' abilities, using fewer questions to measure their skills.28why were

36、toefl and the ielts set up?ato make people understand english­speaking countries.bto help teachers to teach in colleges and universities in europe.cto test an international applicant's level of english.dto help international applicants to improve their english.29when did duolingo begin to u

39、he smell? unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. but while a shop's scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds, it is certainly there. and it is proving to be an increasingly powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase. a brand store has become famous for its dist

40、inctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. a smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. one sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers' intention to purch

41、ase increased by 80 percent. when it comes to the best shopping streets in paris, scent is just as important to a brand's success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sale. that is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be. some years ago, the foc

42、us for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants' disproving attitude and don't­touch­what­you­can't­afford displays. now the rise of electronic commerce (e­commerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. but while e­shops

43、 can use sights and sounds, only bricks­and­mortar stores (实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. and scent is just one way to achieve this.n

44、ow, a famous store uses complex man­made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut (椰子) scent in the swimsuit section. a department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store's windows to smell b

45、ooks, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.32according to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand stores?afriendly assistants.bunique scents.csoft background music.dattractive window display.33e­shops are mentioned in the passage to _.ashow
