1.What exactly is a key player? A “Key Player” is a phrase that I?ve heard about from employers during just about every search I?ve conducted. I asked a client-a hiring manager involved in a recent search –to define it for me, “Every company has a handful staff in a given area of expertise that you can count on to get the job done. On my team of seven process engineers and biologists, I?ve got two or three whom I just couldn?t live without,” he said. “Key player are essential to my organization. And when we hire your company to recruit for us, we except that you?ll be going into other companies and finding just that: the staff that another manager will not want to see leave. We recruit only key players.

2.This is part of a pep talk intended to send headhunters into competitor?s companies to talk to the most experienced staff about making a change. They want to hire a “key player” from another company. Every company also hires from the ranks of newbies, and what they?re looking for is exactly the same. “We hold them up to the standards we see in our top people. If it looks like they have these same traits, we?ll place a bet on them.” It?s just a bit riskier.

3.“It?s an educated guess,” says my hiring manager client. Your job as a future employee is to help the hiring manager mitigate

that risk. You need to help them identify you as a prospective “key player”

4.Trait 1: The selfless collaborator

John Fetzer, career consultant and chemist first suggested this trait, which has already been written about a great deal. It deserves repeating because it is the single most public difference between academia and industry. “It?s teamwork,”says Fetzer, “The business environment is less lone-wolf and competitive, so signs of being collaborative and selfless stand out. You just can?t succeed in an industry environment without this mindset.

5.Many postdocs and grad students have a tough time showing that they can be make this transition because so much of their life has involved playing the independent-researcher role and outshining other young stars. You can make yourself more attractive to companies by working together with scientists from other laboratories and disciplines in pursuit of a common goal-and documenting the results on your resume. This approach combined with a liberal use of the pronoun “we” and not just “I” when describing your accomplishments, can change the company?s perception of you from a lone wolf to a selfless collaborator. Better still, develop a reputation inside your lab

and with people your lab collaborator with as a person who foster and initiates collaborators-and make sure this quality gets mentioned by those who will take those reference phone calls.

6.Trait 2: A sense of urgency

Don Haut is a frequent contributor to the aaas.sciencecareers. Org discussion forum. He is a former scientist who transitioned to industry many years ago and then on to a senior management position. Haut heads strategy and business development for a division of 3M with more than $2.4 billon in annual revenues(投资).He is among those who value a sense of urgency.

7.“Business happens 24/7/365, which means that competition happens 24/7/365, as well,”says Haut. “One way that companies win is by getting …there? faster which means that you not only have to mobilize all of the functions that support a business to move quickly, but you have to know how to decide where …there? is! This creates a requirement not only for people who can act quickly, but for those who can think fast and have the courage to act on their convictions. This requirement needs to run throughout an organization and is not exclusive to management.”

8.Traits 3: Risk tolerance

Being OK with risk is something that industry demands. “A candidate needs to have demonstrated the ability to make decisions with imperfect or incomplete information. He or she must be able to embrace ambiguity and stick his or her neck out to drive to a conclusion,”wrote one of my clients in a job description.

9.Haut agrees. “Business success is often defined by comfort with ambiguity and risk-personal, organizational, and financial. This creates a disconnect for many scientists because science in academia is really more about careful, studied research. Further, great science is often fall in love with the process. In a business, you need to understand the process, but you end up falling love with the answer and then take a risk based on what you think that answer means to your business. Putting your neck on the line like this is a skill set that all employer look for in their best people.”

10.A nother important piece of risk tolerance is a candidate?s degree of comfort with failure. Failure is important because it shows that you were not afraid to take chances. So companies consistently look for candidates who can be wrong and admit it. Every knows how to talk about successes-or they should if they?re in a job search-but far fewer people are comfortable

talking about failures and fewer still know how to bring lessons and advantages back from the brink. “For my organization, a candidate needs to have comfort discussing his or her failures, and he or she needs to have a real failures, not something made up for interview day. If not, that person has not taken enough risk.” says Haut.

11.T raits 4: Strength in interpersonal relationships

Rick Leach is in business development for deCODE Genetics. Leach made the transition to industry recently, on the business side of things. I asked him about this key trait because in his new business role, interpersonal abilities make the difference between success and failure. “Scientists spend their lives accumulating knowledge and developing technical acumen,” he says, “but working for a business requires something else entirely-people skills. The scientist who is transitioning into the business world must prioritize his or her relationship assets above their technical assets. To suddenly be valued and measured by your mastery of human relationship can be a very scary proposition for a person who has been valued and measured only by his mastery of things,” says Risk.

12. It would be a mistake, however, to assume that strong people skills are required only for business people like Leach.

Indeed, the key players I?ve met who work at the bench in industry have succeeded in great measure because they?ve been able to work with a broad variety of personalities, up and down the organization.

WHY DO WE WORK?

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/4a7051343.html,wyers practice a difficult and demanding profession. They expect to be well compensated. In thinking about what that means, it can help to consider the basic question: “Why do we work?”Samuel Johnson supplied an obvious answer when he famously observed, “No man but a blockhead ever wrote expect for money,”But I am not being paid to write this article, and instead of labeling myself a blockhead, let me refer to the insight of eminent psychologist Theodor Reik: “Work and love-these are the basics. Without them there is neurosis.”

2.Why do we work? For money, but also for sanity. We expect and need to be compensated in nonmonetary ways. Noneconomic compensation matters to top-flight lawyers-otherwise, they would have long ago fled to investment banks. Law firms that want to recruit and retain the best (and the sanest) must compensate not only in dollars but also in psychic gratification. Accordingly, managers of elite firms need to think consciously about what lawyers are looking for beyond money.

Here are some key noneconomic elements of compensation. 3.Professional identify

Many lawyers define themselves with reference to the privileges and attributes of their profession. When firms recognize professional prerogatives, they provide an important form of compensation.

4.For example, lawyers pride themselves on belonging to a learned profession. By providing opportunities for continued intellectual growth, law firms can simultaneously provide a form of compensation and reinforce a core value of the profession. This isn?t hard to do. Organize and host seminars with leading scholars, support scholarship in-house with resources such as research assistance and create venues for lawyers to engage in serious discourse.

5.Another core professional value is autonomy. A law firm pays psychic compensation when it understands and accepts that in matters of professional judgment, lawyers are their own masters. In this regard, firms should encourage a diversity of approaches, letting each lawyer develop his or her own style of practice. Empowering lawyers in this way inculcates a heightened sense of personal responsibility, which in turn reinforces the drive for individual excellence.

6.Equally important to professional autonomy is that firms need to take care not to impinge on a lawyer?s exercise of considered professional judgment, even when that means refusing a client. Lawyers are not the servants of their clients. In appropriate circumstances, telling the client “NO”is an art of the highest professionalism. A lawyer is well-paid with the confidence that the firm well stand behind him or her in such circumstances.

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/4a7051343.html,stly, professional status encompasses adherence to ethical standards. Most lawyers find self-worth in setting an example-both within the profession and within the larger society-as ethical actors. When management affirms the special respect due to lawyers who act with the utmost integrity and civility in all of their professional dealings, it provides yet another form of compensation.

8.Personal pride

Few of us make it through the rigors of a legal education without having a deeply internalized sense of excellence for its own sake. Lawyers compensate themselves with the powerful self-affirmation of a job well done.

9.As a matter of both compensation and reputation, an elite firm cannot afford to impede the drive to excellence, even when

it?s not cost effective in the short term. This means, for example, that firm management should applaud the writing and rewriting of a brief to the highest standard even when a cynical perspective would suggest that the extra effort will have no practical effect.

10.A lways celebrate superlative work product even when it seems unlikely to make a difference in the outcome. Instead of kowtowing to client demands for super work at a cut-rate price, deliver excellence and expect to be paid for it.

11.I dealism

Think back to law school. Who remembers talking into the night about how to obtain the highest profits per equity partner?

12.M ore memorable discussions covered things such as the advancement of civil rights, the provision of legal services to the poor, the development of a more equitable system of taxation, the promulgation of international norms guaranteeing basic human dignity. Lawyers thirst for justice, and slaking that thirst is an important element of compensation. Almost by definition, an elite law firm supports pro bono and public service efforts, thereby accomplishing the intertwined goal of compensating its professionals and discharging its institutional obligations to society.

13.R ecognition

Psychic compensation includes recognition, both formal and informal. Rendering such compensation depends on management?s making just a little extra effort to acknowledge achievement. Celebrate important accomplishments and mark import milestones. On occasion, elaborate dinners or parties are called for, but often casual events will serve the purpose. Institute formal award programs. Stage ceremonies of public recognition. Never neglect to mark even relatively minor accomplishments with a congratulatory e-mail or phone call. 14.I nstitutional pride

Finally, a law firm can compensate its lawyers by giving them cause to be proud to be a part of the firm. Law firms, as institutions, can outlive, outperform and out contribute any individual. We join firms in order to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. When firm management commits itself to building the firm as an integrated institution, with strong institutional values, and when the firm thrives as an institution, belonging to the firm becomes its own reward.

15.O f course, this requires management to foster a corporate identify that subsumes individual egos—the greater good of the group must take precedence. And the firm as an institution must

meet the highest standards in every area: excellent corporate citizenship, superb client service, selfless public service, outstanding reputation.

16.I n sum, lawyers—or, at least, the best lawyers—don?t work for bread alone. And law firms—or, at least, elite law firms—cannot hope to effectively recruit or retain top legal talent without an attractive package of psychic compensation, which means that law firm managers must attend to the same.

WHY HARRY?S HOT?

1.J. K. Rowling swears she never saw it coming. In her wildest dreams, she didn?t think her Harry Potter books would appeal to more than a handful of readers. “I never expected a lot of people to like them” she insisted in a recent interview. “Well, it turned out I was very wrong, obviously. It strikes a chord with an enormous number of people.” That?s putting it mildly. With 35 million copies in print, in 35 languages, the first three Harry Potter books have earned a conservatively estimated $480 million in three years. And that was just warm-up. With a first printing of 5.3 million copies and advance orders topping 1.8 million, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the fourth installment of the series, promises to break every bookselling

record. Jack Morrissey, 12, plainly speaks for a generation of readers when he says, “The Harry Potter books are like fire, but better.”

2.Amazingly, Rowling keeps her several plotlines clear of each other until the end, when she deftly brings everything together in a cataclysmic conclusion. For pure narrative power, this is the best Potter book yet.

3.When the book finally went on sale at 12:01 a.m. Saturday, thousands of children in Britain and North America rushed to claim their copies. Bookstore hosted pajama parties hired magicians and served cookies and punch, but nobody needed to lift the spirits of these crowds. In one case, customers made such a big, happy noise that neighbors called the cops. At a Borders in Charlotte, N.C., Erin Rankin, 12, quickly thumbed to the back as soon as she got her copy. “I heard that a major character dies, and I really want to find out who,” she said. But minutes later she gave up. “I just can?t do it. I can?t read the end first.”

4.The only sour note in all the songs of joy over this phenomenon has come from some parents and conservative religious leaders who say Rowling advocated witchcraft. Reading of the books has been challenged in 25 school districts

in at least 17 states, and the books have been banned in schools in Kansas and Colorado. But that?s nothing new, says Michael Patrick Hearn, a children?s book scholar and editor of The Annotated Wizard of Oz. “Any kind of magic is considered evil by some people,” he says. “The Wizard of Oz was attacked by fundamentalists in the mid-1980s.”

5.But perhaps the most curious thing about the Potter phenomenon, especially given that it is all about books, is that almost no one has taken the time to say how good -or bad-these books are. The other day my 11-year-old daughter asked me if I thought Harry Potter was a classic. I gave her,I?m afraid one of those very adult-sounding answers when I said, “Time will tell.”This was not an outright lie. There?s no telling which books will survive from one generation to the next. But the fact is, I was hedging. What my daughter really wanted to know was how well J. K. Rowling stacks up against the likes of Robert Louis Stevenson or Madeleine L? Engle.

6.I could have told her that I thought they were beautifully crafted works of entertainment, the literary equivalent of Steven Spielberg. I could also have told her I thought the Potter books were derivative. They share so many elements with so many children?s classics that sometimes it seems as though Rowling

had assembles her novels from a kit. However, these novels amount to much more than just the sum of their parts. The crucial aspect of their appeal is that they can be read by children and adults with equal pleasure. Only the best authors-and they can be as different as Dr. Seuss and Phillip Pullman and, yes, J. K. Rowling-can pull that off.

7.P. L. Travers, the author of the Mary Poppins books, put it best when she wrote, “You do not chop off a section of your imaginative substance and make a book specifically for children, for-if you are honest-you have, in fact, no idea where childhood ends and maturity begins. It is all endless and all one.” There is plenty for children and adults to enjoy in Rowling?s books, starting with their language. Her prose may be unadorned, but her way with naming people and things reveals a quirky and original talent.

8.The best writers remember what it is like to be a child with astonishing intensity. Time and again, Rowling articulates just how defenseless even bravest children often feel. Near the end of the second book Dumbledore, the wise and protective headmaster, is banished from Hogwarts. This terrifies Harry and his schoolmates-“With Dumbledore gone, fear had spread as never before”-and it terrified me. And in all of Rowling?s books

there runs an undercurrent of sadness and loss. In the first book the orphaned Harry stares into the Mirror of Erised, which shows the viewer his or her utmost desires. Harry sees his dead parents. “Not until I?d reread what I?d written did I realize that that had been taken entirely-entirely-from how I felt about my mother?s death,” Rowling said. “In fact, death and bereavement and what death means, I would say, is one of the central themes in all seven books.” Do young readers pick up on all this deep intellectualism? Consciously, perhaps not. But I don?t think the books would have their broad appeal if they were only exciting tales of magical adventure and I know adults would not find them so enticing.

9.The Harry Potter books aren?t perfect. What I miss in these novels is the presence of a great villain. And by great villain I mean an interesting villain. Long John Silver is doubly frightening because he is both evil and charming. If he were just all bad, he wouldn?t frighten us half as much. V oldemort is resistible precisely because he is just bad to the bone. That said,

I should add that in the new book Rowling outdoes herself with

a bad guy so seductive you?ll never see him coming. And he is scary.

10.T hat quibble aside, Rowling novels are probably the best

books children have ever encountered that haven?t been thrust upon them by an adult. I envy kids reading these books, because there was nothing this good when I was a boy-nothing this good, I mean, that we found on our own the way kids are finding Harry. We affectionately remember The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew, but try rereading them and their charm fades away pretty quickly. Rowling may not be as magisterial as Tolkien or as quirky as Dahl, but her books introduce fledgling readers to a very high standard of entertainment. With three books left to go in the series, it?s too early to pass final judgment. But considering what we?ve seen so far, especially in the latest volume, Harry Potter has all the earmarks of a classic.

EUROPEANS JUST WANT TO HA VE FUN

1.Walking across Boulevard St. Michel in Paris last week, on the night before Bastille Day, I bumped into an old friend-an American who has lived in the city for 25 year-who told me he was taking up the tango. When I asked him why, he suggested I take a stroll along the left Bank of the Seine, opposite Ile St. Louis, and so of course I did.

2.It was one big party. A drop-dead gorgeous crowd was tangoing away in a makeshift, open-air amphitheater. Nearby, a multiethnic group was doing the meringue. Hundreds of others

were tucking into picnics by the river as a full moon rose in a cloudless sky. Much later that night, after a perfect fish soup in the Place des V osges, I walked into the narrow passages of the Marais district and stumbled upon an impromptu block party. Someone had set up a sound system on the sidewalk, and the street was packed with people-straight and gay, young and old, back and white-dancing salsa.

3.Europe is enjoying itself. OK, in late July, it always does. The weekend I was in Paris, an estimated 50000 kids descended on Berlin for the annual Love Parade. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of families started their trek from the damp north of the Continent to their vacation homes in the warm south. But even when the sun isn?t shining, Europeans seem to be throwing themselves into fun and festivity with unprecedented zeal. Each weekend, central London is one great bacchanal. Cities that for reasons of politics or religion were once gloomily repressive-Madrid, say, or Dublin-now rock to the small hours. In Prague the foreign visitors who get talked about are not the earnest young Americans who flocked there in the early 1990s, but British partygoers who have flown in for the cheap beer and pretty girls. The place that British historian Mark Mazower once called the true dark continent-and from whose curdled soul the

horrors of fascism sprang-has become Europa Ludens, a community at play.

4.Funny. This is how the US was supposed to be. In a famous series of collected in his 1976 book, The Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism, Daniel Bell noted how the decline of the Protestant small-town ethic had unhinged. American capitalism from its moral foundation in the intrinsic value of work. By the 1960s, Bell argued, “the cultural justification of capitalism [had] become hedonism, the idea of pleasure as a way of life.” This magazine agreed. In a 1969 cover story entitled “California: A state of Excitement, Time reported that, as most Americans saw it, “the good, godless, gregarious pursuit of pleasure is what California is all about…‘I have seen the future,? says the newly returned visitor to California, …and it plays.?”

5.But the American future didn?t turn out as we expected. While Europeans cut the hours they spend at the office or factory-in France it is illegal to work more than 35 hours a week-and lengthened their vacations, Americans were concluding that you could be happy only if you work hard and play hard. So they began to stay at their jobs longer than ever and then, in jam-packed weekends at places like the Hamptons on Long Island, invented the uniquely American concept of

scheduled joy filling a day off with one appointment after another, as if it were no different from one at the office. American conservatives, meanwhile, came to believe that Europeans? desire to devote themselves to the pleasures of life and-the shame of it!-six weeks annual vacation was evidence of a lack of seriousness and would, in any event, end in economic tears.

6.Why do Europeans and Americans differ so much in their attitude toward work and leisure? I can think of two reasons. First, the crowded confines of Western Europe and the expensive space of North America have led to varied consumer preferences. Broadly speaking, Americans value stuff—SUVs,7,000-sq.-ft. houses-more than they value time, while for Europeans it?s the opposite. Second, as Bell predicted, America?s sense of itself as a religious nation has revived. At least in the puritanical version of Christianity that has always appealed to Americans, religion comes packaged with the stern message that hard work is good for the soul. Modern Europe has avoided so melancholy a lesson.

7.Whatever the explanation, the idea of a work-life balance is a staple of European discourse, studied in think tanks, mulled over by policymakers. In the US, the term, when it?s used at all,

is said with the sort of sneer reserved for those who eat quiche. But it might still catch on When Bill Keller was named executive editor of the New York Times last week, he encourages the staff to do “a little more savoring”of life, spending time with their families or viewing art.

8.Even better, they could take up the tango.

LOVE AND LOVING RELATIONSHIPS

1.Love-as both an emotion and a behavior-is essential for human survival. The family is usually our earliest and most important source of love and emotional support. Babies and children deprived of love have been known to develop a wide variety of problems-for example, depression, headaches, physiological impairments, and neurotic and psychosomatic difficulties-that sometimes last a lifetime. In contrast, infants who are loved and cuddled typically gain more weight, cry less, and smile more. By five years of age, they have been found to have significantly higher IQs and to score higher on language tests.

2.Much research shows that the quality of care infants receive affects how they later get along with friends, how well they do in school, how they react to new and possibly stressful situations, and how they form and maintain loving relationships

研究生英语My English Story

My English Story Part 1(Past) Before entering middle school, English is a remote and mysterious realm I roughly have not ever touched. In other words, I began to learn English till I was 12 years old, about 5 or more years later than other children around me. And hence I have a rough time when I attempt to learn it. For instance, asked by my classmates, “What is your name, please?”, I felt so inferior and downcast because I may hardly recite the 26 letters at that time. Fortunately for me, my English teacher, Mrs. Sun, encouraged and helped me a lot. She gave me extra classes during her noon break. She told me I should never be too timid to use English and must have enough valor to speak loudly. With her selfless help, I finally caught up with my classmates after months of hard working. I felt enlightened and became interesting in English, though I could only say measly several simple sentences such as “Good morning” and “How old are you”. Afterwards my English learning gradually turned in a relatively positive direction. However, the primary force I studied English was simple, just to get a higher school record to go to a better high school. And in the high school, it changed to go to a better university. As a result of this simple but inappropriate motive, after being accepted by Harbin Institute of Technology to get a bachelor's degree and breezing through the CET4, 6, I hardly learned English for quite a long time, nearly two years. On one occasion, I read a poem from Tagore’s Stray Bird. Different fro m my usual reading, it is written in English. And it gave me more fantastic sense than when I read its Chinese translation. This fantastic sense gave me totally new aspiration to relearn English. As I found I extremely need English to know more about the world. Part 2(Present) Trying to get my master’s degree smoothly, I currently use English in readings of foreign literature in my field of expertise. Due to the previous learning, I may digest some elementary literature with the help of my teachers and dictionaries. But that is not enough, I must try to learn more. Very luckily, I get a foreign teacher, Mrs. Taylor, to give me guidance in learning English. This is the first time I get in touch with a native speaker of English so frequently. Mrs. Taylor speaks clearly and fluently, it is a relish to go to her class. In her class, we enjoy harmonious and relaxed atmosphere she establishes for us . She not only tells us how to learn English effectively, but also gives us much more knowledge about the foreign world. Watching the movies she recommends to us, we improve our English, at the same time, we begin to think more about the gap between China and the western world in politics, economy and culture. On the other side, I integrate my English learning in daily leisure and entertainments.

研究生英语上Summary

Unit1 How to read a book “Some books are to be tasted ,others to be swallowed, and some to be chewed and digested.” Francis Bacon warned readers several hundred years ago. However, what are the criteria for those books to be “chewed and digested?” How to tell good literature form bad literature? On these issues, people don’t seem to have reached an agreement. In the article, Joseph Brodsky first states that people’s life is generally much shorter than books, and that it is important for people to select good books to read. Yet, the author further argues that selecting good books from the ocean of literary works is no easy job; even book reviewers can’t help much. In the end, the author suggests that reading poetry is the way to develop good taste in literature, because it is the supreme form of human locution, the moist concise way of conveying the human experience, and offers the highest possible standards for any linguistic operation. Unit2 Recession-proofing Your Career In the text, Dr. Barbara Moses describes a new career development paradigm for today’s employees, that is, guaranteed jobs have already become history and it’s high time to engage in a lifelong, self-monitored process which can help to promote and prepare oneself fro a change, esp. during periods of recession. She then suggests some skills which are

Unit 2 III Translation Practice Exercise 1 A. 1. 麦当劳有很多让农民恼怒的事:千篇-律,平淡无味,还有其所代表的烹饪霸权 2. 至少有40种植物已经通过了政府审核。 3. 到目前为止,还没有任何迹象表明基因重组作物会对任何人造成任何伤害。 4. 即使还没有法律措施,公众舆论正以更加怀疑的态度看待基因改良技术。 5. 这种优质作物受到农民的欢迎是情有可原的,因为对他们来说,产量即使有一丁点 的增长也就意味着利润上的极大提高。 B. 1. In recent years Europeans have become increasingly jumpy about bad food – and with good reason. 2. This year the E.U. banned the importation of non-approved GM corn. 3. It is crucially important that we take stock of this technology’s probable effects on our planet’s ecosystems. 4. We should also take a sober look at the effect of genetic engineering in the social and political realms. 5. Nature is never idle. Through random mutations, nature constantly tests new genetic models of organisms. Exercise 2. A. 1. 全世界的人们都在密切地注视他们食品中的基因构成——并地为他们所看到的一切 越发感到不安。在过去的十年里,随着科学家们将无数的水果和蔬菜的基因重组,使平常的农作物变成了能抵御霜冻、经得起除草剂,甚至产生消灭自身害虫作用的超级作物,基因改良食品已日益成为普遍现象。就总数而言,超过4,500的基因改良植物已经过测试,其中至少有40种——包括13种玉米,11种西红柿和4种大豆——已经通过了政府的审核。 2. 但是,一个国家的禁令对另一国家而言就是一种贸易保护主义,美国对欧洲的举动 持怀疑态度。自从欧洲决定继续禁止进口助长荷尔蒙的美国牛肉以来,美国通过对欧洲某些出口食品征收100%的关税作为反击,欧美之间的关系近来变得越发紧张。在这种激烈的争斗中,转基因食品禁令的审慎态度与报复差不多/ 看似是报复行为,其实是一种审慎。此外,假如欧洲如此担忧转基因食品的话,为什么还要生产它们呢?法国生产的转基因粮食规模不大,而消费得却比其它欧洲国家多。 B. 1. Ready or not, the world is entering the age of genetic engineering. Altered environments and human-created life forms will be part of this new age. Plants may be transformed into miniature factories producing plastics, medicines, or perfumes. Animals may be given human genes to make their tissues compatible with humans, allowing animal hearts and other organs to be transplanted into critically ill people. 2. We should also take a sober look at the effects of genetic engineering in the social and political realms. Because the agricultural and medical benefits of genetic engineering are expensive, poor individuals and poor nations will not be able to afford them – at least not for years to come. As a result, the economic gap between rich and poor is likely to widen. In

英语研究生专业分类

与其他不少考研热门专业一样,英语专业研究生招生的研究方向设置非常细,不同学校的方向设置类别不一,名称也各异。 比如上海外国语大学英语语言文学专业下设有语言方向、文学方向、教学法方向、翻译学方向、口译学方向、英语国家文化方向、跨文化交际方向7个方向。而同样是外语类专业院校,北京外国语大学该专业设置的研究方向明显不同,广东外语外贸大学该专业设置的8个研究方向更与前两所学校无一相同。 在这种情况下,不少备考英语专业的同学对“如何选择研究方向”这样的问题一头雾水,也就不足为怪了。 就英语专业考研而言,外国语言文学下设置的二级学科很多,包括英语语言文学、俄语语言文学、法语语言文学、德语语言文学、日语语言文学、印度语言文学、阿拉伯语语言文学、欧洲语言文学、亚非语言文学、外国语言学及应用语言学、翻译学11个学科。其中,涉及英语专业的二级学科主要有3个:英语语言文学、外国语言学及应用语言学、翻译学。 一般院校的英语专业多设置英语语言文学和外国语言学及应用语言学两个专业,所以,英语专业考研的专业设置其实比较简单,一般就是两大专业。不过,这两个专业被不同学校细化研究方向以后,就变得复杂了。如前面说到的上海外国语大学英语语言文学专业下设有7个方向,这7个方向进一步细分,小的研究方向达37个之多。 英语专业的研究方向虽名目众多,却也并非杂乱无章,其设置仍是遵循一定规律的。粗略分析,这些研究方向可分为传统研究方向和新兴研究方向两大类。 传统研究方向 传统研究方向,顾名思义,指的是设置多年的老牌研究方向,这些研究方向一般学校都有开设。 1. 文学方向 开设学校:全国绝大部分招收英语专业研究生的学校。据2007年的招生统计,仅有17所招收英语专业研究生的学校没有开设文学方向。 研究内容:主要研究英美文学研究领域中的重大问题,目的在于提高文学素养、理论水平和研究能力。 就业方向:此方向开设学校多,招生人数较多,就业范围非常广泛,一般为教师、研究人员。所学课程:西方文论、美国经典文学、美国现当代文学、英国经典文学、文学批评、英国文学选读、美国文学选读、17~19世纪英国文学研究、希腊戏剧研究、英国长篇小说选读、美国长篇小说选读、英国诗歌选读、美国诗歌选读、英美散文鉴赏、王尔德戏剧欣赏、英国短篇小说欣赏、美国短篇小说鉴赏、英美戏剧鉴赏、中国文学史、中国古典文学选读等。 2. 语言学 开设学校:全国绝大部分招收英语专业研究生的学校。据2007年的招生统计,仅有9所招收英语专业研究生的学校没有开设语言学方向。 研究内容:语言学是我国高校近年来普遍设置的一个综合性的语言研究学科。主要学习语言学理论及语言在各种学科中的应用,不同学校侧重点有所不同。 通过大量阅读有关文献、论文和最新的研究成果报告,使学生对于语言学的形成和发展有进一步的了解,并了解现代语言学的最新动向和最新发展。语言学特别强调和重视研究生的广泛阅读,包括专业的外语期刊和近几年的语言学相关论文。 就业方向:该专业理论性较强,主要面向大中专教师及研究人员。 所学课程:语言学概论、语用学与话语分析、应用语言学、现代语法学、语义学、语用学、英语语体学与文体学、语篇分析等。 3. 英美文化研究 开设学校:南京大学、上海外国语大学、天津师范大学等。

Part Three Home Listening Dream vs. Goal Task One Why we need dreams: Dreams give us a vision of a better future. They nourish our spirit; they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality. They keep us going. Dreams are where we want to end up. Interpretation of goals:Goals are concrete objectives. Goals are our day-by-day plans that provide achievable targets for increasing improvement. Goals provide our daily routine. They show us where to start and they establish our priorities. They make us organized and create the discipline in our lives. Goals are how we get there.
