"You're so brave!"
Why is it that a woman travelling alone, as I have often done for months at a time, is perceived to be "brave", whereas men who travel alone are entirely unremarkable？
You are only brave when you are afraid of something but still do it anyway.I have never been afraid of travelling alone.
The first time I travelled alone was when I was19.I was due to travel in Europe with a friend at the end of the summer.She announced by letter two days before our departure that she would be leaving me halfway at Vienna.It was too late by then to rope in another friend, so it was either to go home after Vienna, or keep going by myself.I kept going.I got on trains by myself, checked into hostels by myself and found my way around by myself.It was weird at first, but later I stopped worrying about it.
When I got back to Ireland after that trip, I felt proud of myself.I had done something I had assumed would be hard, and it had turned out to be not hard at all.
That was three decades ago, and since then I have travelled all over the world, usually on my own.I still do what I did then, which is to keep a diary.The greatest gift of solo travel has been those I've met along the way.I may have set off alone each time but I've encountered many people who became important to me.I met my husband in Kathmandu, Nepal.I met lifelong friends in Australia, Poland, Hungary, Turkey, India, Indonesia and many other places.

How Do You See Diversity？
As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company. During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise.
He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said "untrustworthy," so she decided to offer the job to her second choice.
"It wasn't until attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person," Tiffany confesses. What she hadn't known at the time of the interview was that the candidate's "different" behavior. was simply a cultural misunderstanding. He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开)your eyes.
"I was just thrown off by the lack of eye contact; not realizing it was cultural," Tiffany says. "I missed out, but will not miss that opportunity again. "
Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our understanding of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions.
Hire Advantage
At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult, employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏见)from the process have a distinct advantage. My company, Mindsets LLC, helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots. A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make.
"During my Mindsets coaching session, I was taught how to recruit a diversified workforce. I recruited people from different cultures and skill sets. The agents were able to utilize their full potential and experiences to build up the company. When the real estate market began to change, it was because we had a diverse agent pool that we were able to stay in the real estate market much longer than others in the same profession. "
Blinded by Gender
Dale is an account executive who attended one of my workshops on supervising a diverse workforce. "Through one of the sessions, I discovered my personal bias," he recalls. "I learned I had not been looking at a person as a whole person, and being open to differences. " In his case, the blindness was not about culture but rather gender.
"I had a management position open in my department} and the two finalists were a man and a woman. Had I not attended this workshop, I would have automatically assumed the man was the best candidate because the position required quite a bit of extensive travel. My reasoning would have been that even though both candidates were great and could have been successful in the position, I assumed the woman would have wanted to be home with her children and not travel. " Dale's assumptions are another example of the well-intentioned but incorrect thinking that limits an organization's ability to tap into the full potential of a diverse workforce.
"I learned from the class that instead of imposing my gender biases into the situation, I needed to present the full range of duties, responsibilities and expectations to all candidates and allow them to make an informed decision." Dale credits the workshop, "because it helped me make decisions based on fairness."
Year of the Know-It-All
Doug is another supervisor who attended one of my workshops. He recalls a major lesson learned from his own employee.
"One of my most embarrassing moments was when I had a Chinese-American empl

第8题
The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio.The speaker was quoting a Biblical (圣经的) passage about husbands being thoughtful of heir wives.Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will.A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband.Well, for two weeks that would change.
And it did.Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.”
“Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased.Maybe a little puzzled.
After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read.Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach.I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.
So it went.Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums.Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed.I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.
There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however.Evelyn and I still laugh about it today.On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.
“What’s the matter？” I asked her.
“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “do you know something I don’t？”
“What do you mean？”
“Well… that checkup (体检) I had several weeks ago … our doctor… did he tell you something about me？ Tom, you’ve been so good to me… am I dying？”
It took a moment for it all to sink in.then I burst out laughing.
“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms.“You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”

A.unintentionally
B.inevitably
C.impressively
D.unconditionally
27.From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage ________.

Section A
Scientists scanning and mapping the Giza pyramids say they&39;ve discovered that the Great Pyramid of Giza is not exactly even. But really not by much. This pyramid is the oldest of the world‘s Seven Wonders. The pyramid’s exact size has (26) puzzled experts for centuries， as the “more than 21 acres of hard， white casing stones” that originally covered it were (27) removed long ago.
Reporting in the most recent issue of the newsletter “AERAGRAM，” which (28) chronicles the work of the Ancient Egypt Research Associates， engineer Glen Dash says that by using a new measuring approach that involved finding any surviving (29) remnants of the casing in order to determine where the original edge was. They found the east side of the pyramid to be a (30)maximum of 5.55 inches shorter than the west side.
The question that most (31) fascinates him， however， isn&39;t how the Egyptians who designed and built the pyramid got it wrong 4，500 years ago， but how they got it so close to (32) perfect. “We can only speculate as to how the Egyptians could have laid out these lines with such (33) precision using only the tools they had，”Dash writes. He says his (34) hypothesis is that the Egyptians laid out their design on a grid， noting that the great pyramid is oriented only (35) slightly away from the cardinal directions (its north-south axis runs 3 minutes 54 seconds west of due north， while its east-west axis runs 3 minutes 51 seconds north of due east)—an amount that&39;s “tiny， but similar，” Atlas Obscura points out.
A)chronicles
B)complete
C)established
D)fascinates
E)hypothesis
F)maximum
G)momentum
H)mysteriously
I)perfect
J)precision
K)puzzled
L)remnants
M)removed
N)revelations
O)slightly
