Part A
Direction: Read the following passage carefully and then translate the underlined sentences into Chinese.
As a trainer, what exactly motivates you to get up and go to work each morning? Is it money, recognition, affiliation, or something else?
Still others have limited self-images of what they can achieve, an image often shaped by a boss or an organization.
71.I believe the key to personal effectiveness at work (and to job satisfaction, also) is knowing what motivates us to perform at our best. It's then up to us to seek opportunities to fulfill these motivations. When a job no longer motivates us, it's time to move on. Jobs have lifecycles, so take stock of where you are and decide if that's where you want to be. Consider the following.
1.Do you enjoy what you do? Nobody's excited about their job all the time, but you need to derive something from the work each day if you're going to perform effectively. And money usually isn't a motivator. We're motivated by the desire to do good, to be effective, to connect with others, to be creative, or to make a difference. What really lights your fire? Have you gotten away from that in your work? You may have, yet not even know it.
2.Does your organization want you to realize your full potential? I believe many organizations lack the competence to develop or even keep good people. I've seen too many cases of individuals sent packing from organizations because they were more talented than their boss could stand, or because they did not always play by the company rules.
72.Also, prejudice and chauvinism still exist in the workplace. While we like to think women managers have achieved parity with men, this isn't true. The glass (some say concrete) ceiling stull exists in many places. So, if you're a minority, consider how this is affecting your advancement chances. Don't be bitter, but do get busy. It may be time to get out and find something better.
3.Feel plateaued or pigeonholed in your job? Then look for ways to make your job a “learning-ground.” Explore those informal, “out-of-the-box” ways we can keep growing professionally, even if we're suffering from a career slump, working for a tyrant, or “trapped” in a job that doesn't fully use our talents.
For example, find a way to increase responsibility at work (and in so doing, acquire some experience you've been longing to add to your resume). Or eager to be published? Then, write an article for a professional journal. Time to polish your oratorical skills? Speak at a professional conference or serve on the speaker's committee for you local ASTD Chapter.
73.There are always ways to leverage your professional experience, even if that experience has been unpleasant. I know people who've written articles about sexual harassment based on their own negative experiences, then become stars on the speaking circuit because of it. Others have become consultants, specializing in areas they developed while employed by others.
Part B
Direction: Translate the following short paragraph into English and write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.
自从理查德·尼克松向癌症宣战以来已经有三十年了。其间，不少专家、学者耗费巨资试图寻找各种方法以攻克这个难题。但是今天的癌症死亡率与七十年代仍旧差不多一样高。美国妇女中死于乳腺癌患者是世界上许多其他国家的五到三十倍。在泰国每十万妇女中仅2至5人死于乳腺癌，而美国的妇女会有30至40人遭此厄运。就其原因，没有人会否认其与饮食很有关系。有些科学家认为：“每天人们摄入二至三磅食物，这是我们与环境最大范围的接触。”因此人们必须十分重视良好的饮食习惯。虽说正确的饮食习惯不能根除世界上的癌症，但它有利于减少患癌症的风险。
