1、Passage 10Your boss holds your future prospects in his hands. Some bosses are hard to get along with.
Some have excellent qualifications but no idea when it comes to dealing with people. Of course,
not all bosses are like that.
The relationship you have with your boss can be a major factor in determining your rise up
the career ladder. Your boss is not only your leader, he is also the person best equipped to help you
do the job you are paid to do. He can inform you of company direction that may affect your
professional development.
Your boss also needs you to perform at your best in order to accomplish his objectives. He
needs your feedback in order to provide realistic and useful reports to upper management. But
how does this help you establish a meaningful working relationship with your boss?
The key is communication. Learn and understand his goals and priorities (优先的事).
Observe and understand your boss‘s work style. If he has not been clear with his expectations, ask!
Likewise, ask for feedback and accept criticism gracefully. And if he understands that you do not
view your job as just something to fill the hours between 9 and 5, he may be more likely to help
you.
In short, getting along with your boss requires getting to know his likes and dislikes and
learning to work with his personality and management style.

1、Passage 7Greek soldiers sent messages by turning their shields toward the sun. The flashes reflected
light could be seen several miles away. The enemy did not know what the flashes meant, but other
Greek soldiers could understand the message.
Roman soldiers in some places built long rows of signal towers. When they had a message to
send, the soldiers shouted it from tower to tower. If there were enough towers and soldiers with
loud voices, important news could be sent quickly over distance.
In Africa, people learn to send messages by beating on a series of large drums. Each drum
was kept within hearing distance of the next one. The drum beats were sent out in a special way
that all the drummers understood. Though the messages were simple, they could be sent at great
speed for hundreds of miles.
In the eighteenth century, a French engineer found a new way to send short messages. In this
way, a person held a flag in each hand and the arms were moved to various positions representing
different letters of the alphabet. It was like spelling out words with flags and arms.
Over a long period of time, people sent messages by all these different ways. However, not
until the telephone was invented in America in the nineteenth century could people send speeches
sounds over a great distance in just a few seconds.
