...Burnout happens when people who have previously been highly committed to a job lose all interest and motivation. Sadly, this can spell the end of a successful career. Burnout can be described as “the extinction of motivation or incentive, especially where one's devotion to a cause or relationship fails to produce the desired results,” and is a stress-related state. It mainly strikes highly-committed, passionate, hard working and successful people – and it therefore holds a special fear for those who care passionately about their careers and about the work they do. "(Preventing Burnout Signs, Symptoms, Causes, And Coping Strategies", 2011). “A state of physical, emotional and mental exhaustion caused by long term involvement in emotionally demanding situations.” “A state of fatigue or frustration brought about by devotion to a cause, way of life, or relationship that failed to produce the expected reward.” – Herbert J Freudenberger Unclear Requirements: When it’s not clear to workers how to succeed, it’s harder for them to be confident, enjoy their work, and feel they’re doing a good job. If the job description isn’t explained clearly, if the requirements are constantly changing and hard to understand, or if expectations are otherwise unclear, workers are at higher risk of burnout. Impossible Requirements: Sometimes it’s just not possible to do a job as it’s explained. If a job’s responsibilities exceed the amount of time given to complete them properly,...

...高一英语语法突破讲义 主讲：徐昊 欢迎使用新东方在线电子教材 [pic] Unit 1 冠词 第一部分 不定冠词(a/an之间的区别) 口诀：听其音，忘其形！ 语法上定义的标准答案: 如果一个单词以元音发音开头，则使用“an”; 如果一个单词以辅音发音开头，则使用“a”； 注意：在判断过程中，不能根据单词之前是元音或辅音开头，关键是看单词本身是元音或 辅音发音开头来判断。 例题：__a_usual book; an___ unusual book；_a__ horse ；_an__ hour 前一组单词都是以元音开头的，但使用的不定冠词却不同； 后一组单词都是以辅音开头的，但使用的不定冠词也是不同； 例题：There is _____"M" in the word "mouse". 因为发的为单元音，则填“an” (M部分用O进行替换) 因为发的为单元音，则填“an” (M部分用U进行替换) 因为是辅音发音开头，则填“a” (M部分用S进行替换) 因为是辅音发音开头，则填“a” 第二部分 定冠词与不定冠词的辨析(区别a/an、the ) 何为口语化判断准则？ 不需要怎么思考就可以判断的准则，称之为口语化判断准则。 回顾：1、第一次提到用“a或an”，以后再次提到用“the” ; 2、非特指用a/an，特指时用the. 遇见复杂问题时，使用强行翻译法； 强行翻译法如何使用？ 1、在所需要辨别的空格内生硬的填入“这个”； 2、翻译“这个”所在的句子； 3、把翻译的句子带入到具体的语境当中； 4、并判断其逻辑是否成立(可以理解为因果关系是否成立); 5、如果因果关系成立——〉the；因果关系不成立——〉a/an. 例题：A：Have you seen ____pen? I left it here this morning. B：Is it ____ black one? I saw it somewhere. A.a ,a B. a, the C. the, a D. the,the 例题分析：第一步强行填入“这个”，译文为：你见过这只笔吗？ 结合全文语境，可知不符合逻辑因果关系不成立。 1. 冠词 第一段 快乐大篷车 第三部分 零冠词与冠词 注:但凡遇见复杂的、零散的的知识点时，采用故事记忆法。 故事记忆：——看球痴绝食路 进行概念上的换动 ；(食——>冠词) 1. 绝食的原因: 球 思路分析：因为球而绝食，绝食即为绝冠词，绝冠词就是零冠词，所以遇球 就绝食，则可知遇见球类一定使用零冠词的。 例：打篮球 play basketball 知识扩展: 棋类(同样不使用冠词的) 笔记：have breakfast 吃早餐 have lunch...

...the 1950’s. During that time period we didn’t create lightweight motorcycles and left that to the British and Japanese, this left us with complete control over the heavyweight and super heavy weight motorcycles market. If we would have created a strategic alliance with these companies we would then be creating more competition for ourselves and who knows the consumers that would jump ship due to brand alliance. 2. In America, Harley has shifted the positioning of its products away from simply motorcycles and more towards being status symbols of a particular lifestyle. What are the implications of cultural factors for positioning in other countries that Harley has targeted for growth – ones like Japan, China, France, and Brazil? a. The Harley Davidson lifestyle is one that is difficult to transfer into other markets just based on the fact that the lifestyle is based on American culture.

...end to creative freedom. The South Korean cinema resurfaced in the 1990s, taking a new step and presenting films that mix a variety of genres and different sensibilities. After the 1997 International Monetary Fund economic crisis, South Korea experienced an unusually rapid growth in the film industry and faced its first “stirrings of what was to develop into a creative and commercial boom” (Paquet 37). In early 1998, in the midst of the industrial transformation, director Hur Jin-Ho released a “muted, tragic-themed melodrama” (Paquet 37) - Christmas in August. The film ranked as one of the highest grossing at the domestic box office in 1998, benefiting greatly from its casting of the two lead roles - actor Han Seok-Kyu and actress Shim Eun-Ha. The two leads carry out a natural performance throughout the film and display a remarkable chemistry with their delightfully low-key and perfect depiction of each of the protagonists. Unlike the traditional melodramas, Christmas in August bypasses the usual onscreen dramatics and focuses on the smaller, intimate moments occurring between companions and members of a family confronting the reality of a slowly approaching, unavoidable loss. Hur Jin-Ho’s Christmas in August takes an unconventional approach, keeping the plot quiet and pleasant throughout - illustrating a romantic and domestic...

...Young-mi (Ha Ji Won), is a young woman who has lost her parents and struggling to fend for herself. She receives the assistance of a stranger who pays her university fees and sends her gifts. She affectionately nicknames her benefactor “Daddy-Long-Legs”. After completing her studies and initially struggling for work, Young-mi eventually obtains her dream job as a program writer in a nationally-syndicated radio station. On top of this, it has been arranged for her to stay rent-free in a nice house that the owner vacated due to health reasons. Young-mi believes that her good fortune is the work of her “Daddy-Long-Legs”. One day, Young-mi receives an email from the owner of the house. The email was date-stamped to arrive at the house's computer on that specific day, though it was written and sent a year earlier. The email details a love story written by the unseen owner of the house. The writer confesses that she has secretly been in love with a guy since her school days. In order to be near him, she worked hard to obtain a place in the same course at the institution he was studying in. Although she didn't have the courage to introduce herself, she was happy to see him every day. The writer explains that when he got a job at a radio station, she followed him there. But then she was diagnosed with a terminal disease which would cause her to lose her memory and then die.

...order and discipline. The stars, the planets, the earth on which we live, the moon and the sun we see, move according to a system of discipline. We can see that plants, insects, birds and animals too observe discipline in their lives, only man who has a thinking mind finds it difficult to observe discipline. Discipline could be divided into two broad categories, external and internal. External discipline is that which is imposed by outside authority. It is often linked with authority and force. Discipline in the army is one such. Soldiers do not have a say in it except implicit obedience. As Tennyson says “Theirs not to make reply. Theirs not to reason why, theirs nut to do and die”. A soldier in a war field cannot ask for reasons. He has to obey commands; otherwise, the war is lost. Our ancient educational system believed in enforcing discipline by force. They used to say, if you spare the rod you will spoil the child. But that view is not correct. It will produce only negative results. That is why discipline has taken a new shape in schools and colleges now. It is call self-discipline. It is discipline by acceptance, not by imposition. We live in a democracy. Democracy is based on the will of majority of its citizens. It has to be accepted and obeyed. Otherwise democracy loses its meaning and leads to anarchy.
