45、high performers is their intense, pleasurable concentration on work, rather than on their competitors or future glory or money, says DrCharles Garfield, who has studied 1,500 achievers in business, science, sports, the arts, and professions“They are interested in winning, but theyre most interested

46、in self-development, testing their limits”One of the most surprising things about top performers is how many losses theyve had and how much theyve learned from each “Not one of the 1,500 I studied defined losing as failing,” Garfield says“They kept calling their losses setbacks”A healthy attitude to

47、ward setbacks is essential to winning, experts agree“The worst thing you can do if youve had a setback is to let yourself get stuck in a prolonged depression You should analyze carefully what went wrong, identify specific things you did right and give yourself credit for them” Garfield believes that

So, you can imagine that I was unprepared for the outpouring of public grief(悲伤) at a Chinese funeral.My editorial team leader died r

52、ecently after a short illness. He was 31. The news was so unexpected that it left us all shocked and upset. A female colleague burst into tears and cried piteously at her desk. Somehow we got through the days work. The next day was the funeral. Our big boss stepped forward to deliver a eulogy and wa

53、s soon in tears. She carried on, in Chinese of course, but at the end said in English: There will be no more deadlines for you in heaven. Next came a long-term colleague who also dissolved in tears but carried on with her speech despite being almost overcome by emotion. Then a close friend of the de

54、ad man paid tribute(哀悼), weeping openly as he spoke. Sorrow is spreading. Me and women were now sobbing uncontrollably. Finally, the mans mother, supported between two women, addressed her son in his coffin. At one point, the mother almost collapsed and had to be held up. We were invited to step for

55、ward to each lay a white rose on the casket. Our dead colleague looked as if he was taking a nap. At the end of the service I walked away from the funeral parlor stunned at the outpouring of emotion. In the UK, families grieve privately and then try to hold it together and not break down at a funera

56、l. Here in China it would seem that grieving is a public affair. It strikes me that it is more cathartic to cry your eyes out than try to keep it bottled up for fear of embarrassment, which is what many of us do in the West. Afterwards, a Chinese colleague told me that the lamenting at the funeral h

57、ad been restrained(克制) by Chinese standards. In some rural areas, she said, people used to be paid to mourn noisily. This struck me like something out of novel by Charles Dickens. But we have all seen on TV scenes of grief-stricken people in Gaza and the West Bank, in Afghanistan, Iraq and the relat

58、ives of victims of terrorist bombings around the world. Chinese grief is no different. I realized that its the reserved British way of mourning that is out of step with the rest of the world. It was our newspapers production day. We were bussed back to the office to resume work. No more deadlines fo

59、r our former colleague, but we had to pull together to put the newspaper to print. The boss invited the team to go out for dinner after work. We relaxed, smiled, joked. There was no mention of the funeral or our poor colleague. Enough sorrow had been shed already. We needed a break.56The underlined

78、ersion:I was shocked by the picture at first sight. In the picture, by a small river, a little boy had tears on his lovely face and an old man, maybe his grandfather, was wiping his tears. From the clothes they are wearing we can see that they are poor. The boy was sad. Is it because his parents are working in a place far away from home and the boy is missing them day and night? I think so. At present, many parents leave their children at home in order to support their family. These parents have no choice. I hope something can be done to help these parents get back home as soon as possible.
