My wife's friend Rachel wouldn't stop complaining (抱怨).For twenty minutes she had a series of complaints. She complained about her job. She com?plained about her company's new policies. She complained about the economy. Most of all, she complained about her lack of sales at work.
I don't remember saying this, but Rachel likes to remind me that I finally stopped her from complaining by saying, "Rachel, will you please shut up?" Then I said, "It is really simple. You have a choice. You can accept your present job with a positive attitude and decide to do your best every day or you can find a new job in a new company. But whatever you do, stop complaining because it's not doing you any good. Either change your job or change your at?titude towards your job. " The conversation was over and so was our friendship, I thought, because Rachel wouldn't speak to me for a few months.
Then my wife and I saw her at a party and she told me that while it didn't feel good to hear what I had said* she decided to take my advice. She stayed in her job, stopped complaining and started selling more. Three months after changing her attitude, her sales were up 30%. A year later, her sales were up 70%. Everyone in her company wanted to know how she was doing it.
Rachel stopped complaining and started winning. How about you? Is complaining sabotaging you or your team? If complaining is holding you back, I know how you feel. I used to be a complainer. That's why I knew what Rachel needed To hear. I was in a similar situation 10 years ago. But I've learned that when you stop complaining and take positive action, you start winning. Give it a try !

When most of us hear the word chocolate, the verb that comes to mind is probably "eat", not "drink", and the most proper adjective would seem to be "sweet". But for about 90 per cent of chocolate's long history, it was strictly a beverage (飲料),and sugar didn't have anything to do with it.
The origin of chocolate
Many modern historians have estimated that choco?late has been around for about 2,000 years, but recent research suggests that it may be even older.
In the book The True History of Chocolate , au?thors Sophie and Michael Coe prove that the earliest lin?guistic (語言 學(xué)的) evidence of chocolate consumption dates back three or even four thousand years.
Valuable and fashionable chocolate beverage
It's hard to discover exactly when chocolate was born, but it's clear that it was cherished from the start. For several centuries in pre-modern Latin America, ca?cao beans were considered valuable enough to be used as currency. 100 beans could purchase a good hen, accord?ing to a 16th-century Aztec document.
Sweetened chocolate didn't appear until Europeans discovered the Americans and sampled(品嘗)the native cuisine. Chocolate didn't suit the foreigners' taste at first―one described it in his writings as "a bitter drink for pigs"―but once mixed with honey or cane sugar, it quickly became popular throughout Spain. By the 17th century, chocolate was a fashionable drink throughout Europe , believed to have nutritious , medicinal func?tions. But it remained largely a privilege of the rich until the invention of the steam engine made mass production possible in the late 1700s.
The birth of solid chocolate
In 1828, a Dutch chemist found a way to make powdered chocolate. His product became known as "Dutch cocoa", and it soon led to the creation of solid chocolate. In 1847, Joseph Fry created the first modern chocolate bar. By 1868, a little company called Cadbury was marketing boxes of chocolate candies in England.
Milk chocolate hit the market a few years later. Prosperous chocolate industry
InAmerica, chocolate was so valued during the Revolutionary War that it was used instead of wages. Even now, statistics show that the humble cacao bean is still a powerful economic force. Chocolate manufactur?ing is a more than 4-billion-dollar industry in theUnited States, and the average American eats at least half a pound of the stuff per month.
1. The earliest chocolate was most probably .
A. a dish B. a drink C. a bar D. a candy
2. It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. the history of chocolate is at most 4,000 years
B. people around the world could buy things with chocolate
C. chocolate was well paid attention to since it was born
D. an American at least eats a pound of chocolate per month
3. Why did chocolate suit the Spanish's taste so quickly?
A. Because chocolate was so tasty and bitter.
B. Because chocolate was believed to be a source of nutrition.
C. Because chocolate was sweetened with honey or cane sugar.
D. Because chocolate became a fashionable beverage.
4. Which one shows the correct order according to the time of their appearing?
A. chocolate beverage —chocolate bar ― chocolate candies—milk chocolate
B. chocolate bar ― chocolate beverage ― chocolate candies—milk chocolate
C. chocolate bar — chocolate candies —milk choco?late—chocolate beverage
D. chocolate beverage —chocolate candies choco?late bar—milk chocolate

A
About ten men in every hundred suffer from colour blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!
There are different forms of colour blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green―a strange world indeed.
Colour blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called "cones". These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colours. There are also millions of "rods"? but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no colour.
Some insects have favourite colours. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favourite colours. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colours by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colours around us.
1.The passage is mainly about .
A. colour and its surprising effects
B. women being luckier than men

A. tell different shapes B. see in a weak light

3.Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?
A. Women are more careful.
B. There are fewer colour-blind women. ,'
C. Women are fonder of driving than men.

A. Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing colour.
B. None of them can see deep red.
C. None of them can tell the difference between blue and green.
