For many men and women today ,the image that a watch communicates is more important  than the time it tells. “Complications”-----features that go beyond simple timekeeping-----are an important part of a watch’s image. Today’s watches offer a host of complications that suit almost  any personality. These features include altitude trackers ,compasses, lunar calendars, USB drivers ,and even devices that measure the effectiveness of golf swings!

Creativity is also a key element in today’s watches ,for men as well as women. The Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that don’t even look like watches .The company’s popular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell the time .It looks more like a futuristic bracelet than a watch .Another Japanese watchmaker , EleeNo, makes a “handless” watch .Using a ring of circles to keep time, this watch makes an excellent conversation piece.

    In the past, the image of a man’s watch was quite different from that of a woman’s. Men’s watches tend to be bolder, larger, and more complicated than women’s watches, which were more likely to look like jewelry. Today, the differences between men’s and women’s watches are disappearing. Watchmakers are adding diamonds to their fine watches for man. And for women, they’re designing larger watches that contain complications. For example, some women’s watches now have calendars that show the phrases of the moon. Others show the time in two different cities, a handy function for business travelers. However, women still pay more attention than most men to the external beauty of a watch. And unlike men, women are still more likely to purchase watches that suit particular items in their wardrobes.

   A. appointments for the day            B. which direction is north

Telephone tips
If the phone rings and someone speaks in English, don’t be afraid to answer it! The fear of talking on the phone in a second language will disappear if you practice often. Here are a few tips for helping you improve your ability to answer a call in English.
81._______________
Listening to someone speaking in a second language over the telephone can be very challenging because you cannot see the person you are trying to hear. However, it may be even more difficult for the person you are talking with to understand you. You may not realize that your pronunciation isn’t clear because your teacher and fellow students know and understand you. Pay special attention to your weak areas of your pronunciation when you are on the phone.
82._______________
Don’t pretend to understand everything you hear over the telephone. Even native speakers ask each other to repeat and confirm information from time to time. This is especially important if you are taking a message for someone else. Learn the appropriate expressions that English speakers use when they don’t hear something properly. Don’t be afraid to remind the person to slow down more than once. Keep your telephone in an area that is away from other noise distractions such as a radio or television.
83._______________.
Ask another student to practice talking on the phone with you. You might choose one night a week and take turns phoning each other at a certain time. Try to talk for at least fifteen minutes. You can talk socially, or role play different scenarios in a business environment. The most important thing about practicing telephone English is that you are not able to see each other’s mouths.
84. _______________. 
There are many ways to get free telephone English practice. After business hours, you can call and listen to recorded messages. Write down what you hear the first time, and then call back and check if your notes are accurate. Make sure you have a pen handy so that you can repeat the information and check your comprehension.
85._______________.
The way that you speak to your best friend on the phone is very different from the way you should speak to someone in a business setting. Many speakers make the mistake of being too direct on the telephone. It is possible that the person on the other line will think that you are being rude on purpose if you don’t use formal language in certain situations. Sometimes just one word such as could or may is necessary in order to sound polite. Take the time to learn how to answer the phone and say goodbye in a polite manner, as well as all the various ways one can start and end a conversation casually.
Listening to someone on the telephone is like listening to a taped recording in class. The only difference is that you have to talk back! Follow the tips above and remember that practice makes perfect!

No matter what type of business you run, it has to deal with situations in which things go wrong from your customer’s point of view. Complaints can be a great source of information for the organizations. So it’s important to learn to deal with customer complaints efficiently.

    Firstly, listen actively to what the customer has to say by keeping comfortable eye contact and giving full attention with no interrupting. You should also show your customer that you do understand him.

    Secondly, when receiving a complaint you should apologize for the failure the customer has identified. It’s important for you to know that your apology must appear authentic to the customer, and not an empty exercise. And also you should show the customer you’ve accepted the responsibility and provide him with choices if you have some in hand or otherwise assure the customer you’ll do something about his complaint.

    Thirdly, talk with the consumer and discover the best means to resolve his problem. There will be times when, after gathering the facts of a situation, you’ll be unable to resolve the problem immediately. In this case it’s important to let your customer know how long it’ll take to take action on his complaint.

    Fourthly, a simple “Thank you” is one way to let the customer know you appreciate the time and effort he has taken to inform you about a problem with your company’s service or product you need to know about.

    Lastly, give your customer something that shows your appreciation for him giving the feedback to you. And let him know you’re sorry for the mistake that was made. It isn’t necessary to give something that is costly; but a coupon(贈(zèng)券) for a free drink or movie is fine.

Your professional and well-organized method of dealing with your customer complaints is one more way that will make you stay ahead of your competitors.

1.What does the passage mainly talk about?

It’s a nightmare for Huazhong University of Science and Technology （HUST）: within a week，two students committed suicide by jumping off dorm buildings．對(duì)于整個(gè)華中科技大學(xué)來(lái)說(shuō)，這簡(jiǎn)直就是場(chǎng)噩夢(mèng)：一周之內(nèi)，兩名學(xué)生在宿舍跳樓自殺。

Officials from the university are reluctant to give interviews．校方官員們不愿接受采訪(fǎng)。

“We had a hard time calming down students who were shocked at the suicides,” said Zhang Jingyuan，one official of HUST．

“Media coverage may arouse some students’ negative emotions again．Suicide can be contagious,” Zhang said．他說(shuō)，“媒體的報(bào)道將會(huì)再次引發(fā)學(xué)生的消極情緒，自殺是會(huì)傳染的�！�

The university reacted promptly to the first suicide on October 23．對(duì)于今年10月23號(hào)發(fā)生的第一起自殺事件，華中科技大學(xué)迅速做出應(yīng)急措施。

Advisors and class leaders conducted dorm-to-dorm checks to find students suffering depression．Then psychologists offered one-on-one counseling to them．輔導(dǎo)員和班長(zhǎng)們走訪(fǎng)了每個(gè)宿舍，找出遭遇抑郁的學(xué)生。然后，心理咨詢(xún)師會(huì)為這些學(xué)生提供一對(duì)一的心理咨詢(xún)。

Notice boards publicizing tips for identifying peers’ mental problems and offering help were set up in front of dorm buildings．Leaflets carrying similar information were handed out to each dorm．宿舍樓前豎起一些布告欄，為同學(xué)們普及關(guān)于如何發(fā)現(xiàn)身邊人遭遇心理問(wèn)題并提供幫助的小貼士。印有類(lèi)似內(nèi)容的小冊(cè)子也被分發(fā)給每個(gè)寢室。

However，the second suicide came seven days later．然而，七天后，第二起自殺事件發(fā)生了。

Both students were described as men of few words．Their schoolmates didn’t see anything to indicate suicide．據(jù)周?chē)嗣枋�，這兩名學(xué)生都很少言寡語(yǔ)。他們的同學(xué)都沒(méi)有覺(jué)察到任何自殺前的征兆。

Zhang revealed that the two students had been bothered by mental disorders．But the school didn’t know this until the students’ close friends outside school and their parents unveiled the truth after the suicides．章勁元透露，這兩名學(xué)生曾經(jīng)飽受心理疾病的困擾。但是學(xué)校對(duì)此并不知情，他們校外的好友和家長(zhǎng)也是在自殺事件發(fā)生后才說(shuō)出實(shí)情。

According to Zhang，there are only three full-time counselors working in the university’s counseling center for its 60,000 students．He complained: “It’s unrealistic to rely only on counselors to detect students’ mental problems．”據(jù)章勁元說(shuō)，全校共有六萬(wàn)名學(xué)生，但學(xué)校的心理咨詢(xún)中心只有三位全職心理咨詢(xún)師。他抱怨說(shuō)：“僅僅依靠心理咨詢(xún)師來(lái)察覺(jué)學(xué)生的心理問(wèn)題，這是不現(xiàn)實(shí)的。”

Effective prevention comes from long-term education for life instead of temporary intervention to meet an emergency，said Hu Yi’an．Hu delivers a course of lectures on life and death at Guangzhou University．He worries that universities have paid little attention to education for life．有效的預(yù)防來(lái)自于長(zhǎng)期的生命教育，而并非遭遇緊急狀況時(shí)的臨時(shí)干預(yù)，胡毅安（音譯）說(shuō)。他在廣州大學(xué)教授以生命和死亡為主題的課程。他為各大高校給予生命教育的關(guān)注少之又少而擔(dān)憂(yōu)。

“Education for life helps students respect and love life so they won’t resort to ending their lives when they have difficulties,” said Hu．“生命教育可以幫助學(xué)生尊重、熱愛(ài)生命，這樣一來(lái)，當(dāng)他們遇到困難的時(shí)候就不會(huì)選擇結(jié)束生命了,” 胡毅安說(shuō)。

According to Hu，the principles can be incorporated into everyday teaching．胡毅安還表示，這些觀念可以融入到日常教學(xué)中去。

Hu is also concerned that some universities are conveying discriminatory message that will hold back students from seeking help．胡老師也很擔(dān)心一些大學(xué)傳遞出帶有歧視性的信息會(huì)使得學(xué)生們不愿去尋求幫助。

When HUST conducted the dorm-to-dorm examination，students with poor academic performance were paid special attention．In March，Peking University also released a controversial policy，which required teachers to have a chat with students “with biased thinking”．當(dāng)華中科技大學(xué)校方挨個(gè)宿舍進(jìn)行走訪(fǎng)時(shí)，學(xué)習(xí)成績(jī)較差的學(xué)生也被給予了特別關(guān)照。三月份，北京大學(xué)也推行了一項(xiàng)備受爭(zhēng)議的政策，該新規(guī)要求教師們要找那些學(xué)生中的“激進(jìn)分子”談話(huà)。

However，Hu suggested that students step out of their comfort zone to seek real-life communication．

D．decided
