(40 points)0 While everyone is different, there arc a few common themes that surface for those with a history of abuse. For instance, its unlikely that one who suffe

2、red abuse was taught much about boundaries. Yet good boundaries are inherent in any healthy relationship. This comes up in a variety of ways. For example, many couples have learned to be very careful not to say hurtful things to their partner during a fight; theyve learned not to be flirtatious with

3、 others if they are in an exclusive relationship. These may seem like small concerns, but they actively maintain safety and respect, both for each other and for the integrity of the relationship. People without abuse history typically recognize when another person(man or woman)is “coming onto“ them

4、inappropriately, and they have no trouble telling the “intruder,“ so to speak, to back off. With abuse history, especially if the abuse was chronic, we dont even recognize inappropriate behavior, because such behavior was “normalized“ during ones childhood. The abuse survivor then is less likely to

5、take steps to protect oneself, and is left with an array of feelings, including frustration, disappointment, confusion, anger, and resignation. How different it becomes when the survivor learns to recognize inappropriate behavior for what it is, use appropriate boundaries, move on, and then be able

6、to open to what we do want, a person who is respectful, loving, honest, and so on. “As children, when our parents directly contradict our inner voice, our intuitive knowing, well trust them and discount our own truth. As adults, we have to learn to trust our intuition all over again. “Another unfort

7、unate, but repairable, side effect of sexual abuse is that we have often lost trust in our intuition. If our intuition told us that something that happened wasnt right, hut all the adults in our family said, “I dont see any problem here“, or “Youre lying! Shame on you!“ we get confused. As children

8、we need to trust our parents for our basic survival. When our parents say and do things that directly contradict our inner voice, our intuitive knowing, well trust mom or dad, and discount ourselves. For children, its safer this way. But as adults, it takes retraining to trust our intuition again. T

9、his is a gradual process, but it can be done. Once we trust our inner knowing more fully, we become confident, more empowered, and more able to receive what is beneficial to us. Love, trust, intimacy, and ease are not only possible; they are our birthright. We mustnt allow someone elses violation of

10、 us to impede our right to love and be loved. Thankfully, we dont have to.1 By citing the example of many couples, the author intends to show that _.（A）good boundaries are small concerns rather than big deals（B） its silly for one to say hurtful things to his or her partner（C） one should never be fli

11、rtatious with unfamiliar people（D）there are things prohibited in a healthy relationship2 People with abuse history are_.（A）unwilling to take steps to protect themselves（B） likely to have an unhealthy relationship with others（C） willing to maintain a normal relationship with others（D）likely to build

15、 improvement. Paid holidays there, for instance, are considerably shorter than in Europe. Flexible working and the occasional sabbatical may be the local alternative to Europes longer annual leave, a one-off levelling of the non-pay elements of remuneration in the face of international competition.

16、The introduction of flexible working, of itself, gives no guarantee that employees work life balance will improve. The same technology that enables them to work flexibly from home or on the road also prevents them from ever leaving their office. There are lots of people who choose to sleep close to

17、their mobile phones and their BlackBerries.Is the fashion for work-life balance here to stay? Plenty of companies eschew such corporate programmes. Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia recently told employees to leave if they were not prepared to work weekends and long evenings over the coming months for

18、 no extra reward. Sylvia Ann Hewlett, president of the Centre for Work-Life Policy in New York, says that many workers still have what she calls “extreme jobs“.

19、ging nature of work, says that young workers today are increasingly “chunking“ their lives, dividing them into discrete bits. These include work, parenting, travelling and doing something completely different. He believes this marks a change in attitude that is slowly filtering down from elite knowl

20、edge workers to manufacturing employees.Heavy lay-offs in the early 1990s, mostly the result of enthusiasm for the ephemeral fad of re-engineering, changed attitudes to work. For many, downsizing sounded the death-knell for having a job for life.Some go further, arguing that in the not-too-long term

21、, the desire of global firms to entice the Wests educated elite may disappear in a flash of enthusiasm for the graduates of Indias and Chinas tertiary-education systems. Even today, less than one in five of the worlds university graduates are white men.However, Liz Ramos, the partner at Bain and thi

This moral is as clear and well-established as the recorded history of the lingua franca phenomenon.English will not decline as a first language: Indeed for the foreseeable future it will be among the five major mother tongues of the world. Spread out wo

23、rldwide, it may even change and ultimately split into a family of languages. But it would go against the pattern of world history if alien peoples patronized English for very much longer than necessary.In sum, the world in the next few generations is likely to see greater multilingualism and less En

24、glish-backed bilingualism.
