As we have invented the age itself, by inventing the computer and telecommunications (along with all their by-products), so now we need to invent a way to understand and live in it.We need a philosophy for the digital age.The creation of a digital age philosophy requires us firstly to understand what the underlying fundamentals are that make this age what it is. What makes this age different?,原文A New Age, A New Philosophy,Some readers might wince a little at the word philosophy, thinking that it belongs in academia, not the real world. I make no apologies for using it because I believe that it is exactly what we need. Going forward without a digital age philosophy is going forward blind.Those of us over 30 were born and reared in the industrial age. We ate, slept and drank its philosophical tenets. They were in front of us every day, in our homes, in our workplaces, in the newspapers, in our conversations, in our classrooms and playgrounds, in our social and economic structures. We understood terms, such as the working class, the five-day week, 9-to-5 and lifetime employment.,Some readers might wince a lit,Our children will imbue a digital age philosophy in a natural day to day manner, but we of the older generations must work much harder. We need to shed much of the skin of our industrial age philosophy and thinking, and then learn to wear the philosophy and thinking of the digital age. We need to understand new terms, such as cyberspace, e-commerce, globalisation, teleworking and virtual organisations.This is not an easy task by any means. It can be both frightening and unnerving. But whether we like it or not we have no choice. If we do not move forward willingly then we will be moved sideways. If we do not become students again, regaining a child-like curiosity and capacity to learn, then we will increasingly find that we are living in a world that we do not understand. If we cannot embrace the digital age, then the digital age will push us aside and pass us by.As Morris Tabaksblat (Chairman of Unilever) has stated:Change: Regard it as an ally and not as an enemy. Understand the process that drives change and you can use it, instead of being used by it. Change: use it, or be used.Of course, this is not to say that everything changes. The industrial age and all its factories and physical, mechanical things will of course not disappear. People still need cars and televisions and houses to live in. However, the role and importance of such physical products will diminish in absolute value terms as the digital age matures. As has happened to agriculture in the industrial age, so too will happen to industry in the digital age.,Our children will imbue a digi,Passage Two你在工作中有乐趣吗？难度 ,Passage Two你在工作中有乐趣吗？难度 ,原文,Are You Having Fun at Work?The lack of humor in workplaces is a real shame, according to experts in corporate culture.

Outstanding communication s,Passage Three我眼中的英国人难度 ,Passage Three我眼中的英国人难度 ,原文,The British Through My EyesWhile I was studying in London as a visiting scholar, I came to know more of the British culture and customs. During one years study, I noticed that the British behaved quite differently in many ways compared to the Chinese.British people tend to be rather conservative. The conservative attitude is only to accept things familiar to them and to be suspicious of anything that is strange or foreign. They like antiques so much that they never hesitate to spend money buying them even if they are useless. A lot of British people remain strongly attached to coal or wood fireplaces, although it causes a great deal of work and adds to the pollution of the air.,原文The British Through My Eyes,Some of them liked to spend a great deal of money and trouble in putting in dummy fireplace, which would never be used; they thought a living room without a fireplace would be a room without basic characteristic of cosiness. Many rooms are in fact heated by gas or electric fires, but they are usually placed in front of old style fireplaces, and many people choose electric fires designed so as to look like coal fires, with imitation pieces of coal which are lit when the current is turned on. To other Europeans, the best-known quality of the British, and in particular of the English, is “reserve”. A reserved person is one who does not talk very much to strangers, does not show much emotion, and seldom gets excited. It is difficult to get to know a reserved person; he never tells you about anything of himself, and you may work with him for years without ever knowing where he lives, how many children he has, and what his interests are.,Some of them liked to spend a,English people tend to be like that. When starting a conversation, one can never ask questions like “How old are you? What is your salary? Where did you buy that watch? ” etc. Similarly, conversation in Britain is general quiet and restrained. Loud speech is considered ill-bred. The reluctance to communicate with each other is an unfortunate quality in some way since it tends to give the impression of coldness, and it is true that the English are not noted for their generosity and hospitality. On the other hand, they are perfectly human behind their barrier of reserve and may be quite pleased when a friendly stranger or foreigner succeeds for a time in breaking the barrier down. Closely related to English reserve is English modesty. Within their heart, the English are perhaps no less conceited than anybody else, but in their relations with others, they value, at least, a show of modesty. Self-praise is felt to be ill-bred. If a person who is very good at table tennis is asked if he is a good player, he will seldom reply “Yes”, because people will think him conceited. He will probably give an answer like, “I am not bad.” or “I am very keen on it.” Also the English are famous for sense of humour. Its starting point is self-depreciation; they like laughing at their own faults, failures and embarrassments, even at their ideals. But they never laugh at a disabled person or a madman. Sympathy is felt to be stronger than laughter.,English people tend to be like,The British people are known for their politeness, but nowadays their habits of politeness are not as formal as before. The greetings such as “Good morning” or “Hello” are enough for each other when people meet. If they happen to see each other in the distance, a cheery wave of the hand is quite satisfactory. Handshakes are only exchanged on a first introduction, special occasions, or as a token of agreement or congratulation. But they do embrace or kiss a lot whenever or wherever they meet if they are friends.British people do not readily ask each other to do anything that would involve real inconvenience. They prefer to wait for such service to be offered rather than ask for it. It is often polite to refuse an offer of service. In the same way, British people sometimes make offers purely out of politeness, not really expecting them to be accepted, and offers like those are usually refused with corresponding politeness.,The British people are known f,If you are invited to a persons home on a social occasion, it is not very common or polite to arrive early as the hostess will be preparing for you, and will feel embarrassed if you arrive before she is quite ready. Ten minutes late is excellent for such an occasion. The British are rather particular about table manners. If you do not know much of it, just sit up straight and copy everyone else, asking what to do if you are not sure. The British like to have conversations during meals so it is pleasing to keep the conversation going. There are no rules about what time to leave after the dinner, but it is not polite to stay too late as it implies a lack of consideration for your hosts. As for presents, the best things to choose are a bunch of flowers, a bottle of wine, a packet of chocolates or some other small things. If you are invited to a birthday party, it is also good to add a card or a book to the present. It is not popular to give each other expensive things as presents.,If you are invited to a person,Passage Four玫 瑰 之 歌难度 ,Passage Four玫 瑰 之 歌难度 ,原文,The RoseThe first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didnt already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being. She said, “Hi handsome. My name is Rose. Im eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?” I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “Im here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel.” “No, seriously?” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.,原文The Rose,“I always dreamed of having a college education and now Im getting one!” she told me. After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed up her from the other students. She was living it up. At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. Ill never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three-by-five cards on the floor. Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said, “Im sorry Im so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this whisky is killing me! Ill never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know.”,“I always dreamed of having a,As we laughed she cleared her throat and began: “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success.”“You have to laugh and find humor every day.”“Youve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking aroun
