Self-Esteem and Luxury GoodsAccording to a study, lowself-esteem is a big factor in whether a person will buy luxury goods that hemay not be able to afford.For consumers trapped ininstitutionalized poverty or those living paycheck to paycheck, a luxury goodcan go a long way in increasing self-esteem or providing a sense of belonging.A sense ofaccomplishment is yet another reason why some people buy luxury goods. Theywant to reward themselves for their hard work by treating themselves tosomething they typically can't afford.institutionalized(adj) 体制化的  poverty (n) 贫穷  livepaycheck to paycheck 日子拮据、月光族  go along way 大有帮助、大有好处 

Self-Esteem and Luxury Goods自尊与奢侈品 No.100

The Irrational ConsumerIt’s well known that people don’t behave rationally, and considering the enormous consumer debt Americans have, consumers clearly don’t always act in their best financial interests.Luxury goods are a great example of how irrational we can be; a decent and sturdy handbag can be purchased for $50, yet people will still spend thousands to buy a brand name.It's always been this way and consumers' desire to own the finer things in life will likely never change.rational (adj) 理性的  enormous (adj) 巨大的  sturdy (adj) 结实的  brand name 品牌、名牌  

The Irrational Consumer不理智的消费者 No.99

Taking on new challenges makes yo better on paperChanging jobs at least once every four years can make your resume more attractive to employers for several reasons. For one, it says, ‘I’m willing to try new things and not get too comfortable.But staying at the same job for a long while can make your resume look stagnant and give employers the impression that you lack drive and don’t enjoy learning new things.Candidates who have not changed jobs in a decade or more run the risk of being considered stuck and afraid of change, and perhaps even‘wedded to the company.'take on 承担、接受   stagnant （adj） 停滞不前的、无发展的   drive （n） 干劲、冲劲run the riskof… 冒着。。。的风险    stuck（adj） 困住   bewedded to… 献身于。。。

Taking on new challenges good for your CV 接受新挑战，简历更好看 No.98

Whystay?In fact, staying for ten years or more on a job can be a positive thing, if you've gained seniority and leadership opportunities and have more say in the company.It might say to potential employers that you're dependable and loyal.A worker who constantly switches jobs or starts new ventures may have difficulty getting jobs in the future, because employers have to invest resources to train a worker, and that investment is lost if the worker leaves the company.seniority (n) 资历、级别高  say (n) 发言权  venture (n) 冒险项目、公司

Why stay?不急于跳槽的原因。No.97

Kids Aren't So Great For Your RelationshipMany couples think that having kids will bring them closer, enhance their relationship and make it stronger, because they now get to bond over a little person that they created.But the facts don't exactly back this line of thinking up. As Dr. Ellen Walker explained in Psychology Today, “Marital satisfaction rates actually plummet after the birth of the first child."Accordingto a study, 70 percent of couples experience a“significant slump” in the quality of their relationship within the first three years of the birth of their first child.This can be due to sleeplessness, unrealistic expectations, and the fact that clashing ideas about how to raise a child can sometimes drive a couple apart.enhance(v) 提高、增进  over (prep) 由于  back…up 支持   marital (adj) 婚姻的   plummet(v) 暴跌  slump (n) 骤降  clashing (adj) 冲突的  apart (adv) 分开

Persuasion(excerpt)
Jane Austen
I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. 
You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. 
I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own, than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago. 
Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. 
You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone, I think and plan. —Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes?
I had not waited even these ten days, could I have read your feelings, as I think you must have penetrated mine. I can hardly write. I am every instant hearing something which overpowers me. 
You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others. —Too good, too excellent creature! 
You do us justice, indeed. You do believe that there is true attachment and constancy among men. Believe it to be most fervent, most undeviating, in F. W.


Persuasion(excerpt) 劝导(节选)

Paper Boats (1913)
Rabindranath Tagore
Day by day I float my paper boats one by one down the running stream.
In big black letters I write my name on them and the name of
the village where I live.
I hope that someone in some strange land will find them and
know who I am.
I load my little boats with shiuli flowers from our garden, and hope that these blooms of the dawn will be carried safely to land in the night.
I launch my paper boats and look up into the sky and see the little clouds setting their white bulging sails.
I know not what playmate of mine in the sky sends them down the air to race with my boats!
When night comes I bury my face in my arms and dream that my paper boats float on and on under the midnight stars.
The fairies of sleep are sailing in them, and the lading is their baskets full of dreams.


Paper Boats 纸船

There is a lady sweet and kind, was never face so pleas'd my mind;
 有一位小姐甜美又温柔，从来没有人像她那样让我着迷；
 I did but see her passing by, and yet I love her till I die.
 我只是看见她经过，便会爱她到永远。
 Her gesture, motion, and her smiles, her wit, her voice, my heart beguiles, beguiles my heart.她的姿态，她的微笑，她的聪慧，她的声音俘获了我的心，俘获了我的心。
 I know not why, and yet I love her till I die.
 我不知道为什么，但是我会爱她到永远。
 Her free behaviour, winning looks, will make a lawyer burn his books;
 她自由的姿态，胜利的面庞，让律师都羞愧到自焚书籍；
 I touch'd her not, alas! Not I, and yet I love her till I die.
 我抚摸她，没有，唉！抚摸她的人不是我，但我会爱她直到永远。
 Had I her fast betwixt minearms, judge you that think such sports were harms, Were't any harm? No, no, fie, fie, for I will love her till I die.
 如果她躺在我的怀里，你觉得会给她带来伤害吗？没有一点儿伤害吗？不，不，呸，呸，因为我会爱她直到永远。
 Should I remain confined there so long as Phoebus in his sphere, I to request, she to deny, yet would I love her till I die.
 我是应该继续和她保持距离吗？我请求，她拒绝，但我还是会爱她到永远。
 Cupid is winged and doth range, her country so my love doth change: but change she earth, or change she sky, yet will I love her till I die.
 丘比特到处飞来飞去。她会变的，我的爱也会变的。但无论她怎么变，我也会爱她到永远。





There is a lady sweet and kind

I ask for a moment's indulgence to sit by thy side. The works that I have in hand I will finish afterwards. Away from the sight of thy face my heart knows no rest nor respite, and my work becomes an endless toil in a shoreless sea of toil. Today the summer has come at my window with its sighs and murmurs; andthe bees are plying their minstrelsy at the court of the flowering grove. Now it is time to sit quite, face to face with thee, and to sing dedication of life in this silent and overflowing leisure. Rabindranath Tagore

A Moments Indulgence 片刻的放纵

Mother, the folk who live up in the clouds call out to me- "We play from the time we wake till the day ends.We play with the golden dawn, we play with the silver moon." I ask, "But how am I to get up to you ?"They answer, "Come to the edge of the earth, lift up your hands to the sky, and you will be taken up into the clouds." "My mother is waiting for me at home, "I say, "How can I leave her and come?"Then they smile and float away.But I know a nicer game than that, mother.I shall be the cloud and you the moon.I shall cover you with both my hands, and our house-top will be the blue sky.The folk who live in the waves call out to me-"We sing from morning till night; on and on we travel and know not where we pass."I ask, "But how am I to join you?"They tell me, "Come to the edge of the shore and stand with your eyes tight shut, and you will be carried out upon the waves."I say, "My mother always wants me at home in the everything-how can I leave her and go?"They smile, dance and pass by.But I know a better game than that.I will be the waves and you will be a strange shore.I shall roll on and on and on, and break upon your lap withlaughter.And no one in the world will know where we both are.妈妈，住在云端上的人儿在呼唤我——“我们从醒来开始玩耍，直到太阳下山。 我们在金色的黎明中，在银色的月光下玩耍。” 我问:“那我要怎样才去能到你们身边呢” 他们回答:“来到大地的尽头，向着天空举起你的双手，你就会被接入云里。” “可是，我的妈妈还在家里等着我，”我说，“我如何能离她而去，只身前来?”然后，他们轻轻一笑，飘走了。 但是，妈妈，我知道一个更好玩的游戏。 我要变成云朵，你是月亮。 我会用双手遮住你，我们的家，蓝色的天空就会变成我们的屋顶。妈，住在浪花中的人儿在呼唤我—— “我们从早到晚歌唱，我们一直在旅行，从不问途径何处。” 我问:“我要怎样才能加入你们呢?” 他们告诉我:“来到海岸的尽头，紧闭双眼站好，海浪就会把你接走。” 我说:“我的妈妈，一直在家里等着我，我如何能离她而去，只身前来?” 他们轻轻一笑，跳着舞离开了。但是，我知道一个更有趣的游戏。 我要变成浪花，而你，是陌生的岸。 我会不停地向你涌来，大笑着撞碎在你的膝盖上。 这世上，就无人知晓我们的所在。

大学英语A级考试听力提示音

1.深呼吸
Have you ever admired those people who do the voice–over on radio and TV? Do you think they have a special voice? Maybe you can do it too, and each person’s voice is special enough, though not everyone’s voice is “deep”. After some training, you can speak just like a professional, here’s how:
Before we kick start, let’s try to relax your body, take it easy, as your voice will not listen to you if you are nervous. We  take a deep breath today! Try taking many deep breath before you read anything, so you will be more confident, and you can speak with your “belly”, instead of your “throat”. Did you just take a deep breath? OK, let’s do it together—breathe in,…and breathe out. Do it again and look at your shoulders, did they move while breathing in? See? that’s the problem, please DO NOT raise your shoulders when taking a deep breath! The key to this warm-up practice is no-moving your shoulders when breathing. So basically your body doesn’t move when you breathe, and it’s better you take at least 5 times of deep breath everyday from now on. After 5 and more deep breath, let’s read the following:
A---I’m afraid you made a mistake.   B---Before you buy the bee, beat Bill.
 C---Cindy says she doesn’t see the sea. D---Diligence is the mother of good luck.
 E----Eat to live, but not live to eat. F—Find the left for Phil.
Did you feel better after reading and deep breathing? if not, don’t worry, I’m sure you will if you follow our training and voice –over tips. Don’t forget to subscribe ,and you are listening to Frank Voice Training, thanks for listening.

介绍： 你是否感觉每天的城市高峰时间让你出门越来越困难？交通拥挤让全世界头疼，神马方法能破？你有神马好的想法，一起来分享下吧。本文难度★★★☆☆ ☞ Words:congestion/jam交通堵塞， leisurely从容地 ，switch to 转变成，gym健身房 ，intersection十字路口， stack up 堆积起， productive momentum有成效的动力 ，percentage 百分比 ¤~~小伙伴们喜欢的话，欢迎点击“订阅”哦~~~~ Rush hour traffic is absolutely the worst. You’re tired before you go to work, tired after a long day, and don’t want to deal with bumper-to-bumper traffic and everyone driving like a nut. It’s enough to give you a horrible headache. While there’s certainly more congestion at these times of day, there are ways to avoid it.This is Frank Mars with Frank Mars Learning English,we are talking about rush hours today. Plan Out Your Morning and Leave Earlier☞ A good tip to avoid some of the traffic is to get an earlier start. Try out different times—leaving five minutes earlier, 15 minutes earlier—to see what might be better. In order to do this without losing any sleep, you need to plan out your morning. This means packing up your briefcase and setting your clothes out the night before. Rather than taking the time to eat a leisurely breakfast, pack it to go. Leaving Work I once had a job where they let me work from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and I never had to deal with rush hour traffic. If your bosses are nice, consider switching to a work schedule that will let you leave earlier and, if that’s not the case, leave a little later. Leaving at 5:00 p.m. is going to guarantee the worst traffic because that’s when everyone leaves. You were going to relax when you got home, so just bring a book to work or pop in a TV show on your computer. Better yet, you could join a gym near work. Even leaving 15 minutes later could help. Change Your Route Some roads are just terrible, no matter what. Check E maps or ask a co-worker for alternate routes. After work, I used to take a major road home. The speed limit was high, but the traffic moved at a crawl, taking about 15 minutes to make a left turn through one intersection. Instead, I found an alternative route: the speed limit was much lower, but it had so little traffic that it ended up taking much less time, and was less stressful.If you do get stuck on a highway and there doesn’t seem to be much in the way of back road alternatives, consider changing where you get on the highway. The most congested parts tend to be at toll ways, so consider entering after one. Proper planning is key.Planning out your day (and your week and your month) can be a real help. If you take a few minutes early in the day to get a handle on what you need to do you can better manage your time and keep tasks from stacking up.Once you've done your planning, do yourself a favor and set aside some time to clear any small stuff off your plate. The things that tend to pile up at the end of days are usually smaller tasks, and there are usually quite a few of them. Knocking things out early on will help you build a productive momentum for your whole day. It's an unfortunate reality in nearly every major city—road congestion, especially during rush hours. Jonas Eliasson tells how slightly pushing just a small percentage of drivers to stay off major roads can make traffic jams a thing of the past.~~~Jonas’ voice~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The early bird gets the worm.The best way to avoid "rush hour" is to be sure you've finished everything early. Make sure you're getting an early start on all your tasks. I'm a huge fan of the quick start; it really does work.You don't even have to make significant progress on your tasks. Sometimes even the smallest effort at the beginning can make a ton of difference in the long run. Just remember, every little bit you can get done early is a bit you won't have to deal with during your "rush hour".Question today:How often are you stuck in a heavy traffic?

frank低音06-糟糕的交通

介绍： ♋ 你哪来的不自信？要自信才能成功，相信自己！今天我们聊聊怎么建立自信，忘记紧张和自卑，释放你心中那颗神奇的小宇宙吧！本文难度★★★☆☆ ☞Words:achievement 成就；optimism 乐观；criticism 批评；personal appearance个人仪表，static measure 静态参数;compliment恭维√ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Confidence is not something that can be learned like a set of rules; confidence is a state of mind. Positive thinking, practice, training, knowledge and talking to other people are all useful ways to help improve or boost your confidence levels.This is Frank Mars with Frank Mars Learning English,we are talking about building confidence today. Confidence comes from feelings of well-being, acceptance of your body and mind (self-esteem) and belief in your own ability, skills and experience. Low-confidence can be a result of many factors including: fear of the unknown, criticism, being unhappy with personal appearance (self-esteem), feeling unprepared, poor time-management, lack of knowledge and previous failures. Confidence is not a static measure, our confidence to perform roles and tasks can increase and decrease; some days we may feel more confident than others.People often feel less confident about new or potentially difficult situations. Perhaps the most important factor in developing confidence is planning and preparing for the unknown.If you are applying for a new job for example, you would be wise to prepare for the interview. Plan what you would want to say in the interview and think about some of the questions that you may be asked.  Practise your answers with friends or colleagues and gain their feedback. Helen Keller - Author, political activist, and lecturer. The first deaf and blind person to earn a BA degree in the US,said: “Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence”.The basic rules of positive thinking are to highlight your strengths and successes and learn from your weaknesses and mistakes. This is a lot easier than it sounds, we often dwell on things that we are not happy with from our past - making them into bigger issues than they need to be. These negative thoughts can be very damaging to confidence and your ability to achieve goals.~Jessica Harlow tells about How To Boost Your Confidence~~~~~(Jessica’s voice)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Speaking to and being around people who are confident will usually help you to feel more confident. Learn from others who are successful in fulfilling the tasks and goals that you wish to achieve - let their confidence rub off on you. As you become more confident then offer help and advice, become a role-model for somebody less confident. Experience:As we successfully complete tasks and goals, our confidence that we can complete the same and similar tasks again increases. Be Assertive: Being assertive means standing up for what you believe in and sticking to your principles. Avoid Arrogance:Arrogance is harmful for interpersonal relationships. As your confidence grows and you become successful, avoid feeling or acting superior to others. Remember - nobody is perfect, there is always more that you can learn. Celebrate your strengths and successes and recognize your weaknesses and failures. Give others credit for their work - use compliments and praise sincerely. Admit to your mistakes and be prepared to laugh at yourself! Question today:How do you make yourself more confident?
