Things certainly get (38) in a hurry when you get into them, but I wonder if something couldn’t be done to deal with some of these problems. One thing I’m concerned about is our practice of putting (39) in jail who haven’t harmed anyone. Why not work out some system (40) they can pay back the debts they owe society instead of (41) another debt by going to prison and, of course, coming under the (42) of hardened criminals. I’m also concerned about the short prison sentences people are (43) for serious crimes. Of course one alternative to this is to (44) capital punishment, but I’m not sure I would be for that.

When Andrew Chadwick-Jones, a management consultant with Oliver Wyman in London, went to a private-equity(私募股权) firm late last year, he expected the usual: about 20 minutes and an unfriendly attitude. He was surprised to find the private-equity people instead explaining their strategy, offering introductions to senior staff and being more open and friendly. "Now that money and deals are lack, they’ve got to be nicer to all the people they interact with, and they might help bring business in future," he says.Rudeness is out, and politeness is the new rule in an uncertain world. The former kings of rude behavior -- Masters of the Universe bankers, private-equity chiefs -- have been humbled. On Wall Street, says a hanker, "it’s now all about charm and openness and taking time with people." Proud young things straight out of the best business schools have stopped letting interview appointments pass, and there is much less looking over people’s shoulders at drinks parties, reports one veteran (经验丰富的人). Many people, fearful for their jobs, are trying to smooth their contacts at other firms.The change in tone also reflects changes in the balance of power between companies. Before the crisis, says Michel Péreité, head of investment banking at Soeeit6 G6n6rale in Paris, he would go and see a senior chief executive with a mergers-and-acquisitions (并购)idea, get in for a short while and, on the way out, walk past a line of all his competitors. Now, he says, "You’re lead in, you get an hour with the CEO and he walks you to your car. "As the representative of a bank with money to lend, Mr. P6reti6 is now the chief executive’s potential savior. "During this crisis, when there is so much uncertainty about who will end up having power, the best strategy is to be polite to everyone," says Adam Galinsky of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.People have more time to be friendly when business is slow. Some reckon the new sincerity reflects a feeling that everyone is in the same boat: when some firms have to fire good performers as well as bad, no one is safe. But if people at different firms are being nicer to each other, things may not be getting any nicer inside companies. At many, stress and in-fighting are on the rise because of the threat of job cuts. And as soon as things turn up again, all agree, the extra niceness will disappear. The author gives the example of Michel Pereties experience for the reason that ()
A. he is now the potential savior of the chief executive
B. he is from the famous bank of Paris-Societe Generale
C. his experience shows he is the one with power now
D. his experience shows changes in the balance of power now
How to Get Lucky and Live a Charmed LifeFor centuries, people have recognized the power of luck and have done whatever they could to try seizing it. Take knocking on wood, thought to date back to pagan rituals aimed at eliciting help from powerful tree gods. We still do it today, though few, if any, of us worship tree gods. So why do we pass this and other superstitions down from generation to generation The answer lies in the power of hick.Live a Charmed lifeTo investigate scientifically why some people are consistently lucky and others aren’t, I advertised in national periodicals for volunteers of both varieties. Four hundred men and woman from all walks of life--ages 18 to 84—responded.Over a ten-year period, I interviewed these volunteers, asked them to complete diaries, personality questionnaires and IQ tests, and invited them to my laboratory for experiments. Lucky people, I found, get that way via some basic principles-- seizing chance opportunities; creating self-fulfilling prophecies through positive expectations; and adopting a resilient attitude that turns had luck around.Open Your MindConsider chance opportunities: Lucky people regularly have them; unlucky people don’t. To determine why, I gave lucky and unlucky people a newspaper, and asked them to tell me how many photos were inside. On average, unlucky people spent about two minutes un this exercise; lucky people spent seconds. Why Because on the paper’s second page--in big type--was the message "Stop counting: There are 43 photographs in this newspaper." Lucky people tended to spot the message. Unlucky ones didn’t. I put a second one halfway through the paper: "Stop counting, tell the experimenter you have seen this and win$250." Again, the unlucky people missed it.The lesson: Unlucky people miss chance opportunities because they’re too busy looking for something else. Lucky people see what is there rather than just what they’re looking for.This is only part of the story. Many of my lanky participants tried hard to add variety to their lives. Before making important decisions, one altered his route to work. Another described a way of meeting people. He noticed that at parties he usually talked to the same type of person. To change this, he thought of a color and then spoke only to guests wearing that color--women in red, say, or men in black.Does this technique work Well, imagine living in the canter of an apple orchard. Each day you must collect a basket of apples. At first, it won’t matter where you look. The entire orchard will have apples. Gradually, it becomes harder to find apples in places you’ve visited before. If you go to new parts of the orchard each time, the odds of finding apples will increase dramatically. It is exactly the same with luck.Relish the UpsideAnother important principle revolved around the way in which lucky and unlucky people deal with misfortune. Imagine representing your country in the Olympics. You compete, do well, and win a bronze medal. Now imagine a second Olympics. This time you do even better and win a silver medal. How happy do you think you’d feel Most of us think we’d be happier after winning the silver medal.But research suggests athletes who win bronze medals are actually happier. This is because silver medalists think that if they’d performed slightly better, they might have won a gold medal. In contrast, bronze medalists focus on how if they’d performed slightly worse, they wouldn’t have won anything. Psychologists call this ability to imagine what might have happened, rather than what actually happened, "counter-factual" thinking.To find out if lucky people use counter-factual thinking to ease the impact of misfortune, I asked my subjects to imagine being in a bank. Suddenly, an armed robber enters and fires a shot that hits them in the arms. Unlucky people tended to say this would be their bad luck to be in the bank during the robbery. Lucky people said it could have been worse: "You could have been shot in the head." This kind of thinking makes people feel better about themselves, keeps expectations high, and increases the likelihood of continuing to live a lucky life.Learn to Be LuckyFinally, I created a series of experiments examining whether thought and behavior can enhance good fortune.First come one-on-one meetings, during which participants completed questionnaires that measured their luck and their satisfaction with six key areas of their lives. I then outlined the main principles of luck, and described techniques designed to help participants react like lucky people. For instance, they were taught how to be more open to opportunities around them, how to break routines, and how to deal with bad luck by imagining things being worse. They were asked to carry out specific exercises for a month and then report back to me.The results were dramatic: 80 percent were happier and more satisfied with their lives--and luckier. One unlucky subject said that after adjusting her attitude--expecting good fortune, not dwelling on the negative--her bad luck had vanished. One day, she went shopping and found a dress she liked. But she didn’t buy it, and when she returned to the store in a week, it was gone. Instead of slinking away disappointed, she looked around and found a better dress--for less. Events like this made her a much happier person.Her experience shows how thoughts and behavior affect the good and bad fortune we encounter. It proves that the most elusive of holy grails--an effective way of taking advantage of the power of luck--is available to us all. The story of apple orchard suggests that ()
A. you should find a orchard with enough apples
B. the more you change, the more chances you will get
C. you can pick more apples because of your luck
D. you should try harder to find apples in the places you’ve visited before
