differences between American youth and French youth.Now I will talk about the differences between them.The first difference is in appearance.Going around in the U.S.,I found that American youth do not really care about their appearance.In the morning,they choose something in their closet and wear it with another thing.,often of different colors and styles,without wondering whether their choices make them look strange.The reason behind this is that they don t care what people look like,but are just interested in their ideas.I think it s great,but it also causes problems.Since they don t care about their appearance,they don t really care about their weight.Often they get fat without realizing it.I observed that there are differences in relationships too.When the American youth fall in love,they don t really think of the future.Also,there are differences in the rules concerning behavior that is allowed.In some respects,the French are more accepting.For example,in America it is generally unacceptable to make physical display of love.Lovers,in theory,can t kiss or hold each other everywhere they want.People think that not showing love in public places is a way to respect others.On the contrary,the French youth can do almost everything they want,and they are usually more concerned about the future of the relationship than the American youth.With regard to other types of relationships,there are also big differences.Americans act differently from French people in front of unknown people.When an American girl,for example,arrives in front of people she has never met before,she will talk with them,trying to create a kind of bond between her and this new circle of people.The French girls will just think about rather than really do this kind of thing because they are too shy and lacking in self-confidence.To finish,I noticed that in American classes,when pupils want to say or ask something,they just do it.In general,they don t really care how the others will judge them.In France,it s not the same case.If somebody wants to ask something,he/she will think about it before speaking up.I appreciate the freedom in Americans behavior,ideas,and ways of expressing themselves.1.In this article,the author talks about_ between American youth and French youth.A)the friendship B)the differences and similarities C)the similarities D)the differences 2.American young people _.A)are more concerned about appearance B)show more interest in people s ideas C)are just interested in people s clothes D)care more about their weight 3.American youth often_.A)wonder why they look strange B)care what people look like C)neglect their weight D)cause problems with their ideas 4.When American youth fall in love with each other,they_.A)will kiss wherever they like B)will always think about their future C)will not hold each other D)will rarely display their love in public 5 If French pupils want to ask questions in class,they will_.A)ask for the teacher s permission first B)speak up before the teacher permits C)try to control themselves not to do so D)think about it before they do so Keys:DBCDD Passage 2 Building Your Business,Building Your People What an exciting thing to do-developing a successful business!I have been part of the building.And developing of four active,successful businesses.We are in a great stage of growth and development right now at my company,Progress Productions,and i am reminded every day of some of the most important ideas for progress.Here are five ideas to keep in mind that can make a significant difference in a team:Understand Your People If I want my team to go and grow with me,I need to find out what excites them.What are their personal drives and what keeps them form being at their best?What do they need in their work environment to improve their mental well-being?What are their fears and concerns,and how can I help them manage these fears and concerns?What are their values and goals,and how can I ensure they are in agreement with mine?It is important to remember that all your careful planning,you goals,and your purposes will be useless if you need other people to help you make them happen and those people do not have the same level of commitment to them as you.Help People Build Self-confidence This is a major discovery for me,During my early years in management.I realized the great power of expectations on performance.As I found,people largely lived up to my expectation of them.SO i learned that if u want to build my business through my people,I have to build their own belief in their capacity to achieve,This belief must be educated.Not to the point of any false belief about current performance,but with a real conviction about potential If I want to lift their achievement,i must help them lift their trust in themselves first.Give People Floors,Walls,but No Ceilings While we are growing,we usually want a level of security beneath us,a floor or a foundation.Keep your people informed of your plans and your activities,so that they know where they stand.Allow them freedom of operation within defined and measurable frameworks,and let them know the sky is the limit for achievemen
