The Science of Persuasion

If leadership consists of getting things done through others, then persuasion is one of the leader's essential tools. Many executives have assumed that this tool is beyond their grasp, available only to the charismatic (有魅力的) and the eloquent. Over the past several decades, though, experimental psychologists have learned which methods reliably lead people to concede, comply, or change. Their research shows that persuasion is governed by several principles that can be taught and applied.

The first principle is that people are more likely to follow someone who is similar to them than someone who is not. Wise managers, then, ask peers to help make their cases. Second, people are more willing to cooperate with those who are not only like them but who like them, as well. So it's worth the time to uncover real similarities and offer genuine praise.

Third, experiments confirm the intuitive truth that people tend to treat you the way you treat them.It's sound policy to do a favor before seeking one.Fourth,individuals are more likely to keep promises they make voluntarily and clearly.The message for managers here is to get commitments in writing.Fifth。studies show that people really do defer to(服从)experts:So before they attempt to exert influence,executives should take pains to establish their own expertise and not assume that it's self-evident.Finally,people want more of a commodity when it's scarce;it follows,then,that exclusive information is more persuasive than widely available data.

They Say Ireland’s the Best

Ireland is the best place in the world to live in for 2005, according to a life quality ranking that appeared in Britain’s Economist magazine 1ast week.

The ambitious attempt to compare happiness levels around the world is based on the principle that wealth is not the only measure of human satisfaction and well-being.

The index of 111 countries uses data on incomes,health,unemployment,climate,political stability, job security, gender equality as well as what the magazine calls“freedom,family and community life”.

Despite the bad weather, troubled health service,traffic congestion(拥挤),gender inequality, and the high cost of living.Ireland scored an impressive 8.33 points out of 10.

That put it well ahead of second-place Switzerland,which managed 8.07.Zimbabwe, troubled by political insecurity and hunger,is rated the gloomiest(最差的),picking up only 3. 89points.

“Although rising incomes and increased individual choices are highly valued,”the report said,“some of the factors associated with modernization such as the breakdown(崩溃)in traditional institutions and family values in part take away from a positive impact.”

“Ireland wins because it successfully combines the most desirable elements of the new with the preservation of certain warm elements of the old,such as stable family and community 1ife.”

The magazine admitted measuring quality of life is not a straightforward thing to do, and that its findings would have their critics.

No.2 on the list is Switzerland.The other nations in the top 10 are Norway,Luxembourg,

Sweden,Australia,Iceland,Italy,Denmark and Spain.

The UK is positioned at No.29,a much lower position chiefly because of the social and family breakdown recorded in official statistics.The US, which has the second highest per capita GDP(人均国内生产总值)after Luxembourg,took the 13th place in the survey.China was in the lower half of the league at 60th.

16 For 2,005 years,Ireland has been the best place for humans to live in.

Going Back to Its Birthplace

No sporting event takes hold of the world’S attention and imagination like the Olympic

Games The football world Cup fascinates fans in Europe and South America;baseball’s World

Series is required viewing in North America;and the world table Tennis Championships attracts

the most interest in Asia.

But the Olympics belong to the whole world.Now,after travelling to 17 countries over 108

years,the summer Games are returning to Athens,the place where the first modern Olympics

was held.

Participation in the Games is looked on not only as an achievement,but also as an honour,

The 16 days between August 13 and 29 will see a record 202 countries compete,up from

Sydney’s 199. Afghanistan is back,having been banned from Sydney because the Taliban

government didn’t let women do sports.There is also a place for newcomers East Timer and

Kiribati

A total of 10.500 athletes will compete in 28 sports,watched by 5 3 million ticket—paying

viewers as well as a television audience of 4 billion.

Athens is to use its rich history and culture to make the Olympics as special as possible.The

Games will open with cycling events which start in front of the Parthenon and Acropolis

monuments.The final event will be a historic men’s marathon following the 0rjgihal route l"un by

Phidippides in 490 BC to bring news of victory over the Persians.

The ancient stadium at Olympia.first used for the Games nearly three centuries ago,will

stage the shot put competitions.And the Panathenian Stadium,where the first modern Olympics

was held,is to host the archery (射箭)events.

If the well—known ancient sites deliver a great sense of history to the Games.the 39 new

venues add a modem touch to the city of Athens The main Olympic stadium.with a giant glass

and steel roof,is the landmark(标志)building of the Olympics.

“We believe that we will organize a‘magical’Games.”said Athens 2004 President Gianna

Angelopoulos—Daskalaki.“Our history with the Olympic Gaines goes back nearly 3,000 years,

and Athens 2004 could be the best ever.”

Winners and Losers

Why are the biggest winners in the past decade of trade globalization mostly in South and East Asia, whereas the biggest losers are mostly in the former Soviet bloc (集团) and sub-Saharan Africa? History is a partial guide: East Asia has a long trading tradition, lately reinvigorated (给以新的活力) by the Chinese adoption of market economics. The Soviet Union, on the other hand, was sheltered from free-market forces for more than 70 years. In Africa, some countries are disadvantaged because of inadequate infrastructure (基础结构); Many countries have little to trade but commodities, the prices of which have fallen in recent years.

In some regions, certain countries have suffered by adopting misguided policies, often under pressure from International Monetary Fund. First among these is Russia,

which in the early 1990s tried to embrace capitalism before first building the institutions that make capitalism work, such as an independent bank system, a system of business law, and an adequate method for collecting taxes. Encouraged by the IMF, the World Bank and the U.S. Department of the Treasury, President Boris Yeltsin's regime privatized the state-owned industrial sector, creating a class of oligarchs (寡头政治集团成员), who, knowing how unstable conditions were at home, sent their money abroad instead of investing it at home.

In contrast, China, the biggest winner from globalization, did not follow the IMF formula. Of the former states of the Soviet bloc, only a few, notably Poland and Hungary, managed to grow, which they did by ignoring IMF advice and adopting expansionary plans, including spending more than they collected in taxes. Botswana and Uganda are also success stories: despite their disadvantages, their countries achieved vigorous growth by creating stable civil societies, liberalizing trade and implementing reforms that ran counter to IMF prescriptions.

Coming soon to a Theater near You!

What are special effects? Do you enjoy movies that use a lot of special effects? Dinosaurs(恐龙)¨from the distant past! Space battles from the distant future! There has been a revolution in special effects,and it has transformed the movies we see.The revolution began in the mid-1970s with George Lucas’s Star Wars,a film that stunned(使震惊)audiences。That revolution continues to the present,with dramatic changes in special-effects technology.The company behind these changes is Lucas’s Industrial Light & Magic (ILM). And the man behind the company is Dennis Muren, who has worked with Lucas since Star Wars.

Muren's interest in special effects began very early. At the age of 6, he was photographing toy dinosaurs and spaceships. At 10, he had an 8, millimeter movie camera and was making these things move through stop-motion. (Stop, motion is a process in which objects are shot with a camera, moved slightly, shot again, and so on. When the shots are put together, the objects appear to move.)

Talk to Muren and you'll understand what ILM is all about: taking on new challenges. By 1989, Muren decided he had pushed the old technology as far as it would go.

He saw computer graphics (图像) (CG) technology as the wave of the future and took a year off to master it.

With CG technology, images can be scanned into a computer for processing, for example, and many separate shots can be combined into a single image. CG technology has now reached the point, Muren says, where special effects can be used to do just about anything so that movies can tell stories better than ever before. The huge success of Jurassic Park and its sequel (续集), The Lost World, the stars of which ware~ computer-generated dinosaurs, suggests that this may very well be true.

Survey Finds Many Women Misinformed about Cancer

Sixty-three percent of American women think that if there’s no family history of cancer. You're not likely to develop the disease, a new survey found.

1n fact,most people who develop cancer have no family history of cancer。according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists(ACOG)(美国妇产科医师学会),which sponsored the survey.

"Too many women are dying from cancer。”Dr. Douglas W. Laube, ACOG's immediate

past president,Said during a Friday teleconference. "An estimated 200070 women will die in the U. S. this year,and over 600. 078 women will be diagnosed with cancer. The results of this survey found a worrisome(令人担忧的)gap in women's knowledge about cancer."

Based on the findings ACOG is increasing its efforts to educate women about cancer and the need for regular screening tests.

Although the survey found many misconceptions(错误观念)about cancer, 76 percent of women surveyed did say they feel knowledgeable about how they can reduce their risk of the disease.

However, only 52 percent said they were doing enough to reduce that risk. And 10 percent said they hadn’t done anything in the past year to lower their risk. Seventeen percent said they wouldn’t change their lifestyles even if changes would lower their cancer risk..

Many women said they were afraid to undergo screening out of fear of finding cancer. Twenty percent said they didn't want to know if they had cancer.

In response to these findings ACOG will launch on Oct. 2g a new website-Protect& Detect What Women should know about cancer. The guide is designed to help women to take charge of their health and improve their understanding of their risk of cancer-and the lifestyle. steps they can take to cut that risk.

16 Many American women have a poor knowledge of cancer.

Fairy Tales for All the World

This year, the world is marking the 200th anniversary of Danish author Hans Christian Andersen with a wide range of events.

Andersen's tales have attracted millions of readers for more than a century. They continue to be among the best-known works of world literature. "The Ugly Duckling (小鸭)" and "The Little Mermaid (美人鱼)" are among the most famous.

He was born on April 2, 1805, in the slums of Odense, Denmark. His father was a shoemaker and his mother worked as a washer-woman. Andersen received very little education, but his fascination with fairy tales inspired him to compose his own stories and arrange puppet (木偶) shows.

His father died when he was 11. He was forced to go to work, first as an apprentice to a weaver and tailor and then in a tobacco factory. At the age of 14, he moved to Copenhagen to try a career as a singer, dancer and actor. He sang in a boy's choir (合唱团), but he made very little money. He also tried the ballet, but his awkwardness made this impossible.

Finally, when he was 17, Jonas Collin, a director of the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen discovered Andersen. After hearing Andersen read a play, Collin realized that he had talent. And he got money from the king for Andersen's education.

In 1828, Andersen passed the entrance examinations to the university in Copenhagen. His writings were first published in 1829. In 1833,he received grant money for travel, which he used to visit Germany,France,Switzerland,and Italy. These journeys were recorded in his travelogues (旅行见闻)。In 1835,Andersen published "Fairy Tales for Children," which contained four short stories. He eventually wrote around 168 fairy tales. They achieved success in his life-time and were widely published and translated.

Unhappiness also found its way into many of his tales which were not meant merely for children but for adults as well. He used very simple language and style. to disguise the moral teachings of his tales.

Andersen also wrote novels, plays and poems. He died at his home in Rolighed on August 4, 1875.

Fighting for a Brighter Future for Women

When I was asked what it means to be a woman running for president, I always gave the same answer that I was proud to be running as a woman, but I was running because I thought I'd be the best president.

But I am a woman and, like millions of women, I know there are still barriers and biases (偏见) out there, often unconscious, and I want to build an America that respects and embraces the potential of every last one of us.

I ran as a daughter who benefited from opportunities my mother never dreamed of. I ran as a mother who worried about my daughter's future and a mother who wants to leave all children brighter tomorrows.

To build that future I see, we must make sure that women and men alike understand the struggles of their grandmothers and their mothers, and that women enjoy equal opportunities, equal pay, and equal respect.

Let us resolve and work toward achieving very simple propositions (命题) There are no acceptable limits, and there are no acceptable prejudices in the 21st century in our country

You can also be so proud that, from now on, it will be unremarkable for a woman to win primary state victories, unremarkable to have a woman in a close race to be our nominee (被提名者), unremarkable to think that a woman can be the president of the United States. And this is truly remarkable, my friends.

To those who are disappointed that we couldn't go all of the way, especially the young people who put so much into this campaign, it would break my heart if, in falling short of my goal, I in any way discouraged any of you from pursuing yours.

Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. And, when you stumble (犯错), keep faith. And, when you're knocked down, get right back up and never listen to anyone who says you can't or shouldn't go on.

As we gather here today in this historic, magnificent building, the 50th woman to leave the Earth is orbiting (绕轨道运行) overhead. If we can blast 50 women into space, we will someday launch a woman into the White House.
