Day 4
第一篇阅读时间: 8分钟,总结6分钟
Core: An outlook of the future of the post-covid tourism industry.
Excerpt:
Greenhouse-gas emissions by commercial jets plunged in 2020, intensifying debate about how to curtail this pollution permanently.
Today’s travel industry may have taken a battering—but the new one that emerges could be better than ever.
Travel was slow, difficult and expensive when it relied on wind or horsepower.
And if not every mind is broadened, surely few suffer the opposite effect.
As Mark Twain put it, “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness.”
Words:
galleon: 大帆船
gunwale:甲板边缘;舷边
wherewithal: 必要的资金
as far afield as: 远离
shortfall:不足之数;缺口;差额
battering:连续的猛击
第二篇: 阅读时间5分钟,总结8分钟
Core:
Focus on networking may result in the performance-related problems of American companies.
Excerpt:
Accordingly, it comes as no surprise that networking, which consists of socializing or politicking and interacting with others, was one activity that, out of the core four activities among the plethora of activities performed by managers, topped the list for successful managers but was ranked the lowest in the list of activities performed by the effective ones.
Indeed the findings of the study do not negate the reality that there are managers who strike a balance between the activities performed by both types of managers and hence are successful and effective at the same time.
These finding clearly belie the traditional assumption typically suggested by formal personnel policies that promotions are based purely on performances.
words:
plethora: 过多,过剩
negate :使无效,取消
meagre: 很少的,不足的
belie: 给人以假象;掩饰(感情等)
cynical :愤世嫉俗的;怀疑人之真诚的;认为人皆自私的
politicking: 拉选票
