26、Do you tend to misplace things? You look for your phone from time to time or you can’t find the TV remote until ten minutes after a favorite show has begun. It’s common and certainly annoying. But most of the time losing things simply results from absentmindedness.【1】We never really store the information into memory about where we’ve put the object at hand, because we have other concerns occupying our attention.
Luckily, for the most part, people can overcome their tendency to misplace things【2】
When you put something down, say its location.【3】For example, you could say, “I’m setting my mouse to the right of my computer.” And saying that either in your mind or out loud, focuses your attention on where you put it, increasing the chances that you’ll remember its location later.
【4】Assign a color that you love and use key rings and phone cases of that color so that when you’re scanning, you’re always looking for your favorite color. You could also put reflective tape on the TV remote, which will make it easier to be found when it disappears.
Be kind to yourself. It’s certainly understandable if you’re frustrated with your tendency to misplace things. But if you keep beating yourself up about it, you may start to think that you’re losing it that there’s something wrong with you and you may get anxious about that.【5】So, remember to give yourself a break.
A.Make your belongings stand out.
B.And that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
C.That’s a breakdown between attention and memory.
D.Here is some advice from experts about how to overcome it.
E.Give your brain a minute or two so that the location will come automatically.
F.In that case you’re even less likely to focus and keep track of your belongings.
G.Putting into words where you place them helps you be more mindful of where your things are.

28、 At the beginning of the century there was a big farm called Hollywood Ranch. It was near Los Angeles in California. A few years later Hollywood was one of the famous places in the world. From the 1910s to the 1950s Hollywood was the film center of the world. Every family knew the names of its film stars — Charlie Chaplin, Grela Garbo,Bergman and hundreds more.
The reason why people went to Hollywood to make films was the sun. At first people made films in New York on the east coast of the United States. But then they heard about Los Angeles where there are 350 days of sun every year. As they made all the films by sunlight, the west coast was a much better place to work. Also near Hollywood you can find mountains and sea and desert. They did not have to travel far to make any kind of film.
When TV became popular, Hollywood started making films for television. Then in the 1970s they discovered people still went to the cinema to see big expensive films. After twenty years they are still making films in Hollywood and people watch them all over the world.

29、Today’s workplace is unique in history. Never before have we seen people working together who represent such different backgrounds and experiences. This difference of age, race, gender, and work style makes it very difficult to organize and run a company.
As a result, companies are looking for individuals who can manage a wide range of employees effectively. Increasingly, managers are discovering that age differences among workers are a major cause of concern.
This has been an important realization. The management difficulties and challenges have led some experts to study intergenerational differences for an understanding of problems in the workplace. What they have discovered is interesting and may provide ways of improving working conditions in companies that employ individuals from different generations.
The first thing to realize, they say, is that differences of opinion about the importance of work and how to get work done are not a coincidence. That is, it is not an accident that young employees will be different from older employees. In fact, if employers do not pay attention to these differences, it is possible that anger will build up between people and lead to difficulties in the company.
Resentment (仇恨) between members of different generations, if not attended to, can lead to extreme anger and unhappiness and even lasting enmity if people are not careful. That individuals from different generations should come to view each other as if they were from different sides of warring countries should not be surprising.
It is natural for individuals from the same generation to form alliances (联盟), to come together for protection. Different generations represent different experiences in life, and these lead naturally to different opinions about oneself and one’s approaches to work.
If you were raised in a time of plenty, when products were readily available and relatively inexpensive, you would believe that prosperity is natural and expectable. If, on the other hand, you were raised in a time of scarcity, you would always be careful not to waste things for fear you would not have enough. You would make angry people who seem to believe that problems will always solve themselves. Such optimism in the face of difficulties would be a source of unhappiness between you and them. It is difficult, in such circumstances, to achieve a happy, agreeable atmosphere in the workplace.
【1】According to the experts, employers should realize ______ if they want to avoid anger between employees.
A. the different understanding of problems in the workplace
B. the different views on value of work and working methods
C. the different genders of employees in the workplace
D. the different ways of expressing anger in the company
【2】The word “enmity” is closet in meaning to ______.
A. hatred B. sorrows
C. ignorance D. forgiveness
【3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Employees in some companies regard each other as mere enemies.
B. Employees’ attitudes towards life are related to the time when they grow up.
C. Employees who are raised in a time of scarcity tend to be angry with others.
D. Achieving a harmonious atmosphere in the workplace is the main task for employers.
【4】What does the writer mainly talk about in the passage?
A. Employees should be cooperative and friendly with each other.
B. It is difficult for employers to have workers work in a friendly way.
C. The weakness of human nature causes the anger between employees.
D. The generational differences cause the disharmony among employees.
