Five of the Most Important toAchieve Business Success

　　 1 At the Gallup Organization we recently focused in depth on business success, probing

the attitudes and traits of 1,500 prominent people selected at random from Who’s Who in

America. The main criterion for inclusion in Who’s Who is not wealth or social position, but

current achievement in a given field. Our research pinpoints a number of traits that recur

regularly among top achievers. Here are five of the most important:

　　 2 Common sense. This is the most prevalent quality possessed by our respondents. To

most, common sense means the ability to render sound and practical judgments on everyday

affairs. To do this, one has to sweep aside extraneous ideas and get right to the core of what

matters. A Texas oil and gas magnate puts it this way: “The key ability for success is

simplifying. In conducting meetings and dealing with industry regulators, reducing a

complex

problem to the simplest terms is highly important.”


Text A

Back

　　 3 Common sense, in his opinion, can definitely be developed. He attributes his to learning

how to debate in school. Another way to increase your store of common sense is to observe it

in others, learning from their and your own mistakes.

　　 4 Knowing one’s field. After common sense, specialized knowledge in one’s field is the

second most common trait possessed by the respondents.

　　 5 Geologist Philip Oxley, chairman of Tenneco Europe, attributes his success to having

worked in the oil fields, by “sitting on wells and bird-dogging seismic crews”, he learned the

tricks of the trade first hand. “People, who are going to be good managers need to have a

practical understanding of the crafts in their business,” he says. Today his expertise earns him a

six-figure salary.


Text A

Back

　　 6 Self-reliance. Top achievers are primarily dependent on their own resources and

abilities. Self-reliance is not how you feel or how good you are; rather, it’s whether you have

the gumption to take definitive action to get things moving. It includes plain old willpower

and

the ability to get goals.

　　 7 Two-thirds of the respondents say they’ve had clear goals for their lives and careers.

Among other capabilities, willpower encompasses the ability to be a self-starter and to

persevere after a project has begun.

　　 8 General intelligence. This is essential for outstanding achievement because it involves

your natural ability to comprehend difficult concepts quickly and to analyze them clearly and

incisively. At least that’s the way our respondents see it—43 percent say it is a very important

ingredient of their success, and another 52 percent say it is fairly important.


Text A

Back

　　 9 Ability to get things done. Nearly three-fourths of our high achievers rank themselves

“very efficient” in accomplishing tasks. And they agree that at least three important qualities

have helped them to do so: organizational ability, good work habits and diligence.

　　 10 A physics professor summarizes his success formula this way, “Sheer hard, tenacious

work, with the ability to pace oneself.” He admits working up to 100 hours a week.

　　 11 Besides the five listed here, there are other factors that influence success: leadership,

creativity, relationships with others, and, of course, luck. If you cultivate these traits, chances

are you’ll succeed. And you might even find yourself listed in Who’s Who someday.

Indifference

　　 1 I’d dashed in about a half-hour before closing time. This little toy store, whose

shelves overflow with cute wooden toys in primary colors, funny stuffed monkeys and bright

plastic puzzles. A friendly, crowded little place devoid of electronic pinging, the kind of

place where

you can reassure yourself you’re in the company of rational, progressive Europeans.

　　 2 I browsed my way to the back of the store, where I weighed the relative merits of the

big plastic dinosaur versus the cinnamon bear hand puppet.

　　 3 A teenage clerk sat behind the little counter, chewing gum as she read a children’s

book. Ballerina dolls and airplanes dangled overhead; toy jewelry and miniature books lined

the countertop. The young clerk could have been part of the toy display.

　　 4 The doorbell buzzed.

　　 5 The clerk didn’t move.

　　 6 The bell sounded again. Two, three, four times in a row.

　　 7 I checked out the clerk. She only had to lean forward slightly to buzz the door open,

but instead just sat there, rigidly hunched over the storybook, chewing assiduously.


Text B

Back

　　 8 “That book can’t be that engrossing,” I thought. “I wonder if she’s hard of hearing.”

　　 9 The buzzing stopped, replaced by a polite tapping on the door glass. “Hello?” a male

voice sounded. “Can you open the door, please?”

　　 10 On the sidewalk outside the door stood a handsome, impeccably-groomed man in his

late thirties, toting one of those rich-looking brown leather briefcases you see in the specialty

stores, and wearing a trenchcoat that probably cost more than I make in a month.

　　 11 “Hey... can you let me in?” he repeated.

　　 12 Despite this guy’s obviously stratospheric income bracket, I guessed that we did

have one dilemma in common—an impending special occasion and no enthusiasm for noisy,

battery-powered conventional toys. As the only customer in the store, I felt obliged to

support my fellow deadline-beater. I looked at the clerk and started to say something, but the

man at

the door beat me to it.

　　 13 “Aw, come on!” he complained, “You’re not letting me in because I’m black!”

　　 14 The girl hunched even harder over her book; I think she would have jumped in and

closed it around herself if she could have.

　　 15 I glared at the teenage clerk. She looked at me imploringly. “The last two times I let

black guys in here, they robbed me!” she blurted.

　　 16 True? I guessed it was an exaggeration—it’s more likely that two guys robbed her

once. But she was physically shaking, so I did believe that somebody robbed her.

　　 17 I’m a writer. I spend a great deal of my time crossing out my first impulse, re-

working every expression of thought before committing it to the public. It’s a very enjoyable

and reassuring process. But there is one drawback—I don’t get enough practice thinking on

my

feet.

　　 18 I felt terrible for the man outside. But I knew I had no authority whatsoever to tell the

terrified clerk what to do. I couldn’t think of anything to say. I exchanged looks with the man

at the door, and shrugged sympathetically. He could have asked me to let him in, but he

didn’t. I could have gone to the front of the store and opened the door for him, but I didn’t. I

don’t

know why.

　　 19 The man turned in disgust and walked away, taking his billion-buck briefcase with

him. I reluctantly decided not to make my nephew suffer for someone else’s indifference with

a late-arriving birthday present, so I paid for the cinnamon bear. The clerk’s eyes never lifted

above the cash register. I never bought anything in that store again.

SampleCampus Life

　　 The warm sunlight, accompanied by the gentle wind, touches every student on the campus,

making them feel at ease. After a week’s intensive study, the campus assumes a sense of relaxation

and tranquility on a Sunday morning.

　　 The garden alive with green woods and colourful flowers is an attractive place on the campus.

Nearby a statue in the garden stands a girl in a beautiful white dress. She is absorbed in an interesting

book. Not far from her, a boy sits on a bench and is listening attentively to an English program, his

hand holding a radio set, his eyes sparkling with interest. Along the road to the park, several students

are heard reading English. Beside the road, two youths are playing badminton, happy and gay. Groups

of boys and girls can be seen walking down the road towards the campus entrance. Some of them

carrying books with them are going to study in their classrooms; others dressed neatly seem to have

fun outside the campus.

　　 Beyond the park stand high and modern residence buildings. In the dormitory, some students are

talking about the campus news, or discussing some problems in their study, while others are tidying up

their rooms or doing some washing. Through the window, looking up above the sky, it appears

clear and blue. Occasionally, some birds fly over the buildings and head for the trees in the distance.

　　 Students feel so much relaxation and calmness at weekends that they become well attached to

the lovely campus life.

An Eye Witness Account of a Traffic Accident

　　 My name is Wang Wen. I am studying at college. A week ago I saw a traffic accident, which is still vivid in my mind.

　　 It was at about 9:00 on Saturday morning, June 15th, when I was on the way to visit a friend of mine at another university. I was walking leisurely on the sidewalk when suddenly I heard a loud crash of two vehicles just at the T-junction about 10 meters away. Two taxis crashed together. It was a traffic accident.

　　 I went up and found that the two taxis were badly damaged. Both roofs were out of shape. One door of a car was knocked off and lying on the road. One driver was blooding and another was shut in the taxi. Some people were trying to help the driver get out of the damaged car. One man was calling to the traffic policeman station. A lot of cars were jammed on the road.

　　 From the stopping track on the road, it was clear that the two taxis were driving too fast. But it was just one of the reasons. In my opinion, the taxi drivers were eager to take more passengers and make a little more money. On the other hand, both drivers didn’t show concern for one another. Both of them wanted to run in front of another. Surely the accident was inevitable. Therefore, we should ask the drivers keep it in their minds that a little slower, a little safer. Taking care of others’ lives means taking care of your own.
