In Britain, people tend to make jokes about some jobs or professions, or to hold stereotyped views of them. For example, sailors are supposed to have a \"wife\" in every port, university professors are often seen as absent-minded or forgetful. there are a lot of dirty jokes about sales representatives and they are generally regarded as not particularly dependable other jobs may be well-paid or very responsible, but the general public think they are funny or rather boring. For instance, in most other
European countries to be an engineer is to be somebody. Funnily enough, in Britain engineers are thought of as gloomy rather than cheerful as result of people's ignorance of the importance of engineers in society
在英国,人们倾向于使开玩笑某种工作或职业,或持有的观点。例如,水手们应该有一个“妻子”在每一个端口,大学教授往往被视为心不在焉或健忘。有很多肮脏的销售代表,他们通常认为是开玩笑不是特别可靠的其他工作可以高薪或非常负责任,但公众认为他们有趣或而无聊。例如,在大多数其他欧洲国家成为一个工程师是别人。有趣的是,在英国工程师被认为是悲观而不是快乐的人们的愚昧造成的社会工程师的重要性

English is becoming the world's language of the 21st Century and this is no time to discourage U.S. residents or immigrants from learning English. English is now the second most widely spoken language in the world, with only Chinese dialects spoken by more people. English is overwhelmingly,the second language of choice, for non-English-speaking people. English is the official language of the European Central Bank and the working language of the Asian trade group ASEAN.
In multilingual continental Europe, a fierce battle over language popularity appears to be ending with English emerging as the standard)for the 21st century. The Germans have given up trying to persuade more British people to learn their language and,
instead,are now promoting English as the language of the 21st centuryGermany's leading newspaper produces an eight-page English edition and declares that \"English is going to be the lingua franca of the new century.\"
Switzerland has three official languages, German, French, and Italian, plus a fourth language spoken in one canton, Romansh. But Switzerland recently adopted English to be taught as the second language of choice rather than one of its official languages.英语是21世纪成为世界的语言,这是没有时间去阻止美国居民或移民学习英语。英语现在是世界上第二个最广泛使用的语言,只有中国方言更多的人。英语是主要的选择,第二语言非英语的人。英语是欧洲央行的官方语言和工作语言的亚洲贸易组织东盟。
Japanese companies have started to refine their ethics programs and internal control structures. Some 55% of them have established a corporate code of conduct, ethics guidelines, compliance manuals and other such documents, 37% have a department or division dedicated to ethics and compliance issues, and 43% periodically hold ethics-related training programs targeting employees.
A growing number of Japanese businesses have taken steps to reinforce oversight functions, for example by engaging independent outside directors. In 1997, Sony
Corporation took the initiativeof cutting its executive board from 38 to 10 directors while introducing the new post of executive officers. Other companies including Omron and
Kobe Steel followed suit, and by 2000 about 240 businesses had reportedly made similar

Are you feeling really sad, tired, and worried most of the time? Are these feelings lasting more than a few days? If yes, you may have depression. Depression is a seriousmedical illness that involvesthe brain.
You may want to know why you feel \"depressed.” There may be several causes. Depression may happen because of changesin your brain. Depression runs in some families. This means that someone in your family such as a grandparent, parent, aunt, uncle, cousin, sister or brother may have depression. Sometimes painful events or losses such as deaths can lead to depression. Sometimes the cause of depression is not clear.
Don’t wait. Talk to your doctor about how you're feeling Get a medical checkup to rule out any other illnesses that might be causing signs of depression. If you don’t have a doctor, check your local phone book. Go to the government services pages and look for \"health clinics” or \"community health centers.”. Call one near you and ask for help. There are two common types of treatment for depression: medicine and \"talk” therapy. Ask your doctor which type is best for you. Some people need both treatments to feel better.
即便如此,公司的形象描绘由市场和公众道德。例如,在一个调查学生的意见的日本商界,2000年秋季进行,68%的受访者认为“诚实公司不是奖励而不诚实的公司盈利”;63%的人认为,“几乎没有任何信息,哪些公司是诚实的,”;84%的人认为,“处罚与丑闻是太宽大”;62%认为“很多公司认为值得从事非法行为。“如果这是新一代的感知的现实,这意味着日本企业没有动力去解决伦理和内部合规问题。当然,公司的业务性能恶化由于丑闻在处理道德与合规问题方面做出更多努力。但这些努力并不持久如果公司担心他们会降低其竞争力。

越来越多的日本企业已经采取措施加强监督功能,例如通过独立的外部董事。1997年,索尼公司initiativeof削减执行董事会从38到10而引入的新职位的执行官。其他公司包括欧姆龙和神户制钢公司紧随其后,据报道,到2000年约240企业已经做过类似structuralreforms。
日本公司已经开始完善道德程序和内部控制结构。大约55%的人建立了一个企业的行为准
则,道德准则,合规手册等文件,37%有一个部门或部门致力于道德和合规问题,针对员工和43%定期举行ethics-related培训项目。
structuralreforms.
Even so, the image of companies portrayed by the market and the general public remains far from ethical. For example, in a survey of students' views of the Japanese business community, conducted in autumn 2000, 68% of the respondents agreed that \"Honest companies are not rewarded while dishonest companies are making profits\"; 63% believed that \" There is hardly any information as to which companies are honest, \"; 84% believed that \" Penalties against scandals are too lenient\"; and 62% agreed that \"many companies believe it's worth engaging in unlawful practices.\" If this is the new generation's perception of reality, it means that Japanese companies have little
incentive to tackle ethical and compliance issues internally. Certainly, companies whose business performance has deteriorated as a result of scandals have made greater efforts to deal with ethical and compliance issues. But such efforts are not long-lasting if a company fears they will reduce its competitiveness.
你真的难过,感觉累了,大部分时间和担心?这些感情持续超过几天吗?如果是,你可能是患了抑郁症。抑郁症是一种seriousmedical疾病的大脑。
在1950年代,两人使牛仔裤受青少年欢迎:猫王,摇滚之王,和詹姆斯·迪恩,一个著名的电视明星。猫王穿着紧身牛仔裤。大多数父母不喜欢猫王或他的牛仔裤。但是青少年,开始穿得像他爱他。他是一个英雄,许多年轻人。
在1960年代,摇滚乐成为更受欢迎。年轻人有更多的钱。他们的衣服显示他们的独立性。有些人装饰与色彩斑斓的补丁和设计的牛仔裤。
有人说牛仔裤正青春的制服。但他们并不总是如此。牛仔裤的故事开始近200年前。意大利的热那亚人,用来制作的裤子。布在热那亚被称为“jeanos”。裤子被称为“牛仔”。1850年,一个推销员在加州开始销售裤子帆布做的。他的名字叫李维斯。因为他们是如此强烈,“李维斯的裤子”成为流行的金矿,农民和学生。六年后,利未开始用蓝色棉布称为牛仔裤子。不久之后,美国和亚洲的工厂工人开始穿牛仔裤。但年轻人通常不穿。
牛仔裤很受年轻人欢迎世界各地。一些
Jeans are popular with young people all over the world. Some
people say that jeans are the uniform of youth. But they haven’t always been so. The story of jeans started almost 200 years ago. People in Genoa, Italy, used to make pants. The cloth made in Genoa was called \"jeanos”. The pants were called \"jeans”. In 1850, a salesman in California began selling pants made of canvas. His name was Levi Strauss. Because they were so strong, \"Levi’s pants” became popular with gold miners, farmers and students. Six years later, Levi began making his pants with a blue cotton cloth called denim. Soon after, factory workers in the United States and Asia began wearing jeans. But young people usually didn’t wear them.
In the 1950s, two people helped to make jeans popular with teenagers: Elvis Presley, the king of rock and roll, and James Dean, a famous TV star. Elvis wore tight jeans. Most parents didn’t like Elvis or his jeans. But teenagers loved him and started to dress like him. He was a hero to many young people.
During the 1960s, rock and roll became even more popular. Young people had more money. their clothes showed their independence. Some people decorated their jeans with colorful patches and designs.
In the 70s and 80s, jeans became very expensive. Jeans are so popular that Levis sold over 10 billion pairs. Almost anywhere in the world now, young people like to wear jeans!

不要等。跟你的医生谈谈你觉得怎么体检排除其他疾病可能导致抑郁症的迹象。如果你没有一个医生,检查你的当地的电话簿。去政府服务页面和寻找“诊所”或“社区卫生中心。”。调用一个靠近你和寻求帮助。有两种类型的治疗抑郁症:医学和“谈话”治疗。询问你的医生哪种类型最适合你。有些人需要治疗感觉更好。
你可能想知道为什么你感到“沮丧。“可能有几个原因。一方面抑郁可能发生,因为你的大脑。抑郁症在一些家庭。这意味着你的家人如祖父母、父母,阿姨,叔叔,表弟,妹妹或弟弟可能是患了抑郁症。有时痛苦的事件或损失如死亡会导致抑郁。有时抑郁症的原因还不清楚。
在70年代和80年代,牛仔裤变得非常昂贵。牛仔裤是如此受欢迎,李维斯售出100亿双。现在几乎在世界任何地方,年轻人喜欢穿牛仔裤!
