托福阅读背景知识之不要出卖你的灵魂

2015-01-09 19:30:12来源：网络

　　2015年托福考试已经来临，对于每一位参加托福考试的同学来说都是新的开始，那么我们对于托福听说读写都需要采取怎样的复习方法?下面是新东方在线托福小编整理的托福阅读背景知识之不要出卖你的灵魂，供同学们参考!

　　广泛的托福阅读背景知识积累，有助于新托福阅读速度和准确率的提升。托福阅读题材分为自然科学、人文科学、互联网等几大类，如果同学们平时能对这些种类的文章都有所涉猎，托福阅读考试中遇到相关的话题就会有非常熟悉的感觉。下面推荐一篇大家都熟悉的话题毕业季的相关背景资料，希望能帮大家积累更多的托福阅读材料。

　　又到一年毕业季，你准备好踏入社会的大门了吗?你设想过自己将要成为什么样的人吗?当人们向惠普公司前CEO卡莉·费奥瑞娜询问职业生涯的意见时，她常常告诉大家，不要放弃你的内在本性，千万不要出卖你的灵魂，因为没有人能够支付得起。

　　My fellow job seekers: I am honored to be among the first to congratulate you oncompleting your years at North Carolina A&T. But all of you should know: as Mother'sDaygifts go, this one is going to be tough to beat in the years ahead.

　　The purpose of a commencement speaker is to dispense wisdom. But the older I get, themore I realize that the most important wisdom I've learned in life has come from my mother andmy father. Before we go any further, let's hear it one more time for your mothers and motherfigures, fathers and father figures, family, and friends in the audience today.

　　When I first received the invitation to speak here, I was the CEO of an $80 billion Fortune11 company with 145,000 employees in 178 countries around the world. I held that job fornearly six years. It was also a company that hired its fair share of graduates from NorthCarolina A&T. You could always tell who they were. For some reason, they were the onesthat had stickers on their desks that read, "Beat the Eagles."

　　But as you may have heard, I don't have that job anymore. After the news of mydeparture broke, I called the school, and asked: do you still want me to come and be yourcommencement speaker?

　　Chancellor Renick put my fears to rest. He said, "Carly, if anything, you probably have morein common with these students now than you did before." And he's right. After all, I've beenworking on my resume. I've been lining up my references. I bought a new interview suit. Ifthere are any recruiters here, I'll be free around 11.

　　I want to thank you for having me anyway. This is the first public appearance I've madesince I left HP. I wanted very much to be here because this school has always been set apart bysomething that I've believed very deeply; something that takes me back to the earliestmemories I have in life.

　　One day at church, my mother gave me a small coaster with a saying on it. During my entirechildhood, I kept this saying in front of me on a small desk in my room. In fact, I can still showyou that coaster today. It says: "What you are is God's gift to you. What you make of yourselfis your gift to God."

　　Those words have had a huge impact on me to this day. What this school and I believe invery deeply is that when we think about our lives, we shouldn't be limited by other people'sstereotypes or bigotry. Instead, we should be motivated by our own sense of possibility. Weshould be motivated by our own sense of accomplishment. We should be motivated by whatwe believe we can become. Jesse Jackson has taught us; Ronald McNair taught us; theGreensboro Four taught us; that the people who focus on possibilities achieve much more inlife than people who focus on limitations.
