Much of our learning takes place outside the classroom We learn how to maintain budgets forge friendships develop business relationships and more Imagine extending those skills on a global level We would immediately cease to believe the world only contains the people and things we can see but rather a wide variety of opinions customs beliefs and ethics This is why every collegelevel student must study abroad during their undergraduate years They will learn more in that semester abroad than in any other academic year
According to IES Abroad a company that encourages students to become international leaders students who study abroad are more likely to be accepted into the graduate degree program of their choice In fact 90 of students who studied abroad with IES are admitted to their first or second choice for graduate school

Beyond college students who study abroad will be better equipped to succeed in the workplace Their broadened worldview will help them cooperate with their coworkers better especially in a worldwide organization This increased scope of knowledge allows 25 of students who study abroad to receive higher starting salaries That is clear evidence that their experiences and views are valued by employers
In spite of all these benefits some parents simply will not allow their children to study abroad A portion will argue that it is not safe Others will argue that studying abroad costs too much money However studying abroad will have longlasting positive implications on a student's future as an academic and a professional New windows of opportunity will be open the moment an undergraduate boards a plane

(8)My First Marathon
A month before my first marathon one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks leaving me only two weeks to train Yet 1 was determined to go ahead
I remember back to my 7th year in school In my first P E class the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball I didn't do either well He later informed me that I was not athletic
The idea that I was not athletic stuck with me for years When I started running in my 30s I realized running was a battle against myself not about competition or whether or not I was athletic It was all about the battle against my own body and mind A test of wills
The night before my marathon I dreamt that I couldn't even find the finish line I woke up sweating and nervous but ready to prove something to myself
Shortly after crossing the start line my shoe laces became untied So I stopped to readjust Not the start I wanted
At mile 3 I passed a sign: GO FOR IT RUNNERS
By mile 17 I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly Despite the pain I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again
By mile 21 I was starving
As I approached mile 23 I could see my wife waving a sign She is my biggest fan She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a m or questioned my expenses on running
I was one of the final runners to finish But I finished And I got a medal In fact I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had
参考答案:
8I tried my first marathon despite my injured ankle I was once labeled 6 not athletic but still viewed running as a will test The night before the race I had nightmare During the race I readjusted my shoe lace ran breathlessly felt the ankle pain and starvation and finally finished it I got the same medal as the champion did (60 words)
(9)The Role of Humility at Work
There are many qualities that leaders must develop if they wish to have a meaningful impact in the workplace But among these many important qualities the value of humility seems to be frequently overlooked Part of this is due to common misconceptions about what it means to be humble
Humility tends to be overlooked in the workplace because it is frequently misinterpreted as a weak quality We have been led to believe that people who are humble are easily bulldozed(欺负)by others and aren't willing to stick up for themselves Many define humility as having a low opinion of oneself While this may be one widely accepted view of humility today it is actually a far cry from the true meaning of the word—and the way it should be applied in leadership Humility isn't about being passive and weak It’s about showing respect to others and recognizing truth in all situations including in the workplace
A humble professional sounds like the type of person that most of us would prefer to interact with on a daily basis It is the type of person that can become a truly effective leader Humble leaders must be willing to evaluate criticism to determine if it's valid or not said Christopher Feny founder of Boca Recovery Center The best leaders are willing to admit when they are wrong and view mistakes as learning opportunities so they can turn them into something transformative In all my work developing the leadership skills of managers if I could give them any quality with a magic stick it would be humility
Though humility is often underrated by world at large it's essential if you want to be successful as a leader not just at work but in life Reject your idea to boast or lift yourself above anyone and decide to be at the service of others
参考答案:
Role of Humility at work
