Alfred Adler is a famous psychiatrist(精神科医师). When he was a small boy he got off to a【C1】______start in arithmetic. His teacher got the idea that he had no【C2】______in arithmetic, and told his parents what she【C3】______in order that they would not expect too【C4】______of him. In this way, they too【C5】______the idea "Isnt it too bad that Alfred cant do arithmetic?" He【C6】______their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was【C7】______to try, and was very poor in arithmetic, just【C8】______they expected. One day he became very【C9】______at the teacher and the other students because they laughed when he said he knew how to do a problem which【C10】______of the other students had been able to solve. Adler succeeded in solving the problem, which gave him【C11】______. He rejected the idea that he couldnt do arithmetic, and was【C12】______to show them that he could. His anger and his new found confidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems with a new【C13】______. He now worked with interest, determination and purpose,【C14】______he soon became extraordinarily good at arithmetic. He not only【C15】______that he could do arithmetic, but he learned early in life from his own【C16】______that, if a person goes at a job with determination and purpose, he may【C17】______himself as well as others by his ability. This experience made him【C18】______that many people have more ability than they think they have, and that lack of success is as,【C19】______the result of lack of knowledge of how to【C20】______ones ability, lack of confidence and lack of determination as it is the result of lack of ability.

A: Hello, Mr.Kubat.I am glad to meet you here at the fair.
B: Likewise.Take a seat, please.How about a cup of tea?
A: Sure.Thank you.It seems your business is prosperous.There are many customers here.
B: Yes, it's not too bad.Our sales are going up year after year.And we still have a large potential production capacity.
A: Well, what do you think of choosing a commission representative or agent abroad to promote your sales?
B: That's a good idea.So far, we have several agents abroad.
A: We are willing to be your agent in Thailand for hand-held tools.What do you think?
B: That sounds good.
A : Then , what's your usual commission rate for your agents?
B: Usually, we give a commission of 3% to our agents.
A: 3% is too low, I think.You see, we have a lot of work to do in sales promotion such as advertising on radio or TV, printing booklets, leaflets, catalogues and so on.It all costs money.3% is not enough.
B: Don't worry.We'll allow you a higher commission rate if your sales score a substantial increase.
A: You mean to say.--
B: Now, if you sell US $2 million worth of hand-held tools annually, we can only allow 3% commission.If the annual turnover exceeds US $5 million, you can get 5% commission.What do you think of that?
A: It sounds OK.Then how do you pay the commission?
B: We may deduct the commission from the invoice value directly or remit it to you after payment.
A: All right.If it's okay, we would like to sign an agency agreement with you immediately.
B : Think it over.We hope to keep a good business relationship with you.
A: Thank you for your help.

English has never been the only language in use over the British Isles , and it certainly is not now! Welsh is still used in Wales. Some Welsh people still speak it as their mother tongue , and it is widely taught in Welsh schools. Some people in Scotland and in Ireland still use a language that is related to Welsh. It is called Gaelic. These languages have a long history in these islands - longer than the history of English. In addition , people from
overseas have settled in England quite recently during this century. In some industrial cities , though not generally in Britain , you find groups of people who speak Polish , and other groups speaking the languages of the Indian subcontinent. A survey of North London schools in the early 1980' s found that nearly a third of the children spoke a language other than English at home.
The majority of the 55 million people living in England use English all the time. Standard English , that is , written English , is in use throughout Britain. Spoken English , however , sounds very different in different parts of the country. There is a story , a play. by the famous writer George Bernard Shaw , about a professor of English Language who can tell you someone' s address when he hears that person speak! That is exaggeration of course. Not even a Professor , who has studied the sounds of English all his life , can really do that. However ,it is true hat most people who have lived for a long time in Britain can tell a number of things about the people as soon as they speak! Usually we cannot tell the speaker' s address
, but we can guess the part of the country where the person comes from. We can tell how well educated he or she is too! If an international user of English , like anyone of you here , happens to meet speakers from , say , the North or the West of England , you may find them hard to understand. Unless you understand what is going on your confidence in your ability to use the language may be badly shaken.
