The power of words, then, lies in their combinations--the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts, but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and feelings. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary (文字的) style. Above alt, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and rude.

Performance Evaluation
When we are introduced to someone for the first time, we automatically form. an impression based on his or her appearance, voice, and personality traits. Right or wrong, these first impressions can be lasting ones. Sometimes we base our evaluations of other people on more substantial evidence—the way they perform. their jobs or interact with their co-workers and superiors, for example. Although many of the evaluations we make on a daily basis are not conscious, they still have a significant impact on the way we view the people around us.
If you're a manager, your working day involves a series of appraisals. Perhaps you begin by making the rounds of various activities for which you are responsible, checking on where major pieces of work stand. You chat briefly with your employees, find out what they're doing. (8) .Back at your own desk, you go through your mail, answering according to what you know about the person you're addressing. The way you hand out work assignments is also based on what you know about individual employees. You provide instruction, guidance, and coaching on the basis of each worker's experience and maturity.
If you have visitors during the day, you unconsciously size them up and adjust your speech and actions accordingly. (9) .If an employee is up for salary review, you decide whether or not he or she merits more money. If there is a vacancy in the department, you weigh the relative qualifications of the available candidates before making your decision.
These are standard activities for any manager or supervisor, and yet each involves a deliberate act of appraisal. The point here is that performance appraisal is not an occasional or chance occurrence. (10) .
Outside the work environment, of course, the evaluations we make of other may merely determine whether or not we choose them as our friends. (11) .These judgments may determine who gets a job, who is given an opportunity for additional training, who gets a raise or a promotion, who is transferred or reassigned, and who is terminated. This is one reason why performance evaluation skills and techniques deserve the attention that is given.
The purposes for which performance evaluation are conducted are almost as varied as the techniques that have been developed to gather the necessary data. (12) .For example, employees could be motivated to improve their performance.
A.In your contacts with your own boss, you organise your material and present your information in a way that will gain his or her approval.
B.It is an integral part of the manager's job as it is beneficial to both the one being evaluated and the company per se.
C.On the basis of your knowledge of each of them, you decide whether or not a particular work item requires your attention.
D.But there are some objectives that all evaluation systems share.
E.Few managers would dispute that employees are the company's most valuable asset.
F.But the evaluation we make in the context of an employment relationship are far more crucial in terms of outcome.

Football
Modern football originated in England in the 19th century. The first international football match was played in 1871 between Scotland and England and the final score was nil all. Nil is the term used in football to indicate a score of zero and nil all means both teams did not score.
FIFA stands for Federation of International Football Associations and was founded in Paris on 21st May 1904. The first World Cup was held in South America in Montevideo, the capital city of Uruguay in July 1930. FIFA's president at the time, Jules Rimet, was able to persuade 13 teams to meet in Uruguay. Uruguay, planning the celebration of its 100th anniversary of independence in 1930, was assigned the organisation of the first FIFA World Cup. It was the only event not to involve the modern qualifying rounds and the only European teams that came were France, Belgium, Yugoslavia, and Romania. Other European teams either wished to remain in purely amateur events, or argued that the time needed for the trip to South America was far too long. Other than Uruguay six additional South American teams participated, including Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay and Peru. Two teams remained to complete the final 13 for 1930, Mexico and the United States. Victory and the first World Cup went to Uruguay when they beat Argentina four two in the final.
The French sculptor, Abel Lafleur, created the first World Cup trophy, the famous Jules Rimet Cup. This trophy had an interesting history. During the Second World War, it was hidden from the Germans under a bed in an Italian home. After surviving World War Ⅱ, the World Cup was stolen in London during a public exhibition just before the 1966 England World Cup. Fortunately, the trophy was found hidden under a bush by a dog named Pickles before the tournament began. It was stolen again in Brazil in 1983 after the soccer superpower won it permanently after their third World Cup success in 1970. The trophy has never been recovered and many believe that thieves melted it down, leaving Brazil with only a replica of the cup. Under FIFA regulations revised after the disappearance of the Jules Rimet Cup, nowadays even three time champions cannot permanently keep the trophy.
The present trophy is the work of an Italian sculptor named Silvio Gazzaniga and it is 36 centimeters tall and weighs 4.97 kilograms. It was first awarded at the 1974 games in Germany and the champions of the 2006 tournament, also to be held in Germany, will take home a gold-plated replica, which is a little smaller than the original.
Brazil and Germany are the most successful teams in the history of World Cup football. Brazil has won the World Cup five times, including the 2002 World Cup in Japan/South Korea, and taken second place twice. Germany has made it to the final seven times and won the World Cup three times. The only player to have won three World Cups is the Brazilian, Pele whose real name is Edson Arantes do Nascimento.
From 9 June to 9 July 2006, 32 teams will be playing in Germany for the title of the 18th FIFA Football World Champion. There will be a total of 64 matches at 12 venues. After the World Cup in 1974, this is the second time Germany will host the greatest football event in the world and 3.2 million football fans and guests are expected from around the world. The opening match is in Munich on 9 June 2006 and the final match will be in Berlin on 9 July 2006. It will be Germany's second time to host the World Cup after 1974. So far the tournament has been arranged 9 times in Europe, 4 times in Latin America, 2 times in Central America, once in North America and once in Asia(Korea & Japan). It has been never arranged in Africa.
