Don’t get mad--- get promoted
When it comes to succeeding at work, conventional wisdom says you should check your emotions at the door. But Anne Kreamer, the author of the new book It’s Always Personal, disagrees. “It reduces people’s ability to bring their best selves to their work,” she says. ___1___ Here’s how to turn your emotions into opportunities.
__2___
How to get promoted: Engage in joint（联合的）problem solving.
Losing your temper at work is “universally uncool,” say Kreamer. But opening your emotional floodgates strategically can lead to solutions if both sides are willing to work together. ___3___ “The specific time and private space establishes boundaries so you have a greater chance of achieving a constructive outcome and maintaining the relationship,” Kreamer adds.
I feel: Afraid and anxious.
How to get promoted: Improve planning skills.
___4___ Identify what’s behind your fear and take specific action --- ask your manager for details and take on some responsibilities. You’ll calm down and do a better job. “No boss minds helping an eager employee learn something new, but every boss hates having to deal with a bungled（搞糟了的） project,” says Kreamer.
I feel: Happy.
How to get promoted: Increase creativity and productivity.
When you’re in a positive mood, your brain activity actually shifts, says Kreamer. “Your focus deepens, and your dopamine（多巴胺） levels increase. ___5___”

A．I feel: Angry.

B．I feel: like crying.

C．This helps you see things from a different perspective.

D．It’s a signal that there’s a problem that needs to be solved.

E. Are you clear about an assignment or underprepared for a meeting?
F. Instead, Kreamer suggests acting on your feelings can help you do a good job.

In the United States, engineering is a profession(职业) that has been historically under the control of men. Even today, it’s still true that few women become civil or chemical or mechanical engineers, but that’s something on www.EngineerGirl.org encouraging girls to change the present situation. Young women who visit the web site can find out about a great job choice they might not have considered.
"Women are not well represented in engineering and in engineering education programs and then of course, down the road, in the engineering workforce. So only about 20 percent of engineering undergraduate degrees(本科文凭) go to women, and then only about nine percent of working engineers are women."
Mary Mattis, the National Academy of Engineering, says "we know from the research that middle-school girls are at a critical point in their lives, and that it’s a time when we need to reach them, so this website aims to increase their awareness of interesting fields in engineering. On the other hand, it wants to make them understand what a wonderful productive and exciting job you can have as an engineer.”
Engineering is a demanding course of study—there is a lot of science and math, for many girls and even boys that can be challenging. But Ms. Mattis says that the EngineerGirl website stresses that engineering can also be fun and exciting.
"It’s about designing things. It’s about changing the world for people. It’s about making a difference. And, in addition, you can make a good living; you can be independent economically by becoming an engineer. All of those things are messages that girls need to get."
While most engineers go into traditional fields such as mechanical and electrical engineering, the EngineerGirl site also emphasizes engineering jobs which are related to other fields such as bio-engineering, sports engineering and --- believe it or not—chocolate engineering.
Even if you are not a girl in the target(目标) age group, there’s a lot of interesting information on the site, including biographies(自传)of some well-known women engineers.

Title	Website(56)______ Girls to Learn Engineering
Present(57)_____ for the engineering profession in the USA	The majority of men take up the profession throughout(58) ______, while only a small number of women work as engineers.
