任务型阅读 The five R"s are five questions that we ask ourselvesall the time in o
题型：同步题难度：来源：
all the time in order to judge whether we"re doing a good
job for our customers, having positive vendor(小贩)
relationships, and dealing with our peers(同辈人)and
those around us.
Respect: Have you been respectful to whomever
you"re dealing with whether it"s a customer, peer, or a
vendor? And we define respect not as a respect for a
superior, but a respect for someone because they walk on
this planet with you. And you give them respect equally as
you would do.
Respond:Have you been responsive to the needs of
your customer or the person you"re dealing with? Many
people say "You didn"t react fast enough"and I actually
don"t agree with that philosophy. I think it"s more that
you"re not responding fast enough.
Reacting is a very emotional thing. Responding to
somebody involves thinking about what you"re doing so
you can help them. Responding implies that you"re
listening to what they want and what they"re saying, and
you"re trying to find a solution for them.
Realistic:Have you been realistic about what you can
or cannot do? If somebody comes to us with an unrealistic
goal that they need fulfill (完成), then we need to
immediately tell them that we can"t do it. We will ruin our
own reputation(名誉) through over promising.
Responsibility: It"s easy for one person to take
responsibility, but it"s difficult in an organization where
each person has a job to do and different people are
shepherding that project. Everybody has to go into it with
the philosophy that this is my project and I own it
collectively(共同地) with everybody else, but I"m going to
make it a personal responsibility when this thing succeeds.
Remembered:When you walk away from a situation
with a customer, vendor, peer, or anyone in your
organization, are you going to be remembered positively?
And if you have done all of the other four R"s, I think you
are going to be remembered positively.

| If you travel to a new exhibit at the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers, you will have chances to see some meateating plants. Take bladderworts (狸藻类植物), a kind of such plant, for example. They appear so small and grow in a quiet pond. "But these are the fastestknown killers of the plant kingdom, able to capture a small insect in 1/50 of a second using a trap door! " Once the trap door closes on the victim, the enzymes (酶) similar to those in the human stomach slowly digest the insect. When dinner is over, the plant opens the trap door and is ready to trap again. Meateating plants grow mostly in wet areas with soil that doesn"t offer much food value. In such conditions, these amazing plants have developed insect traps to get their nutritional needs over thousands of years. North America has more such plants than any other continents. Generally speaking, the traps may have attractive appearance to fool the eye, like pitcher plants, which get their name because they look like beautiful pitchers (a container like a bottle) full of nectar (花蜜). The Asian pitcher plant, for example, has bright colors and an attractive halfclosed lid. Curious insects are tempted to come close and take a sip, and then slide down the slippery (光滑的) slope to their deaths. Hairlike growths along the pitcher walls ensure that nothing can escape, and the digestive enzymes can get to work. A tiny insect can be digested in a few hours, but a fly takes a couple of days. Some of these pitchers are large enough to hold two gallons. Meateating plants only eat people in science fiction movies, but sometimes a bird or other small animals will discover that a pitcher plant isn"t a good place to get a drink. | |

Wikipedia is built differently from almost every other top 50 website.We have a small number of paid staff, just twentythree.Wikipedia content is free to use by anyone for any purpose.Our annual expenses are less than six million dollars.Wikipedia is run by the nonprofit Wikimedia Foundation, which I founded in 2003. Wikipedia is driven by a global community of more than 1  50,000 volunteers-all devoted to sharing knowledge freely.Over almost eight years, these volunteers have contributed more than 11 million articles in 265 languages.More than 275 million people come to our website every month to access information, free of charge and free of advertising.
