导读:新生开学季是学校一年中最喧闹的时候,同时也是校内推销(salespromotion)疯狂时。你是否曾“被推
销”过?或是也曾向新生推销过商品?

高校入学日也正是向新生们推销各式各样商品的最佳时机,从日常生活用品到旅游景点年票,可谓应有尽
有。而这些推销员都是来自高班级的同学。他们可以进入同学宿舍楼内,并很清晰怎样尽快地与同龄人打
成一片。很多高班级同学都会抓住这个机会挣外快,而更为重要的是,他们还可以提前取得一些生意经。
《21世纪英文报》记者许靖烯(音译)联同校内通讯员李强(音译)采访了一些校内推销员,来看看他们
从中学到了哪些职业学问。本报刘希丹(音译)在这里也共享了她个人的经受。

用一些其他蹩脚的理由来要求退订。

点评双语新闻“过度自信者更易胜利”
各位2023级硕士讨论生:
leaptallbuildingsinasinglebound.
Positiveself-delusioncanalsocauseproblemsandleadtowrongdecisionmaking,uealisticexpectations,dangerandfailure.
他们常常由于太过自信甚至自负而遭到指责,然而成就最高的人往往是那些过高估量自身力量的人。
讨论人员认为他们现在已经首度发觉为什么人类会有过度乐观的心理。电脑操纵的模拟试验显示,在生活中各个方面,过分自信常常能够增加获胜的几率。
多年以来,科学家对于过分自信是好事还是坏事以及为何会有这种心理始终存在分歧。
爱丁堡高校的多米尼克#8226;强森博士说:“始终以来人们都无法较好地解释为什么我们会过度自信,这一新模拟试验为其供应了一种进化上的理由。这种心理不大可能是意外,我们会过度自信,或许是有合理的缘由的。”
短跑运动员尤塞恩#8226;博尔特以其放松而自信的竞赛状态著称,“最宏大的”拳击手穆罕默德#8226;阿里也是这样。不过,讨论人员也要警告那些认为自己可以比高速飞行的子弹还快,比机车还有力气,或能一跳就越过高楼的人。
乐观的自我哄骗也会导致问题,并可能使人做出错误的决策、产生不切实际的期望、引发危急和造成失败。
