第一单元
短文Managing Oneself
自我管理
We live in an age full of opportunities: If you are smart enough, and have got ambition ambition /?m?b??n/ n.雄心，抱负
and keep pushing forward, you can rise to the top of your chosen profession, no matter where you started out. 我们生活在一个充满机遇的时代︰无论你从哪里开始，如果你既聪明过人，又有远大抱负，并且勇往直前，那么你就可以在自己所选的职业领域中出类拔萃。
But with opportunity comes responsibility. But with opportunity comes responsibility.
但是，随着机遇而来的便是责任。此句为倒装句，主语responsibility 置于谓语动词comes之后，with opportunity前置，是为了强调“机遇”，与短文第一句“We live in an age full of opportunities”相呼应。以伴随状语开头（With或Along with放在句首）时，句子可以倒装。例如：With globalization have come many problems. 全球化带来许多问题。
Companies today aren't managing their employees'careers. Professional workers must be their own chief xecutive officers (CEO). It's up to you to strive strive /stra?v/
vi.力争，努力，奋斗
or your place, to keep yourself engaged and productive productive /pr??d?kt?v/
adj.富有成效的；多产的，富饶的
during a working life that may last around 50 years. To do those things well, you'll need to have a deep understanding of yourself —not only what your strengths and weaknesses are, but also how you learn, how you work with others ... you'll need to have a deep understanding of yourself —not only what your strengths and weaknesses are, but also how you learn, how you work with others ...
你需要对自己有一个深刻的了解，不仅仅是你的优缺点，还有你的学习方式，你与人共事的方式......not only ... but also ...用于连接两个表示对等、并列关系的成分，意为“不仅......而且......”，着重强调后者。例如：His speech not only broke the ice, but also aroused everyone's interest. 他的发言不仅打破了冷场, 而且引起了大家的兴趣。not only ... but also ...中的also通常可以省略, 有时甚至but also 一并省略。
what your values are, and where you can make the greatest contribution contribution /?kɑ?ntr??bju??n/ n.贡献
because only when you operate from strength can you achieve true excellence. ... only when you operate from strength can you achieve true excellence.
只有当你充分发挥自己的长处时，你才能做到真正优秀。这是一个倒装句型，only前置于句首，主句中的情态动词can 置于主语you之前，还原后的结构是：you can achieve true excellence only when you ... （只有当......的时候）。当“only+副词/介词短语/状语从句”放在句首时，主句倒装。例如：Only in this way can you learn English well. 只有这样，你才能学好英语。Only after being asked three times did he come to the meeting. 叫了三次，他才来参加会议。Only when he is seriously ill does he ever stay in bed. 只有病得很重时，他才卧床休息。
但是，随着机遇而来的便是责任。现在的公司已经不管理员工的职业生涯，自由职业者必须成为自己的首席执行官(CEO)。在大约五十年的职业生涯中，能否积极上进、勤奋工作、取得成效取决于你自己。要把事情做好，你需要对自己有一个深刻的了解，不仅仅是你的优缺点，还有你的学习方式，你与人共事的方式，你的价值观，以及你能作出最大贡献的领域。因为只有当你充分发挥自己的长处时，你才能做到真正优秀。
