Managing Oneself
We live in an age full of opportunities: If you are smart enough,and have got ambition and keep pushing forward, you can rise to the top of your chosen profession, no matter where you started out.But with opportunity comes responsibility. Companies today aren' t managing their employees' careers. Professional workers must be their own chief executive officers (CEO) . It' s up to you to strive for your place, to keep yourself engaged and productive 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, what your values are, and where you can make the greatest contribution, because only when you operate from strength can you achieve true excellence.
History' s great achievers — Napoléon, da Vinci, and Mozart — have always managed themselves. But they are so unusual both in their talents and in their accomplishments as to be considered rare exceptions. Now, most of us, even those of us with modest talents, will have to learn to manage ourselves. We will have to learn to develop ourselves. We will have to place ourselves where we can make the greatest contribution.And we will have to stay mentally alert and engaged during a 50-year working life, which means knowing how and when to change the work we do.

When the tea itself is served,the newlyweds kneel in front of their parents,serving tea to both sides of parents,as well as elder close relatives. Parents give their words of blessing and gifts to the newlyweds. During tea presentation,a “good luck woman” would say lucky phrases to bless the newlyweds and the parents. This “good luck woman” should be someone who is blessed with
a good marriage,healthy children and husband,and living parents.
Newlyweds also present tea to each other,raising the tea cups high to show respect before presenting to each other.

It' s not entirely clear why medicine has been so slow to build on Anderson's early success. The National Institutes of Health budget office estimates it will spend $ 432 million on gene-therapy research in 2005, and there is no shortage of promising leads. The therapeutic genes are usually delivered through viruses that don't cause human disease. "The virus is sort of like a Trojan horse, " says Ronald Crystal of New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical College. "The cargo is the gene. "
At the University of Pennsylvania's Abramsoh Cancer Center, immunologist Carl June recently treated HIV patients with a gene intended to help their cells resist the infection. At Cornell University, researchers are pursuing gene-based therapies for Parkinson' s disease and a rare hereditary disorder that destroys children' s brain cells. At Stanford University and the Children' s Hospital of Philadelphia, researchers are trying to figure out how to help patients with hemophilia who today must inject themselves with expensive clotting drugs for life. Animal experiments have shown great promise.
But somehow, things get lost in the translation from laboratory to patient. In human trials of the hemophilia treatment, patients show a response at first, but it fades over time. And the field has still not recovered from the setback it suffered in 1999, when Jesse Gelsinger, an 18-year-old with a rare metabolic disorder, died after receiving an experimental gene therapy at the University of Pennsylvania. Some experts worry that the field will be tarnished further if the next people to benefit are not patients but athletes seeking an edge. This summer, researchers at the Salk Institute in San Diego said they had created a "marathon mouse" by implanting a gene that enhances running ability; already, officials at the World Anti-Doping Agency are preparing to test athletes for signs of "gene doping". But the principle is the same, whether you' re trying to help a healthy runner run faster or allow a muscular-dystrophy patient to walk. "Everybody recognizes that gene therapy is a very good idea, " says Crystal. "And eventually it's going to work. "
The case of Ashanthi Desilva is mentioned in the text to______.
A.show the promise of gene-therapy
B.give an example of modern treatment for fatal diseases
C.introduce the achievement of Anderson and his team
