莎莉：我玩得很开心。空气清新、心情平静、环境安宁，而且我认识了很多新人。
贝丝：你为什么说和你一起工作的人是“新”人？
莎莉：因为在单位我只看到他们职业化的工作形象。在外面玩的时候我看到了他们有趣的一面。
贝丝：你认为周末旅游能提高团队的效率吗？
莎莉：我确实这么认为。我多了解了每个人，这样我们的交流就更容易了。
贝丝：真的很有意思―你和与你一起工作的人度过的时间要多于你和家人与朋友。可是谁能说他们很了解那些和他们一起工作的人呢？
莎莉：解决此问题并要真正了解与你一起工作的人的一个好方法就是外出旅游。旅游要成功，就要选择一个远离办公室，并且与一般办公室氛围不同的地方。
贝丝：就像你们在过去的这个周末一样？
莎莉：当然。
贝丝：听起来不错。我希望下一次周末旅行我能去！
莎莉：我也希望你能参加。

03经典背诵
True Love真爱
An ancient Hebrew text says，"Love is as strong as death".It seems that not everyone experiences this kind of strong love.The increase in poverty，crime and war tells us that the world is in desperate need of true love.But what is true love
Love is something we all need，but how do we know when we've experienced it True love is best seen as devotion and action，not an emotion.Love is not exclusively based on how we feel.Certainly our emotions are involved，but they cannot be our only criteria for love.True love is when you care enough about another person that you would lay down your life for them.When this happens，then love truly is"as strong as death".
How many of you have a mother or father，husband or wife，son or daughter or friend who would sacrifice his or her own life for yours Those of you who truly love your spouse and children would unselfishly lay your life on the line to save them from death.Many people，in emergency rooms with their loved ones have prayed，"Please God，take me instead of them."
Find true love，and be a true lover as well.May you find the love which is not only stronger than death but which leads to a truly fulfilling life.
一句古老的希伯来文说，“爱与死一样强烈”。看来，不是每个人都经历了这种强烈的爱。贫穷，犯罪和战争的增多告诉我们，世界迫切需要的是真爱。但什么是真 爱？
爱是我们所有人都需要的，但是我们怎么才能知道何时经历爱呢？真爱被视为奉献和行动，而不是一种情感。爱不完全是基于我们的感觉如何。当然，我们的感情包 含在内，但是他们不是我们爱的唯一标准。真爱是当你真心关怀另一个人，你愿意为他们放弃你的生命。这个时刻，爱的确是和死一样强烈。
你们中有多少人的母亲或父亲，丈夫或妻子，儿子或女儿或朋友愿意为你牺牲他或她的生命？那些真正爱你的配偶和子女的人会把他们从死亡前线解救出来。许多人 在急诊室与他们的亲人祈祷，“请求上帝，让我来替他们遭受这一切吧。”
找到真爱，并且也成为一个真正的爱人。希望你不仅能找到比死亡还强烈的爱，而且能过上美满的生活。
