Module 2 Developing and Developed Countries Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) A My wifes friend Rachel wouldnt stop complaining (抱怨)．For twenty minutes she had a series of complaints.She complained about her job.She complained about her companys new policies.She complained about the economy.Most of all, she complained about her lack of sales at work. I dont remember saying this, but Rachel likes to remind me that I finally stopped her from complaining by saying, “Rachel, will you please shut up？” Then I said, “It is really simple.You have a choice.You can accept your present job with a positive attitude and decide to do your best every day or you can find a new job in a new company.But whatever you do, stop complaining because its not doing you any good.Either change your job or change your attitude towards your job.”The conversation was over and so was our friendship, I thought, because Rachel wouldnt speak to me for a few months. Then my wife and I saw her at a party and she told me that while it didnt feel good to hear what I had said, she decided to take my advice.She stayed in her job, stopped complaining and started selling more.Three months after changing her attitude, her sales were up 30%.A year later, her sales were up 70%.Everyone in her company wanted to know how she was doing it. Rachel stopped complaining and started winning.How about you? Is complaining harming you or your team? If complaining is holding you back, I know how you feel.I used to be a complainer.Thats why I knew what Rachel needed to hear.I was in a similar situation 10 years ago.But Ive learned that when you stop complaining and take positive action, you start winning.Give it a try! 【语篇解读】　在作者的建议下，Rachel改变态度不再抱怨，工作业绩也提高了。 1．The writer wrote this passage to________.
