Unit 3 Understanding each other Section Ⅰ Welcome to the unit amp; Reading-Pre-reading In many parts of the world, personal influence is essential in achieving success. This is not true in the United States, where success usually results from hard work, education, skill, and personal initiative (主动权，首创精神). America is truly a “do-it-yourself” society; success is not dependent on family origins or the help of an influential person. Personal progress is the result of individual effort. Because effort and initiative are so important in America, there are many customs that may be different from those practiced in other countries. For example, it is not considered dishonorable (不光彩的) to quit a job, even if you have had it for only a short time. Moving from job-to-job, or “job-hopping”， as it is called, is quite acceptable in the United States. Frequently, the opportunity to change jobs offers workers a chance to move up to a better position. Americans like to move from place to place trying new jobs, meeting new people and living in different parts of the country. “Job-hopping” also gives employers a chance to benefit from the new ideas and skills that different people bring to their jobs even if such people are employed for only a short time.  Section_ⅠWelcome to the unit Reading — Pre-reading Cultural differences Ma Li：Hi, everyone.
