[单项选择]Text 3 Employees of the Taft Vale Railway Company in South Wales greased the tracks and cut telegraph wires during a bitter strike in 1900. The next year the House of Lords ruled that their union could be sued for damaging the company. The shock to the union movement inspired the Labour Party and a 1906 Trade Disputes Act, aimed at protecting strikers from such punishment through the courts. On May 18th in 2010, leaders of Unite, a trade union, invoked the spirit of Taff Vale after a court injunction stopped a threatened 20-day series of strikes by British Airways’ cabin crew, 90 percent of whom are Unite members. The judgment, which Unite called an "absolute disgrace", hung on a technicality: that the results of the strike ballot had not been relayed correctly to BA staff. The union immediately appealed, and on May 20th had the judgment overturned. So for BA the strike had only been slightly delayed. The court saga illustrates the unyielding antipathy in the dispute
A. low-cost airlines will enjoy sustained growth.
B. expansion of low-cost airlines is well-timed.
C. volcanic ash and the euro crisis will affect most airlines.

One source of a poor self-concept is an inaccurate self-perception. Such unrealistic pictures sometimes come from being overly hard on yourself, believing that you’re worse than the facts indicate. By learning to take a realistic view of yourself, it will be possible to see whether you have been selling yourself short. Of course, it would be foolish to deny that you could be a better person than you are, but it’s also important to recognize your strengths.
An unrealistically poor self-concept can also arise from the inaccurate feedback of others. Perhaps you are in an environment where you receive an excessive number of downer messages, many of which are undeserved, and a
minimum of upper messages. We’ve known many housewives, for example’ who have returned to college after many years spent in homemaking, where they received virtually no recognition for their intellectual strengths. It’s amazing that the
A. correct their negative image of you
B. change to another school and find supportive teachers
C. ask them to point out your shortcomings .....
D. give it due attention and find a correct picture of you
