Here is the story about how the American civil rights movement started in the 1950s. Tired as she was, Mrs. Parks walked past the first few¡ªmostly empty¡ªrows of seats marked \sit in these seats as long as no white person was standing. Despite the fact that Rosa Parks hated segregation laws, she had never done anything against the law. She had been fighting for civil rights for more than 10 years, but always legally. However, that day she did something that was illegal. She found and sat in a(n) vacant seat in the back of the bus. The bus continued along its route. The driver noticed that all the seats in the \taken. And more white people had just climbed aboard. He ordered the people in Mrs. Parks' row to move to the back, where there were no open seats and people had to stand. No one moved at first, but when the driver barked at the black passengers a second time, they did what they were told. They all moved to the back¡ªexcept Rosa Parks. She remained in the prohibited seat. Consequently, trouble occured. Ms. Parks was thrown in jail for defying the law.
This incident inspired the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955-1956. It also sparked the 20th-century civil rights movement. Mrs. Parks quickly became the focus of that day. She has been remembered as a brave fighter in the civil rights movement.

Unit 9
Some people have criticized the Disney management for being culturally insensitive in building a theme park in France. Disney has reacted to the accusation with comments of its own. People from Disney have said that the company is very sensitive to the idea that its park shows a(n) lack of cultural concerns. They have tried to make it more European by emphasizing European cultural elements. The legends and fairy tales which come from Europe figure prominently in the park. The creative development of the theme park, in fact, has a European base. Disney has also claimed that the park will be special. It will have a
uniqueness appropriate to its European setting. All the direction signs in the park will be in two languages. They will be in French as well as in English. Some performers in the park will chat in French, Spanish and English. On the other hand, Disney will remain American. Disney does concede that the park is American. That is, it does have an American cultural focus in essence. Disney sees this through something important. It is the main selling value to attract people. The 320 million European citizens who live within a two-hour flight want to visit Disney, because it is American. The Europeans coming to the park would be disappointed by a park that is strictly representative of their own countries. The people who visit the park will be very happy with the American culture they see represented by Disneyland. During their trip, they will experience not only the cultures of Europe, but also that of the US as well. One thing is undeniable though: All other previous theme parks in Europe have been unsuccessful. It is not yet clear how a Disney theme park will do in France.

Unit 10
The concept of Emotional Intelligence (EO or EI) was first defined by Peter Salovey and John Mayer, but it became widely popular after Daniel Goleman published his best-seller Emotional Intelligence in 1995. A definition of emotional intelligence is \and what to do about it\
The control center of our emotions is a small part of our brain called the amygdala. It scans incoming signals from our sensory organs (eyes, ears, etc.) and act as the emotional alarm center of our body. When it detects a condition that we hate, that we fear, or that could hurt us, it triggers an immediate response from the other parts of our brain that control our actions. The amygdala's extensive web of the rest of the brain, including the rational mind. This accounts for why we sometimes do things \thinking\our face or losing our control during the course of a quarrel.
In fact, the importance of EQ for individual succes has emerged as a hot topic over the past decade. Many
