We cannot avoid risk yet we often avoid thinking about it. That is a shame, because if we think strategically about risk, we can use it to increase our chances of coming through difficult situations with our goals intact. Rather than pretending risk doesn?t exist, why not learn to manage it to our own benefit?
The first step: Acknowledge the risks your projects face. Start by writing a list of the things that can go wrong. That may sound gloomy, but it?s essential. Your list need to be very thorough, and probably never can be. But try to identify common risks-like the departure of a key colleague for a new job or the failure of a new technique upon which your project depends. The types of risks you identify will depend on the specifics of your work.
Once you have a list of risks, evaluate each one in two scales: ? Likelihood. Force yourself to honestly assess how likely each risk is. ? Impact. Then think about how much damage could occur under each situation.
Now it?s time to draft a second, more-detailed list. Go back through your initial list and consider how you might make each potential negative outcome less likely to occur, and also how you might minimize the damage to your project if one does happen. In
project-management term, this step is known as risk mitigation. A mitigation is anything that makes a risk less likely to spoil your overall goal.
Once you have drafted your list of mitigations, the final step is to go down that list and think about which ones are “worth it”. Look at all the information you?ve gathered about your risks and mitigations, and make a call about what it makes sense to do. You probably
have more intuition in this area than you realize, because most of us instinctively do risk-mitigation calculations in the nonwork areas of our lives. For instance, every time you decide whether or not to buy a guarantee on a new electronic toy, you?re doing this calculation in your head.
You have probably been intuitively doing some sort of risk analysis in your work life, too. Moving to a more explicit analysis (but one that is more qualitative than
quantitative-unless you like to play with numbers) can encourage you to acknowledge when you?re making overly optimistic assumptions. And this gives you a better chance to make plans that will withstand the failure of at least a couple of those assumptions.
Bringing your risk analysis out from the field of intuition can also help you overcome a tendency to overly ignore risk. It is easier to go ahead and take a big risk when you know that you have mitigations in place and a backup plan if things go wrong.
Thinking about risk can be a big scary, but really, ignoring risk is the riskiest behavior of all.

第五部分 书面表达（满分 25 分） 81.请认真阅读下面有关公告图书馆的文字及相关图表，并按照要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章。
Libraries have always been at the heart of the communities they serve. They are accessible and safe spaces，providing access to huge resources of information and knowledge.
Libraries have played an important role in helping generations of immigrants，young people， job seekers and readers to learn，stay connected and get ahead in life. Offering access to books， newspaper and，later，computers，they opened up a world of knowledge and ideas for millions of people. The public library transcends national and cultural boundarie — no matter where you are in the world，they are an essential part of creating and maintaining an educated and literate population.
But today，public libraries are at a turning point. The way we access and consume information has changed dramatically in the 21st century，and this presents major challenges and opportunities for public library systems across the world.
The advent of new technologies has changed some of our reading habits. But our need for shared，community-centred spaces to find information and connect with others is unlikely to change anytime soon.
