| He has vowed that he will not stop building his business until it is worth ￡100 million. But hard-working Owens can stop for at least a moment's celebration after making his first ￡1 million at the age of 16. Owens, who has used a computer since the age of seven, began teaching himself basic web design at the age of ten when he was given his first Mac computer. He used his pocket money to fund his first business project, website Mac Box Bundle at just 14 which has made ￡700,000 since its establishment in 2008. Mac Box Bundle sells a combination of popular Mac applications which are worth up to $400 together for under just $100 and donates 10 percent of the money to charities. He then established an advertising company Branchr a year later and worked on the business after school and at weekends. Branchr made a surprising ￡500,000 in its first year. Branchr works as a platform for website owners to sell advertising. Owens, from Northampton, currently employs eight staff-all adults-around the UK and America as sales and technical assistants. The young man lives with his parents. His mother who is a company secretary said he was inspired to go into business after observing the huge success achieved by Apple's chief executive officers (首席执行官) Steve Jobs. Owens said,"I think everyone has business sense in them, and they just need to gain experience and be determined to make it. There is no magical formula (法则) for business, It takes hard work, determination and the drive to do something great. My aim is to become a leading name in the world of Internet and mobile advertising and push myself right to the top of the game. The teenager insists his professional success has not affected his personal life, and says his interests include photography and playing the guitar. "My friends and I don't really talk about my success. To them I'm just a normal teenager and it doesn't change anything between us." |

| I've been writing for most of my life. The book Writing Without Teachers introduced me to one distinction(区别) and one practice that has helped my writing processes tremendously. The distinction is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to employ both to get to a finished result, they cannot work in parallel no matter how much we might like to think so. Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us encounter. If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while you are trying to capture a fleeting (稍纵即逝的) thought, the thought will die. If you capture the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking that it is. The practice that can help you past your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls"free writing." In free writing, the objective is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually for 15-20 minutes. No stopping, no going back, no criticizing. The goal is to get the words flowing. As the words begin to flow, the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen. Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that you've persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. Most likely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near. Instead of staring at a blank start filling it with words no matter how bad. Halfway through your available time, stop and rework your raw writing into something closer to finished product. Move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices. |
| 1. When the author says the creative mind and the critical mind "cannot work in parallel" in the writing process, he means _____. |
| A. one cannot use them at the same time B. they cannot be regarded as equally important C. they are in constant conflict with each other D. no one can be both creative and critical |
| 2. What prevents people from writing on is _____. |
| A. putting their ideas in raw form B. ignoring grammatical soundness C. attempting to edit as they write D. trying to capture fleeting thoughts |
| 3. What is the chief objective of the first stage of writing? |
| A. To organize one's thoughts logically. B. To get one's ideas down. C. To choose an appropriate topic. D. To collect raw materials. |
| 4. One common concern of writers about "free writing" is that _____. |
| A. it overstresses the role of the creative mind B. it does not help them to think clearly C. it may bring about too much criticism D. it takes too much time to edit afterwards |
| 5. In what way does the critical mind help the writer in the writing process? |
| A. It allows him to sit on the side and observe. B. It helps him to come up with new ideas. C. It saves the writing time available to him. D. It improves his writing into better shape. |

| Sustainable development is applied to just about everything from energy to clean water and economic growth, and as a result it has become difficult to question either the basic assumptions behind it or the way the concept is put to use. This is especially true in agriculture, where sustainable development is often taken as the measure of progress without a proper appreciation of historical and cultural perspectives. To start with, it is important to remember that the nature of agriculture has changed markedly throughout history, and will continue to do so. Medieval agriculture in northern Europe fed, clothed and sheltered a mainly rural society with a much lower population density than it is today. It had minimal effect on biodiversity, and any pollution it caused was typically localized. In terms of energy use and the nutrients captured in the product it was relatively inefficient. Contrast this with farming since the start of the industrial revolution. Competition from overseas led farmers to specialize and increase yields. Throughout this period food became cheaper, safer and more reliable. However, these changes have also led to habitat loss and to reducing biodiversity. All this means that agriculture in the 21st century will have to be very different from how it was in the 20th. This will require thorough thinking. For example, we need to move away from the idea that traditional practices are certainly more sustainable than new ones. We also need to abandon the notion that agriculture can be "zero impact". The key will be to abandon the rather simple and static (稳定的) measures of sustainability, which centre on the need to maintain production without increasing damage. Instead we need a more dynamic interpretation, one that looks at the pros and cons of all the various way land is used. There are many different ways to measure agricultural performance besides food yield: energy use, environmental costs, water purity, carbon footprint and biodiversity. It is clear, for example, that the carbon of transporting tomatoes from Spain to the UK is less than that of producing them in the UK with additional heating and lighting. But we do not know whether lower carbon footprints will always be better for biodiversity. What is important is recognizing that sustainable agriculture is not just about sustainable food production. |
| 1. How do people often measure progress in agriculture? |
| A. By its impact on the environment B. By its contribution to economic growth C. By its productivity D. By its sustainability |
| 2. Specialization and the effort to increase yields have resulted in _____. |
| A. Localized pollution B. The shrinking of farmland C. the decrease of biodiversity D. competition from overseas |
| 3. What does the author think of traditional farming practices? |
| A. They are not necessarily sustainable B. They have not kept pace with population growth C. They have remained the same over the centuries D. They are environmentally friendly |
| 4. What will agriculture be like in the 21st century? |
| A. It will abandon traditional farming practices B. It will mainly keep traditional farming C. It will go through complete changes D. It will cause zero damage to the environment |
| 5. What is the author's purpose in writing this passage? |
| A. To remind people of the need of sustainable development. B. To urge people to rethink what sustainable agriculture is. C. To advance new criteria for measuring farming progress. D. To suggest ways of ensuring sustainable food production. |

| Rose wanted a job. She went to many offices and she didn't like any of them. One day she saw a board in an office read: "This office needs a typist." Rose was exciting. When Rose went to the manager's office, the man was writing something. Rose knocked the door and the manager raised her head."Do you need a typist?" asked Rose."Yes!" he said. Rose clapped her hand. She couldn't help saying,"OK! How much will you pay for me every month?" The manager thought in a while and said,"I will pay you 77 dollars for the first three months. Then I will pay you 30 dollars every month." Rose smiled and answer, "Great! I will go and work here three months late." The manager was speechless. _________________________________________________________________________________________ |
