As entrepreneurs(创业者),we had a visin,we realized it,and nw we (21) (run) ur wn cmpanies.But the dream can damage ur “wrk-life balance.”
When the success f the cmpany rests n yur shulders,yu’ve always gt an excuse t put (22) else n hld.
What I’ve learned (23) (face) the demands f a start-up cmpany and a yung family ver the past cuple f decades is that smetimes the best way t slve the wrk-life balance prblem is t think small.Make a handful f lifestyle crrectins (24) ,individually,may nt
sund all that exciting,but taken tgether,can prevent yu frm getting t tired.
Here’s my list f life hacks that will help prevent exhaustin:
• Wrk frm hme ne day a week
Few things give yu a mre grunded,in-cntrl feeling than getting things dne in yur wn space and at yur wn pace.Instead f leaving the ffice (25) (clear) my head ver a Starbucks cffee,I can fld the laundry,and cut back n evening husewrk.
Nt t mentin,wrking in pajamas is ne f life’s (26) (underestimate) pleasures.
• Pencil in time fr exercise
It really bthered me (27) with the demands f cmpany and family,my tennis game was ging dwn the drain.That may sund unimprtant,but it wasn’t t me,(28) it was a meaningful part f my life utside f wrk.T get sme balance back in my life.I rearranged my schedule.Tw mrnings a week,I wke up an hur (29) (early) t wrk ut with a tennis cach.If sprts aren’t yur thing,try yga r that hbby that yu always lved but let g f after starting yur business.
• Learn smething new,utside the ffice
It can be draining t always be the persn wh’s suppsed t have the answers as a business leader.It’s surprisingly liberating t be n the ther side,(30) (absrb) knwledge withut the pressure t perfrm r t always be right.
Sectin B
Directins:After reading the passage blw,fill in each blank with a prper wrd given in the bx.Each wrd can b e used nly nce.Nte that there is ne re wrd than yu need.
While I was jumping rpe,my phne tk a fall t the hardwd flr which created multiple cracks n my screen.Hwever,the music kept 31 ,s all as well - r s I thught.
Thirty minutes later,I culd see nly ne-tenth f my screen while the rest was pitch-black.The next mrning,I decided nt t g t the phne stre fr 24 hurs,I felt a(n) 32 sense f calm that day,which led t my nt ging fr ne week.One week ended up becming 60 days withut my smartphne.
Here are three 33 I nticed and why yu may want t cnsider a smartphne detx(戒除期)yurself.
Yu’ll becme bred
While in line at a Starbucks,I nticed hw every individual had their head dwn,eyes fixed n their smartphne.With nthing t distract myself with during the waiting perid,I became bred,and my mind 34 thrugh all srts f tpics.
Bredm is 35 smething we avid at all csts.Hwever,bredm is the perfect way t make a(n) 36 n a business idea r prject.When yu enter a state f bredm,yu allw yur mind t relax and escape frm the realities f tday t the infinite 37 f tmrrw.
Yu’ll be able t dramatically reduce yur “wrk” hurs
A study fund that adults ages 18 t 33 38 their smartphnes 85 times a day,r nce every 10 minutes.
As I learned during my experiment,placing sme distance between myself and my device helped me fall int deep wrk mre easily.
By nt having my smartphne,my distractin time went dwn and thus my hurs f wrk were spent mre efficiently and effectively.On numerus ccasins,I fund myself 39 what t d with the afternn since I had already cmpleted my high-impact tasks fr the day.
Yur mental well-being will receive a bst(提高)
Obviusly,withut a cellphne,I experienced a lack f 40 news and cmments.While that helped cause a dramatic bst in my mental well-being,the biggest reasn fr it was truly cnnecting t peple.
Reading Cmprehensin Sectin A
Directins:Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill inn each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
As a child,what did yu want t be when yu grew up?If yu were like mst children,yu prbably let yur imaginatin run 41 .Maybe yu dreamed f flying int space r being a famus chef.Then perhaps ver the years,yur dreams became mre 42 .Or yu might have given up n sme altgether.
If that’s the case,then tday’s the day fr yu.January 13th is Make Yur Dreams Cme True Day.If yu’ve been 43 fulfilling yur dreams,this is the day t make a fresh start.
It’s imprtant t dream because dreams can give us the 44t succeed in life.Dreams inspire and mtivate us.The great thing abut dreams is that there’s n 45t accmplish them right away.They might take a few years r they might take a lifetime t 46.The imprtant thing is that yu’re 47wrking tward yur dream.And the best way t d that is by setting gals.
What is the 48 between a dream and a gal?It’s been said that dreams are the fimal destinatin;gals are the stps alng the way.
Dreams can be very 49 .But the steps yu take t reach them shuld be very 50 .Yur dreams state what yu want,but gals explain hw yu’ll get there.That makes gal setting a necessary step in 51 yur dreams.
Many successful peple have spken abut dreams.Frmer U.S. Secretary f State Clin Pwell stressed the 52 f wrking fr yur dreams. “A dream desn’t becme reality thrugh magic:it takes sweat, 53 and hared wrk.”Authr Les Brwn reminded us that dreams have n 54 limit.Yu are never t ld t set anther gal r t dream a new dream.
If yu’ve been dreaming abut ding smething fr years,start tday.Write dwn yur dream,and 55 yur gals.Then yu’ll be n yur way t making yur dreams cme true.
Sectin B
Directins:Read the fllwing three passages.Each passage is fllwed by several questins r unfinished statements.Fr each f them there are fur chices marked A,B,C and D.Chse the ne that fits best accrding t the infrmatin given in the passage yu have just read.
(A)
In 2008,smene,r perhaps a grup f peple,using the name Satshi Nakamt published a paper t an nline grup that discussed cryptgraphy(密码使用法),That paper described a prcess that wuld use cryptgraphy t create a secure electrnic cash system,nw knwn as a cryptcurrency(加密货币).Persn t persn payments culd be made nline using a shared netwrk f cmputers instead f a bank r ther financial institutin.Each deal culd happen very quickly.The shared netwrk f cmputers wuld als serve as the means t prve thse deals safely.Getting rid f the need fr a centralized banking system wuld pen up the pssibility fr anyne t becme part f the digital ecnmy.
Tday,there are well ver a thusand different cryptcurrencies.Mst are still trying t be feasible glbal payment systems like Bitcin.They are held back by prblems affecting the entire cryptcurrency industry.
One issue is weak security n cryptcurrency websites where users either stre their electrnic cash in virtual “wallets” r exchange ne kind f electrnic cash fr anther.In recent years,clever thieves have brken int many f these websites and stlen electrnic cash.The websites are struggling t prtect their users frm such thefts.
Anther prblem is the large number f fake crytcurrencies that are advertised n the internet.The advertisements invite internet users t visit websites ffering new cryptcurrencies.Many visitrs are persuaded by the websites t buy their cryptcurrencies using actual mney.Later,the websites disappear alng with the victims’ mney.Later,the websites disappear alng with the victims’ mney.In respnse t this prblem,cmpanies like Facebk and Ggle are limiting cryptcurrency advertising n their websites.
(B)
Prf f cncept
In 2015,Ggr brke nt the scene by releasing an electric scter called the Smartscter.Unlike mst electric scters.This ne wuldn’t need t be plugged in t recharge.Instead,users wuld stp by GStatins t exchange drained batteries fr fully charged nes.
Ggr was taking a risk.If peple were nt happy with the system f changing batteries the whle prject culd fail.They didn’t need t wrry,thugh.Only ne year later Ggr sld their 10,000th
Smartscter!
Setting the bar
Fast frward t 2019 and the release f the Series 3 Smartscter.Ggr scters are as ppular and revlutinary as ever.Their bright clrs are chsen by Beatrice Santiccili,a famus clr designer wh helped shape majr brands like Apple,Nike and Swatch.In additin t the scters’ bright clrs,plenty f cl accessries(配件)are available s yu can make yur scter yur wn.But mst imprtant f
all,Ggr cntinues t pave the way tward a future f respnsible energy cnsumptin.
Lking frward
Multiple cities and cuntries have cmmitted t making their transprtatin all-electric in the cming years,and Ggr is helping make that pssible.Ordered a package?Cmpanies like DHL and Taiwan Pst nw have fleets f Smartscters t make deliveries.Need a ride?Unlck a Ggr in Berlin,Paris r Madrid,thanks t scter sharing services.
The Smartscter is definitely ingenius,but there’s mre “At Ggr,I think the essential thing is that
we want t change hw peple use energy.And the Smartscter is nly the beginning.”says Hrace Luke,Ggr c-funder and CEO.This is where the GStatin cmes in.
Tmrrw’s energy
Gstatins are Al-equipped.They track battery health t maximize each battery’s life.They recharge batteries during ff-peak hurs t reduce strain n the city’s pwer grid(输电网).But they als learn when users usually visit and priritize supplying charged batteries at thse times.The fact f the matter is,cities are nly getting bigger.There are already dzens f megacities(特大城市)in the wrld,and there will nly be mre in the future.Ggr’s dream s the transfrmatin f megacities int smart cities,where pwer is plentiful and respnsible.They hpe t be a big part f that transfrmatin.
“Changing the wrld” might seem like an unrealistic gal.When faced with huge prblems such as air pllutin r energy shrtages,where d yu start?Tayuan-based Ggr believes yu start with a scter.

(C)
With s many investments required f us t succeed - time,resurces,talents,respnsibilities,even finances fr ur retirement - it’s easy t lse sight f the mst difficult investment f all t cmmit t urselves.
Getting t the pint where yu’re ready t start upgrading t yu 2.0 isn’t easy.But it desn’t mean drpping the ball everywhere else.It’s nt abut missins,but admissins.Cme clean with yurself t kick - start yur persnal grwth.
Unstuck starts with “u”
N ne purpsely chses t stp learning and grwing again,it just kind f happens in a lt f daily respnsibilities and life.And if it were easy t just kick it int gear(挡位)again,yu wuld have already dne it.But the truth is inescapable.If yu want t get ff that place t higher grund,it’s up t yu and nly yu.N ne will just hand yu a steady stream f pprtunities fr grwth.
Yu’ve been wrking in yur life,nt n it
Activity is ften cnfused with acceleratin(忙碌).I was guilty f this fr years in wrking place - staying always busy but nt admitting I was bred.I was lst in activity and nt stepping back t take time t questin what I wanted my life t be.Once I began wrking n my life - quitting crprate,becming an entrepreneur,restructuring t my life - I started grwing nce again.And I’ve never been happier.
Things aren’t happening t yu,they’re happening fr yu
A victim mentality(心态)is the enemy f persnal grwth.Lamenting ver everything that has gne wrng in yur life nly wastes energy frm wrking t make mre things g right.If yu want t kick-start grwth,yu must view setbacks as having a purpse,and then put them in their place.The past shuldn’t run r define yu - nly fuel yu.
The perfect time t start desn’t exist
I had s many things that had t be just right befre I culd make my lng-planned leap frm crprate.I’d tell myself, “I’d lve t g fr it right nw,but practically speaking.”Well,guess what?Practically is pisn.It’s the cnvenient excuse stpping yu frm what yu’re meant t becme.
It’s time t unplug thers’ pinins
Grw where yu want t grw.Learn what yu want t learn.Wherever yu are n the scale f what yu want t learn next - be it beginner r near-expert wn it,be prud f it.Pretenses are fr pretenders.Yu’re just trying t becme a better versin f yur genuine self.
Sectin C
Directins:Cmplete the fllwing passage by using the sentences in the bx.Each sentence can nly be used nce.Nte that there are w=tw sentences mre than yu need.
As 2019 draws t a clse,it can be helpful t think abut finishing what yu have started.With that in mind,here are sme thughts n finishing prjects and seasns well.
Finishing prjects
One step t finishing a prject cmes near the beginning:define what it means fr the prject t be finished.This culd mean getting an article published,submitting a reprt t yur bss r teacher,r creating designs fr a prduct. 67 .
In rder t finish prjects,yu must als plan ut the steps yu will take.Break yur big task int smaller nes,and give yurself a shrt-term deadline fr each f them. 68 .
Then when yu d finish - celebrate!Take sme time t enjy yur accmplishment and reward yurself fr all yur hard wrk.Als take sme time t cnsider hw the prject when what yu did well,and what needs imprvement. 69 .
Finishing the year
As we cme t the end f 2019,it’s gd t take sme time t pause and reflect n the past year.What gals did yu reach r what have yu learned?What wuld yu like t d differently next year?
While yu’re thinking,cnsider things yu’re thankful fr them the year.Yu culd make a list f 12,ne fr each mnth,r 52,ne fr each week.Or just write dwn as many things as yu can think f.This will help yu end the year with a psitive attitude.
70 .If yu made mistakes,recgnize them and then mve n.N ne can change the past,but yu can learn frm it and create a new future.
By finishing prjects and years well,yu can mve tward yur lng-term gals and set yurself up fr future triumphs.
Summary Writing
71.Directins:Read the fllwing passage.Summarize the main idea and the main pint(s) f the passage in n mre than 60 wrds.Use yur wn wrds as far as pssible.
Every culture has set rules abut hw peple shuld act.Patterns f gd behavir,r manners,shw respect and care fr thers.Yet the details f hw t express respect vary.
Greeting peple cheerfully is almst always cnsidered plite.But it’s mre imprtant in sme cultures than thers.Fr example,when yu enter a stre in France,yu shuld always greet the persn wrking there.Other cultures als value greeting peple.But f curse the greetings vary as peple speak different languages.
When I was grwing up in the United States,I nce participated in a perfrmance at my church.Afterward,smene gave me a cmpliment,but I felt like I had dne a bad jb.S I tried t refuse the cmpliment,saying, “N,I didn’t d that well.” My mther gt my attentin and tld me that was very rude.Later I learned that refusing a cmpliment is accepted and even apprved f in China.
Sme f the biggest cultural differences have t d with table manners.In Nrth America,it’s plite t eat as quietly as pssible.That means chewing with yur muth clsed and nt slurping(吃东西时发出的声音)yur sup.The same ges fr burping(打嗝).But in parts f Asia slurping shws that yu are enjying yur meal.And burping is a sign f being full and cntent.
There are als differences in hw peple eat acrss cultures.Fr example,in Nrth America and Eurpe peple use frks t bring fd t their muths.But in Thailand,a frk is nly used t push fd nt a spn.In India and the Middle East,peple eat with their hands.But eating with the left hand is frbidden.This is because the left hand is cnsidered unclean.
Yet there are als similar pints acrss cultures.Saying “please” and “thank yu,” fr example,is almst always plite.If yu shw appreciatin and try t fllw lcal custms,peple will generally respnd well.Shwing kindness can bring peple tgether,n matter what culture they cme frm.

Questin 11 thrugh 13 are based n the fllwing passage.
Have yu ever lst yur car in a parking lt? It happens. Yu park and g shpping. When yu get back, yu dn't have a clue where yur car is. Then yu start wandering arund clicking the panic buttn n yur car keys s the alarm ges ff. It can be frustrating, especially n a ht, sunny day.
D yu need t install an expensive GPS system t keep track f yur car? N. That's t expensive. Plus, yu wuld need t pay a mnthly fee just t use it. But nw there is a way t track yur vehicle withut spending a cin.
A Califrnia-based startup cmpany was able t make this a reality. They created a tiny device that wrks with yur smartphne, and it culd be exactly what yu're lking fr! It's a tracking device the size f a quarter. It's changing the way we keep track f the imprtant things in ur lives.
It's easy! Install the free TrackR app n yur smartphne, cnnect the app t yur device and yu're ready t g! Simply attach TrackR t whatever yu want t keep labels n. The entire prcess f setting it up nly takes 5 minutes r less. Yu can attach it t yur keys, briefcase wallet, yur latest tech devices and anything else yu dn' t want t lse.Then use the Track app t lcate yur missing item in secnds.
Questins
11. Why isn,'t a GPS system a gd way t track yur car?
12. What d we knw abut TrackR frm the passage?
13. What can be used t describe trackR?
Questin 14 thrugh 16 are based n the fllwing passage.
In raising clever kids, there are exceptins. It's maltreatment that seems t fuel exceptinal achievement mre than anything. It's nt a gene that enables it-it's great difficulty. Fr instance, ne in three exceptinal achievers in all fields that have been studied lst a parent befre the age f 15(cmpared with 18% befre mdern medicine). That applies equally t prime ministers, American presidents, British business peple and exceptinal writers. These peple are driven by the pain f lss.
Of curse, exceptinal success des require exceptinally hard wrk. Staying cmfrtable is nt the way. It creates needy, hungry and lnely adults. Emtinal grief leads t exceptinal achievers. British senir managers are actually mre likely t be self-centered than patients in mental hspitals. It's the same in the arts.
If yu really care a lt abut having an exceptinal child, yu shuld ensure that yur children lve yu and yu lve them. By all means have ambitins fr them. A child whse parents have n ambitin is emtinally neglected, but if they are ging t be emtinally healthy and exceptinal achievers, ambitins really cme frm them.
Questins
14. Amng exceptinally successful peple, what percentage f them lse a parent befre the age f 15?
15. Which f the fllwing are mre likely t be self-centered accrding t the passage?

Brent: Hell. Alisn
Alisn: Hi, Brent. Yu lk great! Are yu n a diet?
Brent: N, but I am getting mre exercise. And I did quit smking recently.
Alisn: Quit smking? I thught yu said smking helped relieve yur stress.
Brent: It did at first. But after I became mre aware f the harmful effects f smking, my perspective changed.
Alisn: It must have been smething pretty serius.
Brent: It was. I've been smking fr years, but last mnth I started cughing really badly.
Alisn: That's scary It's true that smking can cause lung cancer, heart disease and ther diseases.

Alisn: And nw that yu've quit, the peple arund yu wn't be affected by secndhand smke.
Brent: I knw! Recently, I've been n my friend's case t quit smking nw that she's pregnant.
Alisn: That's very dangerus. The baby culd get asthma which will affect its entire life.
Brent: I read a reprt by the wrld Health Organizatin (WHO) that said a tp cause f death fr children under the age f five is air pllutin. Much f that is frm secndhand smke.
Alisn Oh. what else?
Brent: The reprt als said that secndhand smke and air pllutin result in abut 570,000 child deaths arund the wrld each year. The true harm f tbacc smke is that it is a silent killer. Have yu ever heard f thirdhand smke?
Alisn: Yu mean the pisnus chemicals frm tbacc smke that are left n things like clthes and furniture?
Brent: Exactly. S there's really n aviding the pisns left behind by smking.
Alisn: Even using a fan r air cnditiner can't get rid f the remains. The pisn remains n surfaces fr at least six mnths and is especially dangerus fr babies and yung children.
Brent: I used t think smking was just a matter f persnal chice. But bviusly there are mre things t cnsider.
Alisn I can imagine quitting smking wasn't easy. But yu made the right chice. Gd fr yu.

As entrepreneurs(创业者),we had a visin,we realized it,and nw we (21) (run) ur wn cmpanies.But the dream can damage ur “wrk-life balance.”
When the success f the cmpany rests n yur shulders,yu’ve always gt an excuse t put (22) else n hld.
What I’ve learned (23) (face) the demands f a start-up cmpany and a yung family ver the past cuple f decades is that smetimes the best way t slve the wrk-life balance prblem is t think small.Make a handful f lifestyle crrectins (24) ,individually,may nt
sund all that exciting,but taken tgether,can prevent yu frm getting t tired.
Here’s my list f life hacks that will help prevent exhaustin:
• Wrk frm hme ne day a week
Few things give yu a mre grunded,in-cntrl feeling than getting things dne in yur wn space and at yur wn pace.Instead f leaving the ffice (25) (clear) my head ver a Starbucks cffee,I can fld the laundry,and cut back n evening husewrk.
Nt t mentin,wrking in pajamas is ne f life’s (26) (underestimate) pleasures.
• Pencil in time fr exercise
It really bthered me (27) with the demands f cmpany and family,my tennis game was ging dwn the drain.That may sund unimprtant,but it wasn’t t me,(28) it was a meaningful part f my life utside f wrk.T get sme balance back in my life.I rearranged my schedule.Tw mrnings a week,I wke up an hur (29) (early) t wrk ut with a tennis cach.If sprts aren’t yur thing,try yga r that hbby that yu always lved but let g f after starting yur business.
• Learn smething new,utside the ffice
It can be draining t always be the persn wh’s suppsed t have the answers as a business leader.It’s surprisingly liberating t be n the ther side,(30) (absrb) knwledge withut the pressure t perfrm r t always be right.

While I was jumping rpe,my phne tk a fall t the hardwd flr which created multiple cracks n my screen.Hwever,the music kept 31 ,s all as well - r s I thught.
Thirty minutes later,I culd see nly ne-tenth f my screen while the rest was pitch-black.The next mrning,I decided nt t g t the phne stre fr 24 hurs,I felt a(n) 32 sense f calm that day,which led t my nt ging fr ne week.One week ended up becming 60 days withut my smartphne.
Here are three 33 I nticed and why yu may want t cnsider a smartphne detx(戒除期)yurself.
Yu’ll becme bred
While in line at a Starbucks,I nticed hw every individual had their head dwn,eyes fixed n their smartphne.With nthing t distract myself with during the waiting perid,I became bred,and my mind 34 thrugh all srts f tpics.
Bredm is 35 smething we avid at all csts.Hwever,bredm is the perfect way t make a(n) 36 n a business idea r prject.When yu enter a state f bredm,yu allw yur mind t relax and escape frm the realities f tday t the infinite 37 f tmrrw.
Yu’ll be able t dramatically reduce yur “wrk” hurs
A study fund that adults ages 18 t 33 38 their smartphnes 85 times a day,r nce every 10 minutes.
As I learned during my experiment,placing sme distance between myself and my device helped me fall int deep wrk mre easily.
By nt having my smartphne,my distractin time went dwn and thus my hurs f wrk were spent mre efficiently and effectively.On numerus ccasins,I fund myself 39 what t d with the afternn since I had already cmpleted my high-impact tasks fr the day.
Yur mental well-being will receive a bst(提高)
Obviusly,withut a cellphne,I experienced a lack f 40 news and cmments.While that helped cause a dramatic bst in my mental well-being,the biggest reasn fr it was truly cnnecting t peple.
Reading Cmprehensin Sectin A
Directins:Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill inn each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
As a child,what did yu want t be when yu grew up?If yu were like mst children,yu prbably let yur imaginatin run 41 .Maybe yu dreamed f flying int space r being a famus chef.Then perhaps ver the years,yur dreams became mre 42 .Or yu might have given up n sme altgether.
If that’s the case,then tday’s the day fr yu.January 13th is Make Yur Dreams Cme True Day.If yu’ve been 43 fulfilling yur dreams,this is the day t make a fresh start.
It’s imprtant t dream because dreams can give us the 44t succeed in life.Dreams inspire and mtivate us.The great thing abut dreams is that there’s n 45t accmplish them right away.They might take a few years r they might take a lifetime t 46.The imprtant thing is that yu’re 47wrking tward yur dream.And the best way t d that is by setting gals.
What is the 48 between a dream and a gal?It’s been said that dreams are the fimal destinatin;gals are the stps alng the way.
Dreams can be very 49 .But the steps yu take t reach them shuld be very 50 .Yur dreams state what yu want,but gals explain hw yu’ll get there.That makes gal setting a necessary step in 51 yur dreams.
Many successful peple have spken abut dreams.Frmer U.S. Secretary f State Clin Pwell stressed the 52 f wrking fr yur dreams. “A dream desn’t becme reality thrugh magic:it takes sweat, 53 and hared wrk.”Authr Les Brwn reminded us that dreams have n 54 limit.Yu are never t ld t set anther gal r t dream a new dream.
If yu’ve been dreaming abut ding smething fr years,start tday.Write dwn yur dream,and 55 yur gals.Then yu’ll be n yur way t making yur dreams cme true.
Sectin B
Directins:Read the fllwing three passages.Each passage is fllwed by several questins r unfinished statements.Fr each f them there are fur chices marked A,B,C and D.Chse the ne that fits best accrding t the infrmatin given in the passage yu have just read.
(A)
In 2008,smene,r perhaps a grup f peple,using the name Satshi Nakamt published a paper t an nline grup that discussed cryptgraphy(密码使用法),That paper described a prcess that wuld use cryptgraphy t create a secure electrnic cash system,nw knwn as a cryptcurrency(加密货币).Persn t persn payments culd be made nline using a shared netwrk f cmputers instead f a bank r ther financial institutin.Each deal culd happen very quickly.The shared netwrk f cmputers wuld als serve as the means t prve thse deals safely.Getting rid f the need fr a centralized banking system wuld pen up the pssibility fr anyne t becme part f the digital ecnmy.
Tday,there are well ver a thusand different cryptcurrencies.Mst are still trying t be feasible glbal payment systems like Bitcin.They are held back by prblems affecting the entire cryptcurrency industry.
One issue is weak security n cryptcurrency websites where users either stre their electrnic cash in virtual “wallets” r exchange ne kind f electrnic cash fr anther.In recent years,clever thieves have brken int many f these websites and stlen electrnic cash.The websites are struggling t prtect their users frm such thefts.
Anther prblem is the large number f fake crytcurrencies that are advertised n the internet.The advertisements invite internet users t visit websites ffering new cryptcurrencies.Many visitrs are persuaded by the websites t buy their cryptcurrencies using actual mney.Later,the websites disappear alng with the victims’ mney.Later,the websites disappear alng with the victims’ mney.In respnse t this prblem,cmpanies like Facebk and Ggle are limiting cryptcurrency advertising n their websites.
(B)
Prf f cncept
In 2015,Ggr brke nt the scene by releasing an electric scter called the Smartscter.Unlike mst electric scters.This ne wuldn’t need t be plugged in t recharge.Instead,users wuld stp by GStatins t exchange drained batteries fr fully charged nes.
Ggr was taking a risk.If peple were nt happy with the system f changing batteries the whle prject culd fail.They didn’t need t wrry,thugh.Only ne year later Ggr sld their 10,000th
Smartscter!
Setting the bar
Fast frward t 2019 and the release f the Series 3 Smartscter.Ggr scters are as ppular and revlutinary as ever.Their bright clrs are chsen by Beatrice Santiccili,a famus clr designer wh helped shape majr brands like Apple,Nike and Swatch.In additin t the scters’ bright clrs,plenty f cl accessries(配件)are available s yu can make yur scter yur wn.But mst imprtant f
all,Ggr cntinues t pave the way tward a future f respnsible energy cnsumptin.
Lking frward
Multiple cities and cuntries have cmmitted t making their transprtatin all-electric in the cming years,and Ggr is helping make that pssible.Ordered a package?Cmpanies like DHL and Taiwan Pst nw have fleets f Smartscters t make deliveries.Need a ride?Unlck a Ggr in Berlin,Paris r Madrid,thanks t scter sharing services.
The Smartscter is definitely ingenius,but there’s mre “At Ggr,I think the essential thing is that
we want t change hw peple use energy.And the Smartscter is nly the beginning.”says Hrace Luke,Ggr c-funder and CEO.This is where the GStatin cmes in.
Tmrrw’s energy
Gstatins are Al-equipped.They track battery health t maximize each battery’s life.They recharge batteries during ff-peak hurs t reduce strain n the city’s pwer grid(输电网).But they als learn when users usually visit and priritize supplying charged batteries at thse times.The fact f the matter is,cities are nly getting bigger.There are already dzens f megacities(特大城市)in the wrld,and there will nly be mre in the future.Ggr’s dream s the transfrmatin f megacities int smart cities,where pwer is plentiful and respnsible.They hpe t be a big part f that transfrmatin.
“Changing the wrld” might seem like an unrealistic gal.When faced with huge prblems such as air pllutin r energy shrtages,where d yu start?Tayuan-based Ggr believes yu start with a scter.

With s many investments required f us t succeed - time,resurces,talents,respnsibilities,even finances fr ur retirement - it’s easy t lse sight f the mst difficult investment f all t cmmit t urselves.
Getting t the pint where yu’re ready t start upgrading t yu 2.0 isn’t easy.But it desn’t mean drpping the ball everywhere else.It’s nt abut missins,but admissins.Cme clean with yurself t kick - start yur persnal grwth.
Unstuck starts with “u”
N ne purpsely chses t stp learning and grwing again,it just kind f happens in a lt f daily respnsibilities and life.And if it were easy t just kick it int gear(挡位)again,yu wuld have already dne it.But the truth is inescapable.If yu want t get ff that place t higher grund,it’s up t yu and nly yu.N ne will just hand yu a steady stream f pprtunities fr grwth.
Yu’ve been wrking in yur life,nt n it
Activity is ften cnfused with acceleratin(忙碌).I was guilty f this fr years in wrking place - staying always busy but nt admitting I was bred.I was lst in activity and nt stepping back t take time t questin what I wanted my life t be.Once I began wrking n my life - quitting crprate,becming an entrepreneur,restructuring t my life - I started grwing nce again.And I’ve never been happier.
Things aren’t happening t yu,they’re happening fr yu
A victim mentality(心态)is the enemy f persnal grwth.Lamenting ver everything that has gne wrng in yur life nly wastes energy frm wrking t make mre things g right.If yu want t kick-start grwth,yu must view setbacks as having a purpse,and then put them in their place.The past shuldn’t run r define yu - nly fuel yu.
The perfect time t start desn’t exist
I had s many things that had t be just right befre I culd make my lng-planned leap frm crprate.I’d tell myself, “I’d lve t g fr it right nw,but practically speaking.”Well,guess what?Practically is pisn.It’s the cnvenient excuse stpping yu frm what yu’re meant t becme.
It’s time t unplug thers’ pinins
Grw where yu want t grw.Learn what yu want t learn.Wherever yu are n the scale f what yu want t learn next - be it beginner r near-expert wn it,be prud f it.Pretenses are fr pretenders.Yu’re just trying t becme a better versin f yur genuine self.
Sectin C
Directins:Cmplete the fllwing passage by using the sentences in the bx.Each sentence can nly be used nce.Nte that there are w=tw sentences mre than yu need.
As 2019 draws t a clse,it can be helpful t think abut finishing what yu have started.With that in mind,here are sme thughts n finishing prjects and seasns well.
Finishing prjects
One step t finishing a prject cmes near the beginning:define what it means fr the prject t be finished.This culd mean getting an article published,submitting a reprt t yur bss r teacher,r creating designs fr a prduct. 67 .
In rder t finish prjects,yu must als plan ut the steps yu will take.Break yur big task int smaller nes,and give yurself a shrt-term deadline fr each f them. 68 .

Summary Writing
71.Directins:Read the fllwing passage.Summarize the main idea and the main pint(s) f the passage in n mre than 60 wrds.Use yur wn wrds as far as pssible.
Every culture has set rules abut hw peple shuld act.Patterns f gd behavir,r manners,shw respect and care fr thers.Yet the details f hw t express respect vary.
Greeting peple cheerfully is almst always cnsidered plite.But it’s mre imprtant in sme cultures than thers.Fr example,when yu enter a stre in France,yu shuld always greet the persn wrking there.Other cultures als value greeting peple.But f curse the greetings vary as peple speak different languages.
When I was grwing up in the United States,I nce participated in a perfrmance at my church.Afterward,smene gave me a cmpliment,but I felt like I had dne a bad jb.S I tried t refuse the cmpliment,saying, “N,I didn’t d that well.” My mther gt my attentin and tld me that was very rude.Later I learned that refusing a cmpliment is accepted and even apprved f in China.
Sme f the biggest cultural differences have t d with table manners.In Nrth America,it’s plite t eat as quietly as pssible.That means chewing with yur muth clsed and nt slurping(吃东西时发出的声音)yur sup.The same ges fr burping(打嗝).But in parts f Asia slurping shws that yu are enjying yur meal.And burping is a sign f being full and cntent.
There are als differences in hw peple eat acrss cultures.Fr example,in Nrth America and Eurpe peple use frks t bring fd t their muths.But in Thailand,a frk is nly used t push fd nt a spn.In India and the Middle East,peple eat with their hands.But eating with the left hand is frbidden.This is because the left hand is cnsidered unclean.
Yet there are als similar pints acrss cultures.Saying “please” and “thank yu,” fr example,is almst always plite.If yu shw appreciatin and try t fllw lcal custms,peple will generally respnd well.Shwing kindness can bring peple tgether,n matter what culture they cme frm.

In raising clever kids, there are exceptins. It's maltreatment that seems t fuel exceptinal achievement mre than anything. It's nt a gene that enables it-it's great difficulty.

That applies equally t prime ministers, American presidents, British business peple and exceptinal writers. These peple are driven by the pain f lss.
Of curse, exceptinal success des require exceptinally hard wrk. Staying cmfrtable is nt the way. It creates needy, hungry and lnely adults. Emtinal grief leads t exceptinal achievers.

If yu really care a lt abut having an exceptinal child, yu shuld ensure that yur children lve yu and yu lve them. By all means have ambitins fr them.
