In 2016, when I was n the graduate scheme (计划) at Deutsche Bank, Marie Inafidn, chief executive f Stemettes, wh encurages girls t pursue careers in science, technlgy, engineering and maths (STEM), was als wrking there. I didn’t meet her at the time, but I did read an article abut her and her career.
Learning at 21 years ld abut the career f a yung black wman’s succeeding in a traditinally white male-dminated industry was ne f the mst influential things that ever happened t me. It gave me cnfidence that it was pssible t d well in the ffice and wrk n 该试卷源自 每日更新,享更低价下载。persnal external prject at the same time.
Rle mdels can play a central rle in shaping a yung prfessinal’s career. They are especially imprtant if yu belng t an under-represented grup fr whm a lack f representatin in the wrkplace can lead t feeling islated and lacking in cnfidence. They can help thse just starting ut, whether r nt they are a graduate as I was, t believe in their wn abilities.
There’s a grwing need t have accessible rle mdels. Given the tendency t exaggerate (夸大) success stries, hearing frm wmen wh talk hnestly abut the challenges they have faced, either when starting a business r frming a new career path, is much mre effective. A study revealed that 70 per cent f girls say they think differently abut their futures after hearing frm wmen rle mdels.
I’m frequently asked abut what businesses culd be ding t increase racial diversity in the wrkplace. A gd starting pint is t actively prmte and supprt the vices f the peple in the rganisatin that are leading psitive change and inspiring thers. This makes a real difference. Unlike the tkenism (装样子) I still cme acrss, which results in individuals being made the lne representative fr a grup withut real supprt frm the rganisatin.
Things came full circle fr me when I interviewed Ms. Inafidn fr my bk in 2019. I was able t tell her f the incredible impact her passin and cnfidence had had n me as a graduate trainee and hw grateful I wuld always be fr that.

Reading can be a scial activity. Think f the peple wh belng t bk grups. They chse bks t read and then meet t discuss them. Nw, the website Bk Crssing.cm turns the page n the traditinal idea f a bk grup.
Members g n the site and register (登记) the bks they wn and wuld like t share. Bk Crssing prvides an identificatin number (识别码) t stick inside the bk. Then the persn leaves it in a public place, hping that the bk will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader wh finds it.
Bruce Pedersn, the managing directr f Bk Crssing, says, “The tw things that change yur life are the peple yu meet and bks yu read. Bk Crssing cmbines bth.”
Members leave bks n park benches and buses, in train statins and cffee shps. Whever finds their bk will g t the site and recrd where they fund it.
Peple wh find a bk can als leave a jurnal entry describing what they thught f it. E— mails are then sent t the BkCrssers t keep them updated abut where their bks have been fund. Bruce Pedersn says the idea is fr peple nt t be selfish by keeping a bk t gather dust n a shelf at hme.
Bk Crssing is part f a trend (趋势) amng peple wh want t get back t the “real” and nt the virtual (虚拟).The site nw has mre than ne millin members in mre than ne hundred thirty—five cuntries.

Culd yu manage withut the internet fr fur and a half years? That’s exactly what the actress Selena Gmez has dne in a bid t imprve her mental health.
She has spken extensively abut the relatinship between her scial media usage and mental well-being, recalling feeling like “an addict” as t becming Instagram’s mst fllwed user in 2016. “Indeed, I regret quitting frm scial media that late”, says she. “The unnecessary hate and cmparisns went away nce I put my phne dwn.”
Hwever, the increasing digitizatin (数字化) means that everything frm paying a bill t even making a phne call is at the mercy f the internet. Actively pting (选择) ut f the internet becmes a matter f privilege. Ms Gmez’s multi-millinaire status has allwed her t take the “scial” ut f scial media. The fact that she’s still the secnd mst-fllwed wman n Instagram suggests it’s entirely pssible t maintain a significant web prfile t prmte varius prjects by way f a dedicated team — withut being expsed t the cruel cmments.

Greater resurces and initiatives are needed t prvide the underprivileged with the cnnectivity they desperately need t learn, wrk and live. It’s crucial that peple feeling scial media is harmful t their mental health are allwed t switch ff and fr thse living in digital exclusin t be able t switch n primarily.
12. What d we learn abut the actress Selena Gmez in the past fur and a half years?
A.She has withdrawn frm scial media.
B.She has wn Instagram’s mst fllwers.
C.She has had wrsening mental prblems.
D.She has succeeded in a bid n the internet.
13. Why des actively pting ut f using the internet becme a matter f privilege?

“Judy, hurry up! Let’s g t the beach!” That was a familiar mrning call frm my lder brther, Sirin. Hearing that, I wuld spring up quickly and we wuld set ff n ur jurney. Raised by ur grandparents in Savanna, we experienced ur happiest mments there. Nestled between the muntains and the sea, with its lush green trees, crystal-like cean, and clear blue sky, Savanna was like a small village frm a fairy tale.
Sirin and I ften enjyed the gentle sea breeze as we explred the breathtaking cast, with the endless, pen water beside us and the vast, clear sky verhead. We felt a sense f freedm t wander the sandy beach r experience the excitement f sailing ut t sea, delighting in the awe-inspiring beauty f nature’s wnders. When we grew tired, leisurely walking n the sft, warm sands t cllect unique, fascinating seashells brught us a different kind f peaceful jy. The friendly, warmhearted villagers treated us like family, ften sharing their freshly-caught seafd with us.
Three years later, we were taken away frm the village t receive a better educatin by ur parents. Occupied with ur study, we rarely visited ur belved grandparents, nly calling them ccasinally. We gradually adapted t the fast-paced city life and fund it mre efficient and cnvenient. Whenever we had an appetite fr seafd, ur dad wuld simply rder it thrugh his phne, and it wuld be delivered t ur drstep within minutes. In additin t seafd, we culd rder anything ur hearts desired, n matter hw late it was. What we lved mst was the cnvenience f nt needing t wash the dishes after eating, as they were all dispsable, designed fr single use.
Hwever, deep within us, we smetimes lnged fr the simple pleasures f village life. We were tld by ur grandparents that mre and mre turists flded int the village, which strengthened ur desire t return. S, when the eagerly-awaited summer vacatin arrived this year, we finally made ur dream trip back t ur childhd paradise. After greeting ur grandparents with hugs and smiles, we eagerly headed twards the sun-kissed seaside t relive ur cherished memries.
