Kathy Jhnstn is s in lve with chclate; she lies awake at night thinking abut it. But as chief chclate fficer f Dubai-based chclatier Mirzam, that’s a healthy fcus t have.
Like many ther gds, mst f Dubai’s chclate has traditinally been imprted, but Mirzam develps hme-grwn alternative. Jhnstn jined Mirzam in early 2016 after meeting the cmpany’s funders, wh persuaded her t wrk fr them, rather than chasing her riginal dream f mving t Switzerland, chclate capital f the wrld.
At first, the cmpany’s plan was t mainly exprt its fferings t the U.S. while slwly building a market in the United Arab Emirates (阿联酋). But lcals quickly accept the cmpany’s unique chclates, which are knwn fr their Emirati flavrs and spices (香料) such as cardamm, almnds and pistachis. That Mirzam wrks with lcal artists fr its branding and packaging further strengthens its hmetwn reputatin. Nearly as sn as Mirzam’s team pened their drs fr tastings, the cmpany sld ut all its stck. “We didn’t expect such a strng respnse lcally,” Jhnstn says. “We had n time t think abut exprt.”
Brn in New Zealand, Jhnstn mved t Dubai when she was 3 years ld. Her lve f chclate ges all the way back t her childhd, when she wuld build ladders ut f kitchen chairs t get her mther’s hidden chclates. She recalls telling her grandfather that her dream was t have her wn chclate factry.
That dream has cme true at Mirzam, where Jhnstn versees everything frm surcing t prductin, packaging, and sales. But her true passin is cming up with innvative new sweets, with a fcus n integrating traditinal Emirati recipes int the cmpany’s fferings.
Recipes like thse have helped Mirzam grw at an amazing pace—it had dubled its prductin capacity every year since pening and increased its staff frm ne t 75 in five years. Nw, Mirzam is still wrking n “prducing amazing-quality chclate,” Jhnstn says.
4. Why didn’t Jhnstn mve t Switzerland?

B She has a dream t imprt chclate.
C. She was attracted by the chclate capital.
D. She was cnvinced by a chclate cmpany.
5. What make the cmpany’s chclates s ppular?

C. Imprted surces f high quality.D. Strng respnses t the lcal market.
6. What can we learn abut Jhnstn frm the text?

B. She wed her dream t her grandfather.
C. She wrks n pening verseas markets.
D. She takes pleasure in develping new prducts.
7. What can be a suitable title fr the text?

Paisley is a distinctive pattern used t decrate fabrics and make cuntless clthes lively. This pattern als has a uniquely rich histry dating back hundreds f years, spreading acrss multiple cntinents.
Paisley's mst bvius feature is the large swshing (涡旋) shapes called bteh. Many experts believe the shape is actually an artistically designed tree, which was a pwerful religius symbl in India fr thusands f years. Besides, the pattern culd als represent flwers, the sun, a phenix, r even an eagle. The exact meaning is lst t histry, even thugh the pattern lives n.
The pattern eventually made its way t the Western wrld in the 18th and 19th centuries, when it became the height f fashin fr the time. Silk scarves bearing the pattern culd be as expensive as a small huse. Owing t its ppularity, especially in Great Britain, it was quickly duplicated and mass-prduced. One f the majr manufacturing centers f the pattern was Paisley. Sctland, which is hw the pattern gt its English name.
In the early 20th century, the ppularity f the pattern faded fr a time. Eventually, it explded back nt the fashin scene with the help f a surprising frce: rck 'n' rll. It started in the 1960s with the Beatles, wh nt nly wre paisley but used patterns in clrful artwrk. Other rck legends like the Rlling Stnes, Janice Jplin, and David Bwie kept the trend ging well int the 1970s. Paisley was suddenly cl and glamrus again, at least temprarily.
Since then, hwever, the ppularity f the pattern has slwly declined. It still pps up n fashin runways and as a clrful accessry (配饰) fr sme clthes, but paisley is just ne f many elegant patterns. Nevertheless, that desn't mean it wn't make a cmeback again.

C. They helped paisley regain its ppularity.
D. They lked extremely cl and glamrus.
11. What can be cncluded abut paisley frm the text?
A. It wn't withdraw entirely frm the fashin wrld.

C. It has been regarded as a typical representative f pp culture.
D. It demnstrates the clse cnnectin between religin and fashin.

Recently I had the pprtunity t recnnect with an ld friend, Chris Besse. One f the things I always admired abut Chris was the way that he saw educatin as a missin, nt a jb. Chris called me last week t tell me he is CEO f a cmpany called EdgeMakers, which is a new cmpany that is bringing ne f the missing ingredients(要素)t educatin: innvatin.
I am always calling fr changes in the way we educate ur children. It is imprtant that we prepare ur children fr a different ecnmy and a different wrld. Emplyers f the future will demand creativity frm their emplyees.
A tech cmpany wned by a friend f mine has grwn frm a handful f emplyees t ver 100 in the last seven years, and he still has 90 percent f all the emplyees he hired. He desn’t pay mre than ther tech firms. He desn’t have a Disney-like campus. What he des is pse interesting prblems, nt get invlved in the slutins and allw emplyees t get t the slutin in any way they want. His emplyees stay because they are mtivated and interested.
This is the definitin f mdern industry and in many ways, the future f educatin. Successful emplyers nw encurage innvatin. Schls shuld create an innvative envirnment. But it appears that ur current educatin system has a lng way t g t achieve this.
The gd news is that sme schls are making changes. Califrnia and Texas just apprved EdgeMakers’ curses fr use in their high schls. Accrding t Jhn Ka, funder f EdgeMakers, “Creativity is inside every student, waiting t be freed. But withut intentinal prgrams in ur schls, creativity is underdevelped. We cannt allw this t cntinue, as ur sciety is faced with prblems that appear unslvable unless we innvate t find slutins. Our gal with these curses is t cmbine students’ natural creativity with purpse, helping them develp as innvatrs whse wrk is truly meaningful and makes a difference t issues that matter.”
12. What is the purpse f the first paragraph?
A. T remember a friend.B. T bring up a tpic.
C. T recmmend a curse.D. T explain a phenmenn.
13. What d the authr and Chris have similar views n?
A. The future f jb searching.B. The majr missin f their cmpany.
C. The rle f parents in kids’ develpment.D. The imprtance f innvatin in educatin.
14 Hw des the authr’s friend keep his emplyees?
A. By ffering high salaries.B. By prviding a cmfrtable wrkplace.
C. By creating an envirnment f innvatin.D. By helping them slve prblems.
15. Which statement will Jhn Ka agree with?

Kathy Jhnstn is s in lve with chclate; she lies awake at night thinking abut it. But as chief chclate fficer f Dubai-based chclatier Mirzam, that’s a healthy fcus t have.
Like many ther gds, mst f Dubai’s chclate has traditinally been imprted, but Mirzam develps hme-grwn alternative. Jhnstn jined Mirzam in early 2016 after meeting the cmpany’s funders, wh persuaded her t wrk fr them, rather than chasing her riginal dream f mving t Switzerland, chclate capital f the wrld.
At first, the cmpany’s plan was t mainly exprt its fferings t the U.S. while slwly building a market in the United Arab Emirates (阿联酋). But lcals quickly accept the cmpany’s unique chclates, which are knwn fr their Emirati flavrs and spices (香料) such as cardamm, almnds and pistachis. That Mirzam wrks with lcal artists fr its branding and packaging further strengthens its hmetwn reputatin. Nearly as sn as Mirzam’s team pened their drs fr tastings, the cmpany sld ut all its stck. “We didn’t expect such a strng respnse lcally,” Jhnstn says. “We had n time t think abut exprt.”
Brn in New Zealand, Jhnstn mved t Dubai when she was 3 years ld. Her lve f chclate ges all the way back t her childhd, when she wuld build ladders ut f kitchen chairs t get her mther’s hidden chclates. She recalls telling her grandfather that her dream was t have her wn chclate factry.
That dream has cme true at Mirzam, where Jhnstn versees everything frm surcing t prductin, packaging, and sales. But her true passin is cming up with innvative new sweets, with a fcus n integrating traditinal Emirati recipes int the cmpany’s fferings.
Recipes like thse have helped Mirzam grw at an amazing pace—it had dubled its prductin capacity every year since pening and increased its staff frm ne t 75 in five years. Nw, Mirzam is still wrking n “prducing amazing-quality chclate,” Jhnstn says.

C. She was attracted by the chclate capital.
D. She was cnvinced by a chclate cmpany.

Paisley is a distinctive pattern used t decrate fabrics and make cuntless clthes lively. This pattern als has a uniquely rich histry dating back hundreds f years, spreading acrss multiple cntinents.
Paisley's mst bvius feature is the large swshing (涡旋) shapes called bteh.

Besides, the pattern culd als represent flwers, the sun, a phenix, r even an eagle. The exact meaning is lst t histry, even thugh the pattern lives n.
The pattern eventually made its way t the Western wrld in the 18th and 19th centuries, when it became the height f fashin fr the time.

In the early 20th century, the ppularity f the pattern faded fr a time. Eventually, it explded back nt the fashin scene with the help f a surprising frce: rck 'n' rll.

Recently I had the pprtunity t recnnect with an ld friend, Chris Besse. One f the things I always admired abut Chris was the way that he saw educatin as a missin, nt a jb. Chris called me last week t tell me he is CEO f a cmpany called EdgeMakers, which is a new cmpany that is bringing ne f the missing ingredients(要素)t educatin: innvatin.
I am always calling fr changes in the way we educate ur children. It is imprtant that we prepare ur children fr a different ecnmy and a different wrld. Emplyers f the future will demand creativity frm their emplyees.

This is the definitin f mdern industry and in many ways, the future f educatin. Successful emplyers nw encurage innvatin. Schls shuld create an innvative envirnment. But it appears that ur current educatin system has a lng way t g t achieve this.
The gd news is that sme schls are making changes. Califrnia and Texas just apprved EdgeMakers’ curses fr use in their high schls. Accrding t Jhn Ka, funder f EdgeMakers, “Creativity is inside every student, waiting t be freed. But withut intentinal prgrams in ur schls, creativity is underdevelped. We cannt allw this t cntinue, as ur sciety is faced with prblems that appear unslvable unless we innvate t find slutins. Our gal with these curses is t cmbine students’ natural creativity with purpse, helping them develp as innvatrs whse wrk is truly meaningful and makes a difference t issues that matter.”
