Along the way, he is occupied in inking up something special but there is nothing. Suddenly there comes a loud splat（溅泼声）. Eventually, the man limps back in rags, assuming he must have misinterpreted the message. Therefore, he returns to the guru for a reason. He repeats his question to the gum, who again points silently in the same direction.‎ The man was obedient to walk off once more. This time the splat is deafening, and when the man crawls back, he is bloody, broken and angry, “I asked you which way was to success,” he screams at the guru,” I followed the direction you pointed to.

The physical book is so elegant that it disappears into the background and what remains is the author’s world.‎ Today, we, at Amazon, are excited to announce Mindle, a wireless, portable reading device with instant access to more than 90, 000 books, magazines and newspapers.‎ We’ve been working on Mindle for more than three years. Our top design goal was for Mindle to ‎ disappear in your hands―to get out of the way－so you can enjoy your reading, also wanted to go beyond the physical book. Mindle is wireless, so whether you’re lying in bed or riding a train, you can think of a book and have it in less than 60 seconds. No computer is needed－you do your reading directly from the device.‎ We chose the same wireless technology used in advanced mobile phones. But unlike phones there are no monthly wireless bills, no service or data plans, and no yearly contracts. There is no software to install. We want you to get lost in your reading and not in the technology.‎ Mindle uses a new kind of display called electronic paper. Sharp and natural with no strong light reading on Mindle is nothing like reading from a computer screen. Mindle weighs only 10. 3 ounces－less than a paperback. but can carry two hundred books.‎ Enjoy learning about Mindle and many thanks!‎ Jeff Bezos Founder CEO ‎25.

People with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor. Economists study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem.‎ As the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty line does, too. Therefore, even with today’s relatively high standard of living, about 10 percent of the people in the United States are below the poverty line. However, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of living. Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs.‎ For one thing, more than half of the poor people in the United States are not qualified to work. Over 40 percent of the poor people are children. By law, children less than 16 years old cannot work in many industries. A large number of poor people are old. Many companies do not hire people over 65 years old, the normal retirement age.‎ Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons: they are sick, they do not have any motivation, they have family problems, or they do not believe that they can find ‎ a job.‎ Other poor people look for a job, but cannot find one. Many poor adults never went to high school. Therefore, when they look for jobs, they have few skills that they can offer.‎ At the present time, the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways:‎ First, if the national economy grows, businesses and industries hire more workers. Some of the poor who are qualified to look for jobs may find employment. Then they will no longer below the poverty line.‎ Second, if society invests in the poor，the poor will become more productive.‎ If the government spends money on social programs, education and training for poor people, the poor will have the skills to offer. Then it is more probable that they can find jobs.‎ Finally, if the government distributes society’s income differently, it raises some poor people above the poverty line. The government collects taxes from the non-poor and gives money to the poor. These payments to the poor are called welfare.‎ Some economists are looking for better solutions to the poverty problem. However, at the present time, many people depend on welfare for a minimally acceptable standard of living.‎ ‎28. This passage is mainly about .‎ A. the poverty line B. how to look for jobs C. how to raise the standard of living D. the causes of poverty and solutions to the problem ‎29. If the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty line .‎ A. falls B. does not change C. rises D. changes at random ‎30. Which one is not the reason that poor adults do not look for jobs?‎ A. They are too sick to work. B. They have no motivation.‎ C. They family problems. D. They are too lazy to find jobs.‎ ‎31. The underlined word “distribute” means “ ”.‎ A. charge B. share C. receive D. deliver D According to the findings of a new study, telling kids they’re smart enhances the idea that intelligence is a genetic gift rather than a skill that ran he improved, and children who think their intelligence is fixer! are not likely to pay attention to mistakes and recover from them.‎ In the study publisher! online, researchers looked at 123 children who were about 7. The team assessed the children to determine whether they had a “growth mindset（思维定式）”. They asked the children to complete a fast-paced computer task while their brain activities were recorded. During the recording, researchers noted that brain activity stopped within a half-second after making a mistake. The larger the brain response was, the more the child focused on the error.‎ Based on the data they collected, the researchers concluded that children with a “growth mindset” were much more likely to have a larger brain response after making a mistake, and in turn were more likely to improve their performance by paying closer attention to the task after making an error.‎ For parents, the lessons are clear: for starters, don’t pay praises that suggest intelligence is fixed. If a child hands you an A test, don’t say “You are smart!” Instead say “Wow, that study really paid off!”‎ Second, focus on using errors to work together and learn. Many parents and teachers shy away from mentioning a child’s mistakes, telling them “It’s OK. You’ll get it next time.” without giving them the opportunity to figure out what went wrong. Instead, it’s better to tell the child that mistakes happen, and to pay attention and work to figure out where and how they made the mistake.‎ ‎32. What’s the resold of telling kids they’re clever?‎ A. They may think efforts are useful. B. They may be attentive to their mistakes.‎ ‎8. They may think they’re very clever. D. They may think intelligence is fixed at birth.‎ ‎33. How would children with a “growth mindset” react to their mistakes in the study?‎ A. They would be more careful to their mistakes and more likely to improve.‎ B. They had a smaller response and would pay no attention to their errors.‎ C. They would he less attentive to their errors and pay little attention to their mistakes.‎ D. They are more likely to have a larger brain response before making a mistake.‎ ‎34. What does the author advise the parents to do when their kids make mistakes?‎ A. Comfort the kids and stress the efforts they made.‎ B. Tell them it’s OK and they will get it next time.‎ C. Praise the progress they made but not their smartness.‎ D. Let the child think about what mistakes they made.‎ ‎35. What floes the passage mainly talk about?‎ A. Praise the children for their intelligence. B. How to Heal with kids’ performance at school.‎ C. Proper response to kids’ mistakes and progress. D.
