A
At one point in June last
year, Zeng Jiapeng was more than 10,000 yuan in
debt to a smart
phone app. The 23-year-
old Shanghai citizen pays for his online purchases
of food, clothes, and
travel with
Huabei, a virtual credit card that's part of
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.’s spreading stable
of e-commerce. His spending often used
to go beyond his only source of income: the
8,000-yuan
monthly allowance from his
parents. He tried to repay the debt in
installments(
分期
), even
borrowing from Jiebei, another Alibaba-
owned credit service, but eventually his mother
and father
had to help him out.
Zeng’s story is typical of members of
China’ Generation Z. These young consumers, born
from
the mid-1990s to the early 2000s,
have little income and therefore actually no
credit history. Yet they
have easy
access to credit from an assortment of banks,
financial-tech companies, and peer-to-peer
(P2P)
Lenders(
网络借贷平台
), plus other
channels that are unregulated. The spending habits
of the
young in particular are causing
concern. In some cases the younger generation is
being tempted to
overconsume via credit
secured through technology. Unsecured consumer
lending has expanded
20% a year in
China since 2008. The amount of consumer finance
available through the Internet will
more than double, to 19 trillion yuan,
by 2021, from 7.8 trillion yuan last year.
Official data showed
that almost 70% of
China’s 50 million P2P borrowers were younger than
40.
As for Zeng, he’s trying
to be a little mor
e frugal, even though
he is now trying to earn a little
by
himself. “I deliberately set the credit limit at a
lower level,” he says, “so that hopefully I can
better match my income with
spending.”
Regulators(
监管部门
)last year launched a
breakdown on peer-to-peer lending, which, besides
being a source of easy credit, had also
become a popular investment vehicle. The sector
has shrunk
to less than half its peak
size as a result of forced shutdowns.
1. What can we learn about
Zeng Jiapeng from the first paragraph?
A. He was in debt because he bought
smart phone app.
B. He likes purchasing
goods on the app Huabei of Alibaba Group.
C. He always spent more than he earned
from his salary in the past.
D. He
depended on his parents to support him to repay
his debt.
2. W
hat does the
underlined word “frugal” in Paragraph 3 probably
mean?
A. Impractical
C. Avoiding waste
3. Which
of the following can be the best title?
A. Overconsumption-A Bad Habit

C. Chinese Youth In

At the World Economic
Forum last month, President Trump drew claps when
he announced the
United States would
respond to the forum's proposal to plant one
trillion(
万亿
) trees to fight
climate
change. The trillion-tree idea
won wide attention last summer after a study
published in the journal
Science
concluded that planting so many trees was “the
most effective climate change solution to
date”.
If only it
were true. But it isn't. Planting trees would slow
down the planet's warming, but the
only
thing that will save us and future generations
from paying a huge price in dollars, lives and
damage to nature is rapid and
considerable reductions in carbon release from
fossil fuels, to net zero
by 2050.
Focusing on trees as the big solution
to climate change is a dangerous
diversion(
偏离
). Worse
still, it takes attention away from
those responsible for the carbon release that are
pushing us toward
disaster. For
example, in the Netherlands, you can pay Shell an
additional 1 euro cent for each liter
of regular gasoline you put in your
tank, to plant trees to balance the carbon release
from your
driving. That's clearly no
more than disaster slightly delayed. The only way
to stop this planet from
overheating is
through political, economic, technological and
social solutions that end the use of
fossil fuels.
There is no
way that planting trees, even across a global area
the size of the United States, can
absorb the huge amounts of fossil
carbon released from industrial societies. Trees
do take up carbon
from the atmosphere
as they grow. But this uptake merely replaces
carbon lost when forests were
cleared
in the first place, usually long ago. Regrowing
forests where they once grew can undo some
damage done in the past, but even a
trillion trees can't store enough carbon to head
off dramatic
climate changes this
century.
journal in October
that the study's findings were inconsistent with
the dynamics of the global carbon
cycle. He warne
d that “the
claim that global tree
restoration(
复原
) is our most
effective climate
solution is simply
scientifically incorrect and dangerously
misleading”.

Artists always treat businessmen as
money-obsessed bores. Or worse, many businessmen,
for
their part, assume that artists
usually consider themselves to be more intelligent
than others. Bosses
may stick a few
modern paintings on their office walls. But they
seldom take the arts seriously as a
source of inspiration.
The
prejudice starts at business school, where “hard”
things such as numbers rule. It is
reinforced by everyday experience.
Bosses constantly remind their employees that if
you can’t
cou
nt it, it doesn’t count.
Few read deeply about the arts. Sun Tzu’s The Art
of War does not count
while some
tasteless business books are pleasing to them:
consider Wess Roberts’ Leadership
Secrets of Attila the Hun.
But lately there are welcome signs of a
thaw (
缓和
) on the business
side of the great cultural
divide.
Business presses are publishing a series of books
such as The Fine Art of Success by Jamie
Anderson. Business schools such as the
Roman School of Management at the University of
Toronto
are trying to learn from the
arts.
Mr. Anderson points out that many
artists have also been superb businessmen. Damien
Hirst
has been one of the most
enterprising. He upturned the art world by selling
his work directly through
Sotheby’s, an
auction (
拍卖
) house. Whatever
they think of his work, businessmen cannot help
admiring a man who parted art lovers
from ?
75.5 million on the day that
Lehman Brothers
collapsed.
Studying the arts can help businessmen
communicate more effectively. Most bosses spend a
huge amount of
time
“messaging” and “reaching out”, yet few are good
at it.
Studying the arts can
also help companies learn how to manage bright
people. Rob Goffee of
the London
Business School points out that today’s most
productive companies are dominated by
what they
call “clevers”,
who are very hard to manage. They hate being told
what to do by mangers,
whom they regard
as being stupid. They refuse to submit to
performance reviews. In short, they are
prima donnas. The art world has
centuries of experience in managing such difficult
people.
Directors persuade actresses to
cooperate with actors they hate. Their tips might
be worth hearing.
8.
What
kind of person is Damien Hirst actually?
A.
An artist whose works
changed the art world.
B.
A
businessman who just cares about money.
C.
An artist who is good at
doing business.
D.
A
businessman who had prejudice toward the arts.
9.
The underlined words
“prima donnas” probably refer to those who are
________.
A.
quite stupid
C.
really bright
10.
What does the author mainly discuss in
the text?
A.
Good management
takes skill and patience.
B.
rather proud
D.
very efficient
B.
Artists
should show respect for businessmen.
C.
Painting is a special form of
communication.
D.
Businessmen have much to learn from
artists.

Rejection

like not getting into your top college. Everyday
situations can lead to feelings of
rejection, too, like if your joke didn’t get a
laugh, if no one
remembered to save you
a seat at the lunch table, or if the person you
really like talks to everyone
but you.
Rejection hurts. But it’s impossible to avoid it
altogether. The only thing we should do is to
learn to handle it.
___11___
. So how can you
build that ability?
Be Honest About
Your Feelings
If you get rejected,
admit
how intense your feelings are.
Don’t try to brush off the hurt or
pretend it’s not painful. Then, move on
to name what you’re feeling. For example: “I feel
really
disappointed that I didn’t get
chosen for the school play. I wanted it so badly
and I tried
so hard. I
feel
left out because my friends made it and I didn’t.”

be careful to stick to the facts. Tell
yourself: “I got turned down for prom
because
the person didn’t want to go
with me.” Don't tell yourself: “I got turned down
because I’m not
attractive” or “I’m
such a loser.”
___13___
.
Next time, if put-down thoughts start creeping
into your
mind, shut them down.
___14___
A
rejection is chance to consider if there are
things we can work on. It’s OK to think about
whether there’s room for improvement or
if your goals were higher than your skills.
___15___
. But
if
you approach it right, it could help nudge you in
a direction that turns out to be the perfect fit
for
your talents, personality, and all
the really great things that make you who you are.
A
Acknowledging
feelings helps you move beyond painful emotions.
B.
This kind of thinking
crowds out hope and a belief in ourselves.
C.
Be Patient When Rejected.
D.
Dwelling on the negative
feelings can feel like living the experience over
and over again.
E.
Sometimes
a rejection is a harsh reality check.
.
When you are rejected, it’s
natural to wonder, “Why did this happen?” When you
give yourself
F.
The better we get at
dealing with rejection, the less it affects us.

Use Rejection to Your
Advantage.
