【推荐1】HOW TO CREATE THE PERFECT ELEVATOR PITCH!
Have you ever had to give a quick description of yourself, your company or a product? What did you say?
So, let's look at how to create a good elevator pitch.
◆The first thing you need to do is attract the prospect's—a potential customer's—attention.
◆When people are listening, they're often just thinking about one thing: WIFFM—What Is In It For Me?

【推荐1】Recently, Australian scientists learned something unexpected about magpies ( a kind of bird ) when they tried to attach trackers to them to learn more about how far they flew and what they did during a normal day as they are concerned that magpies may have a hard time adjusting as the world warms up because of climate change.
It’s hard to find trackers that work well with small and middle-sized birds. The previous trackers were either too heavy or didn’t last long enough. The researchers tried a new tracker on the magpies. They were light and could be recharged (再充电) without wires (电线) while they were still on the birds. And to keep the trackers on the birds without causing flying problems, the researchers developed a special device to hold the tracker in place. It was strong, so it wouldn’t come off by accident. But it had a special release controlled by magnets (磁铁). This was meant to allow the scientists to free the birds from the device, without having to catch the birds again.
There was just one problem — the birds didn’t like the trackers. The researchers placed trackers on five magpies. But just ten minutes after setting up the last magpie, they noticed something unusual: an adult female magpie was helping another magpie get free from its device. By the third day, none of the birds had trackers anymore.
The scientists were disappointed about the trackers, but they realized that the magpies had taught them something else: that magpies are able and willing to help each other out. They don’t know how the magpies cracked the difficult problem of getting the device off. They also don’t know if it was just one magpie or several which removed them. However, the researchers are glad they’ve learned about the saving behavior of magpies and now they need to try again to figure out a good way to track these clever birds.
1. What is the second paragraph mainly about?| A．The introduction to the new tracker. | B．The design process of the new tracker. |
| C．The methods of powering the new tracker. | D．The significance of using the new tracker. |
| A．Ignored. | B．Corrected. | C．Approached. | D．Chose. |
| A．The trackers got out of order while working. |
| B．The scientists collected valuable reference data. |

【推荐2】We often ask these questions: Are African wild dogs really dogs? What’s the difference between African wild dogs and the dogs we know as pets? For one thing, African wild dogs, which live in Africa, only have four toes, while domestic(驯养的）dogs and wolves have five. But you won’t want to count for yourself, because they are truly wild animals.
“Wild dogs are not somebody’s domestic dogs that ran away and didn’t come back, although some people used to think that,” explains Dr. MeNutt, who studies these animals at Wild Dog Research Camp in the African country of Botswana. “They are actually Africa’s wolves, and just like wolves, and they do not make good pets. They need to be out in the wild doing what they are supposed to do — find the food they need to survive and feed their babies.” In fact, they travel so far that researchers have to use radio collars (颈圈) to keep track of them. The collars send out radio signals that tell people where the dogs are. No two wild dogs have the same pattern of coats, so it is easy to tell them apart.
African wild dogs are smart and sociable, like pet dogs. Adult wild dogs, male and female, are willing to take good care of young ones.
Millions of domestic dogs live on the planet, but there are probably fewer than 6000 African wild dogs left. Humans hunt them and farmers who don，t want them to go after cows and sheep poison them. Humans are also destroying the wild, natural habitat (栖息地) they need to survive in. Fortunately, today more farmers are finding other ways to protect their cows and sheep from African wild dogs instead of killing the animals.
1. In Dr. MeNutt’s view, African wild dogs ________.| A．can be trained as pet dogs |
| B．are a kind of wolves |
| C．actually are missing domestic dogs |
| D．generally are not used to living in groups |
| A．To tell African wild dogs apart from other dogs. |

【推荐3】It sounds like something out of Dr. Seuss, but artist Sam Van Aken is developing a tree that blooms(开花)in pink, purple and red in the spring-and that is capable of bearing 40 different kinds of fruit.
No, it's not genetic engineering. Van Aken, an associate professor in Syracuse University's art department, used an age-old technique called grafting(嫁接)to attach branches from 40 different kinds of stone fruit onto a single tree. But during the process of creation, he soon discovered that it was actually pretty hard to find so many distinct varieties of stone fruit in New York. "I realized the extend which we've created these massive monocultures(单种作物)." Most grocery stores and markets only sell a few varieties-and most of them are grown in California.
Van Aken believes our national security is dependent upon our fond security. Now that we have created these monocultures that only grow a few varieties of each crop, if something happens to just one of those varieties, it can have a dramatic impact upon our food supply. And the key to maintaining our food security is preserving our biodiversity.
100 years ago, there were far more varieties of fruit growing in the backyards of the Americans. Today, only a small part of those remain, and what is left is threatened by industrialization of agriculture, disease and climate change. Most of those threatened varieties were introduced to the US by immigrants. They cared for and cultivated them, and valued them so much that they saw them as a connection to their home. "More than just food, embedded in these fruit is our culture…In many ways these fruit is our story. And I was fortunate enough to learn about it through an artwork that I created entitled the "Tree of 40 Fruit'," Van Aken says.
1. What delayed Van Aken's work?| A．His lack of experience. |
| B．The shortage of fruit varieties. |
| C．The low demand of fruit markets. |
| D．The distance from New York to California. |
| A．Insecurity of food. |
| B．Decreasing sale of fruit. |
| C．Lange production of crops |
| D．Highly industrialized agriculture. |
| A．Carried. | B．Located. | C．Enhanced. | D．Applied. |
| A．The richness of food culture. |
| B．The threat of industrialization. |

【推荐1】Ask any group of teenagers in the UK what they most like to eat, and foods like pizzas, curries, pasta, burgers and chips are bound to get mentioned and many young people would probably also list hanging out at the local fast food restaurant as one of their favorite pastimes (消遣).
But what teenagers like to eat is not necessarily what they should be eating.According to the National and Nutrition Survey, far too many young people in the UK between the ages of 14 and 18 consume too much fat sugar and salt in their diet and take in too many calories. Meanwhile their intake of starchy carbohydrates (含大淀粉的碳水水化合物),fibre, iron, vitamins and calcium is too low.
For a growing body, eating foods containing plenty of calcium, such as milk, yoghurt and cheese, is particularly important as calcium is essential for the development of healthy, strong bones.Similarly. foods that are rich in iron are good for young, rapidly developing bodies, so red meat. bread, green vegetables, dried fruit and tonified（使增强体质的）breakfast cereals are also recommended.
It is during our teenage years that habits of lifestyle can become entrenched (根深蒂固的），so it is crucial (至关重要的）that voung people are educated about what foods are good for them.In 2005, in an attempt 10 change eating habits and open teenagers’ minds to new flavours and new tastes. celebrity chef Jamie Oliver launched a "Feed Me Better”campaign. As part of a television series Jamle School drivers. he worked with teachers and cooks in a number of schools across the UK to provide more healthy. rutritious school meal opt ions. Although there was initial resistance from sonic teenagers and parents. the campaign was generally hailed（把......誉为）as a huge success and helped to influence governmental policy on nutritional standards for school meals.
No one expects to end the teenage love affair with fast and junk food but. hopefully, if projects "Feed Me Better" and the government's own "Change for Life" campaign continue to give out the right messages, more young people will understand the importance of balancing occasional treats with healthier food options.
1. From the first two paragraphs we can know that.| A．British teenagers eat too much junk food |

【推荐2】Natural disasters take many different forms and can happen without warning. Earthquakes, floods, vol-canoes, droughts, typhoons, and hurricanes are all natural disasters.
The earthquake of 26 December 2004 resulted in one of the worst natural disasters in living memory. It was a massive underwater quake and occurred in the Indian Ocean. This caused a huge tsunami (海啸) to cross the Indian Ocean. It destroyed coastlines and communities and brought death and destruction to many people. The survivors needed fresh water, food and shelter as well as medical help. People from all over the world gave money to help the people survive.
The surface of the Earth has not always looked as it does today; it is moving continuously (although very slowly) and has done so for billions of years. This is one cause of earthquakes, when one section of the Earth crashes with another. Scientists can predict where this might happen and the area between plates is called a fault line. However, earthquakes do not always happen on fault lines, which is why they are so dangerous and unpredictable.
All the disasters are very dangerous and continue to kill thousands of people each year,but they are nowhere near the most dangerous disaster to ever happen on earth. One type of event in the earth’s history has regularly killed millions of beings: asteroid (小行星) impacts (撞击). About once every million years the Earth is hit by a piece of rock and ice from space large enough to cause massive destruction (including earthquakes, volcanoes and ice ages) and sometimes to kill entire species. Sixty-five million years ago more than half the earth’s species were killed by such a disaster,including all the dinosaurs (恐龙). Disasters on the Earth may seem dangerous, but the biggest threat to humans is likely to come from space.

【推荐3】Did you know that more than 40 percent of all deadly car accidents occur at night? A recent breakthrough eyeglass technology has made it safe to drive at night. I's almost like having “X-ray” eyesight while driving.
Spend money on your safety and peace of mind behind the wheel with a pair of these cutting-edge night driving glasses. Most car accidents that occur at night are mostly the result of poor visibility. Even with 60% less traffic on the road at night, accidents still happen due to blinding light and just overall bad driving visibility.
Imagine being able to clearly see what's in front of you and what's approaching, even if it's very dark and foggy. Once you start wearing ClearView night glasses, you'll feel much more confident and safe driving when it's getting dark. With ClearView you will notice an instant reduction in strong light from oncoming traffic and bright street lights.
This is because the special yellow lens tint(镜片色彩) can block strong blue light, and increase contrast( 对比). ClearView passes the global traffic light standard for safer sharper vision at night with flying colors.
You can start using ClearView at once even if you wear glasses. Simply place ClearView on top of your glasses and be amazed by the difference this technology makes!
Is it worth it? Absolutely! Keep a pair in each of your cars to make sure you have your glasses at hand when night comes. If you care about your family's safety then this is a no-brainer.
