1 . Many people spend weekends doing meaningless things, which is a complete waste of our life. However, successful people make the best use of their weekends differently. Here are some things they may choose to do.

●     1    

Successful people don't go into the weekend with no plan.     2     It might be a little more loosely scheduled than a usual Tuesday, but with only so many hours in a week, successful people know they have to use all the free time they can get to finish tasks they need to.

●Get up early.

Of course, it feels good to sleep in. However, it's actually quite refreshing (使人精力充沛的) to get up and move early on days when you don't have to get up early.     3     It will leave them feeling more refreshed than just wasting two or three hours lying in bed staring at the wall.

●Put the phone aside.

In today's busy world, most of us never truly leave work. Our phones are likely connected to our emails and Twitter accounts, meaning we may deal with a work-related task even after 5 p. m.     4     They go fishing or hiking or do something without their phones in their pockets.

●Follow hobbies.

    5     They know they'll never get that time back. Even if their hobbies require hard work, they'll still be relaxed and comfortable while working on them if they're fond of them.

A．Make a plan.

B．Prepare for the week carefully.

C．But successful people need time to let work go.

D．The weekend is the perfect time to make up for it.

E．They plan their day out just as they would on any other day.

F．Successful people start their Saturday off by hitting the gym or reading a book.

G．Successful people use every minute of their free time to do something they love.

5 . The issue of how to feed a growing population is a crucial issue for the 21st century. The issue was high on the agenda (当务之急) at the recent United Nations Climate Change Conference in Egypt. According to the UN, by 2050, we will need to produce 60% more food to feed a world population of 9.3 billion.

Cambridge Judge Business School supports a number of businesses which aim to promote sustainable agriculture practices. One of the most important fields is precision (精准) agriculture, the science of improving crop yields and assisting management decisions using the latest technology. Outfield Technologies is targeted at high value fruit farming. Farmers buy their own drones (无人机), and then the Outfield software creates flight plans over the farm and processes the images taken by the drones.

By counting the fruit on branches and measuring trees, farmers can see where to apply fertiliser with greater precision, reducing usage and improving soil sustainability. Outfield’s software can also recommend where to start harvesting to reduce waste and labour costs. The rising cost of labour globally has become a huge issue within the agricultural industry, for reasons including the shortage of backpackers (some of whom become seasonal workers) in New Zealand, and the rise of minimum pay in South Africa.

The data gathered by drones can also predict yields. “Priming” the supply chain ensures a smoother journey from the farm to fruit bowl in your home. When an apple is picked, it is stored in a refrigerated environment for up to six months before being transported to a pack house to be washed, sorted, packaged, before being moved to a delivery centre and finally appearing on supermarket shelves. The chain depends heavily on transportation, but by predicting yields, Outfield aims to reduce waste as traders can predict fruit levels and reduce greenhouse gases caused by refrigerated storage.

Outfield co-founder Oil Hilbourne said, “The agricultural industry needs more investment to change. More money for 5G, education and investment in start-ups.”

3. By gathering data by drone, the Outfield tries to_________.
