But things were even harder for Srikanth Bolla who was born in a small village in India, where the common belief was that kids with disabilities were “of no use”and therefore, better off dead. Fortunately, Srikanths parents loved their son and refused to give him up. Instead, they encouraged the blind boy to dream big and reach for the star. Srikanth did not disappoint his parents. The now twenty-four-year-old is the founder CEO of Bollant Industries. Of course, gelling here was not easy. Being both blind and poor meant that Srikanth had to face hard challenges.

As a result, the young boy was largely ignored and often spent the entire day alone.

For just four years, it has become a powerhouse with over 450 employees, 70% of whom are physically challenged.

( DST), which means you can enjoy an extra hour of sleep by simply turning hark the clocks by an hour.Increasing the length of the day was first suggested by Benjamin Franklin in 1784. However, he was not serious when he mentioned it in a Idler to the editor of the Journal of Paris, as a way to savecandles. When New Zealand scientist George Hudson put forward the idea in 1895, he was hoping for two additional hours of daylight in the spring to do his favorite-studying insects. Unfortunately, his suggestion fell on deaf ears, as did British William Willetts when he came up with it in 1907 as a way to save electricity. It was not until April 1916 that Germany began DST to reduce the use of artificial light and save fuel. Then the US, Britain, and a few other countries followed shortly after. However, losing and gaining the hour does bring some unintended(意外的）results. The end of DST can change the birth order of twins born around 2:00 am. For example, if the first twin baby is born at 1:45 am and the second one, twenty minutes later al 2:05 am, given that according to the changed clock, the time would be 1:05 am. Train schedules also get affected by this change. Passengers traveling ovemight this weekend will have to endure(忍受)an extra hour of (ravel time because the trains come to a standstill between 2:00 am ami 3：00 am to stay on schedule. Fortunately T airplanes do notobserve the same routine(惯例）! Also, many believe the time change has a bad effect on peoples health. However,lawmakers are unwilling to change because the extra playtime afforded by the longer days following the Spring DST earns the state $24 million.9. When was increasing the length of the day first put forward?A. In the 17th century.B. In the 18th century.C. In the 19th century.D.In the 20th century.10.What might the end of DST bring?A.Trains will travel much faster.B. Flights will take off an hour late.C. The birth order of twins might be changed.D. People must go to work an hour earlier.11.What is the advantage of DST?A. It can save people s time.B. It is good for peoples health.C. It can increase people s sleep time.D.It can increase the countrys income.D Yuoki, a restaurant in Germany, is not your everyday all-you-can-eat buffet (自助餐）. For starters, there isnt an actual buffet to fill your plale at. Instead, customers are seated at a table and provided with iPads which they can use to order up to five small dishes every ten minutes. They can eat as much as they want for 120 minutes, but having the food served at short intervals (间隔)allows diners to constantly assess how hungry they are and order accordingly, preventing food waste. Also, the owner, Luan Guoyu, believesoureyesare bigger than our stomach, so not being able to see the cooked foodat the buffetprevents people from ordering more food than they can actually eat. But Luan Guoyus most effective way of fighting food waste,and theonethat has attracted media attention, is his 1 ( $1.15)fine for food still left on the plate. “Its called all-you-can-eat” he says, adding that the extra charge is not meant to increase his income,but to act as a warning against wasting food. Luan Guoyus system is unique in the state of Baden-Wurttemberg, but not in Germany.Okinii, a Japanese-style restaurant in Dusseldorf, has also been charging customer, the same 1 tax for unfinished food on their plates since 2013. With so many people living on the edge of s.anation, and food waste becoming a serious problem in developed countries, it will be interesting to see if more restaurants will start carrying out the“eat up or pay up”policy. Even if they give the money from this fine to charity, it would still help them to save money in dealing with waste, so its a win for everyone.12. What does the underlined word “assess” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Doubt.B.Realize.C. Judge.D.Compare.13. What will Luan Guoyu do when people cant finish the food on their plates?A. He will charge them extra money.B. He will advise them to eat up the food.C. He will ask them to take the food away.D. He will warn them to order less food next time.14. What is the text mainly about?A. Various German restaurants.B. The seriousness of food waste.C. Secrets of managing a restaurant.D. Special ways to fight food waste.15. What does the author think of the “eat up or pay up” policy?A. Unfair. B. Funny.C. Reasonable.D. Doubtful.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Become More Confident Confidence is something inside, which means you can get it whenever you want to just by thinking about the world in a different way. _16 Everyone feels nervous.
