recently asked me when i became more confident about my abilities as an entrepreneur. i thought it was a funny question, _36_ i not very confident at all, and constantly filled with _37_ about every decision i make.it doesnt exactly hold me back in my work; its just that i am very _38_ of what i do, and im always _39_ on the way i work, think and talk. i have also learned over the years that making a decision is often more important than making the _40_ decision. preferably your decisions are the right ones, but inaction or indecisiveness is more _41_ than making the wrong decisions every now and then.there is one thing i have learned over the years that i wish i had learned earlier in my career. and that is the _42_ that i am not stupid.it sounds logical, but i often sat in on meetings and heard people explain things and then _43_ to myself, “ i dont understand that. maybe im stupid?” or i would hear about a startup and i wouldnt _44_ their business model and think im stupid. or i would hear an entrepreneur speak and think, “ that all like _45_ bullshit, but i must be stupid, because other people seem to love it.”a couple of years ago, i came to the _46_ that i was not stupid at all. when people in meetings say things i dont understand i _47_ up and tell them so. usually, i hear a sigh of _48_ in the room and find out nobody understood what was being talked about.when i dont understand a business model it usually means there is not one, or it _49_. turns out im not stupid and _50_ i dont understand it, most people wont understand it at all. _51_ doubting my own abilities ive learned to _52_ my “bullshit radar” a bit more and not understanding something is a clear sign that something is _53_.my advice to young entrepreneurs is this: you are not stupid! if something does not make _54_, if it sounds stupid, if you dont understand it, something is wrong! trust your gut( 本能的) _55_. feel free not to know and be honest when you dont understand something!36. a. if b. unless c. because d. when37. a. disappointment b. doubt c. terror d. curiosity38. a. conscious b. tired c. ashamed d. fond 39. a. insisting b. working c. relying d.

front of us, which of them will we trust?according to a new study in the online plos one, people make their decisions to trust others largely based on their faces. your appearance can do a lot for you, especially if you are in the financial industry. the more trustworthy you look, the more likely people will buy what youre selling.researchers from britains university of warwick business school, university college london, and dartmouth college, us, did a number of experiments.the research team used computer software to make 40 faces, from the least to the most trustworthy-looking.the study said that the difference between a trustworthy face and one that isnt as trustworthy comes from features that look slightly angry or slightly happy, even when the face is at rest. however, a slightly happy face is more likely to be trusted.researchers gave participants some money and asked them which face they trusted to invest the money for them. then researchers gave some good and bad information about the people with these faces, and asked the participants again whom they trusted.the results showed that even if they got different information, the participants didnt change their choices. they were still more likely to invest their money with the more trustworthy-looking faces.chris olivola, one of the studys authors, said in the university of warwicks press release: “it seems we are still willing to go with our own instincts about whether we think someone looks like we can trust them. the temptation to judge strangers by their faces is hard to resist.”56. which of the following can be a proper title for this passage?a. what kind of face do you trust?b. who did the experiments?c. why do you trust him or her?d. why did they do the experiments?57. according to the study, which of the following faces is most likely to be trusted?a. a sad face.b. a smiling face.c. a crying face.d. an angry face.58. which of the following about the experiment is true?a. the trustworthy faces were given good information.b. researchers took photos of the 40 peoples faces in college.c. most participants gave their money to the trustworthy-looking faces.d. participants liked to choose the faces with good information.bapple storedescriptiontap the apple store app on your iphone or ipod touch, and you can do all things apple. buy apple products and accessories (配件) and read

drastic alteration in our physical reality or as a simple synchronicity in our lives. sometimes theyre big and cant be missed other times theyre so subtle that if we arent aware， we may miss them altogether. they can come from the lips of a stranger we suddenly and mysteriously encounter at just the right instant. if we listen carefully, well always hear the right words，at the right time， to dazzle us into a realization of something that we may have failed to notice only moments before.on a cold january afternoon in 1989，i was hiking up the trail that leads to the top of egypts mt. horeb. id spent the day at st. catherines monastery and wanted to get to the peak by sunset to see the valley below. as i was winding up the narrow path，id occasionally see other hikers who were coming down from a day on the mountain. while they would generally pass with simply a nod or a greeting in another language，there was one man that day who did neither.i saw him coming from the last switchback on the trail that led to the backside of the mountain. as he got closer，i could see that he was dressed differently from the other hikers id seen. rather than the high-tech fabrics and styles that had been the norm，this man was wearing traditional egyptian clothing. he wore a tattered， rust-colored galabia and obviously old and thick-soled sandals that were covered in dust. what made his appearance so odd，though，was that the man didnt even appear to be egyptian！ he was a small-framed asian man, had very little hair，and was wearing round，wire-rimmed glasses.as we neared one another，i was the first to speak.“hello，”i said，stopping on the trail for a moment to catch my breath. not a sound came from the man as he walked closer. i thought that maybe he hadnt heard me or the wind had carried my voice away from him in another direction. suddenly he stopped directly in front of me on the high side of the trail， looked up from the ground， and spoke a single sentence to me in english，“sometimes you dont know what you have lost until youve lost it.”as i took in what i had just heard，he simply stepped around me and continued his descent down the trail.that moment in my life was a small miracle. the reason is less about what the man said and more about the timing and the context. the year was 1989，and the cold war was drawing to a close. what the man on the trail couldnt have known is that it was during my egyptian pilgrimage， and specifically during my hike to the top of mosess mountain，that id set the time aside to make decisions that would affect my career in the defense industry，my friends，my family，and，ultimately，my life.i had to ask myself what the chances were of an asian man dressed in an egyptian galabia coming down from the top of this historic mountain just when i was walking up，stopping before me，and offering his wisdom，seemingly from out of nowhere. my answer to my own question was easy： the odds were slim to none！ in an encounter that lasted less than two minutes on a mountain halfway around the world from my home， a total stranger had brought clarity， and the hint of a warning， regarding the huge changes that i would make within a matter of day
