recently asked me when i became more confident about my abilities as an entrepreneur. i thought it was a funny question, _36_ im not very confident at all, and constantly filled with _37_ about every decision i make. it doesnt exactly hold me back in my work; it is 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 decision 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 would not _44_ their business model and think im stupid. or i would hear an entrepreneur speak and think, “that all _45_ like 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 do not underdstand it, something is wrong! trust your gut(本能的) _55_. feel free to not 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. fond39. a. insisting b. working c. relying d. reflecting40. a.

dinner might be just about our only daily opportunity to sit down together, catch up and eat a healthy meal, we tend to be too busy/stressed/tired (you can throw in a dozen other reasons) to cook ourselves. the kids are shrieking, everyone is starving and your fridge contains nothing but a few squishy squashes and a limp carrot. so what do we all do? we give up and give in to some awful food choices that someone in some far-off factory or fast-food restaurant cooked without one bit of love in their heart. and this is making us sick and fat and its killing us.why not try home cooked sundays? the idea is simple: use the one day of the week we do have time to cook - sundays. lets make it a fun bonding activity - and a wildly productive and delicious one, too. lets use sundays to shop, prep and cook with our families (hey, everyone can pitch in!), and then enjoy a great sit-down dinner at the family table. lets turn this into a cherished weekly ritual（惯例）.to get people excited and cooking again, kirstin uhrenholdt (she is danish and - no kidding - grew up on a fruit farm) and i wrote the family cooks, a cookbook filled with easy, healthy and tasty recipes. we included lots of tips and tricks to avoid an unhealthy week - including how to avoid junk food hazards in the supermarket, and ways that small and big kids can help you cook. we know you have good ones, too. so lets share all our great ideas and inspire others to give it a try, because we know that home cooked sundays will guarantee calmer and healthier weeknights - and give us the perfect way to start the week connecting with our kids while teaching them a thing or two about health and happiness.will you help make home-cooked meals synonymous with sundays? share your ideas, inspirations and best tips on how you prep your fridge on sunday for a smooth week ahead. send us your three best tips and favorite go-to recipe for sunday dinner.we will post ours, and together, well make home cooked sunday

million. he developed into a world statesman who acted as a kind of conscience to leaders around the globe.fate initially seemed not to have provided him with a stage on which to achieve more than modest local success. in the first phase of decolonization, singapore emerged as a part of malaya. it was cut loose because of tensions between singapores largely chinese population and the malay majority and, above all, to teach the city a lesson of dependency. malaya undoubtedly expected that reality would cure singapore of its independent spirit. but great men become such through visions beyond material calculations. lee challenged conventional wisdom by opting for statehood. the choice reflected a deep faith in the virtues of his people. he asserted that a city located on a sandbar with no economic resource to draw upon, and whose major industry as a colonial naval base had disappeared, could nevertheless thrive (兴旺)and achieve international reputation by building on its principal asset(财富): the intelligence, industry and dedication of its people.a great leader takes his or her society from where it is to where it has never been indeed, where it as yet cannot imagine being. by insisting on quality education, by suppressing corruption and by basing governance on merit, lee and his colleagues raised the annual per capita income of their population from $500 at the time of independence in 1965 to roughly $55,000 today. in a generation, singapore became an international financial center, the leading intellectual metropolis of southeast asia, the location of the regions major hospitals and a favored site for conferences on international affairs. it did so by adhering to an extraordinary pragmatism: by opening careers to the best talents and encouraging them to adopt the best practices from all over the world.superior performance was one component of that achievement. superior leadership was even more important. as the decades went by, it was moving and inspirational to see lee, the mayor of a medium-size city, become a mentor(导师) of global strategic order.the great tragedy of lees life was that his beloved wife was felled by a stroke that left her a prisoner in her body, unable to communicate or receive communication. through all that time, lee sat by her bedside in the evening reading to her. he had faith that she understood despite the evidence to the contrary. perhaps this was lee kuan yews role in his era. he had the same hope for our world. he fought for its better instincts even when the evidence was ambiguous. but many of us heard him and will never forget him.58.why did lee kuan yew choose to lead singapore to be independent?a.he intended to act as a kind of conscience to leaders around the globe.b.he determined his people shouldnt be subjected to malaya anymore.c.he had considerable confidence in the value of the citys assets.d.he wanted singapore to be the most powerful country worldwide.59.from the underlined sentence in paragraph 2, we can know that_.a. malaya expected singapore to be powerful.b. malaya had a desire to kick singapore off.c. malaya firmly believed singapore would give in. d. malaya didnt think singapore possessed independent spirit.60.which of the following can best describe lee kuan yew?a. stubborn and arbitrary. b. aggressive and affectionate.c. demanding and bossy. d. outspoken and humorous. cscientists from the united states say they have found fish and other creatures living under icy waters in antarctica. they made the announcement after completing three months of research at the ross ice shelf, the worlds largest floating ice sheet.the researchers hoped to find clues to explain the force of the melting ice and its effect on sea level rise. reed scherer and ross powell are with northern illinois university in dekalb, illinois. they just finished up their research on our southernmost continent. money for the project came from americas national science foundation. we chose a study site where, in the first year, we went into thesubglacial(冰川下的)lake and tried to understand the environment in there, both ecologically and in terms of the ice dynamics about how the lake operates, and how the sediment(沉淀物) underneath the ice sheet operates, as well, because its the water and the sediment underneath the ice that controls how fast the ice is flowing into the ocean. says ross powell, who led the investigation. the team included scientists, engineers, mechanics and technicians. they usedtractorsto pull electric generators, science laboratories, heavy machinery and other supplies across the ice from the main u.s. scientific base at mcmurdo station to the researchers camp.the camp was near a subglacial lake, where an earlier study took place. ross powell says the latest study may provide evidence that can help predict the effect of climate change on rising sea levels. what we have found is that these are very sensitive areas to the stability of how dynamic the ice is and how fast the ice may react to increases of melting both from the ocean and the atmosphere.among the new instruments built for the project was a powerful hot water drill. the researchers used th
