I insisted on the excellent Internet marketing and then good 23 came. My dabbling became a hobby, and then passion (热情). Later passion 24 my business. I have really become a millionaire within a year.
The more I learn, the more I realize I need to learn more. I’ve made a lot of mistakes, but I know that every mistake is just one more step forward, as a song tells us “You’ve got to lose to know how to win".

It seems food deliverymen (送货员) are always in a hurry. They wear blue, red or yellow helmets and many of them don’t follow traffic rules. They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights. They use mobile phones while driving.
These reckless behaviors have caught the public’s attention.
In the first half of 2017, food deliverymen had 76 traffic accidents in Shanghai, according to Shanghai Security Bureau. That means every two and a half days, a food deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road.
What makes deliverymen take such risks? The strict rules of the food delivery service companies and the impatient customers may be the answer.
Many companies will fine a deliveryman up to 2,000 yuan, if he fails to deliver an order on time, reported China Daily. Fines also go to those who get bad reviews from customers
To solve the problem, food delivery service companies need to improve their incentive system (激励机制), noted CRI Online.
Some cities are also taking action. Shanghai has asked companies to train their deliverymen on traffic rules and safety. Now in Shenzhen, if a deliveryman gets caught breaking traffic rules more than twice, then he can be prevented from driving food service delivery vehicles for a whole year.
28. The first paragraph mainly tells us that many food deliverymen __________.
A. work very hard
B. are good at driving
C. break traffic rules
D. use mobile phones too much
29. What does the underlined word “reckless" in paragraph 2 mean in Chinese?
A. 忙碌的
B. 勇敢的
C. 愚蠢的
D. 鲁莽的
30. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Companies are improving their review systems.
B. Some cities are working to improve the situation.
C. To drive safely, food deliverymen will obey more traffic rules.
D. Food deliverymen cannot drive on important roads in the future.

The father got out of the bed, pointed to some chickens in the yard and said “Look at them sitting there in peace with each other, isn’t it good? ” Then their father brought out a bowl of corns, went quietly behind the house and spread most of them on the ground. Then he went back to the yard with only a few coms left and flung (挥动) at the chickens. As soon as they saw the corns, the chickens jumped up, waved their wings and fought for it.

Two days ago, I had taken a test in Biology, and I knew that I would get my scores in the same class today.
After the bell rang, every student sat in his or her seat impatiently. Then, one by one, the teacher called our names.
As each paper was given back to the correct student, the front of the answer paper would always be turned to face the ground and the paper itself would be slightly folded (折叠) to prevent anyone from seeing.
In fact, folding each test paper is a way to make sure that each student sees only his or her own scores. The scores are seen as private information not to be announced or shown to others. As a way to keep the students' score records secret, each student is given an online account (帐号) with which to check his or her grades posted on the official school website.
Protecting students' private information always comes first in US schools that want to free students from unnecessary pressure. Academic (学业上的) reports are guarded closely to prevent poor academic grades from damaging a student's dignity and reputation (有损学生的尊严和声誉), which are for himself or herself only.
However, some insist that although students' feelings and self-dignity are easily hurt, they cannot be forever protected. They say that school also teach their students to make themselves stronger in mind, and the classroom should show the reality of competition in society. Scores that everyone can see might better encourage students to work harder to be better than others.
Protecting of students' privacy (隐私) in US schools
The writer's 54 ※After the bell rang, it’s 55 of students to sit and wait for their scores for a test in Biology.
※The teacher called students' names and handed out the papers.
※He received test papers facing down and folded several times.
Other way taken
