22、 Look on almost any street comer in America and you will see a fast food shop, the McDonald’s. Did you ever wonder why the McDonald's is so successful everywhere you go?
It certainly doesn't lie in the price of the food or the customer service there. If you stop for lunch at an airport McDonald's，half the continent away, the meal will be almost the same as the lunch you could order at the McDonald's that's closest to your home. What's more, anytime you eat at a McDonald's, you may feel nostalgia (怀旧之情)because the tastes are so similar to your first Happy Meal when you were a child.
The success of the McDonald's, which truly set the stage for other franchise (特许经销权) businesses all over the world, is owed to Ray Kroc. Ray，in 1954, partnered with Dick and Maurice McDonald, the founding brothers behind the first McDonald’s restaurant，to make this small restaurant a nationwide sensation (轰动). Ray's pushing the McDonald's farther than the founders proves an important concept in leadership: the Law of the Lid (盖子法则). The higher the person's ability to lead, the higher the lid on his or her potential.
The McDonald brothers understood how to run a business. They were excellent managers, but when they tried marketing the McDonald's concept, they failed. Their thinking patterns in leadership limited the lid of their potential on the level of what they can do or become. In contrast, the lid of potential in Ray's life was sky high due to his leadership. Between 1955 and 1959, he succeeded in opening 100 McDonald's restaurants. Today the company has more than 35,000 locations in over 120 countries around the world!
If you can get a handle on this law, you will see the unbelievable effect of leadership on every aspect of your life or your company. Wherever you look, you can find smart people who are only able to go so far because of the limitations of their leadership. That's why in times of trouble, organizations naturally look for new leadership. To lift the lid on your potential, continue your study of leadership.
【1】What is most probably the key to the McDonald's success?
A.Its fair price. B.Its consistency in food.
C.Its Happy Meal for children. D.Its warm and friendly service.
【2】What can we know about Ray Kroc?
A.He opened the first McDonald's.
B.He made the most popular food in the McDonald's.
C.He set up various stages for guests in the McDonald's.
D.He expanded the McDonald's into a worldwide business.
【3】Which of the following statements will the author agree with?
A.Ray Kroc lacked a strong sense of effectiveness and leadership.
B.A person's leadership determines the potential of his business.
C.The lid on the McDonald brothers' potential is fairly high.
D.An excellent manager is also good at marketing.
【4】What's the best title of the text?
A.Leadership counts B.Ways to realize our potential
C.Popularity of the McDonald's D.Secrets of running a business
23、Mapping Antarctica
Antarctica was on the map long before anyone ever laid eyes on it. Nearly 2,400 years ago, ancient Greek philosophers such as Aristotle believed that a great continent must exist at the bottom of the world. They though it was needed to balance out the continents at the top of the world. In the 1500s, mapmakers often included a fanciful continent they referred to as Terra Incognita(Latin for “unknown land”) at the bottom of their maps. But it was not until the 1800s -----after explorers had sighted and set foot on Antarctica----- that mapmakers got down to the business of really mapping the continent, which is one—and—a –half times rhe size of the U.S..
While the coastline could be mapped by ships sailing around the continent, it took airplanes—and later, satellites---to chart Antarctica’s vast interior(内陆). That job continues today. And it is a job that still require a mapmaker, or cartographer, to put on boots and head out into the wild.
Cole Kelleher is familiar with that. He is a cartographer with the Polar Geospatial Center(PGC), which is based at the University of Minnesota and has a staff at McMurdo Station. PGC teamed up with Google to use the company’s Trekker technology to capture images of Antarctica for the Internet giant’s popular feature, Street View. A Trekker camera, which is the size of a basketball, is set about two feet above a backpack. The camera records image in all directions. “It weighs about 50 pounds. I was out for two and a half days, hiking 10 to 12 hours each day,” says Kelleher. It was hard work, but really an incredible experience.” According to Kelleher there are plans to use the technology to create educational apps for museums.
The PGC staff at McMurdo Station provides highly specialized mapmaking services for the U.S. Antarctic Program. For one project, Kelleher used satellite images to map huge cracks in the ice. That helped a team of researchers know whether they could safely approach their field camp on snowmobiles. Another recent project was to help recover a giant, high—tech helium(氦气) balloon used to carry scientific instruments high into the atmosphere. These balloons are launched in Antarctica because there is no danger that they will hurt anyone when they fall back down to Earth. Using satellite images, Kelleher and colleagues created maps of where the balloon could be found.
Antarctica may no longer be Terra Incognita, but it still holds countless mysteries. Cartographers and the maps they make will continue to be essential in helping scientists unlock those secrets.
【1】From the passage, we can infer that Antarctica was on the map in the 1500s when________.
A.mapmakers knew it was much larger than the U.S.
B.Aristotle named the continent Terra Incognita
C.no one had ever seen or been to the continent
D.it was such an interesting continent as was often referred to
【2】Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.It needs much work for the mapmakers to head out into the wild.
B.The interior can only be mapped by planes and satellites.
C.It is relatively easy to map Antarctica’s coastline by ship.
D.Antarctic is a vast but still mysterious continent.
【3】The Polar Geospatial Center (PGC) works with Google initially_________.
A.to capture images of Antarctica for Street View
B.to test the company’s Trekker technology
C.to create educational apps for museums
D.to hike for an incredible experience
【4】The fourth paragraph mainly talks about _______.
A.satellite images which are used to map huge cracks in the ice
B.a high-tech helium balloon for carrying scientific instruments
C.how to safely approach the researcher’s field camp and the balloon
D.the specialized mapmaking services provided by the PGC staff
24、 An artwork jointly created by a robot and a human artist will go on sale this week. The artwork — known as an NFT — is to be sold during an online auction (拍卖) on Tuesday. NFT stands for non-fungible token. It is a piece of art that only exists on a computer technology known as blockchain (区块链).
NFTs can exist in the form of images, video, music and text. They are usually bought with electronic money. While anyone can view NFTs, the buyer has official ownership rights over the objects. NFTs have recently been growing in popularity among investors and collectors. Earlier this month, an artwork in the form of an NFT sold for nearly $70 million.
The piece to be sold this week was a cooperative effort between a human-like robot, known as Sophia, and Italian artist Andrea Bonaceto. The company behind Sophia, Hanson Robotics, says the auction will be the first sale of a piece jointly created by a human artist, a robot and artificial intelligence (AI). The artwork, called “Sophia Instantiation”, is a 12-second video file. It combines online and physical paintings from Sophia with elements (要素) from Bonaceto’s work. The artwork also includes influences from art history.
The digital artwork will come with a physical artwork created by Sophia on a printed copy of the online piece. The online auction is to be held by a company called Nifty Gateway. After the sale, Sophia will meet with the buyer to study his or her face, before adding a final element to the artwork. Sophia’s creator, David Hanson, said this part of the project will permit the new owner to have an unusual “personal connection” to the artwork.
Bonaceto said he hopes his collaboration with Sophia will “make a statement in the art world, and even the technology world” about the way robots and humans can cooperate in the future.
Sophia’s art could be “a very, very important historical piece”, said Pablo Fraile, a Miami-based art collector and expert in NFTs. “It’s the first time these ideas have been put together,” he said.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段。使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As far back as I can remember, the large pickle (泡菜) jar sat on the floor beside the dresser in my parents’ bedroom. When he got ready for bed, Dad would empty his pocket and toss his coins into the jar. As a small boy I was always fascinated at the sounds the coins made as they were dropped into the jar. They landed with a merry jingle to a dull thud (沉闷声) as the jar was filled. I used to kneel down on the floor in. front of the jar and admire the copper and silver circles that shone like a pirate’s treasure when the sun poured through the bedroom window.
When the jar was filled, Dad would take it to the bank. Stacked neatly in a small cardboard box, the coins were placed between Dad and me on the seat of his old truck. Each and every time, Dad would look at me hopefully. “Those coins are going to keep you put of the textile mill, son. You are going to do better than me. ” Also, each and every time, as he slid the box of rolled coins across the counter at the bank towards the cashier, he would grin proudly. “These are for my son’s college fund; He’ll never work at the mill all his life like me.”
We would always celebrate each deposit by stopping for an ice-cream cone. I always got chocolate. Dad always got vanilla. When the clerk at the ice-cream parlor handed Dad his change, he would show me the few coins nestled in his palm. “When we get home, we’ll start filling the jar again.”
He always let me drop the first coins into the empty jar. As they rattled around with a brief, happy jingle, we grinned at each other. “You’ll get to college on pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters,” he said. “But you’ll get there. I’ll see to that.”
Years later, I finished college, landed a job in a big city, met my wonderful wife Susan and had our daughter Jessica.
