21、Do you want to reach your full potential? A big part of that is managing your risks. There are risks in different parts of your life. 【1】 Here I'd like to share my lessons on how to manage risks.
Always be prepared for the worst-case scenario（情况）.
A common mistake in risk management is ignoring the worst-case scenario. Many people are overconfident about the future, especially during good times. 【2】 But guess what? It takes just one such event to ruin everything. So be prepared for it.
Always have alternatives.
【3】 In Getting to Yes, a book on negotiation, the best alternative is called BATNA: Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement. The better your BATNA is, the stronger your bargaining power is. The worst position to be in is to have no alternative at all. In that case, the other party can dictate whatever they want and you have no choice but to say yes.
Make sure the alternatives are uncorrelated（不相关的）.
For the alternatives to really reduce your risks, they need to be uncorrelated. 【4】 For example, let's say you have two income streams but both of them depend on traffic from Google. When something goes wrong with Google's traffic, both of them will go down because they are correlated. You should instead build your second income stream in a way that doesn't depend on Google.
Take higher-level risks.
When you manage your risks well, you will have a strong foundation to take higher-level risks. Taking higher-level risks is important if you want to reach your full potential. Otherwise, you will just stay in a comfort zone. 【5】
A．Higher-level risks appear constantly.
B．Your alternatives should be correlated.
C．As a result, they ignore the worst thing that could happen.
D．To put your risks under control, you should have alternatives.
E．Moving to the next level requires you to move to the unknown.
F．The better you manage them, the better your chance to move forward will be.
G．If they are still correlated, they could all go down when something bad happens.
22、Tiny as they are, bats have the ability to "see" in the dark by using a special skill called echolocation(回声定位法）. They make noises and wait for sound waves, or an echo, to bounce back off objects. They can tell the distance of various objects by how quickly, the sound waves bounce back off them. If no sound bounces back, they can then fly forward.
This special ability has been copied in the human world for a long time，such as in submarines and planes. But apart from helping vehicles “see” where they are, what if blind people could use echolocation for themselves? American Daniel Kish. who is blind, 1s known as "batman. " This isn't because he walks around in a cape(披风) and a mask, but because he has a bat-like ability to locate where he is through sharp clicks he makes by moving his tongue against the roof of his mouth. Kish is so skilled at echolocating that he can ride a bike and hike on his own.
Recently, a research carried out at the University of Durham in England shed some light on the power of human echolocation. Kish, as well as other volunteers, worked with a group of scientists who studied the way blind people listen to the echoes that they produce from clicks. The team found that people were capable of hearing even very faint echoes, ones far fainter than had been previously thought.
Lore Thaler, lead scientist of the group, said, "We found that in some conditions, they were really faint-about 95 percent softer than the actual clicks, but the echolocators were still able to sense this."
Andrew Kolarik, another expert in echolocation, told BBC News that echolocation “can be very useful at providing information at face or chest height” and could help people “avoid objects like low hanging branches that might not get detected by the cane or a guide dog".
According to BBC News, echolocation is a skill blind people can acquire and develop, just like learning a language. As Kolarik said, "Teaching echolocation skills could provide blind people with the means of exploring new places. "
【1】What does "this special ability" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．The ability to make noises in the dark.
B．The ability to bounce back off objects.
C．The ability to measure the distance quickly.
D．The ability to use sound waves to echolocate.
【2】What do we know about Daniel Kish from the text?
A．He is fond of riding a bike and hiking alone.
B．He is able to hear echoes he produces from clicks.
C．He is called "Batman” because he looks like a bat.
D．He conducted the experiment to circulate echolocation.
【3】What is Kolarik's attitude towards the future use of echolocation in blind people?
A．Ambiguous.
B．Hopeful.
C．Tolerant.
D．Doubtful.
【4】What's the best title for the text?
A．Echolocation in Human World.
B．A Very Special Batman.
C．Finding New Way to “See”.
D．A Breakthrough in echoing.
23、Brian Hamilton's life changed in a prison when he went there with his friend, Reverend Robert J. Harris, who often went to local prisons to do ministry work. During the visit, Hamilton started talking to one of the prisoners and asked what he was going to do when he got out. “He said he was going to get a job,” Hamilton recalls. “I thought to myself, wow, that’s going to be difficult with a criminal background.”
The conversation made Hamilton consider how to help those who came out from prison. Finally in 2008, 16 years after that initial conversation, Hamilton created Inmates to Entrepreneurs, a nonprofit organization that helps people with criminal backgrounds start their own small businesses.
At the time, Hamilton was building his own company, a software technology company for the banking industry. As his company grew, so did Hamilton’s time devoted to giving lessons to prisoners. He averaged three to four courses a month at prisons throughout North Carolina.
Eventually, Hamilton decided to shift his focus to his true passion. In May 2019, he sold his company and focused on helping those who were imprisoned. His online courses will be set next year. “By March 1, 2022, anyone will be able to access the courses, either to become a certificated instructor or to access it for themselves as a prisoner or part of the general population,” Hamilton explained. In addition, he visits middle schools and presents the course to at-risk students as a preventative measure against crime.
The free course is funded by the recently established Brian Hamilton Foundation, which offers assistance to military members as they return to civilian life and provides loans o small businesses. “Starting up a business isn't for everyone, but if we make opportunities available, and let people know that other people care about them, it makes a difference.” Hamilton said.

24、While Bill was getting ready for work one Monday morning, he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise. All day Bill felt nervous as he thought about the upcoming showdown. What if Mr. Smith refused his request? Bill had worked so hard in the last 12 months and managed to win a contract that was hard to get for Procter& Gamble. Of course, he should get a salary raise.
The thought of walking into Mr. Smith’s office left Bill weak in the knees. Late in the afternoon he was finally brave enough to approach his superior. To his delight and surprise, the mean boss agreed to give Bill a raise!
Bill arrived home that evening---despite breaking all city and state speed limits---to a beautiful table. His wife, Alice, had prepared a fabulous meal including his favorite dishes. Immediately he figured someone from the office had told her the news.
Next to his plate Bill found a beautiful lettered note. It was from his wife. It read: “Congratulations, my love! I knew you’d get the raise! I prepared this dinner to show just how much I love you. I am so proud of your accomplishments!” He read it and stopped to reflect on how sensitive and caring Alice was.
After dinner, Bill was on his way to the kitchen to get dessert when he noticed that a second card had slipped out of Alice’s pocket onto the floor. He bent forward to pick up. It read: “Don’t worry about not getting the raise! You do deserve one! You are a wonderful provider and I prepared this dinner to show you how much I love you though you did not get the increase.”
Suddenly tears welled in Bill’s eyes. Total acceptance! Alice’s support for him was not conditional upon his success at work.

It was not spoken very clearly, since her stroke had the movement of her tongue. I was not moved then, since after spending a few months in this hospital, I was almost .
And that old lady had stroke a few days later, which made her unable to speak or move anymore. I thought she would be as others, lying there, waiting the day, and crying sometimes. But I was wrong. She still held that someday, somehow, she would fully , though both she and I knew the possibility for that was extremely small.
Then, the very sentence she said to me. A patient with absolute no hope still held the optimistic aspect in her life, regardless how it was. How could I lead my life in that way? Since then, I’ve tried harder and worked harder. I would not give up my life either.
