21、American Jake Pinnick comes from a small town called Kewanee.
Pinnick said when he told friends and family he wanted to go to the Wudang Kungfu Academy in China, the response was typical. "It's not a usual thing to say, but it is pretty normal for kids to want to get out of a place like Kewanee. Most kids say something like they want to move to Hollywood and become an actor, " said the 30-year-old. “When I first thought about it, it was daydreaming for myself, too.”
Once he found himself at the academy, Pinnick said fitting in was softened by other foreigners who were in the area and a part of the school. Getting used to the way of life was surprisingly easy given the peaceful nature to it. Pinnick said after a while, he found himself more at home in Wudang than he ever felt back home in Kewanee. Locals were more than welcoming and willing to engage.
“The culture shock wasn't that bad. Surprisingly, I find I have more of that going back to America now... learning the language did take some time, but everyone around the school was familiar with foreigners, so we had a lot of fun speaking broken English and Chinese back and forth at the start.”
After he settled into a routine, Pinnick set about engaging himself in Chinese culture, including Kungfu training. He was also attracted by the philosophical tradition most well-known for the idea of living in harmony with the universe.
Pinnick said he had to go home after the first six months and immediately wanted to return to China, feeling as if it had now become his home more than America, and he had begun a process of rewriting himself as a person overseas.
His life now goes around training, teaching and studying. He graduated from the academy in 2014 and still helps teach there.
Pinnick said the goal is to one day return to America and teach what he has learned. Looking back on his amazing journey, Pinnick said he has grown by leaps and bounds from a small-town American kid who had a daydream he could not shake.
【1】What did Pinnick's family think of his idea of learning Kungfu?
A．Unrealistic.
B．Creative.
C．Challenging.
D．Disappointing.
【2】What mainly helped Pinnick get used to the life in China?
A．His fluent Chinese.
B．The friendly local culture.
C．His peaceful nature.
D．Other foreign teachers there.
【3】What did Pinnick gain from his experience in China?
A．A career choice.
B．A large fortune.
C．A Kungfu certificate.
D．A good reputation.
22、How to Teach Confidence
While it might seem like some people are just born confident, confidence is largely an acquired skill. It’s something you can model and teach other people. 【1】. Then show them how to achieve goals, and how to deal with failure when it happens. With lessons like these, you can teach the people around you to become more confident.
【2】
If you’re trying to improve someone’s confidence, be a model for how they should behave in a confident way. Act confident around them and in your interpersonal interactions. Show them confident interpersonal relations like eye contact, handshakes, and making small talk. This lets them practice in a safe environment.
Praise small accomplishments to raise a person’s self-worth.
If you’re trying to build someone’s confidence, start small. Each accomplishment they complete is a cause for celebration, even if it seems small. Be happy for your friends, kids, or students. 【3】
Give specific praise so people know what they did well.
【4】. Instead, tell the person exactly what they did well. This makes your praise more genuine and boosts the person self-esteem more by showing them their strengths.
Start with a positive statement before correcting something.
You may have to point out where someone needs to improve. This is especially important if you’re a parent, teacher, or coach. 【5】, always start by saying something positive first. This raises the person’s spirits and makes it easier for them to take the critical feedback that’s coming up.
A．Model confident behavior for people
B．If you do have to make criticisms or corrections
C．A specific praise is better than a simple “You did well”
D．Instead of feeling criticized, the person will know you’re sincere
E．You might show someone’s strengths to help them see the bright side
F．Your positive energy will teach them to celebrate their achievements
G．Start by building up their self-esteem, independent thought, and positive self-talk
23、 Visitors to Henn-na, a restaurant outside Nagasaki, Japan, are greeted by an unusual sight: their food being prepared by a row of humanoid robots. The “head chef”, named Andrew, is using his two long arms; he stirs batter (面糊) in a metal bowl, then pours it onto a hot grill. In a nearby hotel, robots check guests into their rooms and help with their luggage.
CEO Hideo Sawada, who runs the restaurant and the hotel, predicts that 70% of the jobs at Japan’s hotels will be automated (自动化) in the next five years. He said, “Since you can work them 24 hours a day, and they don’t need vacation, eventually it’s more cost-efficient to use the robot.”
This is seemingly worrying. In fact, in America, automation helps the food-service and accommodation sector continue to grow. In the company Panera, because of its new kiosks, an app that allows online ordering, the chain is now processing more orders overall, which means it needs more total workers to meet consumer demand. Starbucks customers who use the chain’s app return more frequently than those who don’t, the company has said, and the greater efficiency that online ordering allows has boosted sales at busy stores during peak hours. Starbucks employed 8% more people in the U.S. in 2016 than it did in 2015, the year it launched the app.
Of course, whether automation is a net benefit for workers in restaurants and hotels, and not just a competitive advantage for one chain over another will depend on whether an improved customer experience makes Americans more likely to dine out and stay at hotels, rather than brown-bagging it or finding an Airbnb to book unique homes.
【1】Why does the writer describe the unusual sight in Paragraph 1?
A.To promote robots. B.To introduce the topic.
C.To voice his opinion. D.To show the background.
【2】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Automation may be a challenge to human jobs.
B.Automation may increase business costs.
C.Workers may fail to focus on their tasks.
D.Many companies may fail to survive.
【3】What can we learn from the two cases in Paragraph 3?
A.The two companies are trying to take over the market competitively.
B.Automation could open up more job chances for humans.
C.Starbucks employed more people than Panera did in 2016.
D.Automation helps the shops become famous online.
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the future of automation?
A.Critical. B.Negative. C.Objective. D.Indifferent.
