Jeff Bezos Reveals His No. 1 Leadership Secret
Amazon has reached what its founder and CEO Jeff Bezos called "an interesting milestone.” The retailing giant so highly associated with books and then music and video, now has tens of millions of products in stock and a majority are non-media goods, from drills to tennis balls to almost anything else that can be shipped.
【1】 The 48-year-old has officially transformed Amazon, which he founded in 1994, from an online bookstore that sells other stuff to a retailer---and business services provider---that once sold mostly books. Amazon's stock is up 397 percent in the last five years.
So, what's behind the success of the world’s largest online retailer? 【2】 Bezos regularly leaves one seat open at meetings and informs all attendees that they should consider that seat occupied by their customer---the most important person in the room.
Always trying to find out what customers want, Bezos is even stricter about that customers don’t want. They hate delays, defects and out-of-stock products, so the company constantly looks to make them as rare as possible. 【3】 Amazon data show that a 0.1 second delay in page loading can translate into a one percent drop in customer activity.
But great customer service doesn’t fully explain Amazon's extraordinary success. For Bezos,a
data driven customer focus encourages him to take risks to innovate. Amazon's kindle, for example, came into being because Bezos believed millions would want an e-book reader that could download any book within 60 seconds. 【4】 Engineers were free to solve technical challenges as they saw fit, only needing to make it right for consumers.
Efficiency ---- cheapness, in the eyes of Amazon’s critics---is also an important part of the Amazon culture. In fact, Bezos liks the two. In 2009, Bezos declared that Amazon had begun fighting against waste. The more he could get rid of needless costs, the easier it would be to deliver rock-bottom prices to customers.
A.That turning point might be Bezos' greatest accomplishment
B.Amazon executives would tell you: the empty chair, the internal nickname of the figure that rule their lives.
C.Bezos could have done it earlier but he took over twenty years to compete that target
D.Even the tiniest delay in loading a web-page isn’t insignificant
E.Customers do enjoy quick delivery, quality products and great after-sales service.
F.He set that target without getting pinned down by technical issues.
27、Walker didn't realize the dangers of e-cigarettes last December when he bought his first one. "I thought it was cool," says Walker, who moved to Florida Atlantic University a month later. Within weeks, given the pressures of adjusting to a new campus, he was smoking a pack or more a day. "After about a week and a half," he says, "I'd get nervous and anxious if I didn't have it."
In early March, Walker went to a hospital emergency room near campus complaining of chest pain, fever and feeling sick. "Eleven days later my chest hurt so bad that I couldn't even sit straight," says Walker. X-rays showed that Walker had what looked like pneumonia (肺炎) in his left lung. Within days, Walker was put on a respirator (呼吸器) and later sent by air to another hospital. "He was dying," says his mom, Candy, a nurse.
It took seven days for doctors to confirm that Walker's infection was caused by the adenovirus (腺病毒). But they were at a loss to explain how the virus had nearly killed an otherwise strong and healthy college student. The answer became clear in mid-April after his father Dave was terrified by what he found — so many e-cigarettes. "Most likely," says Dr. Hunley, "it was the e-cigarettes that led to his breath failure, which contributed to the spread of the adenovirus."
By the time Walker finally left the hospital in July he'd lost 80 pounds, and his left lung and both his kidneys(肾) had been destroyed. Doctors say he now needs to have the kidney transplanted. Walker admits he is shaken by his experience. Meanwhile, Candy says, "Every time I see someone smoking e-cigarettes, I show them pictures of Walker in the hospital and ask, 'Do you understand that you could end up like this?'"
【1】Why did Walker smoke e-cigarettes heavily?
A.He thought smoking e-cigarettes cool and safe.
B.He unwillingly entered a new environment.
C.He couldn't adapt to the new campus quickly.
D.He was given much pressure by his teachers.
【2】How did the e-cigarettes cause Walker's disease?
A.By reducing his weight sharply.
B.By giving off poisonous gas.
C.By spreading the adenovirus.
D.By speeding breath failure.
【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Walker has realized the dangers of e-cigarettes.
B.Walker promises to warn others of e-cigarettes.
C.Walker had kidneys transplanted before leaving hospital.
D.Walker has recovered completely from his disease.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.The Smoking Expenses
B.Walker and E-cigarettes
C.The Harm of E-cigarettes
D.A Brave Teenager—Walker
28、If you’re someone who looks in the mirror every day and concentrates only on any minor flaw (缺陷), you’re not alone. For many people, struggling with body image issues is a continuous battle.
“How hostile (恶意的) is the world to unattractive girls?” became a popular topic on Sina Weibo in March.
The topic met with agreement among many girls who shared their personal experiences. One internet user talked about how her friends would often cut her image out of group pictures because they thought she was too fat. What became clear was that this feeling of insecurity and distance was all too common.
What promotes this anxiety among young people?
As the country’s economy has developed rapidly, people are easier to be influenced by what others think of them, noted CGTN.
Greater time spent online also means greater exposure to advertisements promoting “paper-thin waists” or “chopstick legs”. Such unrealistic ideals only further young people’s anxiety and lead to an unhealthy mindset of perfectionism.
The anxiety over appearance and shape has pushed some people into physical and mental illness. According to Beat, the UK’s leading eating disorder charity, the idealization of thinness is a key factor in worsening the illness and preventing recovery. Some people even go through surgery just to achieve what they believe society considers “beautiful”.
But beauty doesn’t come from a makeup brush or a thinner waist. Growing taller and having perfect skin isn’t the solution to insecurity. The fact that every person is different is something to be celebrated.
A line from China’s first female monologue (独白剧) drama called Hear Her says it perfectly: “I am not perfect. Perfection is dull. I am perfect when I fully realize myself.”
【1】What is a cause of young people’s anxiety about their body image according to the text?
A.The standard promoted by some media.
B.The fierce competition they face.
C.The struggle they have experienced.
D.Their desire for easier success.
【2】According to Beat, what plays a leading role in worsening people’s illness related to the anxiety over appearance and shape?
A.The feeling of insecurity.
B.Other people’s opinions.
C.The desire for thinness.
D.The popularity of plastic surgery.
【3】According to the text, what can people do to ease anxiety related to body image?
A.Have plastic surgery.
B.Accept their differences.
C.Work to realize their dream.
D.Stop wearing makeup.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A.Avoid Misleading Advertisements
B.Stop Wearing Makeup
C.Improve Yourself
D.Celebrate Imperfection
29、People in different places have very different ideas about what to eat. In our country, for example, people from the south like to eat rice while people in the north love dumplings or noodles.
