26、 Upon first look, the world of business is no place for young women. And many people have told my cofounders and me that in many circumstances. Pessimistic though people are about women’s chances in conducting business, three of us female college students, without any experiences, started our business with a greatly aggressive goal: to set up a seaweed farm in North Carolina and grow as much seaweed as possible to help cut down carbon emissions (排放) and pollution filled with nutrition from agricultural activities.
In the beginning, our ideas were either ignored or mocked by the researchers from whom we sought help and advice. But we carried on with our research–if others wouldn’t provide us with answers, we weren’t afraid to try to work them out by ourselves. We experiment on species which could grow in warmer waters, and we had identified potential markets into which we planned to sell the product. We've spent the last two years setting up the first seaweed farm in NC, applying for a patent (专利) and competing with five final teams in front of the United Nations for 2 million.
Despite all of our efforts, many industry experts remained unwilling to take us seriously. But as often happens in business, the same characteristics we were ignored for were, in reality, our biggest competitive advantage. Our age gave us the strength to learn from failure, and our background as environmental scientists, rather than businesswomen, helped us find new marketing opportunities. For every 10 farmers who claimed nobody would ever want to feed their cows seaweed, we found one who was interested. For every 15 cosmetics producers who refused to answer our cold calls, we stuck to the one with an interesting idea for a seaweed lotion.
Over the course of our early business development efforts, we have had access to a wealth of resources, programs, and individuals who work constantly to help us succeed. By staying focused on bringing our ideas to light, our team has demonstrated that entrepreneurship (创业) is exactly the right place for the hopeful.

27、 Even if you wake up every day with a perfect smile on your face, it can easily be ruined by the difficult people you meet at your workplace. You can’t avoid them because they are already part of your daily life. They make your day stressful which gives you a terrible feeling to leave the work immediately. 【1】 I will share a few effective strategies which will help you to deal with these difficult people.
Don’t take it personally.
Difficult people see others’ opinion as conflicting (冲突) to their belief. Their behaviour is already a habit to them so if you take it personally, they may even plan to make your life more terrible. Remember the problem is not only with you.【2】
Listen to what they say.
Sometimes what difficult people want is someone’s attention and love. There are also difficult people who don’t even speak but will just throw you with sullen ( 愠怒的) looks to make you feel uneasy. 【3】 The thought of you standing there and waiting for a response will make them feel uncomfortable and they will just decide to speak up. If they do, listen carefully and analyze it.
Don’t get discouraged.
I have already told you that it would be really difficult for you to change their behaviour but never give up. It should be you affecting them and not them affecting you.【4】 They would not interfere (干扰) with you again. If they realize that, you can already enjoy your stay in the office or in the school.
【5】
Instead of dealing with their pessimistic attitude every day, try to look at what advantages these people have. That way, they will start to like and appreciate you. Also, they won’t give you cold stares any more.
A.See what’s good in these people.
B.Choose topics that you both like.
C.Difficult people are sometimes suffering from low self-esteem (自尊).
D.If this happens, ask them and wait for a minute until he or she speaks.
E.What’s worse is that they can even make your enjoyable day unhealthy.
F.There must be many people who feel annoyed with their unpleasant behaviour.
G.Once they feel that you are different and they can’t beat you, they’ll learn to become distant.

29、How to Start a Career(职业)
Starting a career is about making choices as to what you want out of life well into the future. You could be switching careers, starting fresh, or just looking to see what is out there. 【1】
Dive online into research about careers you're interested in.
On the one hand, if you're unsure about which career you want, make a list of 5-10 jobs you might like and then start searching them. 【2】 You may realize, for example, that becoming an actor has a high burden to entry, with low job security and uncertain hours. But being a production assistant, working on film sets, is a much more manageable start and can lead to a variety of film careers.
Take an honest look at your current qualifications (资格).
Generally speaking, the career you want is going to need some training and experience. 【3】 What you should do next is make enough preparations for the career you love.
Do some volunteer work in fields you enjoy.
This can be especially useful if you're not sure, or if you have several choices and you can't make up your mind between them. 【4】 But it is useful for a short period to give you a good taste of what the career is like.
【5】
It is a good idea to discuss careers with others. It can help you judge if people are enjoying what they're doing every day. It also lets you ask questions to put yourself in their shoes, determining if you see yourself in that job. This can really help you to decide what will work for you.
A.Don't forget to add new jobs to your list.
B.However, never fear if you feel a little under-qualified(不合格的) at the moment.
C.On the other hand, list your strengths, talents, even those not related to typical careers.
D.Either way, it's important to find out what fits best so that you don't burn out half-way.
E.Ask other people what they like about their careers.
F.Don’t feel like there is a “right” answer to picking a career.
G.It doesn’t necessarily mean you need to do long-term work for free.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Scientists have proved what students have long suspected: Maths equations can actually trigger physical pain.
Regions of the brain linked with the experience of physical 【1】 were activated in those fearful of maths when they were presented with a tough equation, researchers have found. The higher a person’s anxiety of a maths task, the more it 【2】 activity in regions of their brain associated with visceral (内脏的) threat detection, and often the experience of pain itself.
However, the researchers say their study examines the pain response associated with anticipating an anxiety-provoking event, rather than the pain associated with a 【3】 event itself. A maths task itself is not painful but 【4】 the thought of it is highly unpleasant to certain people.
“Maths can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMAs), math is associated with tension, apprehension (忧虑) and fear,” the researchers said in their paper titled. When Math Hurts. “【5】, this relation was not seen during math performance, 【6】 that it is not that math itself hurts, rather, the anticipation of math is painful. These results may also provide a potential neural mechanism to explain why (people with) HMAs tend to 【7】 math and math-related situations, which in turn can bias (使有偏见) (those with) high levels of mathematics-anxiety away from taking math classes or even entire math-related 【8】 paths. We provide the first neural 【9】 indicating the nature of the subjective experience of math-anxiety.
Other forms of psychological stress, such as social 【10】 or a traumatic break-up, can also elicit feeling of physical pain.”
