That was until he met Sarah, an advisor at a youth center Kidpreneur.In 2012, Kevin attended a course called Ready Set Go in that center.

From Hopeless Youth to Business LeaderCA woman held her phone tightly to her heart the way a church- goer might hold a Bible. She was anxious to take a picture of an impressive bunch of flowers that sat not so far away, but firstshe had to get through a crowd of others pushing their way to do the same. The cause of this wasBouquets to Art, one of the most popular events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.Flower sellers were asked to create flower arrangements that respond to pieces of art on display, from ancient carvings to contemporary sculptures. Its extremely attractive and also memorable,to the point that it has become a problem.In recent years, the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people whofelt that cell phones had spoiled their experience of the exhibit. Institutions of fine art around theworld face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge attraction for museums, as well as something that upsets some of their patrons (资助人). So the de Youngresponded with a kind of compromise: carving out photo free hours during the exhibitionssix-day run.One common complaint about the effect of social media on museum culture is that peopleseem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them. Astudy recently published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this.It finds that people who keep taking photos of an exhibit and posting them on social media rather than simply observingit havea hard time remembering what they see. But the issue is complexfor the professionals running museums. Linda Butler, the de Youngs head of marketing andvisitor experience, acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be “a photo-taking playland. Yet a lot of people do, and she believes that the de Young is in no position to judgeone reason for buying a$8 ticket to be more valid than another. “If we removed social mediaand photography, she says, we would risk becoming irrelevant.28. What was the woman eager to do according to Paragraph 1?A. To get her phone. B. To take a photo. C. To escape the crowd. D. To push ahead.29. How did the de Young respond to the dilemma?A. By setting periods without photo-taking. B. By making the exhibition free of charge.C. By compromising with the government. D. By extending the free exhibition hours.30. The recent study finds that the use of social media in museums may_A. uncover the truth B. play a negative roleC. accumulate evidence D. cause many complaints31. Which of the following may Linda Butler support?A. Catering to visitors.B. Reducing admission prices.C. Reserving judgement in public.B Banning social media and photography.DMost autonomous vehicles test-driving in cities navigate (导航) by using 3-D mapsmarking every edge of roadside with almost centimeter-level accuracy. But few places have beenmapped in such detail, which has left most areas like smaller towns inaccessible to thosedriverless cars.Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) now have developed a newnavigation system that guides autonomous vehicles without such accurate maps. This technology can help driverless cars travel almost anywhere.The navigation system maps out a course down unfamiliar roads much as a human driverwould by continually scanning its surroundings, with a laser sensor (激光感应器), to measure how close it isto the edges of the road. Meanwhile, the car also flows a tool like a smart phonemap app that provides directions to its destination,as well as information about the rules oftheroad, such as speed limits and the positions of stoplights. Teddy Ort, a roboticist at MIT, test-drove a car equipped with this navigation system on a one-way road. It slowly traveled one kilometer without any human assistance.This system assumes that a car has a clear path down the road, but it can be paired with other existingcomputing technology to discover in-road obstacles (障碍), says Ort. Theresearchers also plan to build a version of this system which can spot markings painted on streets, so that the car can drive on two-way roads.Self-driving cars with this navigation system mayneed other sensors to work in different conditions,” says Alexander Wyglinski, an electrical engineer at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. “Since laser sensors dont work well in rain or snow,these cars might need additional imaging technologies to drive safely in bad weather.32. What may be a problem for most driverless cars?A. They fail in test-driving.B. Their maps are outdated.C. They run in limited areas.D. Their guides are unreliable.33. What can we infer about the MIT navigation system?A. It includes accurate maps.B. It removes in-road obstacles.C. It works by detecting the road.D. It features a smart phone app.34. What is the purpose of Paragraph 4?A. To confirm the test drive results.B. To indicate further research areas.C. To recognize scientists achievements.D. To show the creativity of driverless cars.35. What is the main idea of the text?A. Autonomous cars beat human drivers on country roads.B. Navigating self-driving cars may work in different conditions.C Smart mapping technology adds to the functions of self-driving cars.D. A new navigation system helps autonomous cars drive remote roads.第二节(共5小题:每小题2分，满分10分)How to Tell a Great StoryIn this information age, business leaders wont be heard unless theyre telling stories.
