19、repreneur. I thought it was a funny question, _36_ I not very confident at all, and constantly filled with _37_ about every decision I make.It doesnt exactly hold me back in my work; its just that I am very _38_ of what I do, and Im always _39_ on the way I work, think and talk. I have also learned

20、over the years that making a decision is often more important than making the _40_ decision. Preferably your decisions are the right ones, but inaction or indecisiveness is more _41_ than making the wrong decisions every now and then.There is one thing I have learned over the years that I wish I had

21、 learned earlier in my career. And that is the _42_ that I am not stupid.It sounds logical, but I often sat in on meetings and heard people explain things and then _43_ to myself, “ I dont understand that. Maybe Im stupid?” or I would hear about a startup and I wouldnt _44_ their business model and

22、think Im stupid. Or I would hear an entrepreneur speak and think, “ That all like _45_ bullshit, but I must be stupid, because other people seem to love it.”A couple of years ago, I came to the _46_ that I was not stupid at all. When people in meetings say things I dont understand I _47_ up and tell

23、 them so. Usually, I hear a sigh of _48_ in the room and find out nobody understood what was being talked about.When I dont understand a business model it usually means there is not one, or it _49_. Turns out Im not stupid and _50_ I dont understand it, most people wont understand it at all. _51_ do

24、ubting my own abilities Ive learned to _52_ my “bullshit radar” a bit more and not understanding something is a clear sign that something is _53_.My advice to young entrepreneurs is this: you are not stupid! If something does not make _54_, if it sounds stupid, if you dont understand it, something i

35、er of the state of Singapore, then a city of about 1 million. He developed into a world statesman who acted as a kind of conscience to leaders around the globe.Fate initially seemed not to have provided him with a stage on which to achieve more than modest local success. In the first phase of decolo

36、nization, Singapore emerged as a part of Malaya. It was cut loose because of tensions between Singapores largely Chinese population and the Malay majority and, above all, to teach the city a lesson of dependency, Malaya undoubtedly expected that reality would cure Singapore of its independent spirit

37、.But great men become such through visions beyond material calculations. Lee challenged conventional wisdom by opting for statehood. The choice reflected a deep faith in the virtues of his people. He asserted that a city located on a sandbar with no economic resource to draw upon, and whose major in

38、dustry as a colonial naval base had disappeared, could nevertheless thrive and achieve international reputation by building on its principal asset(財富): the intelligence, industry and dedication of its people.A great leader takes his or her society from where it is to where it has never been - indeed

39、, where it as yet cannot imagine being. By insisting on quality education, by suppressing corruption and by basing governance on merit. Lee and his colleagues raised the annual per capita income of their population from $500 at the time of independence in 1965 to roughly $55,000 today. In a generati

40、on, Singapore became an international financial center., the leading intellectual metropolis of Southeast Asia, the location of the regions major hospitals and a favored site for conferences on international affairs. It did so by adhering to an extraordinary pragmatism: by opening careers to the bes

41、t talents and encouraging them to adopt the best practices from all over the world.Superior performance was one component of that achievement. Superior leadership was even more important. As the decades went by, it was moving - and inspirational - to see Lee., the mayor of a medium-size city, become

42、 a mentor of global strategic order.The great tragedy of Lees life was that his beloved wife was felled by a stroke that left her a prisoner in her body, unable to communicate or receive communication. Through all that time, Lee sat by her bedside in the evening reading to her. He had faith that she

43、 understood despite the evidence to the contrary.Perhaps this was Lee Kuan Yews role in his era. He had the same hope for our world. He fought for its better instincts even when the evidence was ambiguous. But many of us heard him and will never forget him.58. Why did Lee Kuan Yew choose to lead Sin

44、gapore to be independent?A. He intended to act as a kind of conscience to leaders around the globe.B. He determined his people shouldnt be subjected to Malaya anymore.C. He had considerable confidence in the value of the citys assets.D. He wanted Singapore to be the most powerful country worldwide.5

45、9. From the underlined sentence in Paragraph2, we can know that _.A. Malaya expected Singapore to be powerfulB. Malaya had a desire to kick off SingaporeC. Malaya firmly believed Singapore would give inD. Malaya didnt think Singapore possessed independent spirit60. The fourth paragraph is organized

46、to _.A. illustrate how advanced Singapore has been todayB. demonstrate Lee Kuan Yew attached great importance to the talentsC. prove what a crucial decision Lee Kuan Yew once madeD. show the tremendous impact Lee Kuan Yew had on Singapore61. Which of the following can best describe Lee Kuan Yew?A. S

47、tubborn and arbitrary B. Aggressive and affectionate.C. Demanding and bossy D. Outspoken and humorous.CScientists from the United States say they have found fish and other creatures living under key waters in Antarctica. They made the announcement after completing three months of research at the Ros

48、s Ice Shelf, the worlds largest floating ice sheet.The researchers hoped to find clues to explain the force of the melting ice and its effect on sea level rise. Reed Scherer and Ross Powell are with Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois. They just finished up their research on our souther

49、nmost continent. Money for the project came from Americas National Science Foundation.“We chose a study site where, in the first year ,We went into the subglacial (冰川下的)lake and tried to understand the environment in there, both ecologically and in terms of the ice dynamics about how the lake operat

50、es ,and how the sediment(沉淀物) underneath the ice sheet operates, as well, because its the water and the sediment underneath the ice that controls how fast the ice is flowing into the ocean” says Ross Powell, who led the investigation. The team included scientists ,engineers, machinery and other supp

51、lies across the ice from the main U.S. scientific base at Mc Murdo Station to the researchers camp .The camp was near a subglacial lake ,where an earlier study took place,Ross Powell says the latest study may provide evidence that can help predict the effect of climate change on rising sea levels.“W

52、hat we have found is that these are very sensitive areas to the stability of how dynamic the ice is and how fast the ice may react to increases of melting both from the ocean and the atmosphere.”Among the new instruments built for the project was a powerful hot water drill. The researchers used the

53、drill to dig down some 740 meters. They collected water ,sediment and other material from the grounding zone.Working around the clock before the deep hole refroze, they sent a video camera down to the 400-square-meter undersea area.Reed Scherer says the video images they saw in the Command Center we

54、re a total surprise.“Its a very mobile environment. The bottom is changing constantly. And so the things that we saw were all very mobile organisms, things that swim and some things that crawl. And obviously they are getting enough nutrition that they can thrive, Some of the little crustacean-like c

55、reatures called amphipods that we saw swam quite quickly and were quite active.”This is the farthest south that fish have ever been seen. How did the creatures get here? What do they feed on? And what effect will the retreating ice have on them?Ross Powell says the ice and sediment cores taken from the grounding zone can offer clues.“We know that the ice
