Alibaba founder Jack Ma has become China's richest person according to a wealth survey by the. Hurun Report. Mr.Ma tops its annual rich list with a fortune of $25bn,.followed, by Wanda Group chairman Wang Jianlin.
Internet billionaires account for five of China's 10 richest people this year, beating property giants(房地产巨头) who have traditionally dominated(占优势) the list, which also includes the head of Tencent, Pony Ma.Other technology giants on the list include the co-founder of Chinese search group Baidu, Robin Li, and the founder of online retailer (零售商) JD.com, Richard Liu.
CHINARICH LIST
Hurun Report chairman and chief researcher Rupert Hoogewerf said, "Jack Ma is the 11th Number One we have had in China in the last 16 years, showing the dynamism(活力) of the Chinese economy, and an outstanding reminder of the growth potential that is being realized in the new markets".
The Hurun Report's rich list is one of the most closely-watched and accurate assessments of wealth in China. The annual report has been published for the past 16 years. Individuals or families required at least $2.3bn this year to make it onto the list, which is more than 15 times the amount needed a decade ago. There are a record 354 so-called "dollar billionaires" in China this year, Hurun said, which is a 13% increase from last year.Overall, the total wealth of the l,271 people on the list is worth $1.4tn this year
Hurun said it had been "an amazing year" for the online retail and other IT sectors and a “good year” for entertainment, investments, cars, renewable energy, pharmaceuticals(药业) and manufacturing. On the other side, Hurun said it had "been a bad year for steel and shipping" and that real estate(不动产) "could have done a lot worse, bearing in mind the state of the market".
The world's second-largest economy has been slowing down. Its property industry may
have 'overheated and that levels of local debt are too high. As a result, the government has taken measures to cool the housing market, which has slowed down for several quarters.Perhaps reflecting this shift, four of the six property giants in last year's top 10 list have dropped down the rankings.
1.According to Rupert Hoogewerf, Jack Ma's being the 11th richest in China in the last 16 years indicates that .
A. China will surely have the 12ffi Number One next year
B. the growth of China's economy in the last 16 years is incredible
C. new markets are providing China with great potential for economic growth
D. China has successfully sailed through the global financial crisis started in 2008
2.What is true about the Hurun Report's rich list?
A. Accurate assessments lend credit to the rich list.
B. Only individual billionaires can make it onto the list.
C. The list has been published every other year for 16 years.
D.It favors investments and cars rather than steel and shipping.
3.What can be inferred from the changes in the top 10 list during the past two years?
A. Property giants are no longer rich due to the shift.
B. China has become the world's second-largest economy.
C. Internet billionaires traditionally dominated the top 10 list.
D. The Government has played a role in the changes of house prices.

As you prepare yourself to become a better leader, use the following guidelines to help you grow:

No one respects and follows mediocrity(平庸). Leaders who earn the right to lead give their all to what they do. They bring into play not only their skills and talents, but also great passion and hard work. 4._______
Give your power away.
What makes leadership so special is that you become a better leader by sharing whatever power you have, not by saving it all for yourself. 5.________ If you use your power to empower others, your leadership will extend far beyond your grasp.

Just how far does the euro(欧元) have to fall before Europe actually becomes reasonable?
Anyone traveling to the old continent from the U.S. in recent years has learned the hard way how expensive it is. The situation has improved in the last couple of months, thanks to the Greek financial crisis. But it still has a way to go.
Alarm about Greece—and other financially unstable countries in Europe—has dragged down the euro sharply. In November, before the crisis struck, you needed about $1.49 to buy one euro. Today you need only about $1.36. That's a 9% cut.
What does that mean for you, the would-be traveler? It's a big sale.
As recently as November, when the euro was flying high, the OECD estimated that countries like France, Italy and Germany were about a third more expensive than the U.S. Not all European countries were quite as expensive for the American visitor: Greece only cost about 17% more than the US, while the Czech Republic (which is not part of the eurozone) was actually about 15% cheaper than back home.
Fast-forward two months, and the situation looks somewhat better.
At current exchange rates, places like France will still cost you about 23% more than the U.S., but cheaper countries such as Spain and Greece are now only about 6% more expensive. The Czech Republic's a fifth cheaper than the U.S.
European prices will only break even(持平) with the U.S. if the euro falls to about $1.10, says the OECD. But is it going to get there?
Greece's financial crisis may or may not be over. Members of a labor union just occupied part of the finance ministry to protest against the planned austerity(紧缩) measures. No, it doesn't inspire confidence!
Julian Jessop, chief international economist at the Capital Economics consultancy in London, sees the euro falling to $1.25 by year-end. “We still think the euro should be a lot lower,” he says. “We think the outlook for the European economy is a lot worse than for the U.S. And Greece is only a symptom of a wider problem: Does the eurozone make sense as a currency union?” If he's right, you may want to wait to change your money or book a trip.
67. In the passage the writer offers some suggestions to the travellers from______.
A.USA B.Europe C.Greece D.China
68. The underlined word “it” in the passage refers to ______.
A.the planned austerity measures
B.Greece’s financial crisis
C.the protest from a labor union
D.the decline of the euro in value
69. Julian Jessop has a negative attitude toward the euro because he thinks ______.
A.Greece’s financial crisis may not be over
B.the euro will drop to $ 1.25 by the end of the year
C.the European economy is a lot worse than the US’
D.the other European countries have a similar problem like Greece
70. The purpose of the author writing the passage is to tell the readers that ______.
A.the euro shall be further reasonably lowered
B.travelers to Europe will save less in the future
C.the economic situation in Europe is worsening
D.the Greek financial crisis influences the whole Europe

Garbage sorting has become a hot issue around China, especially after Shanghai began carrying out a regulation on July 1.
Beijing, as a forerunner in environmental protection, has thus been expected to follow suit. The capital of the country has long been campaigning for sorting and recycling household waste, as part of its environmental drive for sustainable growth, local media reported.
The current regulation gives garbage sorting responsibilities to government departments, property management groups and other organizations. It also gives rules for companies, outlining how they’re responsible for waste collection, transportation and treatment. Only individuals are not subject to responsibilities.
The long-awaited revision will soon change the situation, “Taking out the trash without sorting it properly will be illegal,” said Sun Xinjun, director of the Beijing Commission of Urban Management. In Shanghai, violators are now fined up to 200 yuan ($30)for trash-sorting violations. The maximum fine in Beijing will not be less than that, he said.
The Beijing city government first set out to promote garbage sorting in 2009. Authorities have since called on citizens to sort their household waste into four types-recyclable waste, kitchen trash, dangerous waste and others-and leave it in a corresponding dustbin or trash can. Blue-colored dustbins signify items within are recyclable, green represents kitchen trash, red corresponds to dangerous materials and grey to other waste.
To promote the awareness of garbage sorting and expand the base of participants, authorities have employed workers to help residents on the spot. With intelligent devices, those who throw in recyclable waste at given sites will be rewarded with bonus points, which can be used to buy daily goods. At some communities, there are no color-coded dustbins. Instead, a scheduled garbage collection service is offered to help improve the environment. In other communities, workers offer a door-to-door service to collect recyclables or kitchen waste.
Beijing Environmental Sanitation Engineering Group has been promoting new garbage sorting facilities such as recycling cabinets and smart kitchen waste trash cans since 2016, Xinhua News Agency reported. Nearly 26,000 metric tons of household waste is generated across Beijing on a daily basis and 29 terminal garbage disposal facilities are working at full capacity. Nearly 9.3 million tons of household waste was processed in the city last year.
1.According to the passage, which dustbins should some used coke cans be thrown into?
A.Grey-colored dustbins. B.Red-colored dustbins.
C.Green-colored dustbins. D.Blue-colored dustbins.
2.We can learn from the passage that ________.
A.new technology has been applied to help deal with garbage
B.Beijing carried out a more severe rule on garbage sorting than Shanghai
C.the change of the current regulation has aroused objection among citizens
D.the amount of household waste in Beijing is far from something disturbing
3.What is the best title for the text?
A.How to Sort Garbage in China B.The Current Regulation in Beijing
C.Garbage Collection in Beijing D.Waste Recycling Project Counts
4.The passage can be sorted as ________.
A.a book review B.a travel brochure
C.an environment report D.a geography essay

On a recent night, while I was busy thinking about important social issues, like what to do over the week﹣end and who to do it with, I overheard my parents talking about my future. My dad was upset ﹣ not the usual stuff that he and Mom and, I guess, a lot of parents worry about like which college I' m going to, how far away it is from home. Instead, he was upset about the world his generation is turning over to mine, a world he fears has a dark and difficult future﹣﹣if it has a future at all.
"There will be a disease that kills millions, a disastrous energy crisis, a horrible worldwide depression and a nuclear explosion set off in anger."
As I lay on the living room couch, listening to their conversation, starting to worry about the future my father was describing, I found myself looking at some old family photos. There was a picture of my grandfather who was a member of the class of 1942, the war class. Next to his picture were photos of my great﹣grandparents. Seeing those pictures made me feel a lot better. I believe tomorrow will be better than today ﹣﹣that the world my generation grows into is going Lo get better, not worse. Those pictures helped me understand why.
I considered some of the awful things my grandparents and great﹣grandparents had seen in their lifetimes: two world wars, killer flu, segregation(隔离) , a nuclear bomb. But they saw other things, too, better things: the end of two world wars, passage of the civil rights laws.
I believe that my generation will see better things, too﹣﹣that we will witness the time when AIDS is cured and cancer is defeated. I will see things as incredible to me today as the internet to my father when he was 16.
