18、lert can receive free notification about the event.BAt the age of seven，while his friends were spending their allowances on things like candy and toys，Jose Adolfo Quisocola was busy saving money for basic purchasesTo try to get his peers(同龄人)to do the same，the boy from Peru came up with the idea of

19、an eco-bank，the Bartselana Student Bank，which allows kids of all ages to become financially(经济上) independent while also helping the environmentSet up in 2012，the bank is the worlds first bank for kidsTo become a member，a kid has to bring in at least 5 kilograms of solid waste and set a savings goalO

20、nce accepted，all bank“partners”are required to deposit at least one additional kilogram of recyclables(可回收利用) on a monthly basis and observe other requirements，such as attending financial education and environmental management workshopsThe waste accumulated（积累） is sold to local recycling companies，w

21、ho，thanks to Joses efforts，pay a higher-than-market rate for everything brought in by the bank membersThe money received is placed in the personal account where they collect until the savings goal is reachedThe account holder can then withdraw（取钱） the money，or choose to leave it and continue to grow

22、 for a bigger target“At the beginning，my teachers thought I was crazy or that a child could not undertake this type of project，”Jose recalls“They did not understand that we are not the future of the country but its presentLuckily，I had the support of the school headmaster and an assistant in my clas

23、s”The boys efforts paid off，and by 2013，the bank had over 200 members，who brought in one ton of recyclable wasteToday，the eco-bank，which now has the support of several local institutions，boasts ten educational centersThey are designed to teach the over 3，000 students，aged 10 to 18，to become financia

24、lly independent，use their money wisely，and help the environmentNot surprisingly，Joses efforts have earned him several national and international awardsOn November 20，2018，Jose won Childrens Climate Prize，which comes with a medal and $5，500 in prize money and is given to a child or youth who has acco

25、mplished an extraordinary achievement for the climate or environment24Why did Jose set up the bank?

27、about ?AWhat the project has achieved BHow the environment is improvedCHow tons of waste has been recycled DWhat support the local institutions getCSteve Jobs was 52 when he announced the iPhone. That was in 2007. Years later, the Apple co-founder introduced the MacBook Air, App Store and iPad. Tim

28、Cook, who was 51 when he took over from Jobs, is building on his legacy. They both broke a myth that the young rule the technology industry.Silicon Valleys venture capitalists speak openly of their bias(偏爱) toward the young. “People under 35 are the people who make change happen； people over 45 basi

29、cally die in terms of new ideas,” Vinod Khosla, a prominent investor, said at a conference.The result of this bias is that older entrepreneurs often are ignored while younger entrepreneurs(企业家) receive attention and funding. This is hurting the venture-capital system as well as Silicon Valleybecause

30、 the stereotypes（模式化观念） are wrong.Research on successful technology firms looked only at companies that had made it out of the garage and were making at least $ 1 million in profits. The research revealed that the average and medium age of their founders was 39. Twice as many were older than 50 as w

31、ere younger than 25. And twice as many were older than 60 as were younger than 20. In a follow- up project, we studied the backgrounds of 549 successful entrepreneurs in 12 high-growth industries. The average and medium age of male founders in this group was 40，and a significant proportion（比例） were

32、older than 50.There are lots of young founders in Silicon Valley, some of whom drop out of school to start their companies. The vast majority of these start-ups fail, however, because there is no substitute（代替） for experience and knowledge which come with age.Young entrepreneurs surely have an advan

33、tage in social media and app building. They understand these new technologies better than their parents do because they have grown up using them. It is also easier to write code for a cellphone than to learn how to motivate and inspire employees, manage finances and market products. But building a b

34、usiness requires all of those skills. That is why older entrepreneurs have more success. As baby boomers become as familiar with Internet and mobile technologies as their children are，they surely will give the youngsters a run for their money. They also have greater buying power and a better underst

35、anding of the markets for the next generation of technologies.That is why we need to get beyond the stereotypes and realize that baby boomers are going to better the world.28.Which age group might the baby boomers belong to?A. Under 20. B. 20 to 30.C. 55 to 65.D. 35 to 4529.From the passage, we can

36、infer that _.A.people in their 50s are absolutely unable to come up with new ideasB.the average and medium age of the founders of technology firms was 50C.some young founders in Silicon Valley quit school to start their companiesD.younger people tend to have a better understanding of the markets tha

37、n old ones30.All the following statements explain why older entrepreneurs are more successful in building a business EXCEPT that _.A.they are more experienced and knowledgeableB.they know how to motivate and inspire employees, manage finances and market productsC.they have greater buying power than

38、younger onesD.they are more familiar with Internet and mobile technologies31.What is the passage mainly about?A.Why baby boomers are an important part of technologys future. B.Some Silicon Valleys venture capitalists speak openly of their bias toward the young.C.The young have an advantage in social

39、 media and app building than the old.D.The young rule the technology industry.DIntelligence makes for better leaders from undergraduates（大学生） to managers to presidents according to multiple studies. It certainly makes sense that handling a market shift or anything alike require intelligence. But new

40、 research on leadership suggests that, at a certain point, having a higher IQ stops helping and starts hurting.Although previous research has shown that groups with smarter leaders perform better by objectivemeasures, some studies have suggested that followers might subjectively view leaders with ex

41、tremely high intellect as less effective. Decades ago, Dean Simonton, a psychologist from the University of California, Davis, proposed that brilliant leaders words may simply go over peoples heads, their solutions could be more complicated to carry out and followers might find it harder to relate t

42、o them. Now Simonton and two colleagues have finally tested that idea, publishing their results in the July 2017 issue of the Journal of Applied Psychology.The researchers looked at 379 male and female business leaders in 30 countries across fields including banking, retail and technology. The manag

43、ers took IQ tests and each was rated on leadership style and effectiveness by an average of eight co-workers. IQ positively correlated （和.正相关）with ratings of leader effectiveness, strategy formation, vision and several othercharacteristicsup to a point. The ratings peaked（峰值） at an IQ of around 120,

44、 which is higher than roughly 80 percent of office workers. Beyond that, the ratings declined(降低). The researchers suggest the ideal IQ could be higher or lower in various fields, to 140 or 100, depending on whether technical or social skills are more valued in a given work culture.Its an interestin

45、g and thoughtful paper,” says Paul Sackett, a management professor atUniversity of Minnesota, who was not involved in the research. “To me, the right interpretation（理解） of the work would be that it highlights（强调） a need to understand what high-IQ leaders do that leads to lower understanding by follo

46、wers,” he says. “The wrong interpretation would be, “Dont hire high-IQ leaders.The studys lead author, John Antonakis, a psychologist at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland, suggests leaders should use their intelligence to use creative language that will persuade and inspire othersthe way for

47、mer U.S. President Barack Obama did. I think the only way a smart person can signal their intelligence properly and still connect with the people,” Antonakis says, is to speak in charming ways.32.The reason why those with high IQs are viewed as worse leaders is probably that.A.followers think of the

48、ir leaders to be less effectiveB.their IQ has a positive correlation with leader effectivenessC.they are hard to get their plans across to followersD.their social skills cant be recognized in some work culture33.Which of the following graphs shows the correct relationship between IQ points and leade

49、rship qualities?34.To improve their leadership, high-IQ leaders can.A.interpret the work they are involved in B.use inspiring and accessible languageC.take a course in leader effectiveness D.communicate more with their followers35What could be the best title for the passage?A.A way to success for hi
