10、cause it seemed like a good way to reach others and share what we had learned. However, we were doubtful. Could we really do it? What if no one liked it? What if we failed? What ifWe had to think differently As teens, we had little to lose by trying and a lot to lose by letting this opportunity slip

11、 by so we decided to give it a shot. Locked up in our small 10x10 foot bedroom, which reached 103 degrees on hot summer days, we just started writing. We wrote a list of goals, people we wanted to meet, things we wanted to own, as well as inspirational quotationsanything to keep us focused and motiv

12、ated. A few weeks later, a family friend offered us two tickets to a local business conference where Jack Canfield was the keynote speaker. The event was a valuable experience and at the end of it, we waited in line for over thirty minutes to personally speak with Jack. We shared our book idea with

13、him and he didnt laugh! Instead, he offered us the support, encouragement, and insight we needed to realize our goal. We finally completed our first book, Cool Stuff They Should Teach in School. The full process took three and a half years of hard work and sacrifices, but in the end, it was worth ev

14、ery minute. It was such a strange but rewarding feeling to walk into a bookstore and see our book on the shelves. Since its publication, we have enjoyed seeing its impact on other young people and receiving e-mails from readers almost every day. Sure enough, requests to speak at various venues soon

15、came rolling in. All of us have opportunities around each day, but most people dont recognize them because theyre often disguised as hard work. It comes down to our ability to see problems as opportunities and our willingness to take a leap of faith without the guarantee of success. As Michael Nolan

16、 once said, “Its not who we are that holds us back; its who we think were not.”24. The author and his brother decided to write a book _.

19、 we are eating more fish than ever before. Aquaculture (水产养殖) production has tripled in the last two decades to meet this need, and another historic move was made by the FDA earlier this year, when a company received the first ever nod to sell a genetically modified salmon, a bioengineered version o

20、f the Atlantic salmon. US based AquaBounty, the firm which received the go-ahead, said it would begin stocking fish in supermarkets “as soon as possible.” The first commercial harvest is expected at the end of 2020. At the moment, Argentina, Brazil and China have also granted environmental approvals

21、 for genetically modified fish farming trials. This genetically modified salmon is actually a fish injected with the DNA of two other edible fish. The long road to the current version of the GM fish began in the 1980s when a physiologist named Garth Fletcher read about the work being done to genetic

22、ally modify mice and wondered whether it could apply to salmon. He understood that the fishs growth hormones are most active in some seasons and considered changing this so that the hormones are always active. Cut to 2019, Fletchers GM fish is able to reach adult size in 16 to 18 months, compared wi

23、th 30 months for natural Atlantic salmon, while consuming 25% less feed. In the United States, Atlantic salmon is endangered, so catching it is heavily restricted. It is currently imported from Chile, Norway and Canada. If the production and sales of AquaBounty go as planned, this will all change. A

24、nd simultaneously, the company claims that farming the fish in their land-based hatcheries will lower the transportation cost as well as emissions associated with importing the fish as is currently done. This has not all been without stiff opposition, and protesters who have sent nearly 2 million co

25、mments to the FDA have had issues on three main fronts. Health risks, being the main one, as it has been with several other genetically modified foods in the past. The environmental group Earth Action says no one can predict what will happen when people start eating the fish over time.28. What can w

26、e learn about AquaBounty? A. It is a firm located in Argentina. B. It performs research into GM fish. C. It deals with the production and sales of fish. D. It is the only firm allowed to produce GM fish. 29. One of the advantages of the GM salmon is that _. A. it has proved to have no health risks B

27、. it costs 25% less than imported salmonC. it can meet peoples ever increasing need D. it grows faster than natural Atlantic salmon30. Protesters again GM salmon worry that _. A. fish markets will be seriously disturbed B. GM food has potential health problems C. GM salmon may not be up to the stand

28、ard D. the environmental group Earth Action will not be satisfied 31. The underlined word “this” in the last paragraph probably refers to _. A. the nod to sell a GM salmon B. the lower cost of GM salmon C. the prediction about what will happen D. the import of salmon from Chile, Norway and Canada D

29、Italy and China has agreed to jointly advance the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) (一带一路), which aims to build a trade and infrastructure network to connect Asia with Europe and Africa along ancient trade routes. Italy will use this opportunity to cooperate with China to develop it

30、s northern ports and the InvestItalia program, and promote cooperation in all fields. Despite some skepticism, the BRI has developed into one of the worlds largest cooperation platforms and become a hot public good. More than 120 countries and 29 international organizations have signed agreements wi

31、th China up to date, bringing all sorts of development opportunities to parties of the BRI, including the construction of Kenyas first high-speed expressway, the first cross-sea bridge in the Maldives, and the formation of the car industry in Belarus. The inclusion of Italy into the BRI makes Italy

32、the first G7 country to formally join the Initiative, and sets a new milestone in the process of building the Belt and Road. What makes the BRI unique is that it is an initiative for win-win cooperation rather than zero-sum competition. As everyone knows, the BRI has its origin in the ancient Silk R

33、oad trade route that linked China with many places in the world, including the Italian cities of Rome and Venice. Italy is a natural fit for the ambitious project because of its historical connections with China, and also because of the need to be open rather than closed, to cooperate rather than co

34、nfront. In this fast-changing world, seeking win-win progress is the best path forward for all countries. In China, it is said that without a big breakthrough in thinking, there will be no big leap in practice; and without a big leap in practice, there will be no great development. A number of Chine

35、se ideas and initiatives have been formed with the goal of building a community of common destiny in mind. Under the BRI, we can expect China to deepen policy coordination, facilities connectivity, free trade, financial integration, and people-to-people bonds. The revival of China as a great power i
