【題目】Apple is to open a research lab in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, according to Tim Cook, its chief executive, as it seeks to boost sales in the country and improve ties with the authorities.

Beijing has been encouraging foreign technology companies to carry out more high-end work on the mainland as part of efforts to revitalize local industry.

It will be Apple’s second facility in China. It already has a new research and development facility in Beijing.

The two R&D centers were “aimed at strengthening relationships with local partners and universities as we work to support talent development across the country”, Apple said in a statement.

A closer relationship with the Chinese authorities has been a priority following setbacks for the US technology company this year.

The iPhone has been losing market share to high-end handsets made by local competitors including Huawei, Vivo and Oppo, which topped the rankings in the second quarter, while Apple languished in fifth place, according to Canalys data.

Analysts said the announcement of the R&D centre was Mr. Cook’s latest attempt to gain favour with Beijing, following the US group’s $1billion investment in Didi Chuxing, the Chinese car-hailing company, in May.

Apple has had to change its approach in China as it faces rising nationalism and high-quality local competition, according to Ge Jia, a tech blogger, who wrote yesterday: “It’s time for Apple to cast aside their pride.” “Their previous strategy of only selling devices to China without leaving anything behind is not working any more and they are starting their process of localisation in China through the Shenzhen lab.”

【1】Apple is going to open a research lab in Shenzhen to _____________.

A. promote Shenzhen’s economy

B. promote its sales in China

C. get help of Chinese experts

D. join in local competition

【2】Which of the following is true?

A. There is only one research facility in China.

B. Apple has always been in good relationship with Chinese authorities.

C. Huawei has ranked to No.1 in the second sales quarter.

D. Apple is changing its strategy in order to boost sales.

【3】What caused Apple’s sales in China to fall?

A. Its bad quality and high price.

B. Nationalism and high-quality local competition.

C. Out-of-date design and false advertisement.

D. Chinese government’s ban on purchase.

【4】According to Ge Jia, what is Apple’s previous sales approach in China?

A. taking part in high-quality local competition.

B. choosing certain customers in China.

C. only selling devices.

D. selling devices as well as technology.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】D

【3】B

【4】C

【題目】The London Underground is one of the best transport networks in the world with around 24 million journeys made each day, so it is important that everything runs smoothly. Remember the following to travel like a Londoner.

Keep right on escalator(自動梯）

London Underground asks that you stand on the right when using the escalators and leave the left free for others to walk down.

Remember the “rush hour”

The tube network is very busy during the rush hour. You can expect the trains and stations to be overcrowded between 7:30 and 9:30 in the morning and between 17:00 and 19:00 in the evening.

Move down the platform to find more space

As you enter the station platform, you will often find more room if you walk down to the end of the platform. Here, the train carriages are usually the emptiest as well.

Carry a bottle of water in warmer moths

The London Underground is over 150 years old and although the trains have been modernized, many still lack air conditioning and cooling units. Make sure you take a bottle of water with you, especially in the summer, as the long tube journeys can get very hot.

Keep your personal belongings safe

Like any large city be cautions of pickpockets operating in the busy stations and tubes. Carry a bag with zips and keep your personal belongings and valuable items in it to avoid becoming the victims of theft.

How do your children deal with money? How can parents help their children understand money? As far as I’m concerned, 【1】 So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.

The basic function of money

Explain the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the thing he wants to have. If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier(收銀員). 【2】 When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.

Money lessons

You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money. 【5】 If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases.

There is no doubt whether setting a goal is very important. By set goals you are

taking control of your life. It is having a map to guide you to where you want to head.

With a clear direction, and with certain plans, you will straightly get what you want. On the contrary, without the goal, you do not know where to go or what you want. Then your life becomes dull or meaningless just like the dead water in a muddy lake.

We find that successful people were always those having and achieving their goal.

They set goals, short-term or long-run, to help realize our dreams. Therefore, from my point of view, we should make clear what we really want it and follow our plans as many winners do.
