Most children own a smartphone by the age of 10, and this has in turn led to increasing H on youngsters to look perfect in their D life, a study has found. The youth charity YMCA spoke to more than 1,000 young people aged between 11 and 16. They found that 62% of 15- to 16-year-olds felt that social media had increased expectations over their personal appearance. Photoshopped images and the sharing of only the most flattering shots shifted young people's understanding of what a normal body looked like, the charity said. Ideals of physical perfection were also said to be I by celebrity culture, with 58% of 11- to 16-year-olds identifying it as the main influence. Denise Hatton, the chief executive for YMCA England and Wales, said, "We've all been guilty of only posting our most flattering pictures on social media. While there's nothing wrong with wanting to show yourself from your best A, it's important that we still like ourselves when we're not looking our best, which is probably the majority of the time for most of us." Social media was already a(n) M among 11- to 12-year-olds, with 43% of those surveyed claiming individuals they saw online influenced them. The charity has joined Dove, the health and beauty products company, for its Be Real Campaign, which is asking people to sign up to its body image pledge, I Pledge to Be Real. It urges social media users to stop F their pictures. Hatton said, "Today's beauty standard is completely unobtainable, leading us to C feel bad about our bodies and looks. This is particularly the case for young people and it can have serious effects on their mental and physical G. It's time to take back control of how we feel about our bodies and celebrate our real self so that everyone can feel confident in their body." Increasing numbers of L studies have found that mental health problems have soared among girls over the past O, coinciding with the period in which young people's use of social media has exploded.

Cities are getting smarter every day, so are their transit options. One emerging option is autonomous vehicles (AVs), or simply cars with self-driving B. However, as experts say, before we enter a reality where AVs are F into our daily lives, we will see the continued rise of electric vehicles (EVs) all over the world. Besides saving costs for consumers, EVs can bring many N benefits to the environment because they use electricity instead of gas to drive their wheels. Many large cities are trying to encourage the use of EVs by installing public charging stations throughout the city and M the vehicle registration process. At the same time, many automakers are working to G the charging speed of EVs and to make EVs more A. As the use of EVs rises, greater C will be placed on the power industry. In some areas where energy resources are stressed already, the increasing use of EVs could well E the electrical supply system. EVs can also impact urban planning. Thus, consideration of commute options, location of charging stations, and open data should be part of a city's future mobility plans. It is important for automakers to partner with urban planners and utility companies to provide K experiences for consumers and residents. Imagine one day a driverless EV picks you up and drops you off, and then L to the location of the next passenger without ever stopping to recharge because of wireless power transfer from nearby energy sources. The technology is on the way, but we need to wait for our cities and energy industry to get ready as well.

What Is Adversity Quotient? Most of us have heard of emotional quotient (EQ) and intelligence quotient (IQ) but very few people have heard or known of adversity quotient (AQ). According to Stolz (1997) adversity quotient is the most widely used way of measuring and strengthening human J. AQ is rooted in three sciences; cognitive psychology, psychoneuroimmunology, and neurophysiology. Stolz ( 1997 ) further suggested that AQ is about how one E to life especially the tough times many people H every day. AQ is a gauge to measure how you respond to and deal with challenges and adversities that many times catch us totally off F and unprepared. Many people talk about EQ so much that AQ is often L as the one intelligence that actually is equally if not more important to our existence than emotional intelligence. Let me explain my logic behind this last sentence. If we look at what AQ enhances or transforms first you will get a better idea of what this writer is B to convey. AQ enhances or transforms the following according to PeakLearning.com; productivity, agility, problem-solving, morale, performance, change, engagement with others, development, leadership, optimism, and culture to D a few. As you can see from some of the areas just G that can be transformed, many of those areas are part of what makes up one's emotional intelligence. If we engage with others, haven't those people realized their strengths or weaknesses in working with others? If AQ allows us to C change much easier, then have we not allowed ourselves the opportunity to accept situations and people more readily? Isn't that what EQ is mostly about? Being able to keep one's emotions in line so that we can better understand each other and show E towards others when needed.

Jack MacDonald, a Seattle man, left a fortune worth $187.6 million to charity after living a frugal and humble life. The E was the largest charitable gift in Washington State in 2013. MacDonald struck people as a man without much money. He A coupons to save money on groceries, wore sweaters with holes, and took a bus to attend alumni luncheons. He once bought so many cans of frozen juice at a bargain price that he had to M a new freezer to hold them. MacDonald left 40 percent of his fortune to Seattle Children's Research Institute to support a variety of J research in childhood diseases, although he had no L of his own. He was born in British Columbia, Canada, grew up in Seattle, and worked as a lawyer for three decades. He did not get married until he was in his 50s. MacDonald made a huge fortune by investing in the stock market. After his parents died, he received a large family I. He never thought about buying any luxuries although he had F wealth at his disposal. Material possessions weren't important to him. MacDonald might have been eccentric in some ways, but he always acted on his B to do good with his wealth. Over the years, he contributed to hundreds of causes and organizations. He also sent anonymous gifts to a small town in Canada where his grandparents lived after they G there from Scotland. In July 2013, MacDonald was hospitalized due to a serious head injury that would eventually lead to his death. In the two months before he died, he insisted on using inexpensive ordinary drugs so that his treatment wouldn't H additional costs. He once said he would like to be remembered as a philanthropist ( 慈善家 ). With his generosity and selflessness, surely he has been.

The Basic Job Hunting Tips Update your CV—Does CV format matter? Sure it does—but only for visualization. You don't want your CV to be cluttered. Keep it simple and O. The most important thing in CV writing is to showcase your skills and experience. Mine is a 3-page CV B only my skills, experience and achievements. I have excluded sections such as career F, which I personally think don't count and merely take up CV space. Use the limited space to present G information. Also, be sure to use keywords that M look for. For auditors, examples would be IFRS, consolidation, COSO, internal controls, data analytics, project management, etc. You may also want to prepare a cover letter as it is sometimes required. Create a job profile—I wasted no time in creating my candidate profile on several job portals like Seek, Indeed, Careerone, Jorah, Jobactive, RobertHalf, Hays, Charterhouse, etc. But to be I, out of all of these job sites, I found Seek, Indeed and Jorah to be the most useful. I spent 2 to 3 hours every day L through these websites and sending my applications out. Email the recruiter directly—Most of the time, the job posts A the contact information of the recruiter (name, email, contact number). As a second step, I directly sent emails to the recruiters with my CV D. LinkedIn helps, too—I also upgraded to LinkedIn Premium account and sent Inmails directly to recruiters. You can only send up to 5 Inmails per month, so I sent messages related to the jobs I really liked and where I felt I had the greatest chance of being interviewed. I have to mention at this point that I E my job through LinkedIn.

How to Play the Game You don't need to exploit work relationships for your own self-interest to get ahead. But it is smart to B with others and try to earn their trust and exert influence—that's how true leaders grow. Here are some aboveboard strategies for earning political clout without H your integrity. Keep your eye on the prize Suppose you have a brilliant idea and your goal is to simply see it come to fruition. This is where F with an "in-group" colleague can work in your favor if you're willing to give up a portion of the spotlight, says Lee. "You may need to share credit for an idea, but partnering with your colleague increases the J of it being adopted," he says. Be like Switzerland Say a colleague slips into your office, acts as though you're his confidant, and tries to ask for your allegiance in some way. Evans says you can avoid taking the bait by M impartiality (公正), or even carefully changing the subject. "Often the best course of action is to deflect. Your response might sound something like, 'I've just been so K on this project I haven't had time to think about other things. Have you ever dealt with a project like this?'" Call it out When there are underhanded office politics at play, sometimes it might be worth bringing the L to light, says Evans. Going back to his situation with the power-hungry managers, the company decided to deal with the situation head-on. In a meeting, the D asked each manager to put together a six-month plan of how their teams will G the new products with cost estimates and revenue projections if they were given the opportunity. "This immediately halted the backchannel discussions and underhanded efforts and encouraged team members to O what they want instead of leveraging political clout," says Evans.【缺少答案，请补充】

When I was young, I had a very narrow understanding of beauty. I used to A it with only physical things. It was about what the eye could see: soft hair, clear skin, M clothes, a good figure... I think some other people may also have gone through this phase of wanting the perfect shell defined solely in terms of I standards. When I first entered the modeling industry, I was always L to conform to others' criteria of beauty. I would think, "Well, if they say I'm beautiful, then I am. But if they don't, then I'm not." Even today, I can't believe how K my thoughts were. I want to correct this narrow idea that our beauty comes from the notions and approval of other people. When we allow others to determine what is beautiful, we fail to express and accept our individuality, our unique physical and personal O. I think we should ask ourselves the question "What is beautiful to me?" and construct our own C of beauty that are more comprehensive and more meaningful. As time goes on, I have gradually expanded my definitions of beauty, without limiting them to what lies on the outside. I have started to realize that physical beauty won't last forever because we humans are all H and will grow old inevitably. I have met many strong and courageous women, for example, a friend who N breast cancer and a cousin who works hard to provide for her child. I have also met many women who are devoted to their careers. Their confidence radiates from their D to their professional pursuits. These women are examples of beautiful actions and thoughts. They embrace being themselves.【缺少答案，请补充】

(填字母选项，填单词不得分) China's Technology Hub Has an All-Electric Bus Fleet 240 of the buses here, at Shanghai Bashi's second-division depot, are fully electric, and it seems likely that, next year, no B engine will enter the premises at all. In an effort to curb pollution and noise, China's most E city expects the substitution of all traditional vehicles in its public transport system to be completed two years ahead of schedule. That helps explain why the queue of buses has moved on so swiftly to the washing tunnel. "EV [electric vehicle] buses use a high voltage system that M a lot of static electricity and, therefore, catches a lot of dust," says depot manager Li Hong. "We can't use water to clean the engine, so we have installed a high-pressure, dry-ice cleaning machine. It's more expensive than O cleaning because the tunnel requires a powerful vacuum system to catch all the dust [which is stored in drawers inside the wall], but we save water and reduce the amount of particles in the air even further." Nicknamed Black King Kongs, Yutong buses are the D addition to Shanghai's municipal fleet. Although they don't make much noise—"Around 50 decibels (分贝), half of what a combustion engine can create," Li says—and so tend to catch jaywalkers (不遵守交通规则乱穿马路的人) by surprise, they are safer in other ways. Zhang Hui, a Shanghai Bashi driver on Route 189, points to a black box on the dashboard of his Yutong. "This has a camera and the system can tell if I'm tired or distracted and sound a(n) G," says Zhang. Li dismisses widespread concerns about exploding batteries, "They've proven to be completely reliable and safe." One of four electric models acquired by Shanghai since 2016, the Black King Kong is also comfortable. Zhang is A happy with his seat, which heats in winter and cools in summer. Passengers do not benefit from that particular luxury but seem to approve of the spacious, silent interior and the new ticket machines, which accept transportation cards, QR Codes generated by smartphones, the near field communication (NFC) chips of smartphones, even good old-fashioned J. "But the most important thing is the range of the vehicle, because it can run up to 220 km even with the heating on," says Zhang, pointing at a display that reveals he's traveled 136 km (84.5 miles) today, and the battery I 46 percent of its capacity. "Each year, we purchase buses with a longer range and higher specifications for less money," says Li. "EV technology K fast and the maintenance is easier than with combustion engines because these vehicles have fewer moving parts."

It's true that greenhouses consume resources, but making the correct choices when you design, build, and run your greenhouses can make your growing operation more sustainable. Typical greenhouse operation consumes ____ amounts of plastic, from the plastic film covering on many greenhouses, to the plastic packaging of soil and fertilizers. Choosing recyclable materials, both in the ____ of greenhouses and in their everyday operation, is one effective way to run sustainable greenhouses. By their very nature, greenhouses are good at collecting energy from the ____ sun and using it to warm or heat their ____ to the appropriate temperature. Passive solar design, which doesn't use mechanical or electrical ____ but simply a building's own structure to capture and store solar energy, is usually most people's choice for their greenhouses. Meanwhile, allowing for adequate control of ____ when you design greenhouses minimizes the need for electric fans and other energy-consuming cooling solutions. A good greenhouse design also considers the installation of thermal-banking system, a process that uses the sun to heat water and then ____ the water underground, where it can be used to heat the greenhouse in cooler weather. Though the thermal-banking project sounds a little ____ due to the extra design and work it requires, it helps make the operation of the greenhouse more sustainable. The operation of a greenhouse consumes energy and uses a lot of water as well. To ____ this problem, you can replace traditional lighting with more energy-efficient LED lighting, and build a rainwater collection and storage system. These methods can significantly ____ energy and water costs though some more investments are needed at first.
