domestication(2017·合肥一中、芜湖一中等六校联考)School children are using mobile phone applications to do their homework，which em to be increasing during summer vacations.But instead of blaming students for their behavior，we should say no to too much homework.This is important becau by using mobile phone applications to
do their homework，students don't add much to their knowledge，says an article in Guangzhou－bad Yangcheng Evening News.Excerpts (摘录)：
Using mobile phone applications to do homework is no different from copying from someone el's work.This is the opinion of a vast majority of teachers.Students who ek cell phone apps help to do their homework will pay_dearly during major exams when they cannot ek the help of such applications，the teachers say.
The heavy load of homework Chine students are burdened with，said to be the heaviest in the world，
has led to the popularity of the applications.
Senior high school students in China rarely go to bed before 11 p．m.A report
in Shanghai published in 2013 showed that students in the city on average spend 28.2 hours in class every week，the 9th highest among 65 countries and regions surveyed.Also，they spend an average of 13.8 hours a week doing homework，most in the world.
There is no association between the amount of homework one does and the amount of knowledge one gathers.In fact，a rearch by Australian experts shows that the
result is exactly the opposite: the more hours students spend doing homework，the less effective they will be in gaining knowledge.
The United States is one of the countries where students do little homework，but that has not damaged the country's academic status in the world.
So，it's time Chine schools understood this fact and freed students of the
unnecessary burden of homework.

(2017·海淀区高三年级第一学期期末)Conventional wisdom is a major barrier to innovation that threatens the survival of companies everywhere.It's bad on the
assumption that old ideas will always work，so they shouldn't be challenged.While
this may be a valid assumption in situations that don't change，it's unlikely to
hold true in a changing situation.
In today's rapid changing global environment，old methods often don't work，and stubbornly using them can lead to major problems.Most people em to agree with conventional wisdom becau it gives one a fal n of curity.If everyone el believes it，then it must be true.Individuals who u conventional wisdom are certain that they are right，and being right is good.They want to continue using old ideas
rather than take risks with changes that might not work.In 1977，Ken Oln，co －founder and CEO of Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC)，stated “There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home.” Despite being a dominant leader in the computer industry，DEC no longer exists.
People em to forget that since innovation is a change，there can be no innovation without change.Unfortunately，conventional wisdom prevents leaders，followers and companies from changing and therefore innovating.If companies don't
innovate，but their competitors do，the future is likely to be problematic.Breaking from conventional wisdom has led to many of the most innovative companies and
products in history across many industries，so it has a powerful effect on business success.born和borne的区别
Ted Turner (founder of CNN) knew little，if anything，about the news business，but he knew it was inconvenient to watch news only at the dinner hour，as was common before CNN.Turner's solution was to create a cable channel dedicated to news 24 hours a day.The news establishment reflected conventional wisdom at the time，and predicted his idea would fail becau no one wanted to watch the news all day.However,
it_doesn't_take_a_rocket_scientist_to_understand_that_viewers_don't_have_to_watissues
ch_the_news_all_day_for_the_CNN_to_work. Viewers just have to watch when they want to get information.Due to conventional thinking，the critics failed to recognize
the opportunity that was clear to Ted.They assumed that only what was familiar to
them could work in the future.
Conventional wisdom prevents creativity，flexibility and risk－taking，so unconventional leaders enthusiastically break from it.To survive，thrive and maintain competitive advantage，companies must be flexible when reacting to change.
语篇解读：本文讲述的是传统思想阻碍了经济的发展以及企业打破传统思想的必要性。
