2. Blake Mycoskie t up five business, but later he sold them all at a profit. Feeling a bit burned out from work, Mycoskie decided to give it a break for a while and headed down to Argentina for some rest. But rest isn't really part of a businessman's make-up. It's in their nature to keep having good business ideas.
give的过去式On a visit to a village outside Buenos Aires, he was shocked to e that many children didn’t have any shoes or, if they did，the shoes were badly worn. Since shoes—particularly the local farmers，canvas(帆布的)shoes—can be bought cheaply in Argentina, Mycoskie5s first instinct(本能) was to t up a charity to donate shoes to the children. But after giving it some thought, he realized that this was not a model that would work. One pair of shoes per child would not make that much difference，
becau they wear out(磨损). And if he asked people to donate repeatedly —to provide new shoes for the same child every six months—the donors，sympathy(同情)for the cau might also wear out pretty quickly.
Instead he came up with the idea of ''TOMS: one-for-one shoes''. He would take the canvas shoe to America, manufacture it and ll it as a high end fashion item at around $ 50 a pair. For each pair he sold he would donate one pair to shoeless village children. That way he could guarantee a continual supply.
Several years on，the business is very successful, supplying shoes not only to children in Argentina but also other parts of the world. But is the one-for-one model one that can be repeated with other products? Mycoskie is doubtful. TOMS is a for-profit business, but does not yet make a profit. He says one-for-one is not an offer that you can just add to your existing business model; you have to build it in from the beginning.
Some would also argue that the charity aspect is just a marketing tool，but in the end does that matter? TOMS is making a real difference to poor children all over the world and Mycoskie is enjoying being a businessman more than ever.
1. Why did Blake Mycoskie go to Argentina?
A．To go for relaxation. B．To ek business cooperation.
C．To look for new business ideas. D．To learn to make canvas shoes.
2. Why didn’t Blake Mycoskie t up a charity?
A．He wasn't interested in running a charity.

3. Many science fiction stories tell about explorers arriving in a new world. The explorers then u some kind of high-tech device to test for breathable air or signs of life. But here on Earth, science fiction is becoming reality through a new sampling technology called environmental DNA, or eDNA for short. Scientists can u it to identify rare species or estimate fish populations with just a little air or water.
Environmental DNA can be ud in two ways. One is to identify the creatures that live in a certain place. The other is to confirm the prence or lack of a specific creature.
Caren Goldberg is one of the first biologists to take the technology from the testing stage to actually
using it. She es eDNA as a way to get answers more efficiently and with less destruction compared to traditional survey techniques. Until recently, scientists
depended on snorkeling ( 潜水), netting or using an electric current to temporarily catch fish.
This newer way to identify what lives in the environment is becoming popular around the world. Animal experts in Vietnam are using the eDNA to find the last, wild Yangtze giant softshell turtles. One rearcher on the Caribbean island of Trinidad is using the sampling technology to find endangered golden treefrogs. In Madagascar, it is being ud to identify amphibian(两栖动物)dias.
Ms Goldberg has ud eDNA testing to confirm the local extinction (灭绝) of a leopard frog in the American state of Idaho. She has also been asked to document the spread of the New Zealand mudsnail in the state of Washington. The creature has been found in lakes and other waterways across the state.
Scientists working with the technology say they do not expect robots to replace field biologists anytime soon. But the old-fashioned field work could soon be more targeted.
1. Compared to traditional survey techniques, eDNA is more______.
A．complex B．eco-friendly
C．dangerous D．convincing
2. By using eDNA, Caren Goldberg has______.
A．succeeded in catching many fishes
B．found the existence of golden treefrogs
C．documented the spread of softshell turtles
D．confirmed the disappearance of the leopard frog in Idaho
3. What can we infer from the last paragraph ?
A．Robots will replace scientists soon.
B．Some scientists are against using eDNA.
C．The old-fashioned field work may disappear.
planta
blousD．Many biologists are unwilling to do the field work.
4. What is the best title for the text?
A．Science Fiction Becomes Reality for Species Surveys
david beckham
B．Biologists Explore Space with the Help of eDNA
C．Scientists Found Methods to Test for Signs of Life
D．New Technologies Are Prented in Science Fictions
4. Crosstalk, a traditional form of comic storytelling, is making a comeback in China’s tea hous and theaters.
Audiences can laugh the night away every Saturday at the Qianxiangyi Teahou in Tianjin, entertained by the apprentices(徒弟) of Hou Baolin, Ma Sanli or Yin Shoushan—all leading crosstalk artists of years past—for only 20 yuan.
The success in Tianjin has also caud the rejuvenation（复活）of crosstalk in Beijing and other places.
Although the art form originated in Beijing in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), Tianjin became a place where rising stars formed their styles and new pieces were tried out. The city was well-known nationwide for the quality of its crosstalk performances.
Known in Chine as xiangsheng (literally, “face and voice”), crosstalk was the chief form of comedy throughout most of the 20th century. In the old days in Tianjin and elwhere, temple fairs and market were the main places for crosstalkers to perform, although they occasionally also appeared in teahous or theaters.
Crosstalk pieces draw on every aspect of Chine culture, from history and folk tales to social issues of the time. Although there’re hundreds of traditional pieces, they’re constantly rewritten to suit the times and the audience, while new works are written as well. It’s one of th e features that have made crosstalk a public art form throughout its history.
“Crosstalk was in the doldrums（萎靡不振）with competition from other art forms, especially TV,” said Wang Xiaochun, headmaster of the Northern Storytelling Arts School of China (NSAS). “But it has regained its status with crosstalk fans, especially young people, growing aware of its rare qualities.”
“More and more students are coming to NSAS to study crosstalk, including some girl students,” said Wang. “We’re sure that crosstalk will have a strong market.”
