一遍。 A English teacher and Inter entrepreneur (企業(yè)家 ) Jack Ma founded Alibaba 18years ago in his tiny apartment in Hangzhou, China. Now, Ma has bee the richest man in China. Every current entrepreneur and business leader should learn from how a Chinese English teacher became such a great success. Start here, go anywhere. Recognizing the importance of English, young Ma would ride his bike to a nearby hotel and guide foreigners around the city just to learn and practice the language. He has vision and he had help. Ma saw the Inter’s enormous potential to bridge businesses across China’s huge population early on. So he and his wife brought 17 friends together and pooled $ 60,000 to start the pany. That formed the basis for the pany’s dynamic partnership structure and unique culture. Big problems lead to big opportunities. China’s lack of infrastructure (基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施 ) has always been a problem for the enormous nation’s small businesses. Alibaba solved that and now accounts for 80% of the country’s emerce. Innovation es from unique individuals who think and act differently. Everyone talks about changing the world and making tones of money these days, but those who actually do it are exceptional individuals with breakthrough ideas, unmon vision and a passion to do great work.

Passionate and considerate B Cheating has been around forever, and millions of ways to cheat have been fashioned. Copying homework and cheat sheets are some of the most basic ways. Desperate students have even gone as far as to steal the test or scan in bottle wrappers and put answers into the nutrition label. The Inter has now bee available in almost every location, which opens a doorway for even more methods of cheating to be born. There are countless opinions on whether or not cheating can be justified. Students often rationalize their cheating by claiming they fot to look over the material or did not understand what the teacher was saying. Some other reasons students believe cheating is justified are their heavy workloads and they are struggling to find time for school, sports and etc. The majority of students who think cheating is acceptable may believe the reason for this is that there is not enough time given for assignments, or that the information is too much for the course. It may be difficult to acplish, but cheating can be prevented. Teachers and professors have tried many options to stop cheating, from simply spreading testtakers out in a room, to expelling(驅(qū)逐) a student. One simple way to fix the problem is to scold the student when caught. They may be so scared or embarrassed that they never do it again. This is a risky way to prevent cheating in some cases, however, because it can possibly damage selfesteem. Another simple way to avoid cheating is to create many different kinds of the same test, but students still have the option of using other cheating tactics. There may be a million ways to cheat and get away with it, but there are few times, if any, that it is justified. Cheating never has to be a necessity. This problem is spreading throughout America。選項中有兩項為多余選項。 增加:在缺詞處加一個漏字符號 (∧ ),并在其下面寫出該加的詞。 參考詞匯:印刷錯誤 misprint (n.)
