Reaping the Rewards of Risk-Taking
A. Since Steve Jobs resigned as chief executive of Apple, much has been said about him as a peerless business leader who has created immense wealth for shareholders, and guided the design of hit products that are transforming entire industries, like music and mobile communications.
B. All true, but lets think different, to borrow the Apple marketing slogan of years back. Lets look at Mr. Jobs as a role model.
C. Above all, he is an innovator (創新者). His creative force is seen in products such as the iPod, iPhone, and iPad, and in new business models for pricing and distributing music and mobile software online. Studies of innovation come to the same conclusion: you cant engineer innovation, but you can increase the odds of it occurring. And Mr. Jobs career can be viewed as a consistent pursuit of improving those odds, both for himself and the companies he has led. Mr. Jobs, of course, has enjoyed singular success. But innovation, broadly defined, is the crucial ingredient in all economic progress--higher growth for nations, more competitive products for companies, and more prosperous careem for individuals. And Mr. Jobs, many experts say, exemplifies what works in the innovation game.
D. "We can look at and learn from Steve Jobs what the essence of American innovation is," says John Kao, an innovation consultant to corporations and governments. Many other nations, Mr. John Kao notes, axe now ahead of the United States in producing what are considered the raw materials of innovation. These include government financing for scientific research, national policies to support emerging industries, educational achievement, engineers and scientists graduated, even the speeds of Internet broadband service.
E. Yet what other nations typically lack, Mr. Kao adds, is a social environment that encourages diversity, experimentation, risk-taking, and combining skills from many fields into products that he calls "recombinant mash-ups (打碎重組)," like the iPhone, which redefined the smartphone category. "The culture of other countries doesnt support the kind of innovation that Steve Jobs exemplifies, as America does," Mr. John Kao says.
F. Workers of every rank are told these days that wide-ranging curiosity and continuous learning are vital to tturiving in the modern economy. Formal education matters, career counselors say, but real- life experience is often even more valuable.
G. An adopted child, growing up in Silicon Valley, Mr. Jobs displayed those traits early on. He wasfascinated by electronics as a child, building Heathkit do-it-yourself projects, like radios. Mr. Jobs dropped out of Reed College after only a semester and traveled around India in search of spiritual enlightenment, before returning to Silicon Valley to found Apple with his friend, Stephen Wozniak, an engineering wizard (奇才). Mr. Jobs was forced out of Apple in 1985, went off and founded two other companies, Next and Pixar, before returning to Apple in 1996 and becoming chiefexecutive in 1997.
H. His path was unique, but innovation experts say the pattern of exploration is not unusual. "Its often people like Steve Jobs who can draw from a deep reservoir of diverse experiences that often generate breakthrough ideas and insights," says Hal Gregersen, a professor at the European Institute of Business Administration.
I. Mr. Gregersen is a co-author of a new book, The Innovators DNA, which is based on an eight-year study of 5,000 entrepreneurs (創業者. and executives worldwide. His two collaborators and co- authors are Jeff Dyer, a professor at Brigham Young University, and Clayton Christensen, a professor at the Harvard Business School, whose 1997 book The Innovators Dilemma popularized the concept of "disruptive ( 顛覆性的. innovation. "
J. The academics identify five traits that are common to the disruptive innovators: questioning, experimenting, observing, associating and networking. Their bundle of characteristics echoes the ceaseless curiosity and willingness to take risks noted by other experts. Networking, Mr. Hal Gregersen explains, is less about career-building relationships than a consistent search for new ideas. Associating, he adds, is the ability to make idea-producing connections by linking concepts from different disciplines.
K. "Innovators engage in these mental activities regularly," Mr. Gregersen says. "Its a habit for them. " Innovative companies, according to the authors, typically enjoy higher valuations in thestock market, which they call an "innovation premium (溢價). " It is calculated by estimating the share of a companys value that cannot be accounted for by its current products and cash flow. The innovation premium tries to quantify ( 量化. investors bets that a company will do even better in the future because of innovation.
L. Apple, by their calculations, had a 37 percent innovation premium during Mr. Jobs first term withthe company. His years in exile resulted in a 31 percent innovation discount. After his return, Applees fortunes inmroved gradv at first, and imp)roved markedly starting in 2005, yielding a 52percent innovation premium since then.
M. There is no conclusive proof, but Mr. Hal Gregersen says it is unlikely that Mr. Jobs could havereshaped industries beyond computing, as he has done in his second term at Apple, without theexperience outside the company, especially at Pixar--the computer-animation (動畫製作. studiothat created a string of critically and commercially successful movies, such as "Toy Story" and
N. Mr. Jobs suggested much the same thing during a commencement address to the graduating class atStanford University in 2005. "It turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing thatcould have ever happened to me," he told the students. Mr. Jobs also spoke of perseverance ( 堅持. and will power. "Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick," he said. "Dont losefaith. "
O. Mr. Jobs ended his commencement talk with a call to innovation, both in ones choice of work andin ones curious, experiment, take risks, he said to the advice wasemphasized by the words on the back of the final edition of The Whole Earth Catalog, which hequoted: "Stay hungry. Stay foolish. " "And," Mr. Jobs said, "I have always wished that formyself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you. "
46. Steve Jobs called on Stanford graduates to innovate in his commencement address.
47. Steve Jobs considered himself lucky to have been fired once by Apple.
48. Steve Jobs once used computers to make movies that were commercial hits.
49. Many governments have done more than the US government in providing the raw materials for innovation.
50. Great innovators are good at connecting concepts from various academic fields.
51. Innovation is vital to driving economic progress.
52. America has a social environment that is particularly favorable to innovation.
53. Innovative ideas often come from diverse experiences.
54. Real-life experience is often more important than formal education for career success.
55. Apples fortunes suffered from an innovation discount during Jobs absence.
Section C
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C. and D ). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on AnswerSheet 2 with a single line through the age OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage. Junk food is everywhere. Were eating way too much of it. Most of us know what were doing andyet we do it heres a suggestion offered by two researchers at the Rand Corporation: Why not take a lessonfrom alcohol control policies and apply them to where food is sold and how its displayed?"Many policy measures to control obesity (肥胖症. assume that people consciously and rationallychoose what and how much they eat and therefore focus on providing information and more access tohealthier foods," note the two researchers. "In contrast," the researchers continue, "many regulations that dont assume people makerational choices have been successfully applied to control alcohol, a substance--like food--of whichimmoderate consumption leads to serious health problems. " The research references studies of peoples behavior with food and alcohol and results of alcoholrestrictions, and then lists five regulations that the researchers think might be pronfising if applied tojunk foods. Among them: Density restrictions: licenses to sell alcohol arent handed out unplanned to all comers but areallotted (分配. based on the number of places in an area that already sell alcohol. These make alcoholless easy to get and reduce the number of psychological cues to drink. Similarly, the researchers say, being presented with junk food stimulates our desire to eat it. Sowhy not limit the density of food outlets, particularly ones that sell food rich in empty calories? Andwhy not limit sale of food in places that arent primarily food stores? Display and sales restrictions: California has a rule prohibiting alcohol displays near the cashregisters in gas stations, and in most places you cant buy alcohol at drive-through facilities. Atsupermarkets, food companies pay to have their wares in places where theyre easily seen. One couldremove junk food to the back of the store and ban them from the shelves at checkout lines. The othermeasures include restricting portion sizes, taxing and prohibiting special price deals for junk foods, andplacing warning labels on the products.

B. They provide misleading information.
C. They are based on wrong assumptions.
D. They help people make rational choices.
58. Why do policymakers of alcohol control place density restrictions?
A. Few people are able to resist alcohols temptations.
B. There are already too many stores selling alcohol.
C. Drinldng strong alcohol can cause social problems.
D. Easy access leads to customers over-consumption~
59. What is the purpose of Californias rule about alcohol display in gas stations?
A. To effectively limit the density of alcohol outlets.
B. To help drivers to give up the habit of drinking.
C. To prevent possible traffic jams in nearby areas.
D. To get alcohol out of drivers immediate sight.

Passage Two
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following ks decision to file for bankruptcy (破產. protection is a sad, though not unexpected, turningpoint for a leading American corporation that pioneered consumer photography and dominated the filmmarket for decades, but ultimately failed to adapt to the digital revolution. Although many attribute Kodaks downfall to "complacency ( 自滿 )," that explanation doesntacknowledge the lengths to which the company went to reinvent itself. Decades ago, Kodak anticipatedthat digital photography would overtake film--and in fact, Kodak invented the first digital camera in1975--but in a fateful decision, the company chose to shelf its new discovery to focus on its traditionalfilm business. It wasnt that Kodak was blind to the future, said Rebecca Henderson, a professor at HarvardBusiness School, but rather that it failed to execute on a strategy to confront it. By the time thecompany realized its mistake, it was too k is an example of a firm that was very much aware that they had to adapt, and spent a lot ofmoney trying to do so, but ultimately failed. Large companies have a difficult time switching to newmarkets because there is a temptation to put existing assets into the new businesses.
Although Kodak anticipated the inevitable rise of digital photography, its corporate
culture was too rooted in the successes of the past for it to make the clean break necessary to fullyembrace the future. They were a company stuck in time. Their history was so important to them. Nowtheir history has become a ks downfall over the last several decades was dramatic. In 1976, the company commanded90% of the market for photographic film and 85% of the market for cameras. But the 1980s broughtnew competition from Japanese film company Fuji Photo, which undermined Kodak by offering lowerprices for film and photo supplies. Kodaks decision not to pursue the role of official film for the 1984Los Angeles Olympics was a major miscalculation. The bid went instead to Fuji, which exploited itssponsorship to win a permanent foothold in the marketplace.
61. What do we learn about Kodak?
A. It went bankrupt all of a sudden.
B. It is approaching its downfall.
C. It initiated the digital revolution in the film industry.
D. It is playing the dominant role in the film market.
62. Why does the author mention Kodaks Invention of the first digital camera?
A. To show its early attempt to reinvent itself.
B. To show its effort to overcome complacency.
C. To show its quick adaptation to the digital revolution.
D. To show its will to compete with Japans Fuji Photo.

在西方人心目中，和中國聯絡最為密切的基本食物是大米。長期以來，大米在中國人的飲食中佔據很重要的地位，以至於有諺語說“巧婦難為無米之炊”。中國南方大多種植水稻，人們通常以大米為主食;而華北大部分地區因為過於寒冷或過於乾燥，無法種植水稻，那裡的主要作物是小麥。在中國，有些人用麵粉做麵包，但大多數人用麵粉做饅頭和麵條。

Part IWriting
這是一篇四級考試中常見的圖畫作文。圖片中展現的是一個女孩告訴媽媽她考入了媽媽心中理想的學校，其寓意是揭露現如今的家長為孩子做重大決定的普遍現象。
做自己命運的主人
正如圖片中生動描繪的那樣，一個女孩正在告訴她的媽媽：“好訊息，我被你選擇的大學錄取了。”但諷刺的是，“你選擇的”這幾個字揭露了一個事實，那就是這個剛剛被實現的夢想並不屬於這個女孩。
現如今的一個普遍現象是父母為孩子做很多決定，甚至在他們人生的重大轉折點，包括選擇大學和專業、找工作或是結婚：很多原因可以解釋這一現象。首先，父母總是認為他們可以比孩子做出更明智的決定。而且，對於家裡的獨生子女，父母給予了太多的關注。此外，父母讓孩子做他們想讓孩子做的事情，好像這是實現他們自己未實現的夢想的唯一途徑。
對青少年來說，人生道路很漫長。他們最終要自己做決定。而成為自己命運的主人是成長過程中的一大步。

Lets start withpower. Its clear that petrol-driven engines have no future. Already there are many alternative fuel vehicles onthe market, powered by anything from solar power to natural gas.

作為一名老師，你可以用很多種方法把社群搬到你的教室裡。學生的父母和祖父母對孩子們來說走貧源又是(36)資產。他們可以成為傳授其個人傳統和歷史的(37)優秀老師。外來移民的家長可以談論他們(38)本土國以及他們為什麼要移民到美國。家長們可以被邀請來談論他們的工作或是一個社群專案。當然，家長們並不是唯一的社群資源。當地企業的員工或是社群機構人員都有著(39)最新的資訊可以在課堂中分享。
實地考察為我們提供了另一個瞭解社群的機會。很多學生除了通過實地考察，沒有機會(40)參加音樂會或是參觀博物館和歷史景點。一個學區應該有選擇和實施實地考察的(41)指導方針。每個家庭應該對實地考察(42)有一定認識且允許孩子參加。 通過校園的專案，學生們可以學習(43)參與一些社群活動，從植樹到清理公園再到幫助老年人。學生們，(44)尤其是年齡大一些的，可以進行可能會使市政府或州政府採取行動的社群需求方面的調研。一些學校要求學生提供社群服務，比如在養老院、幼兒託管所或是政府機構裡(45)做志願服務。這些專案有助於學生們理解他們對更大社群的責任.

ets
為名詞，故空格處也應填入一個名詞。前句中提到，作為一名老師，你可以用很多種方法把社群搬到你的教室。父母和祖父母是孩子們的資源，且後文中又表述了他們可以教給孩子們的東西，結合resources和備選名詞可知，assets“資產，財產”為答案。備選的名詞中，9uidelines意為“指導方針”，origin意為“起源”，均不適合來解釋父母和祖父母的角色，不符合句意，故均排除。
37. E. excellent
詞。除去空格處的詞義外，句意為：他們可以成為傳授其個人傳統和歷史的老師。用某個形容詞來修飾teachers，備選的形容詞中，只有excellent“優秀的”符合句意，故為答案。備選的形容詞中，aware“意識到的”、expensive“昂貴的”、involved“有關的”和up—to—date“最新的”均不可修飾teachers，故均排除。
38. L. origin
詞。country of origin為固定搭配，意思是“起源國，原產國”，這裡指的是移民的本土國，故0rigin“起源”為答案。備選的名詞中，guidelines意為“指導方針”，顯然不符合句意，故排除。
39. N. up-to-dateo
為形容詞。該句句意為：當地企業的員工或是社群機構人員都有著一資訊可以在課堂中分享。根據常識判斷，和上文中提到的家長相比，企業的員工和社群機構人員能夠給孩子們帶來更前沿的資訊，而up-t0date“最新的”恰好符合句意，故為答案。備選的形容詞中，aware“意識到的”、expensive“昂貴的”和involved“有關的”均不符合句意，故均排除。
40. B. attend
為動詞原形。此處意思是很多學生沒有機會去參加音樂會，故attend“參加”為答案。備選的動詞原形observe意為“觀察”，不符合句意，故排除。
41. G. guidelines
故該空格處應為名詞。上文中提到了實地考察給學生們帶來的好處。再根據整句句意一個學區應該有選擇和實施實地考察的——。故guidelines“指導方針”為答案。
42. C. awareo
主動語態，此處應是be——0f，故推測空格處為形容詞。固定搭配be aware of意為“知道，有一定認識”，符合句意，故答案為aware“意識到的”。
43. H. involved
填入一個形容詞。根據句中後面部分的ranging from planting trees to cleaning up a park…可知這些都是社群活動。固定搭配be involved in意為“參與”，符合句意，故答案為involved“有關的”。備選的形容詞expensive“昂貴的”不符合句意，故排除。
44. D. especially
填入副詞。分析旬意可知，students顯然是一個大的範圍，而older ones則為其中一個部分，因此是在具體舉例或是特殊強調，只有especially“尤其”能夠起到這樣的作用，由此確定答案。備選副詞naturally“自然地”不符合句意，故排除。
nteering 詞的現在分詞形式。該句前半部分為學校要求學生提供社群服務，而後半部分具體列舉在養老院、幼兒託管所或是政府機構，根據常識判斷，學生在這幾個地方提供的一般都是志願者服務，因此volunteerin9“自願(做某事)”，符合句意，故為答案。備選的動名詞中，joinin9意為“加入”，但是join in意思是“加入，參加”，不符合句意，故排除。
收穫冒險帶來的回報
A.自從史蒂夫喬布斯辭去蘋果公司的執行長職務，他無與倫比的商業領袖的身份為人稱道，他為股東創造了巨大的財富，並且引導設計了變革整個音樂和移動通訊行業的拳頭產品。
B.這一切都是真的，但是，讓我們換一種想法，借用一下蘋果公司多年前的營銷口號。讓我們把喬布斯先生視為一住行為榜樣。
C.首先，他是一個創新者。他的創造力在諸如iPod，iPhone和iPad這樣的產品中可見一斑，以及在對音樂和線上手機軟體進行定價和推銷的新商業模式中得以體現。對於創新的研究會得出相同的結論：你無法策劃創新，但是你可以增加它發生的可能性。而喬布斯先生的事業可以被視為對增加這種可能性的不斷追求，不僅是為了他自己，同時也是為了他所領導的公司。當然，喬布斯先生也非常享受這種非凡的成功。(51)但是創新，廣泛地定義為所有經濟進步的關鍵要素——給國家帶來更快的發展，讓公司擁有更多有競爭力的產品，給個人帶來更興旺的'事業。很多專家說，喬布斯先生為我們展示了在創新遊戲中是什麼在起作用。
D.一位為企業和政府提供創新諮詢的顧問約翰高說：“我們可以從史蒂夫喬布斯那裡看到並學習到美國創新的本質是什麼。”(49)他指出，目前很多其他國家在生產創新的原材料方面領先於美國。這些包括政府對於科研方面的資金支援、國家對於新興產業的政策扶持、教育上的成果、工程師和科學家的培養，甚至還有網際網路寬頻服務的網速。
E.(52)但是，高先生補充說，其他國家明顯缺少的是一種鼓勵多樣性、實驗、冒險和把多種不同領域的技能融入到產品之中的他稱之為“打碎重組”的社會環境。正如iPhone，重新定義了智慧手機的範疇。他說：“其他國家的文化並不會像美國那樣支援喬布斯所示範的創新。”
F.如今所有行業的工作人員都被告知廣泛的好奇心和不斷的學習對振興現代經濟至關重要。(54)職業顧問說，正規教育很重要，但是真實的生活經歷通常甚至更有價值。
G.喬布斯先生是一個被領養的孩子，在矽谷長大，他很早便表現出了那些品質。他小時候就對電子產品著迷，建立Heathldt自己動手專案，比如收音機。他僅僅上了一個學期的課便從瑞德學院輟學，從此便遊歷印度尋找靈感，之後才回到矽谷和他的朋友史蒂芬沃茲涅克，一個工程界的奇才，共同創辦了蘋果公司。喬布斯在1985年被迫離開了蘋果公司，之後創辦了另外兩家公司——Next和Pixar，他在1996年再次回到蘋果公司，並於1997年成為了執行長。
H.他的道路是不同尋常的，但是創新專家說這種探索模式是正常的。(53)歐洲企業管理研究院的一名教授赫爾葛瑞格森說：“通常正是像喬布斯這樣可以從多種經歷中有所借鑑的人才能經常產生突破性的想法和見解。”
I.葛瑞格森先生是《創新者的DNA)這本新書的合著者。這本書是基於對全球5，000位創業者和高管們長達八年的研究寫成的。該書的另兩位合著者為楊百翰大學的教授傑夫代爾和哈佛商學院的教授克萊頓克里斯坦森，後者l997年出版的書《創新者的困境》普及了“顛覆性創新”的概念。
J.學術界發現了顛覆性創新者的五個共同特點：質疑、實驗、觀察、聯想和建立關係網。這些特點的總與其他專家所提到的不斷的好奇心和勇於冒險相呼應。赫爾葛瑞格森解釋說，這裡的建立關係網，並不是構建事業關係，而是對於新想法的不斷探求。(50)他補充說，聯想指的是通過將不同學科的概念聯絡到一起：從而絲盛能夠產生新想法的關聯的能力。
K.葛瑞格森先生說：“創新者會定期參與這種腦力活動，這是他們的一種習慣。”據書的作者說，創新型公司確實會在股票市場中獲得更高的估價，他們稱之為“創新溢價”。它是通過對公司股價的估算，而不是通過對其現有的產品或是資金流來計算的。創新溢價試圖量化投資者因公司的創新而賭公司將來會更好的預期。
L.通過他們的計算，蘋果公司在喬布斯先生掌管的第一階段有37%的創新溢價。(55)他離開的時間裡發生了31%的創新折價。在他曰歸之後，蘋果公司的財富在一開始逐漸增長，從2005年開始顯著地增長，從那時起便達到了52%的創新溢價。
M)這並沒有真憑實據，但赫爾葛瑞格森說，喬布斯先生如果沒有離開蘋果公司之後的經歷，(48)尤其是在製作了一系列重要的、成功的商業電影如《玩具總動員》和《飛屋環遊記》的Par動畫製作工作室的那段時間，那麼他在蘋果公司的第二階段內就不可能徹底改造這個產業.
N.喬布斯先生在2005年斯坦福大學的畢業典禮上說過大致相同的話=(47)他告訴學生：“事實證明被蘋果公司辭退是我遇到的最好的事情了：”他也提到了堅持和意志力：他說：“有時候生活會給你當頭一棒。不要失去信念。”
O.(46)喬布斯先生通過對創新的呼籲結束了典禮致辭，倡導大家在擇業和生活上都要創新：他對學生們說，要有好奇心、敢於實踐和冒險。他引用了《全球目錄》最終版的封底上的文字“求知若飢，虛心若愚”對這些建議進行了強調。他補充道：“我經常希望自己是這樣，而現在，鑑於你們已經畢業了，要重新開始，我希望你們也是這樣。”
46. Steve Jobs called on Stanford graduates to innovateinhiscommencement address.
O. Mr. Jobs ended his commencement talk with a call to innovation, both in ones choice of work and in ones life. Be curious,experiment,take risks,he said to the students. His advice was emphasized by the words on the back of the final edition of The Who/e Earth Catalog, which he quoted: "Stay hungry. Stay foolish. " "And," Mr. Jobs said, "I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you. "
47. Steve Jobs considered himself lucky to have been fired once by Apple.
N. suggestedmuchthesamethingduringa commencement address to the graduating class at StanfordUniversity in 2005."It turned out that getting fired fromApple was the best thing that could have ever happened tome," he told the also spokeofperseverance (堅持 . and will power."Sometimes life hitsyou in the head with a brick," he said. "Dont lose faith. "
48. Steve Jobs once used computers to make movies that were commercial hits.
M. There is no conclusive proof, but Mr. Hal Gregersen says it is unlikely that Mr. Jobs could have reshaped industries beyond computing, as he has done in his second term at Apple,without theexperienceoutside thecompany, especially at Pixar--the computer-animation ( 動畫製作 )studio that created a string of critically and commerciallysuccessful movies, such as "Toy Story" and "Up. "
49. Many governmentshavedonemore than the US government inproviding the raw materials forinnovation.
D. "We can look at and learn from Steve Jobs what the essence ofAmerican innovation is,"John Kao,an innovation consultant to corporations and othernations, Mr. John Kao notes, are now ahead of the United States in producwhat are considered the raw materials ofinnovation. These include government financing for scientific research, national policies to support emerging industries, educational achevement, engineers and scientists graduated, even the speeds of Interuet broadband service.
50. Great innovatorsare goodat connecting concepts from various academic fields.
J. The academics identify five traits that are common to thedisruptive innovators: questioning, experimenting, observing,associating and r bundle of characteristics echoes the ceaseless curiosity and willingness to take risks noted by other orking, Gregersenexplains, is less about career-building relationships than a consistent search for new ideas. Associating, he adds, is the ability to make idea-producing connections cncepts from different disciplines.
51. Innovation is vital todriving economicprogress.
C. Above all, he is an innovator (創新者 ). His creative force is seen inproducts such as the iPod, iPhone, and iPad, and in new business modelsfor pricing and distributing music and mobile software online. Studies ofinnovation come to the same conclusion: you cant engineer innovation, butyou can increase the odds of it occtwring. And Mr. Jobs career can beviewed as a consistent pursuit of improving those odds, both for himself and the companies he has led. Mr. Jobs, of course, has enjoyed singularsuccess. But innovation, broadly defined, is the erncial gredlent in alleeonomirogress--higher growth for nations, more competitive productsfor companies, and more prosperous careers for individuals. And Mr. Jobs, many experts say, exemplifies what works in the innovation game.
52, America has a social environmentflint is particularly favorable toinnowation.
E. Yet what other nation,s ack, Mr. Kao adds, is a socialenvironment that encottra ges diversity, experimentations, risk-taking, aad combining skills from many fields into products thathe calls " recombinant mash-ups ( 打碎重組. ,ke theiPhone, which redefined the smartphon.e category. "The cplture
of other countries doesnt support the kind of innovation thatSteve Jobs exemplifies, as America does." Mr. John Kao says.
53. Innovative ideas often come fromdiveme experiences.
path was unique, but innovation experts say the pattern of exploration is not unusual. "Its often people like Steve Jobswho can draw from a deep reservoir of diverse experiences that often generate breakthrough ideas and insights," says Hal Gregemen, a professor at the European Institute of BusinessAdministration.
54. Real-life experience is often more important than formal education for career success.
F. Workers of every rank are told these days that wide-ranging curiosity and continuous learning are vital to thriving in the modern economy. Formal education matters, career counselorssay, but real-llfe experience is often even morevaluable.
55. Apples fortunes suffere from an innovation discount during Jobs absence.
L . Apple, by their calculations, had a 37 percentinnovation premium during Mr. Jobs first term withthe company. His years in exile resulted in a 31percent innovation r his return,Apples fortunes improved gradually at first, andimproved markedly starting in 2005, yielding a 52percent innovation premium since then.
(56)垃圾食品無處不在。我們吃得實在是太多了。我們中的大多數人明明知道自己在做什麼，但是還依然這麼做。
(60)因此蘭德公司的兩住研究員提出以下建議：為什麼不借鑑控酒政策，並將其運用到食品的出售場所和擺放模式上呢?
(57)“很多控制肥胖症的政策措施都假定人們能夠有意識並理性地選擇吃什麼、吃多少，因此這些政策措施重點在於提供有關健康食品的資訊和獲取渠道，”兩位研究者提到。
(57)“相反，”研究人員繼續說道，“很多沒有假定人們會做出理性選擇的規章條例已成功地應用於酒精管控：和食品一樣，酒精是一種無節制攝取會導致嚴重健康問題的物質。”
該研究參考了有關人們飲食和飲酒行為的研究成果以及對酒精管控的效果，然後列舉出五項研究者認為有望實施到垃圾食品上的規定。其中包括：
(58)密度限制：售酒許可證不是毫無計劃地頒發給所有申請者，而是基於某一地區現有售酒場所的數量分配的。這使人們不那麼容易買到酒，以此減少飲酒的心理暗示。同樣，研究者說，看到垃圾食品就能刺激人們吃的慾望。因此，為何不限制食品銷售點的密度，尤其是出售那些富含空熱量的食品呢?為何不限制那些不是主要經營食品的商店裡面的食品銷售呢?
(59)擺放與出售限制：加利福尼亞州規定加油站不得將酒類擺放在收銀臺附近，而且在大部分地區，你在提供免下車服務的場所買不到酒類。在超市裡，食品公司花錢將其產品放在消費者易見的區域。因此，可以將垃圾食品轉移到商店的後面，並禁止將其擺放在結賬隊伍旁的貨架上。其他的措施還包括限制食物量、向垃圾食品徵稅、禁止垃圾食品特價銷售以及在產品上貼警告標誌。

(61)柯達公司申請破產保護的決定雖然並不出乎意料，但對這個領先的美國公司來說是一個令人傷心的轉折點。柯達公司開創了消費者攝影的先河，並且統領膠片市場長達幾十年。然而，它最終未能適應數字化主這一發展趨勢。
(62)儘管許多人把柯達公司的衰落歸因於它的“自滿”，但這一解釋掩蓋了柯達公司為了改造自己而做出的長期努力。幾十年前，柯達公司就已經預見到數碼攝影將會趕超膠片。事實上，柯達公司在1975就發明了第一臺數碼照相機。然而，在這一決定命運的抉擇中，柯達公司選擇了擱置新發明而把注意力繼續集主查傳統堂片業務上。
哈佛商學院的教授麗貝卡亨德森說，柯達公司並非無視未來，而是它沒有實施策略來應對未來。當這家公司意識到自己的錯誤時，卻為時已晚。 柯迭公司是這樣一個例子：它非常清楚地意識到必須適應未來，而且花了大量的金錢4-$2這樣做，但最終還是以失敗告終。(62)大公司很難轉向新市場，因為把現有的資產投放到新業務上是要經受住一定誘惑的。
儘管柯達公司預料到數碼攝影終將崛起，(63)但它的企業文化過度沉溺於過去的輝煌，以至於它無法塑底脫離過去，也就無法全力迎接未來。柯達是一家時間還停留在過去的公司。(64)它的歷史對它來說如此重要，以至於現在它的歷史已經成為它的一種負擔。
柯達公司在過去幾十年間的衰落是極具戲劇性的。l976年，這家公司佔據了攝影膠片市場90%的份額和照相機市場85%的份額。然而，20世紀80年代，柯達公司遇到了一個新的競爭對手——日本的富士膠片公司。富士公司通過壓低膠片和照片的價格來打壓柯達公司。(65)柯達公司決定不尋求成為1984年洛杉礬奧運會的官方膠片贊助商是一個重大的決策失誤。富士公司獲得了競標，並利用這次贊助在市場上贏得了永久的立足點。

In the eyes of the western people, the basic food that is mostly related to China is rice. For a long time,rice has played a very important part in Chinese peoples diet, so that there is a proverb that goes like this: Onecant make bricks without straw. Rice is mainly grown in southern China and people usually eat rice as thestaple food. Since it is too cold or too dry to grow rice in most areas of northern China, wheat is the maincrop. In China, some people use flour to make bread, but for most people, it is used to make steamed buns
and noodles.
1.翻譯第一句時，注意“在……心目中”要翻譯為in the eyes of…。“和中國聯絡最為密切的基本食物”要使用定語從句，其中“基本食物”the basic food作為先行詞;“和中國聯絡最為密切”可翻譯為that is mostly related to China，修飾the basic food。
2.翻譯第二句時，要注意“以至於”前後為兩個完整的句子，所以用SOthat來連線。前句中“長期以來”譯為for a long time;“佔據很重要的地位”譯為has played a very important part in…後句中的諺語“巧婦難為無米之 炊”可以採用直譯法譯為Even a clever woman cant cook a good meal without rice.還可以採用意譯法譯為If you have no hand you can’t make a fist./You Can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs./You Can’t make a silk purse out of a SOW’S ear./You can’t make something out of nothing.等。
3.第三句包含兩個用分號隔開的分句，因為句子太長，翻譯時可譯為兩個獨立的句子。翻譯第一個分句時，注意 “中國南方大多種植水稻”要採用被動語態，可翻譯為rice is mainly grown in southern China;“以……為主食”可譯為eat…as the staple food。翻譯後一個分句時，也將其獨立成句。注意“華北大部分地區過於寒冷或 過於乾燥”是“無法種植水稻”的原因，但是屬於眾所周知的客觀原因，因此用since來引導即可。另外，這裡 用too…to…句型來表示“過於……而無法……”。
4.翻譯最後一句時，注意“用麵粉做麵包”和“用麵粉做饅頭和麵條”要儘量避免使用相同的句式，故前一句翻譯 為use flour to make bread，而後一句則翻譯為it is used to make steamed buns and noodles。
