13、aduating class in 2005 and his words resound repeatedly in my mind whenever I think about my future.It started when I became a junior, when college came into view. Its the first big step to making your life your own. So when Jobs discussed his life as a student, some fears were eased. He, too, felt

14、the need to attend college to make something of himself. He faced what many are extremely afraid of: uncertainty. His lack of understanding caused him to stop attending college and focus on what he felt was important. His story had a happy ending, of course, since everything turned out well.This doe

15、snt mean that students shouldnt attend college, but rather that they shouldnt worry so much.Youll get where you need to go, even if your path is a bit more winding than youd like.Jobs talked about the hardships in his work.His love of his work helped him carry on and he got where he was meant to be,

16、 which restates the point: dont panic. One particular part of his speech stayed with me.Steve Jobs quoted the saying “Stay hungry, stay foolish” and it has become my motto. Staying foolish is realizing that you are still a fool, no matter how much youve learned or experienced.There is always more to

17、 explore. Staying hungry is wanting to find those things about which you are still uneducated.Steve Jobs level of success is possible to achieve, and I aim to prove that.

But one company in the United Arab Emirates has come up with a plan to provide drinking water for the states

22、 citizens. The company intends to drag icebergs from Antarctica to the gulf coast in order to harvest its freshwater.The company plans to source the massive blocks of ice from Heard Island, around 600 miles off the coast of mainland Antarctica. It will then transport them around 5,500 miles to Fujar

23、irah, one part of the UAE. One iceberg could provide enough water for one million people over five years, according to the company.The companys director says they have already travelled the transportation route and checked the possibility of the scheme, according to reports in Gulf News. Speaking to

24、 the site about what he is calling the UAE Iceberg Project, Abdullah Mohammad Sulaiman Al Shehi said, “We have made the technical and financial plan. We will start the project at the beginning of 2018. We want it mainly for the water. It could also be good for tourism and the weather.”The UAE is one

25、 of the driest countries in the world, due to its extremely arid climate, which receives less than four inches of rainfall per year. Despite that, it consumes more water than double the global national average, putting the country at severe risk of droughts over the next 25 years.An average iceberg

26、contains more than 20 billion gallons of water, according to the company. The iceberg takes a long time to melt as 80 percent of it is underwater, while the white ice above reflects sunlight and deflects(使轉(zhuǎn)向) its heat. Blocks of ice will be placed in giant tanks, before being processed. “This is the

37、it is not，is transparent! Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholms KTH Royal Institute of Technology the material may even be able to add that feature to its already impressive list.Lead researcher Dr，Lars Berglund said he was inspired to create the transparent wood after learning how Japane

38、se researchers had developed a see-through paper for use in flexible display screens for electronic devices.The team began by pulling out the woods lignin(木質(zhì)素).The lignin-free wood was then dipped into a polymer(聚合物)and baked at a temperature of 158F for four hours.The result was a hybrid product th

39、at was not only stronger and lighter than the original wood but also，almost transparent.The researchers were able to adjust the level of transparency by varying the amount of the polymer injected and also by changing the thickness of the wood.While scientists have previously created a see-through wo

40、od for small-scale applications like computer chips，the transparent wood is the first one being considered for large scale applications.The researchers，who revealed their findings in Biomacromolecules on April 11，picture using the transparent wood in buildings to allow for more natural light，or to c

41、reate windows that let in the desired amount of light without sacrificing privacy.Wood that allows light to pass through could lead to a brighter future for homes and buildings.Berglund also thinks the wood could play a significant role in the design of solar panels.The semitransparent material woul

42、d be able to keep light longer and give it more time to interact with the conductor，thus resulting in better solar efficiency.Additionally，substituting the currently used glass with this new product would help solar energy manufacturers improve their carbon footprint and lower the cost.They are now

43、experimenting with ways to scale up the manufacturing process so that the transparent material is cost-effective to make and easy to use.1、What does the underlined part“that feature”in Paragraph 1 refer to?ACheap. BDurable. CSustainable. DTransparent.2、Which of the following correctly shows the proc

47、 that 67 percent of employers plan to hire new college graduates this year. They also found that 27 percent of employers will be hiring recent graduates for jobs that pay up to $ 57,000 a year.Career Builder said the improving economy and the rise in retirements of older workers is raising the need

48、for young professionals.There is, however, a concern that young graduates are not ready for life after college.Another Career Builder survey of 2,186 hiring professionals found that they worry new college graduates lack professional experience. They blame universities for placing too much attention

49、on teaching academic subjects that do not relate to real jobs. The hiring professionals suggest that schools should give more support to experience gained through internships (實習). They also said universities are not preparing their graduates well enough for jobs that involve (涉及) new technologies.T

50、he survey found that business, computer science and engineering fields were seeking new workers the most. The biological sciences, architecture and education fields needed fewer new workers.Career Builders advice to young graduates looking for jobs was to follow companies they like or social media.T
