AIn between running one of the world's largest charitable agencies and acting as Microsoft's technology advisor, Bill Gates manages to find time io read books, both long and short. Now Gates - who has been labeled a "greedy" reader - has released a list of his favorite books of the year. All of the books are standout reads, according to the billionaire. most of which are focused on business and economy.Here are Bill's top four picks for the year (with parts of his full review of each book).Business Adventures, by John BrooksBrooks' collection was published in 1969 and remains one of Gates' favorites. He re-read it again this year, labeling it the "best business book I've ever read.""Shortly after we met, Warren Buffett lent me this collection of New Yorker business articles front the 1950s and 1960s. I loved them as much as he did. Brooks' insights (洞察力)about business have aged beautifully, and they are as true today as ever."Capital in lire Twenty-First Century, by Thomas PikettyPiketty's novel hit the shelves in August 2013 and sparked much discussion concerning income inequality throughout this year. Gates also got to sit down with Piketty himself after reading the non-fiction work to discuss the topic."As I told him, although I have concerns about some of his secondary points and policy prescriptions. I agreewith his most important conclusions: inequality is a growing problem and that governments should play a role in reducing it."How Asia works, by Joe StudwellStudwell's work which was published in May this year. addresses how countries such as Japan, South Korea and China have continued to achieve high growth. and why other countries have failed to do the same."The agriculture section of the book was particularly insightful. It provided ample food for thought for me as well as the whole Agriculture team at our foundation. And it left us thinking about whether parts of the Asian model can apply in Africa."Making the Modern World: Materials and Demateriallation, by Vaclav SmilSmil's books are a constant favorite of the Microsoft founder- one of his books makes Gates' list almost every year. "Making the Modem World" came out late last year and explores the global use of materials, from silicon to wood, and plastic."If anyone trios to tell you We're using fewer materials, send him this book. With his usual skepticism and his love of data. Smil shows how our ability to make things with less material - say. soda cans that need less aluminum - makes them cheaper. which actually encourages more production."21.

The 50-year-old has been homeless for more than 10 years."It is hard. It's hard to live homeless. You filled every day trying to find out where you are going to get something to eat. If I hadn't found wonderful Fairfax County Kennedy Shelter, I wouldn't know where I would be by now. I might be dead," Talley said.The Kennedy Shelter is one of the facilities New Hope Housing provides for homeless people.Pam Michell has devoted her life to making the lives of this vulnerable (易受伤的)population better as executive director of the non-profit organization."I went to Africa in 1985. And I saw a huge amount of poverty, but I saw so much hope. And I decided that I should try to do something that would bring hope to people," Michell said.When Michell began working with New Hope Housing 25 years ago, its three shelters had about 80 beds. Now, it has 350 beds and serves about 1,500 homeless people every year. She has expanded the program beyond just providing beds for the night."We do outreach(拓展), we do prevention, we do permanent housing. wedo transitional housing. We have an education program with all sorts of different things to move people to end their homelessness," she said,"Our Out of Poverty program is not just about money. It's about you could be spiritually poor, you could be relationship poor ... you could beeducationally poor. So it is focusing on how you get out of this poverty that has brought you to being homeless." The program tries to teach the shelter residents self-reliance (自立) and work values, and includes courses on planning and personal responsibility.."l learned I still have opportunities to change it and I can change it," said shelter resident Lewis Webster. "It is just about going forth in doing necessary work to do it. I mean if you really want better, you would do better and that's the frame of mind of me now."25.

An Organisation to End HomelessnessCA new study by the British government has discovered the mental health of the country's teenage girls has become Worse.The survey, which included 30,000 14-year-old students in 2005 and 2014. showed 37 percent of girls with psychological stress, up from 34 percent in 2005. British boys' stress level %%as actually seen to fall over the same time period, from 17 percent to 15 percent.The report's authors pointed out the "advent of the social media age" could be a major contributing factor for increased stress among teenage British girls."The adolescent years are a time of rapid physical, cognitive (认知的) and emotional development," Pam Ramsden, a lecturer in psychology at the University of Bradford in the United Kingdom, wrote in a recent blog post. "Teenagers interact with people in order to learn how to become competent (有能力的) adults. In the past, they would engage with parents, teachers and other adults in their community as well as extended family members and friends. Now we can also add social media to that list of social and emotional development."Throughout adolescence, girls and boys develop characteristics like confidence and self-control. Since teenage brains have not completely developed, teens don't have the cognitive awareness and impulse (冲动) control to keep from posting inappropriate content. Furthermore, this content can easily be spread far and wide with disastrous influences.Social media can also feed into girls' insecurities about their appearance, Ramsden said. These sites are often filled with images of people with body type unattainable to the normal person. However, these images and the messages tied to them gradually become societal standards.29.

The underlined word "advent" in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by .A. arrivalB. endC. disappearanceD. InventionDSingapore is planning to cut off web access for public servants as a defence against potential cyber attack - amove closely watched by critics who say it marks a retreat (倒退) for a technologically advanced city-state that has trademarked the term "smart nation".Some security experts say the policy, due to be in place by May, risks damaging productivity among civil servants and those working at more than four dozen statutory (法定的) boards, and cutting them off from the people they serve. It may only raise slightly the defensive walls against cyber attack. they say.Ben Desjardins. director of security solutions at network security firm Radware, called it "one of the more extreme measures I can recall by a large public organisation to fight cyber security risks". Stephen Dane, a Hong Kong-based managing director at networking company Cisco Systems, said it was "a most unusual situation" and Ramki Thurimella. chair of thecomputer science department at the University of Denver, called it both "unprecedented (前所未有的) "and "'a little excessive (过分的) ". One 23-year-old manager, who gave only her family name. Netagale, said blocking web access would only harm productivity and may not stop attacks. "Information may leak through other means, so blocking the Internet may not stop the unavoidable from happening." she said.But other cyber security companies said that with the kind of threats governments face today. Singapore had little choice but to restrict Internet access.FireEye, a cyber security company, found that organisations in south-east Asia were 80% more likely than the global average to be hit by an advanced cyber attack.Singapore officials said no particular attack led to the decision but noted a leakage of one ministry in 2015. David Koh, CEO of the newly formed Cyber Security Agency, said officials realized there was too much data to secure and the threat "is too real".32. Singapore decides to cut off web access for public servants to .A. match her trademark of "smart nationB. prevent potential cyber attackC. increase civil productivityD. raise wide awareness of cyber attack33. The main idea of the third paragraph is people'sA. agreement with the government planB. support for the government planC. arguments over the government planD. suggestions on the government plan34.
