At 17, Mark Merwitzer might be Florida’s youngest lobbyist (游说者). The Miami high school junior appeals to authorities to keep drivers from texting behind the wheel.
Over the past year, the teen has met with county officials and state legislators (立法者)to argue that the police should be able to pull drivers over just for using their phones. Efforts in past years have struggled to advance, but recently, the bill got full support from the Senate Transportation Committee (参议院交通委员会).
Like many US people, Merwitzer has seen countless drivers texting behind the wheel. But last spring, while he was riding in the passenger seat of a vehicle, he saw drivers using smartphones in almost every car. A few drivers even appeared to lose control of their cars as they sped along. It dawned on (突然想到) Merwitzer that no one was doing anything to fix the problem.
We need to teach drivers how to properly and safely use technology behind the wheel which is not using it at all,” said Merwitzer.
For the 17-year-old teenager, advocating a new state law has been a crazy experience.
In order to carry out his plan,he put his focus on drumming up (争取)local support by starting an online petition (请愿)and speaking to village councils,
Merwitzer said the first time he spoke at a council meeting “was a complete stutter fest (口吃表演),” but he quickly adapted to it.
“It really creates some standards that help everybody realize the importance of keeping their eyes on the road,” said Miami-Dade Commissioner (专员)Levine Cava.
The commissioner has been so impressed with Merwitzer’s understanding of the political process. “He really learned very quickly how to be an effective citizen lobbyist,” she said.
So far, opposition to the bill has come mainly from police departments. Some are worried about the possibility of lawsuits (诉讼)if officers are accused of racially profiling (按种族形象定性) drivers when accusing them of texting and driving,Merwitzer said. The bill also has critics in the House, where lawmakers have yet to make plans for a hearing.
Merwitzer said he would one day like to be a state legislator, but in the meantime he has a few short-term goals, like finishing school and going to college. Once the legislative session (期间) is over, Merwitzer plans to turn his attention to another local problem: public transportation. “I’d like to focus on that,” Merwitzer said. “It seems like it’s a giant mess,”
【1】What can we learn about Mark from the passage?
A. His struggle has succeeded.
B. He wants to go into politics.
C. He is crazy and determined.
D. He focuses on transportation.
【2】Over the past year, Mark has done all the following EXCEPT ,

Based on the State Information Center (SIC)’s definition for a sharing economy, payment for knowledge can be regarded as a process of turning knowledge into commercial products or services. To be specific, people can share their knowledge with others via Internet platforms, meanwhile bringing themselves extra income. These platforms, at the same time, earn their profits on that.
The year 2016 marked the beginning of knowledge payment in China. An investigation jointly conducted by Guokr and Netease’s online platforms shows that 70% of users have paid for online learning; while in 2015, the number was only 26%.
In may, 2016,Zhihu, a Chinese question-and-answer website, launched Zhihu Live (payment sharing). Within three days, these new platforms attracted over one million users. In June, Luo Zhenyu, founder of LUOgic Show, launched Li Xiang’s Commercial References on iget(得到网),and within two days over four million users subscribed; in August, Z/"7m’s approval & tip function, Snowball O&A, Lenovo's Zhiliao Q&A came online; in September, Huxiu (虎嗅网)began to provide in-depth reports to VIP payment members. Other paid knowledge platforms such as Ximalaya FM, Douban,have also been developing their knowledge payment services.
People with a wealth of knowledge and experience in specific areas are the most likely to benefit from payment for knowledge. Senior managers in large multinational companies like Google, financial elites with top university backgrounds and well-known psychologists, can all profit from these online platforms. But the opportunities also favor the ordinary: a body-builder, a girl who traveled around the world, or a student that passed a postgraduate entry exam can all set up a live classroom. One hundred minutes of audio sharing cost ¥ 19.9 or $2.9, and thousands of users might pay and join the course, bringing those with specific knowledge remarkable income.
In the 2017 China’s Sharing Economy Development Report provided by the SIC,the turnover in China’s knowledge market measures about Y61 billion, or $9 billion,which is a 205% growth compared to last year; the number of payment for knowledge users reached 300 million, accounting for half of all Chinese Internet Users.
The investigation shows that, males are the majority of the users, accounting for nearly 60%: 25-35 year olds account for 59.3%, which mirrors the majority of Internet users, 63% of the paying users are college graduates, and 53.9% of the paying users have an income of Y3-8k,or $ 441-1176, and most are employees and junior management.
【1】Which of the following is not developed initially to provide payment services?
A. Zhihu Live B. Zhiliao Q&A
C. LUOgic Show D. Snowball Q&A
【2】What is the main idea of the passage?
A. People are willing to pay online for knowledge.
B. People are anxious to gain knowledge online.
C. Knowledge services are developing fast.
D. Sharing economy online is on the rise.
【3】How is the passage developed?
A. By giving explanations. B. By making comparison.
C. By listing examples. D. By providing data.
【4】Who is least likely to benefit from payment for knowledge?
A. A senior manager in Baidu. B. A boy in junior school.
C. A famous psychologist. D. An experienced traveler.

Have you ever kept your eyes groundward while otherwise presenting yourself well at a job interview? People who do often wonder why they fail to get the job despite having made full preparations and taken into consideration every possible interview question. To a large degree, the problem is not about your verbal preparation but rather your body language at an interview, Preparing your body language for an interview is crucial (至关重要的),because it has various meanings in different cultures.
And how does the language of gestures vary between Chinese and Western society? Instead of examining the theory, let’s focus on handshake, the most practical gesture that easily escapes our attention. Patti Wood once said, “Most of the hiring decisions are made in the first 10 seconds of an interview.” The way you shake the interviewer’s hand could create the first impression you make. A weak handshake implies lack of confidence. But is it wise to use a powerful handshake? It depends. This would not be a problem if you were shaking hands with a Westerner as they appreciate a firm handshake. But for Asian people a gentler handshake is better, as an over-powerful grip might seem offensive.
Hand gestures are another major difference. Western prospective employers are likely to appreciate interviewees who use their hands expressively, and to assume that those who keep their hands hidden are either distrustful or lacking in confidence. The opposite applies in Asia. Be sure, therefore, to keep your hand gestures to a minimum at interviews with local companies in China.
There are, apart from these two differences, other elements of body language that could ruin your interview wherever you are. You should make eye contact with your interviewer. That doesn’t mean you should glare directly into the interviewer’s eyes. The best point of focus would be a little lower than the middle point. Secondly, you shouldn’t touch your nose, lips or forehead. This tells the interviewer that you are either extremely nervous or lying. Lastly, never jiggle (抖动)your legs or fold your arms. Leg jiggling delivers clearly the message that you feel uneasy and want to escape as quickly as possible. Likewise, crossing your arms implies that you are either defensive or bored.
A research entitled “Non-Verbal Clues in Job Interviews” found that interviewers spotted a high connection between motivation, social skills and employment. Job seekers hence communicate their motivation and social skills through their body language. This crucial factor determines your fate in any job interview, which is why I cannot overemphasize (过分强调)the significance of body language and gestures. If you now recall your last failed interview, perhaps it is easier to understand why you didn’t get the job.

Don’t let body language 【1】your job interview

Introduction

It is getting your body language well 【2】that matters in an interview.

Major 【3】 between Chinese and Western society

Handshake, the most practical gesture, can easily be 【4】.

Never jiggle your legs or fold your arms.

Conclusion
