UrbanSpace in midtown New York is a place where white-collars come for lunch during their workdays.For the past a few months,customers have always lined up before a kiosk which sells a very authentic Chinese food in north China—Jianbing,or the Chinese crepe.
The kiosk is branded "Mr.Bing",and is owned by Brian Goldberg,who is born and raised in New York.Goldberg is very involved with Chinese culture.He was a Chinese major back in college in Boston,and studied in China 20 years ago.
"When I went to China,I just love Jianbing so much.It tastes so good.It's hot.It's fresh.It's customizable.They make it how you like it.When I come back to America,I can't find it. So I make it!"said Goldberg.
Goldberg's Jianbing plan is not a whim（突发的想法）.It was the theme of his business plan when he was a MBA in Columbia University.As a student,he didn't have enough funds to start.It was until five years ago that he made the first step in Hong Kong.To open the Hong Kong shop,Goldberg spent many weekends flying back and forth from Beijing,Tianjin,and Shandong Province,the origins of Chinese Jianbing.
After tasting tons,he focused on one kiosk in Beijing,Xiaoyan Jianbing,whose chef offered to teach him and his Hong Kong employees the recipe.In Hong Kong,"Mr.Bing" was fairly popular,but Goldberg always thought of going back home.
Two years ago,he moved back to New York and put himself into his Jianbing shop. Selling Jianbing to New Yorkers is surely not the same with selling them to Chinese.To cater to the taste of Americans,Goldberg applied several changes to the recipe after trial and errors.
The Jianbing as you see today at Mr.Bing's is a revised version: fried wonton skin is used to replace dough stick（油条）,and a signature Chinese spicy sauce instead of fermented bean curd,and there is meat,which Americans love.
Even with one storefront,Goldberg is selling hundreds of Jianbing each day.He is confident this Chinese snack can be something."Anyway,Americans didn't know much about sushi or burritos（墨西哥玉米面卷饼）back twenty years.But now they are having them all the time."Goldberg said.The great goal of Goldberg is bringing Jianbing to the world and establishing his own signature brand with "Mr.Bing".
1.Which of the following is NOT a possible factor for Americans' love of Chinese Jianbing?
A. It tastes delicious. B. Its price is very cheap.
C. It is hot and fresh. D. It has been improved.
2.The underlined sentence 'It's customizable.' in Paragraph 3 means that .
A. customers can make orders of Jianbing on the Internet
B. customers can make Jianbing by themselves very easily
C. it can be made according to customers' tastes and needs
D. it can be seen distributed among every corner of the USA
3.From Goldberg's experience we can conclude that .
A. he once studied Chinese in Columbia University 20 years ago
B. he takes possession of several storefronts in Hong Kong,China
C. before setting up his business of Jianbing he did market research
D. he has bought the parent of recipe from Chinese Xiaoyan Jianbing
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A. A man's duty of spreading Chinese culture
B. Jianbing of Mr.Bing attracts New Yorkers
C. A kind of traditional Chinese food—Jianbing
D. Chinese snack can be something in the USA

In the early 1980s, one of our neighbors asked my mom if she would make a few gift baskets for her to give as gifts for the holidays. My mom agreed and news of the unique gift baskets my mom was making spread like wildfire throughout the neighborhood. My mom was busy throughout the holiday season, so she asked a friend to help her. When the orders continued after the holiday season for baby gifts, birthday gifts and more, it occurred to them that maybe this job could be turned into a business and they did it.
My mom went into her business because she had creative ideas. She got orders and filled order. But there was no goal and no real plan. In 1991, my mom’s partner got into financial trouble and there was not enough money to support either mom or her partner.
So if you are led by your creativity or enthusiasm, make sure you ask yourself what you purpose to do your business is. If you don’t set goals, how will you know which direction to go in? Do you want to create jobs and growth in the economy? Are you looking for a hobby? You can’t keep scores if you don’t know what game you are playing.
After my mom’s partner quit, she had to abandon her business to support herself. She swore she would run a business again and do it differently the next time. However, there wasn’t a “next time” for her. She passed away just after her 51st birthday. She never had someone tell her how important having a goal was, she never had a chance to be everything she could be.
There are no right or wrong goals, only the ones that matter to you. Set them so that you can make progress and achieve success, whatever they may mean to you.
1.What did the writer’s mom do after failing in her business?
A. She found a different partner.
B. She celebrated her 51st birthday.
C. She planned to have a second try with different methods.

2.What can we infer from the passage?

C. The writer’s mother died because of her failure in business.
D. The writer believes having goals in mind ensured one’s success.
3.How does the writer present his point of view mainly?

The German company said 5,000 of the "Futurecraft 4D" shoes will be available at retail stores in the fall arid winter.As it is pressed for time,it still plans to start mass producing them next year and expects to have made more than 100,000 pairs by the end of 2018.The company would not disclose where the shoes will be manufactured.
Adidas cooperated with Silicon Valley-based start up Carbon to create the shoe,which uses a new technology called digital light synthesis（合成）.
Although the common 3D printed materials are often rigid（僵硬的）,the new materials are flexible with Silicon Valley-based start up Carbon's technology.
The technology works by using UV lasers to project a pattern for a midsole（鞋底夹层）liquid.It tums the liquid into a solid and the result is a flexible,but more durable midsole.
The technology could make the most of the time and money to produce the shoes in large quantities which may be loved by humans in the future.
"We can produce up to 100 times faster than 3D printing and additive manufacturing processes,"an Adidas spokesperson told CNNTech.

The old man walked with a cane（拐杖）slowly into the restaurant. His poor jacket
patched（打补丁）trousers and worn-out shoes made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd. Unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that sparkled like diamonds，large rosy cheeks，and thin lips held in a steady smile.
He walked towards a table by the window. A young waitress watched him and ran over to him， saying，“Here, Sir. Let me give you a hand with that chair”
Without a word，he smiled and nodded a thank you. She pulled the chair away from the table. Steadying him with one arm， she helped him move in front of the chair， and get comfortably seated. Then she pushed the table up close to him，and learned his cane against the table where he could reach it.
In a soft，clear voice he said, “Thank you, Miss”
“You are welcome, Sir.” she replied，“My name is Mary. I’ll be back in a moment. If you need anything, just wave at me.”
After he had finished a hearty meal of pancakes，bacon，and hot lemon tea，Mary brought him the change, helping him up from his chair and out from behind the table. She handed him his cane， and walked with him to the front door. Holding the door open for him, she said, “Come back and see us, Sir.”
He nodded a thank you and said softly with a smile, “You are very kind！”
