When Warren Buffett was asked about the secret to his wealth and success, he said that he read every day—500 pages. Unfortunately, if you’re already working 9-5, you might not have the time to read at all, let alone an entire book a day. But what if you could get the benefits of reading without sacrificing all of your free time? You can! With the Blinkist app, you get the key learning from the best notification books in minutes, not hours or days. Our experts transform these books into quick, memorable, easy-to-understand insights. Start with the 3 most-read titles on self-improvement and see if you don’t feel a little more satisfied already.
1. Thirteen Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do by Amy Morin
12min
Read it on Blinklst
You can’t escape misfortune in life. But you can change how you respond it. Do you struggle to get over your failures? Or talk a lot about things out of your control? Getting over these obstacles can have a very great influence on your everyday life. Morin shares how her most successful therapy patients overcame these difficulties.
2. How to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie
19min
Read it on Blinklst
How would you feel it someone told you on Sunday evening that, come Monday morning, you would be thrown into a torture chamber（刑讯室）? Would you worry? Probably. But there would be a way to deal with those worries. Ever wondered why you can’t stop worrying about something? No matter how hard you try, are you always thinking and talking on the same issue? By defining the source of your stress, you can get over it once and for all. Carnegie came up with a timeless formula that helps you handle any overthinking situation.
3. How Will You Measure Your Life? by Clayton M. Christensen, James Allworth and Karen Dillon
13min
Read it on Blinklst
What do you think would make you happier at work? Perhaps a little more pay might be nice, or maybe some more admiration from fellow colleagues. Are you making the right trade-offs in life? While career achievements can be satisfying, neglecting your family and friends can be harmful in the long-run – in ways you can’t even imagine.

Anaya Elick was born without hands – she has stubs（残端）where most people’s wrists begin.
To hold a pencil, she must balance it between her wrists, then use her arms to push it along the page. But that didn’t sop her from winning a national handwriting contest when she was in first grade.
In the two years since, she has taken on greater challenges. Last week, she won another national handwriting contest, this one for cursive（草书）. And by all accounts from her teachers at Greenbrier Christian Academy, she has become an accomplished artist.
Anaya isn’t one to boast about her successes. She unwillingly says they make her proud but adds that they come from “lots of practice.”
Her friends at school said, “She inspires everybody by what she does and how she does it” child to fail, and raising one who was born with a disability can heighten that protective instinct.
Before Anaya was born, doctors knew about her condition, although not its cause. Other than having no hands, she is a regular 9-year-old girl.
Anaya succeeds because she is not afraid to fail, Middleton said. The two began practicing cursive last year, when Anaya was in second grade. She struggled sometimes, because unlike traditional penmanship, which allows for breaks after each letter, cursive words are written straight through – and added effort for someone who must balance rather than hold the pencil.
Middleton could see her daughter thinking through the challenge, figuring out how she could do better. She’d get frustrated at times, but she never hesitated to do things as often as it took to get them right.
“I don’t think I’ve ever heard Anaya say I can’t do something,” Middleton said.
That attitude carries over to her other interests.
Recently, Anaya and her classmates sat in Cheryl Leader’s art room, working on an exercise. The goal was to get them thinking about different concepts, like color combinations and how an image can be formed by fully coloring inside straight and diagonal lines.
24. How did she make her writing? ________.
A. by hand B. with her arms C. with her wrists D. with her mouth
25. Why did Anaya’s mother say being a parent can be scary? ________
A. Because she doesn’t want her child to fail.
B. Because she love her child very much.
C. Because raising one who was born with a disability can be a burden.
D. Because she wants to protect her child from failing.
26. According to the passage, what kind of person do you think Anaya is? ________
A. brave, hard-working and proud B. brave, warm-hearted and kind
C. brace, diligent and modest D. brave, diligent and shy
27. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Girl without hands inspires everybody.
B. A special artist.
C. Mother and daughter.
D. We can do everything that we want.
C
I have been unusually silent these past ten months. I had thought that silence would soon be coming to an end,, but I’m afraid I must tell you now that fate（命运）has decided on a different course for me.
In August of last year, I underwent surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in my abdomen. That operation was thought to have been a success, but it caused a series of secondary complications – which I have been fighting in hospital ever since. It was along and hard fight with many setbacks, but I was steadily, if slowly, overcoming each obstacle along the way and gradually making my way back to health.
However, recent tests have revealed that the cancer has returned. There was no sign or it as recently as a month ago, which means it is aggressive and spreading rapidly. My doctors tell me their best estimate is that I have only a few weeks left to live. This is the final conclusion. My fight is over.
I wish to thank my doctors and caregivers, who efforts have been magnificent. My dear friends, who have given me a lifetime of memories and whose support has sustained me through these difficult months. And all of my partners at The Washington Post, Fox News, and Crown Publishing.
Lastly, I thank my colleagues, my readers, and my viewers, who have made my career possible and given consequence to my life’s work. I believe that the pursuit of truth and right ideas through honest debate and thorough argument is a noble undertaking. I am grateful to have played a small role in the conversations that have helped guide this extraordinary nation’s destiny.
I leave this life with no regret. It was a wonderful life – full and complete with the great loves and great endeavors that make it worth living. I am sad to leave, but I leave with the knowledge that I lived the life that I intended.
28. What is the right order of the events?
a. I have been usually silent these past ten months.
b. The doctors made the final conclusion about my life.
c. I have been fighting in hospital against the secondary complications.
d. In August of last year, I underwent surgery to remove a cancerous tumor.
e. A month ago, the cancer returned.
A. adeb B. daec C. dceb D. adcb
29. Which of the following can explain the underlined word “secondary complication” in the second paragraph?
A. a variety of diseases that followed the first operation
B. the second operation following the first surgery
C. some setbacks that followed the first operation
D. some obstacles following the first surgery
30. What is the writer?
A. A doctor B. A writer C. A professor D. A reporter
31. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To explain why the author was silent and his attitude toward death.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever cleaned and organized your increasingly high-tech households, your hard drive, phone or tablet? It’s not just stuff. Your privacy needs a cleanup too. 36
1. Clean up your browsers（浏览器）
Cookies are blocking everything up and keeping your computer from running fluidly. A free program called CCleaner helps you sort out the cookies and archives（存档）you don’t really need. 37 . CCleaner analyses its backlog of information and lists the data that seems unnecessary.
2. Speed up your smartphone
Most of us already know about e desktops, but what about smartphones? Our phones are essentially handheld computers, and when they overflow with useless information, their operations can also slow down. These aren’t necessarily apps, but overburdened call logs, search history, and saved texts.
For Android users, there’s 1Tap Cleaner, an app that earns its name. 38 Most of us are surprised by how many updated messages and URLs get archived, a data stream that we will probably never refer to again. Then again, you do want to make sure irreplaceable bits (landmark texts, unsaved photos) survive the deep clean.
3. 39
Digital photos are easy to shoot, upload and copy, which is handy in almost every respect, especially if you grew up lugging rolls of film to the one-hour photo lab. The downside is that you may end up with multiple copies of the same picture. If you’re shooting with a decent camera, each shot could take 10MG or more of space. This volume adds up.
40 This is the premise behind Duplicate Photo Fixer, which is designed to filter through your photo collection in search of double takes.
A. Make your photos shine.
B. The app gathers that data in one place, letting you decide what to keep.
C. This aim of this app is to clean your smartphones.
D. Remove redundant images.
E. When you download the app, you can focus on a specific browsers that you would like to clean up.
F. Here are three tools that can help you organize your virtual (and real) environments.
G. The trick is to safely delete redundant photos without losing the original image.

Living aboard can help you make smarter career decisions
Living in a foreign country doesn’t just give you the opportunity to learn about different cultures, it can also boost your self-awareness and improve your career.
That’s according to a recent study 41 by the Kenan-Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
A team of researchers conducted six studies involving 1,874 subjects and found that living abroad increases 42 they call “self-concept clarity.” This is defined as the extent to which a person is able to clearly and confidently define their beliefs. It has been 43 with a slew of benefits, 44 mental well-being, better stress management and enhanced job performance, the 45 write in Harvard Business Review.
In one of the studies, participants were asked to indicate how strongly they 46 statements like, “In general, I have a clear sense of who I am and what I am,” and, “It is often hard for me to make up my mind about things 47 I don’t really know what I want.”
Those who had lived abroad, the research found, reported a 48 sense of self than those who had not.
In another study, participants who had lived abroad were randomly assigned to two groups. Half were asked to reflect on the experience of living abroad while the 49 group was asked to reflect on the 50 of living in their home country. The study found that subjects who reflected on living abroad reported higher self-concept clarity than those who reflected on living 51 .
Living abroad also forces people to 52 against different cultural values and norms. Repeatedly having to do this allows people to 53 which values and norms truly define who they are, the researchers explain.
Finally, the study found that the length of time lived abroad had a far greater 54 than the number of foreign countries lived in. The longer people lived abroad, the more likely they were to develop a better 55 of themselves.
As organizations become increasingly global, these findings have 56 implications in the workplace. When it comes to 57 talent, for example, recruiters（征募）highly value job candidates who have international experience because they appear more 58 , outgoing and knowledgeable about global affairs, according to the Financial Times.
Further, living abroad better 59 you to make challenging career decisions, according to the researchers.
“It stands to reason,” they write, “that having a clear sense of self explains which types of career options best match one’s 60 and fulfill one’s values, thereby enabling people to be clearer and more confident about their career decisions.”

Dear Editor,
I’m writing to protest about the advertisement in your newspaper. Not only I but also many people around me are angry with the content that it conveys.
It was posted in China Daily last week, showing a black man was put some cleaner in the mouth and then into a washing machine by a woman. Unexpectedly, after a while, out came a white man and the woman smiled.
This will have a very bad influence on our China image. It is very clear that this content is a kind of race discrimination, which is always a problem of great concern. What’s more, it will affect your reputation.
So, I strongly recommend that you remove this advertisement as soon as possible. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua

When Warren Buffett was asked about the secret to his wealth and success, he said that he read every day—500 pages. Unfortunately, if you’re already working 9-5, you might not have the time to read at all, let alone an entire book a day. But what if you could get the benefits of reading without sacrificing all of your free time? You can! With the Blinkist app, you get the key learning from the best notification books in minutes, not hours or days. Our experts transform these books into quick, memorable, easy-to-understand insights.

Anaya Elick was born without hands – she has stubs（残端）where most people’s wrists begin.
To hold a pencil, she must balance it between her wrists, then use her arms to push it along the page. But that didn’t sop her from winning a national handwriting contest when she was in first grade.
In the two years since, she has taken on greater challenges. Last week, she won another national handwriting contest, this one for cursive（草书）. And by all accounts from her teachers at Greenbrier Christian Academy, she has become an accomplished artist.
Anaya isn’t one to boast about her successes. She unwillingly says they make her proud but adds that they come from “lots of practice.”
Her friends at school said, “She inspires everybody by what she does and how she does it” child to fail, and raising one who was born with a disability can heighten that protective instinct.
Before Anaya was born, doctors knew about her condition, although not its cause. Other than having no hands, she is a regular 9-year-old girl.
Anaya succeeds because she is not afraid to fail, Middleton said. The two began practicing cursive last year, when Anaya was in second grade. She struggled sometimes, because unlike traditional penmanship, which allows for breaks after each letter, cursive words are written straight through – and added effort for someone who must balance rather than hold the pencil.
Middleton could see her daughter thinking through the challenge, figuring out how she could do better. She’d get frustrated at times, but she never hesitated to do things as often as it took to get them right.
“I don’t think I’ve ever heard Anaya say I can’t do something,” Middleton said.
That attitude carries over to her other interests.
Recently, Anaya and her classmates sat in Cheryl Leader’s art room, working on an exercise. The goal was to get them thinking about different concepts, like color combinations and how an image can be formed by fully coloring inside straight and diagonal lines.
24. How did she make her writing? ________.
A. by hand B. with her arms C. with her wrists D. with her mouth
25. Why did Anaya’s mother say being a parent can be scary? ________
A. Because she doesn’t want her child to fail.
B. Because she love her child very much.
C. Because raising one who was born with a disability can be a burden.
D. Because she wants to protect her child from failing.
26. According to the passage, what kind of person do you think Anaya is? ________
A. brave, hard-working and proud B. brave, warm-hearted and kind
C. brace, diligent and modest D. brave, diligent and shy
27. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Girl without hands inspires everybody.
B. A special artist.
C. Mother and daughter.
D. We can do everything that we want.
C
I have been unusually silent these past ten months. I had thought that silence would soon be coming to an end,, but I’m afraid I must tell you now that fate（命运）has decided on a different course for me.
In August of last year, I underwent surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in my abdomen. That operation was thought to have been a success, but it caused a series of secondary complications – which I have been fighting in hospital ever since. It was along and hard fight with many setbacks, but I was steadily, if slowly, overcoming each obstacle along the way and gradually making my way back to health.
However, recent tests have revealed that the cancer has returned. There was no sign or it as recently as a month ago, which means it is aggressive and spreading rapidly. My doctors tell me their best estimate is that I have only a few weeks left to live. This is the final conclusion. My fight is over.
I wish to thank my doctors and caregivers, who efforts have been magnificent. My dear friends, who have given me a lifetime of memories and whose support has sustained me through these difficult months. And all of my partners at The Washington Post, Fox News, and Crown Publishing.
Lastly, I thank my colleagues, my readers, and my viewers, who have made my career possible and given consequence to my life’s work. I believe that the pursuit of truth and right ideas through honest debate and thorough argument is a noble undertaking. I am grateful to have played a small role in the conversations that have helped guide this extraordinary nation’s destiny.
I leave this life with no regret. It was a wonderful life – full and complete with the great loves and great endeavors that make it worth living. I am sad to leave, but I leave with the knowledge that I lived the life that I intended.

Have you ever cleaned and organized your increasingly high-tech households, your hard drive, phone or tablet? It’s not just stuff. Your privacy needs a cleanup too. 36
1. Clean up your browsers（浏览器）
Cookies are blocking everything up and keeping your computer from running fluidly. A free program called CCleaner helps you sort out the cookies and archives（存档）you don’t really need. 37 . CCleaner analyses its backlog of information and lists the data that seems unnecessary.
2. Speed up your smartphone
Most of us already know about e desktops, but what about smartphones? Our phones are essentially handheld computers, and when they overflow with useless information, their operations can also slow down. These aren’t necessarily apps, but overburdened call logs, search history, and saved texts.
For Android users, there’s 1Tap Cleaner, an app that earns its name. 38 Most of us are surprised by how many updated messages and URLs get archived, a data stream that we will probably never refer to again. Then again, you do want to make sure irreplaceable bits (landmark texts, unsaved photos) survive the deep clean.
3. 39
Digital photos are easy to shoot, upload and copy, which is handy in almost every respect, especially if you grew up lugging rolls of film to the one-hour photo lab. The downside is that you may end up with multiple copies of the same picture. If you’re shooting with a decent camera, each shot could take 10MG or more of space. This volume adds up.
40 This is the premise behind Duplicate Photo Fixer, which is designed to filter through your photo collection in search of double takes.
A. Make your photos shine.
B. The app gathers that data in one place, letting you decide what to keep.
C. This aim of this app is to clean your smartphones.
D. Remove redundant images.
E. When you download the app, you can focus on a specific browsers that you would like to clean up.
F. Here are three tools that can help you organize your virtual (and real) environments.
G. The trick is to safely delete redundant photos without losing the original image.

Living aboard can help you make smarter career decisions
Living in a foreign country doesn’t just give you the opportunity to learn about different cultures, it can also boost your self-awareness and improve your career.
That’s according to a recent study 41 by the Kenan-Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

It has been 43 with a slew of benefits, 44 mental well-being, better stress management and enhanced job performance, the 45 write in Harvard Business Review.
In one of the studies, participants were asked to indicate how strongly they 46 statements like, “In general, I have a clear sense of who I am and what I am,” and, “It is often hard for me to make up my mind about things 47 I don’t really know what I want.”
Those who had lived abroad, the research found, reported a 48 sense of self than those who had not.
In another study, participants who had lived abroad were randomly assigned to two groups. Half were asked to reflect on the experience of living abroad while the 49 group was asked to reflect on the 50 of living in their home country. The study found that subjects who reflected on living abroad reported higher self-concept clarity than those who reflected on living 51 .
Living abroad also forces people to 52 against different cultural values and norms. Repeatedly having to do this allows people to 53 which values and norms truly define who they are, the researchers explain.
Finally, the study found that the length of time lived abroad had a far greater 54 than the number of foreign countries lived in. The longer people lived abroad, the more likely they were to develop a better 55 of themselves.
As organizations become increasingly global, these findings have 56 implications in the workplace. When it comes to 57 talent, for example, recruiters（征募）highly value job candidates who have international experience because they appear more 58 , outgoing and knowledgeable about global affairs, according to the Financial Times.
Further, living abroad better 59 you to make challenging career decisions, according to the researchers.
“It stands to reason,” they write, “that having a clear sense of self explains which types of career options best match one’s 60 and fulfill one’s values, thereby enabling people to be clearer and more confident about their career decisions.”

Dear Editor,
I’m writing to protest about the advertisement in your newspaper. Not only I but also many people around me are angry with the content that it conveys.
It was posted in China Daily last week, showing a black man was put some cleaner in the mouth and then into a washing machine by a woman. Unexpectedly, after a while, out came a white man and the woman smiled.
This will have a very bad influence on our China image. It is very clear that this content is a kind of race discrimination, which is always a problem of great concern. What’s more, it will affect your reputation.
So, I strongly recommend that you remove this advertisement as soon as possible. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
