B “The Art of War” published by Sun Tzu, an adviser who probably lived during the Spring and Autumn Period (776－471 BC) is now celebrated by today's business professors and even sports coaches as guidance for dealing with conflict of all sorts. When Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel felt threatened by the invasion of Facebook into Snapchat’s market, he gave each of his team members a copy of “The Art of War” in order to have them think in terms of cruel competition. Whether it is internal or external to an organization or an individual’s battles with themselves, competitors, or nature, “The Art of War” gives comprehensive advice on how to approach conflict. Here is a wise lesson that can be taken from this broadly universal work. In the same way that Sun Tzu argues armies should only engage when they have a clear advantage, we have to pick our battles in real life. A child may fantasize about becoming a professional sports player, firefighter, a CEO, and the president all at the same time, but as we get older, we realize there is time and resources that restrict what you can achieve. As such, we should know what we can achieve and in which areas we will be most successful to take full advantage of the time and resources that are available. Sun Tzu recommends that military commanders avoid spreading their forces too thin, as that would make an army weaker throughout. Similarly, in your career, if you spread your skills over too many diverse areas, you won't be able to specialize in anything. That is not to saying having diverse skills won’t help you get a job, but you have to 命题人/审核人：涂鸣、王建英、许蓓蓓、彭德河、邱祥迪 diversify your skills in a smart way. In business, you have to choose battles all the time, whether it be choosing between project proposals, prioritizing requests for renegotiations, or choosing when to challenge a counterpart. Much of content in “The Art of War” is dedicating to advising how to pick the right time and place for your conflict to occur (if it really needs to occur at all). 14. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to___________. A. the competition B. the invasion C. the advice D. the copy 15. Which sentence can best conclude the “wise lesson” in Paragraph 3? A. Know yourself and know your enemies. B. In the time of chaos, there is opportunity. C. He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight. D. To win 100 battles is not a talent; to defeat the enemy without fighting is. 16. Which saying might Sun Tzu disagree with according to the passage? A. Time and resources may set a limit to one’s accomplishment. B. A commander should divide the forces of an army equally. C. Having diverse skills might not help you get a job. D. A wise businessman picks the right timing. C Videos and video calls are becoming increasingly popular on social media in China, particularly on WeChat, the country’s most-used messaging app. WeChat’s 1.08 billion monthly active users last year made 410 million daily video and audio calls. That was 5.7 times more than in 2015, when WeChat first disclosed its operational data. Uploading videos on WeChat Moments, a function that allows users to share their latest whereabouts, has become more widely used, with the number of videos posted multiplying 4.8 times in the past 4 years. As a one-stop solution for Chinese people’s daily lives, WeChat has been able to produce a breakdown of its users’ preferences by age group. Those born in the 1980s for example are followers of news related to state and public affairs, whereas those younger than 20 spend the most on sweet treats. In line with previous findings, China’s elderly population are becoming adept at using WeChat as a means of communication and conducting errands (办差事). As of September 2018, over 63 million users were registered as 55 years old or above. This group recorded an average length of 11 minutes for video calls, topping all age groups. WeChat Wallet has also registered exponential (指 数的) growth, with payments in public transportation and high-speed traffic rising 4.7 times and 6.3 times, separately. Spending in retail stores and dining via WeChat rose by 1.5 times and 1.7 times. The number of users who use the app for making medical appointments and paying bills almost tripled. 17.

And as a consequence, that’s just increasing as we move forward.” Jeffrey Shaman, head of the climate and health program at Columbia University’s public health school, argues we don’t yet know 36 climate change will cause a net increase in infectious disease rates globally. 37 , mosquitos carry disease that affects millions of people across the world every year.
