Bring blind is tough in any case. But things were even harder for Srikanth Bolla
who was born in a small village in India, where the common belief was that kids with disabilities were “of no use”and therefore, better off dead. Fortunately, Srikanth's parents loved their son and refused to give him up. Instead, they encouraged the blind boy to dream big and reach for the star.
Srikanth did not disappoint his parents. The now twenty-four-year-old is the founder CEO of Bollant Industries.
Of course, gelling here was not easy. Being both blind and poor meant that Srikanth had to face hard challenges. As a young boy, Srikanth attended a regular school near his home.

Concerned this would hold back Srikanth' s development, his family decided to send him to a special needs, school in Hyderabad. Sure enough, the young boy soon rose to the top of his class, earning awards in speech and debate c0mpetitions . But Siikanth was prevented from studying sciences when he reached l0th grade, because it was thought too “dangerous” for a blind student.Not one to give up, Srikanth took legal action and because the first blind student in the country allowed to study sciences.
Late, after graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology， Snkanth set up Bollant Industries in 2012. For just four years, it has become a powerhouse with over 450 employees, 70% of whom are physically challenged.

This Sunday marks the end of Daylight Saving Tim. ( DST), which means you can enjoy an extra hour of sleep by simply turning hark the clocks by an hour.
Increasing the length of the day was first suggested by Benjamin Franklin in 1784. However, he was not serious when he mentioned it in a Idler to the editor of the Journal of Paris, as a way to save candles.
When New Zealand scientist George Hudson put forward the idea in 1895, he was hoping for two additional hours of daylight in the spring to do his favorite-studying insects. Unfortunately, his suggestion fell on deaf ears, as did British William Willett's when he came up with it in 1907 as a way to save electricity.
It was not until April 1916 that Germany began DST to reduce the use of artificial light and save fuel. Then the US, Britain, and a few other countries followed shortly after.
However, losing and gaining the hour does bring some unintended(意外的）results. The end of DST can change the birth order of twins born around 2:00 am.
For example, if the first twin baby is born at 1:45 am and the second one, twenty minutes later al 2:05 am, given that according to the changed clock, the time would be 1:05 am.
Train schedules also get affected by this change. Passengers traveling ovemight this weekend will have to endure(忍受)an extra hour of (ravel time because the trains come to a standstill between 2:00 am ami 3：00 am to stay on schedule. Fortunately T airplanes do not
observe the same routine(惯例）!
Also, many believe the time change has a bad effect on people's health. However,lawmakers are unwilling to change because the extra playtime afforded by the longer days following the Spring DST earns the state $24 million.
9. When was increasing the length of the day first put forward?
A. In the 17th century.
B. In the 18th century.
C. In the 19th century.
D.In the 20th century.
10.What might the end of DST bring?
A.Trains will travel much faster.
B. Flights will take off an hour late.
C. The birth order of twins might be changed.
D. People must go to work an hour earlier.
11.What is the advantage of DST?
A. It can save people' s time.
B. It is good for people’s health.
C. It can increase people' s sleep time.
D.It can increase the country's income.
D
Yuoki, a restaurant in Germany, is not your everyday all-you-can-eat buffet (自助餐）. For starters, there isn't an actual buffet to fill your plale at. Instead, customers are seated at a table and provided with iPads which they can use
to order up to five small dishes every ten minutes. They can eat as much as they want for 120 minutes, but having the food served at short intervals (间隔)allows diners to constantly assess how hungry they are and order accordingly, preventing food waste. Also, the owner, Luan Guoyu, believes our eyes are bigger than our stomach", so not being able to see the cooked food at the buffet prevents people from ordering more food than they can actually eat.
But Luan Guoyu's most effective way of fighting food waste, and the one that has attracted media attention, is his €1 ( $1.15)fine for food still left on the plate. “It’s called ‘ all-you-can-eat’” he says, adding that the extra charge is not meant to increase his income,
but to act as a warning against wasting food.
Luan Guoyu's system is unique in the state of Baden-Wurttemberg, but not in Germany.Okinii, a Japanese-style restaurant in Dusseldorf, has also been charging customer, the same € 1 tax for unfinished food on their plates since 2013.
With so many people living on the edge of s.anation, and food waste becoming a serious problem in developed countries, it will be interesting to see if more restaurants will start carrying out the“eat up or pay up”policy. Even if they give the money from this fine to charity, it would still help them to save money in dealing with waste, so it's a win for everyone.
12. What does the underlined word “assess” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Doubt. B. Realize.
C. Judge. D. Compare.
13. What will Luan Guoyu do when people can’t finish the food on their plates?
A. He will charge them extra money.
B. He will advise them to eat up the food.
C. He will ask them to take the food away.
D. He will warn them to order less food next time.
14. What is the text mainly about?
A. Various German restaurants.
B. The seriousness of food waste.
C. Secrets of managing a restaurant.
D. Special ways to fight food waste.
15. What does the author think of the “eat up or pay up” policy?
A. Unfair. B. Funny.
C. Reasonable. D. Doubtful.

How to Become More Confident
Confidence is something inside, which means you can get it whenever you want to just by thinking about the world in a different way. __16
Everyone feels nervous. Ask all famous actors, athletes or speakers and you will find they all still gel nervous. The only difference is that they've got used to nervousness and have developed some confidence. 17 Now think about your friends and other people you see in the street. Most of [hem feel exactly the same way you do.
No one is better than you. Sure, someone may be better than you in a given topic, but that doesn’t mean they are better than you. 18 They are both fruit, but different. The apple has things it excels in (胜过）and the orange also has things it excels in. That doesn't make one belter than the other.
19 Have you ever looked in the mirror and decided you were going to be confident? Have you ever made up your mind and said you would be confident just because you can? If not, try it out.
You do not need any reason to feel confident. You only develop confidence by working on it. There are many ways to develop confidence, but the best way is to choose it.
You do not need to accept all of these suggestions. 20 The more of these you realize to be true, the easier you will be in developing confidence that will last.
A.It was confidence that made them successful.
B. The following are some facts you need to know.
C. All you need to be confident is to choose to be it.
D. Just like you cannot say an apple is better than an orange.
E. But they all started out that way too and are still nervous!
F. For example many people believe apples are better than oranges.
G. To develop confidence, just give your attention to one of them and test it out.
