21、Donald Trump has been known to do it in the middle of the night. Kim Kardashian has done it more than 22,000 times. Many people don't understand why you would want to do it at all.

We’re talking about tweeting and, unlike posting your entire life on Facebook, this social media activity demands a particular set of skills.

Why use Twitter? It’s a way to have a one-on-one virtual connection with your heroes and anybody who interests you. Likewise, you can share your life and views with an almost limitless number of people. And it all has to be done within the limit of 140 characters of text – plus photos, videos and links – which really helps you focus your mind.

Katy Perry has the most Twitter followers, with 95.6 million of the micro-blogging site’s 317 million monthly active users. Justin Bieber isn’t far behind with 91.5 million, followed by Barack Obama and Taylor Swift with around 83 million each. The heaviest hitters of Twitter are pop stars, heroes of sport and other celebrities. But you don’t need to be famous to create a buzz with the right tweets at the right time.

In fact, Katy Perry is a great example of how to do it well. She has a bubbly tweeting style that mashes up chat about her tours and her music, insights into her emotional roller coaster over the US election, and playful descriptions about her daily life. "Done with my Christmas shopping", she tweeted, and posted a link to her Instagram page that featured crazy gadgets like a "pet emergency jacket" and a "chocolate donut camera".

To get started on Twitter, pick a simple, memorable user name like @KatyPerry, post a short profile and choose a photo. Some tips: post your own photo (not a photo of your dog, it’s not Facebook) and don’t be an “egg person” – referring to the absent egg-shaped image when a user hasn’t posted their own picture. In that case, Twitter won’t get you any followers or respect.

Then, it’s time to start tweeting by sending your updates (“what’s happening?”) and following people. Building up an army of followers can take time. Generally, the more people you follow and the more you tweet, the more followers you’ll get. To become a Twitter star, you need to carve out a reputation for posting original, eye-catching tweets on trending topics – and maximise your visibility by mastering the use of hashtags.

Twitter Analytics will show you how your tweets are performing and who is following you – right down to their age category, country, income bracket, gender and interests. If your popularity is flagging and your Twitter ego is keeping you awake at night, you can turn to the business of buying thousands of "followers" from online sites. But do be ware – there may be a lot of fake profiles in there and, at the end of the day, it’ll feel like paying a crowd of people you don’t know to come to your birthday party.

Happy tweeting!

22、 Eleven-year-old Evan Green doesn’t want to save just one tree－he wants to save a whole rainforest!

In the Redwood City, Calif, a boy started a group called the Red Dragon Conservation Team four years ago to do just that. So far, the team’s members have raised $4,500. That’s enough to purchase and protect more than 16 acres of rainforest in Costa Rica through the Center for Ecosystem survival.

Every year, thousands of square miles of rainforest are destroyed worldwide. Logging and farming are mostly likely to blame, scientists say. The loss is terrible news for animals and people. Even though rainforests cover less than 2 percent of the earth, they are home to half the world’s plants and animals. Rainforests also provide water and help control the earth’s climate.

Evan’s work to save the rainforests recently earned him a Barron prize for Young Heroes. The prizes are given to children or teenagers who have made a positive difference in the world. Evan’s goal is “to save enough rainforests to last forever”. He won’t have to do it alone. His actions have already inspired other kids to chip in. One girl asked for donations instead of presents on her birthday. She raised $850. Other kids are starting their own conservation teams.

Evan says everyone can help the planet－even by taking small steps such as recycling. He and his family try to make a difference every day. “We recycle, we try to limit our garbage… we’ve been walking a little more, and we buy local food,” Evan said.

【1】Evan started the group _______.

A. to help the poor   B. to make himself well-known

C. to win the Barron prize D. to save the rainforest

【2】How much does it cost to buy and protect an acre of rainforest in Costa Rica?

A. About $4,500.   B. About $850.

C. About $1,000.   D. About $280.

【3】What Evan said in the last paragraph suggests that _________.

A. actions speak louder than words

B. we can all do something to protect the earth

C. we should learn to recycle from now on

D. a good beginning makes a good ending

【4】What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Evan Green－a famous teenager

B. The Red Dragon Conservation Team

C. Boy gathers support for rainforests

D. Rainforests are being destroyed

23、Five Skills for Qualified Employees in 21st Century

Technical and technological skills will take on greater importance. 【1】 Qualified employees are expected to understand and fix systems from computer systems to product distribution systems to plumbing systems.

【2】 The ability to gather and absorb seemingly unrelated information, and then use that knowledge, understanding, and perspective to guide the organization’s development in the long run, will be vital.

Numbers and measurement will be important, of course, but smoothing the flow from month to month, from quarter to quarter will be essential for highly profitable long-term performance. Practically every company will have to move away from today’s obsession with looking ahead only as far as the next financial reporting period.

Ability to organize will definitely be important in the corporation of the future. 【3】 Like resources, workflow, marketing mix, financial opportunities, and much more, all will demand high levels of organization and reorganization.

Communication skills—careful listening, clear writing, close reading, plain speaking, and accurate description will be invaluable. In tomorrow’s fast-paced business environment there will be precious little time to correct any misunderstandings. 【4】

The top employees of the coming century will be flexible, creative and motivated. They will seek balance, growth and fulfillment in both their work and home environments. 【5】 Otherwise they will find themselves barriered by lack of qualified people to accomplish the organization’s work.

A．Long-term vision will be in demand.

B．There will be a growing need for these.

C．Persuasive skills will be used in many ways.

D．Removing misunderstanding is a piece of cake.

E．Everywhere there will be a need to put things in order.

F．The corporations of the future must respond to these needs and desire.

G．Communication breakdowns may well become a deadly corporate disease.
