I was sent to some of the citys worst neighborhoods to try to sell subscriptions by showing the paper doortodoor. Even though I was often scrambling (moving with difficulty) around after dark in bad areas searching for tatty (简陋的) apartments, I was grateful for the work.It was a challenge because people didnt like a stranger knocking on their door, especially a kid trying to get them to buy something. One time, a man slammed his door in my face and screamed, “I dont want the damn paper.” I forced myself to knock again and was able to tell him how great the paper was. I ended up selling him a subscription. I was soon among the top subscription sellers and like other successful salesmen, was given responsibility for training newers.Around this time, I started playing the guitar. Before long I was playing in a band at chill cooking petitions and other events. When I turned 18, I focused my attention on being a professional musician. I never lost sight of this dream. Im sure my perseverance(毅力) came from what I learned knocking on strangers doors.That experience helped me in many ways. Early in my music career I was locked in a legal dispute with a former manager. He pressured me to back off from the job, but I refused.Having all those doors slammed in my face as a kid gave me the strength to stand up to this intimidating (令人生畏的) figure.

Fortune had 30 minutes to try them both out.

And yes, the iPad Mini 3 offers more storage on model priced $499 and over, but again, the iPad Air 2 does that, too. In fact, the iPad mini 3 is largely similar to last years model down to the size, processor and camera, so much so that handling the device gave me dj vu(似曾相识). pared to the Air 2, its noticeably thicker, runs slower and lacks the Air 2s glare-resistant screen.

No one is quite sure exactly who first thought it up, but the most widely-accepted story is that it came from the dorms of Nanjing University in 1993 when four single male students got together to discuss how to break free of the loneliness of single life. Why could such a holiday go from local to national in less than two decades? It likely has a lot to do with Chinas culture. The country has a serious sex gap and theres heavy family pressure on many young Chinese men and women to find a suitable partner and marry young, so young people of both sexes celebrated the holiday as a kind of release.Singles Day was about being with friends and having fun before, but now, it is about shopping mostly online shopping. How did an underground youth holiday go corporate? The short answer is Alibaba. By the late xxs, there might have been some small shops online and offline offering sales on that day earlier, but no major pany bought into the holiday until Alibaba launched its first Singles Day online sale in xx. xx changed things. Alibaba went bigger, offering more brands and deeper discounts and other panies had noticed the potential of the xx sales bonanza and decided to follow suit. Over the next few years, Alibaba, JD, and other Chinese electronic merce players all expanded their one-day discounts, and sales grew rapidly. About the panys plans for Singles Day, Tmall CEO Wang Yulei said that Alibabas “core keyword” this year is globalization, and want consumers to be able to buy products from all over the world. Amazon China, too, is making moves towards taking the holiday global. Even JD is looking at the international market in the long run. Of course, theres still a long way to go before Singles Day is a truly global phenomenon, and it may never get there. But the mercial aspects of the holiday are already big enough to be of interest to the global Chinese diaspora, and where it spreads from there is anyones guess.66.

Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Stress is the curse of living in modern times. And the stress we suffer has bad effects on our bodies and minds. In recent studies, experts have determined that heart disease is linked to anger and mental stress.Relaxation takes on added importance in this matter.
