25、 Soul series and the author of The Success Principles. What Jack had become was a version of what I wanted to be.During his talk, Jack took out his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said, “Who wants this?”Hands shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would choose.
26、 But I ran up the stairs to the stage and grabbed the bill from his hand. He turned to me and said, “Yes, thats it! Instead of waiting around for opportunities, simply take the initiative and create what we want!”After this week, I asked for his personal e-mail address and sent him e-mail sharing my
27、 views and dreams. He kindly e-mailed back simple encouragement such as “Keep thinking and playing bigger; its much more fun that way. Love, Jack.” Then I got occupied with other things in life and I stopped e-mail Jack.A year later, my dream gradually faded. I had this idea if I got back in touch w
28、ith Jack. I e-mailed him again and again but got no response. As I sat down at my computer to check my e-mail for the fifth time in 15 minutes, an inspiration came like lighting: What was I doing? Was I waiting for the prize of life? I knew I needed to do something about all this waiting. I was goin
29、g to write a book, which I would call “Waiting for Jack”!It all sounded good, but then reality hit. Some nights I cried and wanted to give up. I wrote and rewrote.

Recently, Spanish fashion giant Inditex anno
35、unced that it would close all its Bershka, Pull & Bear and Stradivarius stores in China. It all indicates that fast fashion is slowing down, noted the website Fast Company.A major reason is the shift in the mindset (心态) of consumers. Millennials, those who were born in the 1980s or 1990s, are now th
36、e largest consumer group. Unlike their predecessors (前人), millennials are more financially stable,and thus low-priced fast fashion is not their priority. According to The South China Morning Post, more people are starting to care about quality and the stories behind a product.Another factor is the g
37、rowing concern over the fashion industrys effect on the environment. As The New York Times noted, the fashion industry is one of the largest polluters of clean water and three-fifths of clothes produced in a year end up in landfill (垃圾场). As there is more awareness of the climate crisis, younger peo
38、ple are pursuing more eco-friendly choices.Molly, 22, is one of them. Before she went to college, she used to frequent fast-fashion shops like Forever 21 and H&M. But after taking a class that focused Fast fashion slows down on the environmental impact of clothing production, her preference changed.
39、 Now, she tries to shop in a way that is both sustainable (可持续的) and affordable: She shops second-hand. “My friend showed me how easy it was to be thrifty (节约的) and I developed a new personal style that focused less on trends but on basics that dont go out of style.” she told MTV News.In order to su
40、rvive in the competitive market, many fast-fashion brands are making changes as well. For example, Inditex said that the company plans for all of its clothes to be sustainable by 2025.“Sustainability is a never-ending task in which everyone here is involved.” said Pablo Isla, CEO of Inditex.46Why is
41、 fast fashion unpopular among millennials?AMillennials follow former generations style.BMillennials prefer cheaper clothes.CMillennials attach more importance to quality.DMillennials like brands with a long history.47What is the main idea of paragraph 4?AUnsold clothes are a threat to the environmen

To get his
45、diploma, he must pass a science test. As he sits down to retake the exam, he holds one of his trademark dialogues with his brain. “All right, brain. You dont like me and I dont like you. But lets just do this and I can get back to killing you with beer.”Many a true word is spoken as a joke. Homer Si
46、mpsons Everyman character really is an Everyman. For most people, engaging in the kind of effortful thinking that is required to pass a science test feels too much like hard work. It is so much easier to quit and let the brains autopilot take over.And no wonder. Evolution has blessed the human brain with all kinds of mental shortcuts that make life manageable. If we had to think about every action or weigh up every decision, we would break down. As a result, certain ideas and modes of thinking c
