But Niks kindness and generosity have lived on long after his death. After he was diagnosed and started tre
10、atment, Nik was granted (给予) a wish experience from the Make-A-Wish Foundation. “For just this period of time, we didnt think about cancer,” Kelli Boehle said. “All we thought about was enjoying our time together.” In 2009, Nik met another young man Nate, who was also going through cancer treatment.
11、 Hed been diagnosed a month after turning 18, and Nik leaned he was too old to qualify for a wish. The night before Niks death, he asked his mother to help ensure that young adults fighting cancer could have their wishes come true too. “It was like a seed he planted that just wouldnt stop coming int
12、o my mind,” she said. In 2012, Kelli Boehle started Niks Wish. The nonprofit grants wishes to young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 who are battling cancer. Nate was the organizations first wish recipient. “Its meant to bring them joy and know that theyre loved and that were fighting for them,
13、too,” Kelli Boehle said. Recently, 19-year-old Jordan Morrow received her wish to attend a Taylor Swift concert as part of a trip to Los Angeles. For Morrow, who has spent the last year battling brain cancer, going to the concert has done more than lift her spirits. “I think its something to get me
14、through whatever comes my way,” she said. “And Im thankful for Niks Wish for that.”In the 11 years since Nik died, the organization has granted more than 300 wishes across more than 30 states. In the beginning, Kelli Boehle says she wasnt sure she could be a wish maker and work closely with the youn

CWhen we came across a troublesome problem, we often gather a group to brainstorm. However, plenty of evidence has shown that when we generate ideas togethe
18、r, we fail to maximize collective intelligence. To unearth the hidden potential in teams, wed better turn to a process called “brainwriting”. You start by asking group members to write down what is going on in their brains separately. Next, you collect them and share them among the group without tel
19、ling the authors. Then, each member evaluates them on his or her own, only after which the team members come together to select and improve the most promising options. By developing and assessing ideas individually before choosing and expanding on them, the team can surface and advance possibilities
20、 that might not get attention otherwise. An example of great brainwriting was in 2010 when 33 miners were trapped underground in Chile. Given the urgency of the situation, the rescue team didnt hold brainstorming sessions. Rather, they established a global brainwriting system to generate individual
21、ideas. A 24-year-old engineer came up with a tiny plastic telephone. This specialized tool ended up becoming the only means of communicating with the miners, making it possible to save them. Research by organizational behavior scholar Anita Woolley and her colleagues helps to explain why this method
22、 works. They find that the key to collective intelligence is balanced participation. In brainstorming meetings, its too easy for participation to become one-sided in favor of the loudest voices. The brainwriting process ensures that all ideas are brought to the table and all voices are brought into
23、conversation. The goal isnt to be the smartest person in the room. Its to make the room smarter. Collective intelligence begins with individual creativity, but it doesnt end there. Individuals produce a greater volume and variety of novel ideas when they work alone. That means they not only come up
24、with more brilliant ideas than groups but also more terrible ideas. Therefore, it takes collective judgment to find the signal in the noise and bring out the best ideas. 8. Whats the purpose of brainwriting? A. To discover the hidden potential in teams. B. To minimize collective intelligence. C. To
25、use thinkers brains separately. D. To develop and assess ideas individually. 9. What may help to save the miners in Chile? A. Brainstorming sessions. B. The urgency of the situation. C. A tiny plastic telephone. D. Researchers from universities. 10. What do the underlined words “this method” refer t
26、o? A. Brainstorming B. Balanced participation. C. Collective intelligence. D. Brainwriting11. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. What is brainwriting. B. How best ideas occur. C. Why brainwriting is good. D. Where best ideas are. DThree years ago, Juan Carlos Sesma thought that global warmi
27、ng and climate change seemed to be a mounting problem, with scientific records indicating rising temperatures and sea levels across the world. At the same time, forest fires, cutting down trees in the forests, and aggressive human expansion meant the supply of trees was decreasing. As everyone knew,
28、 trees helped to regulate and remove greenhouse gases from our atmosphere. He thought the best way to deal with this problem was to combine two of the most powerful forces emerging in technology: big data and robotics. Therefore, Sesma decided to found such a new company called CO2 Revolution, whose
29、 plan was to use drones (无人机) to better understand where new trees should be planted and to automate the process of planting so that much larger areas of forest could be repopulated. The company designed a special smart seed that helped to deliver just the right amount of protection and nutrition to
30、 the young trees. The overall goal was to considerably lower the time and cost of large scale re-forestation. CO2 Revolution isnt alone. In the UK, a startup called Biocarbon Engineering ran a trial earlier this year where it used drones to help replant Mangrove trees in Myanmar. It has also deploye
31、d (部署) its technology in Australia, South Africa, and Morocco. “In a lot of places, people will either have a map taken by aeroplane, or just use Google Earth satellite imagery. Theyll draw things out freehand and manually plant, either by hand or tractor,” said CEO Susan Graham in a recent intervie
32、w. The challenge for all these startups like CO2 Revolution is to find ways to create a profitable, or at least sustainable business model. For Sesma and the team at CO2 Revolution, recent regulatory action has highlighted one potential pathway. Sesma said, “We offer a solution that allows clients t
33、o carry out massive plantings, increasing forest mass and thus compensating for their carbon footprint. Amid growing calls for carbon sequestration, this kind of effort might prove not just noble, but financially sensible (明智的) for large corporations.” 12. What did Sesma find in the first paragraph?
34、 A. Human expansion led to forest fires. B. The supply of trees was going up. C. Global warming are becoming worse. D. The sea level is decreasing gradually. 13. Why did Sesma set up CO2 Revolution? A. To sell seeds. B. To produce drones. C. To collect data. D. To decrease CO. 14. Which statement wi
35、ll the author probably agree with? A. CO2 Revolution doesnt have the ability to use robotics. B. CO2 Revolution isnt the only environmental company. C. Biocarbon Engineering is lack of technology. D. Biocarbon Engineering helps replant Mangrove trees in USA. 15. Whats Sesmas attitude towards the dev
36、elopment of his company? A. Optimistic. B. Negative. C. Unclear D.
