Cena with 750 Rubiks Cubes.The video starts with Benjamin holding up a series of cards,in which he explains he has dyslexia and struggles with reading and writing.I mix tip my words.I get very upset sometimes,the cards read.But having dyslexia also means I can do something amazing!Like this The video then shows Benjamin putting hundreds of Rubiks Cubes into specific places.In the end,all 750 cubes have been arranged and the patterns come together to show a portrait of Cena.Then.Benjamin lifts up two more cards.They read:Dyslexia is not my disability.Dyslexia is my.superpower.Benjamins amazing talent caught the attention of Cena.This young boy is proving to people that anything is possible-no matter what your learning disorder is,Cena wrote online.Benjamin shows up courage,determination,strengthand hes an artist!Cena even called Benjamin a hero of mine.Dyslexia is a common learning disability that results in difficulties with specific language

competition.But how can they know what the next big thing is before everyone else?One important step in identifying trends is to tell them apart from fads,which dont last long.Its often hard to tell the difference between trends and fads in their early stages.But there are several signs we can look out for.First,trends can make money;businesses should be able to see how they can take advantage of a new trend and plan long-term strategies.Second,trends tend to link with one another.For example,the trend of online shopping is related to a bigger trend-the rise of e-business.And third,trends usually appeal to a wide range of people.Another way of spotting trends is to observe peoples hobbies.The idea for social networking sites came from noticing that people liked to share photographs or personal information in their free time.The importance of spotting trends has led to a growing industry with a range of new jobs.These vary from individual trend consultants to entire teams of people in large companies.Social media analysts look through huge amounts of data online.Kevin Allocca,whose job is to analyze trends on YouTube,spends his day looking through news headlines and popular videos to help his company look out for industry trends.Predictive tech analyzes online conversations,blogs,videos,and even photo descriptions.Predictive tech apps search the Web for keywords,and then compare the data to find common topics.There are also predictive tech websites that encourage trend spotters to work together and submit ideas for new trends.Springwise.is a website that allows its members to submit business ideas that they think will work in their city or country.If a members idea is featured on the website,they receive points that can be exchanged for money.Trendspotting isnt easy,but it is an important sill.Businesses around the world are competing to find the next big thing,and only those that are able to predict and make use of trends will come out on top.28.How do trends differ from fads?A.They are unlikely to make money.B.They mainly attract young people.C.They are related to other trends.D.They stay popular for a short time.29.What can we learn about Allocca?A.He is a trend spotter.B.He has invented many social networking tools.C.He is in charge of writing the news.D.He has started a trend for posting popular videos online.30.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 5?A.Explain how predictive technology works.B.Introduce different business skills.C.Present how businesses beat the competition.D.Encourage people to work together and exchange ideas.31.What would be the best title for the text?A.Finding new marketing strategies B.Changing industry trends C.Identifying trends D.Taking advantage of technology D The effort to increase profitability on farmlands has required the use of large amounts of chemicals and pesticides.Scientists work with grains,fruits,and vegetables in order to grow much larger sized produce.In addition,animals such as cows and sheep raised on farms are regularly injected with artificial hormones to create more meat per animal.This,of course,affects the animals health,and many notice it affects human consumers health as well.The use of so many other types of chemicals in the farming industry also does a lot of harm to the environment.In response to these issues,the organic agriculture movement is developing.Organic agriculture has provided a solution to the harmful use of chemicals.Farmers cannot risk losing their crops to insects,but pesticides,even in small amounts,are not healthy for consumers.Thus,organic farming uses alternative methods.Instead of using chemicals,farmers often use bags to cover plants.Also,natural predators are used to fighting insect pests.Farmers release tiny pirate bugs,ladybugs,etc.into their farms.Genetically-modified plants are another way to fight insect pests so that they are no longer attracted to the taste of the plants.However,modifying plants genetically is still controversial to those who advocate a completely natural approach to farming.Farmers use pesticides from natural sources as well.It is very challenging to raise a successful crop without the threat of insect pests,so many choose to use these more effective,yet still controversial methods.The most important reason for using natural pesticides is to avoid the environmental damage from pesticides that ruin soil and water quality.Though completely natural methods are not as cost-effective in a market society,there has been significant improvement in organic farming methods.32.Why are artificial hormones used on animals?A.To raise healthier animals.B.To make more money.C.To help humans eat scientifically.D.To reduce chemical use in farming.33.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A.The history of organic agriculture.B.Safe alternatives to chemicals in agriculture.C.Warnings against the use of pesticides.D.The introduction of genetically-modified plants.34.What does the underlined word they in paragraph 2 refer to?A.Chemicals.B.Genetically-modified plants.C.Natural predators.D.Insect pests.35.Which of the following organic farming ways causes disagreement?A.Changing genes of plants.B.Using natural pesticides on crops.C.Covering plants with bags.D.Introducing natural enemies of pests.第二节
