Then at the peak of his skills, he could play 21 notes per second. However, luck wasn't always on his side.

He became a conductor in 2003. He couldn't turn the pages in the score, so instead, he just tried his best to memorize every score, note by note. He still played the piano sometimes, but extremely slow, since he could play only one note per second.That might have been his life, were it not for an engineer who saw the pianist playing live and decided to work out something to help him. After a concert, he approached Joao with the first pair of special bionic gloves. Yet, they didn't work. When the engineer first showed Joao the gloves, he joked that they were for boxing, not to play the piano.But neither of them gave up, and after testing out several models, the perfect match was created.

Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children. Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification. "Within 10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. 1 wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks." A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts （干旱）have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia's agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers （肥料）rather than chemicals.In 2012, Toumi consolidated her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action.“I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.By September 2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia's farmland. She expects to plant 1 million trees by 2018. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco.8. How did Toumi's holiday trips to Tunisia influence her?A. They made her decide to leave the country.B.

Fighting Poverty in North AfricaApples are generally red, green, yellow or a combination of the three, but if the right geographical conditions are met, they can grow dark purple, almost black, as well. These rare apples are called Black Diamond and they are currently only grown in the mountains of Tibet.Black Diamond apples get their unique dark purple color from the geographical conditions of Nyingchi, in Tibet. The 50-hectare 果园），set up by a Chinese company, is 3,100 meters above sea level, making it the ideal place to grow the interesting fruit. The试卷第4页，共10页 temperature differences between day and night are significant, and the fruit gets a lot of sunlight, especially ultraviolet（紫夕卜线的）light, which causes their skin to go from the deep red to dark purple.Production at the Nyingchi orchard started in 2015, three years after the trees were planted, but these apples can only be found in a select number of high-end supermarkets in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and they are usually sold in gift baskets of 6 to 8 fruits. And the price of Black Diamond apples is around 50 yuan per fruit.Due to the low temperatures Black Diamond apple trees can bear dark fruits. But their growth rate is much lower than average. While most apple breeds（品种）reach maturity in 2 to 5 years, these trees require no less than 8 years. And only about 30% of the orchard's product meets the standards of color to be sold as high-quality Black Diamond apples. These issues coupled with the special geographical conditions required to grow Black Diamond apples make fruit growers reluctant to choose this breed.Black Diamond apples are a mystery, even among experienced apple growers, as there really isn't much information about them online. Some users of the Growing Frmt forums（论 坛），for example, are convinced these dark purple apples don't really exist, while others claim that the photos circulating online have made the apples darker than they really are.12.

There are enough sunlight and special temperatures.13. What mainly makes Black Diamond apples only be sold in high-end supermarkets?A. Their sweet taste.B. Their limited number.C. Their specific growing location.D. Their tough growing conditions.14. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “reluctant“ in Paragraph 4? A. Unnecessary. B. Unwilling.C. Possible.D. Grateful.15. . Why is an example given in the last paragraph?A. To show people know little about Black Diamond apples.B. To ask readers to learn more about Black Diamond apples.C. To prove the information of Black Diamond apples wrong.D. To tell people' s different opinions about Black Diamond apples.二、七选五Learning to Give Praise to OthersWords of praise, when used right, can have powerful positive effects on others. They are free, but they9re worth so much to the receiving person. 16 Your members didn't follow you because of salaries but for more a 1 truistic （利他的）reasons. Therefore, it is important that you give them the praise that is due for their efforts.17 Don91 say, "You look good today/9 When you could have said, “You look amazing today!" Don't say, "Thanks fbr your ef:brt. Instead say 'Tm so thankful for your being on this project; we couldn't have finished it without you!”Of course, with all that I have mentioned above, be sure that it's coming from your heart.18 Don't praise if you don't have a hint of appreciation fbr the person. Trust me, it will show in your eyes and the other party will feel upset. Insincere praise is flattery （恭维）； you seek to gain something from saying good things about the other person.Besides, praising in public is rather important. 19 When you praise a partner in public, you lift him up and his conduct for everyone in the room to see. Look for opportunities where you can publicly celebrate the hard work of certain people and make them feel they are great.I believe that as you begin using these communication tips and praising people around you, you'll see a change in the atmosphere of your work environment. 20 Eventually, you'll find yourself with a more effective team!A.
