32、 other supplements, all promising to accelerate or promote weight loss. Aisles of marketing genius belie (掩饰)the fact that, 26 , weight loss is dictated by the laws of arithmetic.

33、 in are less than calories 27 , weight shall be lost, and so it is with money.Despite the 28 of financial products, services and solutions geared towards accumulating wealth, it all begins with the same 29 : getting ahead financially requires a reduction of spending,so that income is greater than ex

36、 she would be able to buy an investment unit within two years, which she did.Nicole admitted she was fortunate, as she was able to live with her parents and 34 her spending-and life-to get herself on track financially.

39、tions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.How Marconi Gave Us the Wireless WorldA hundred years before iconic figures like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs permeated our lives, an Irish-Italian inventor laid the foundation of the communication explosion of the 21st century. Guglielmo Marc

40、oni was arguably the first truly global figure in modern communication. Not only was he the first to communicate globally, he was the first to think globally about communication. Marconi may not have been the greatest inventor of his time, but more than anyone else, he brought about a fundamental sh

41、ift in the way we communicate.A Todays globally networked media and communication system has its origins in the 19th century, when, for the first time, messages were sent electronically across great distances. The telegraph, the telephone, and radio were the obvious predecessors of the Internet, iPo

42、ds, and mobile phones. What made the link from then to now was the development of wireless communication. Marconi was the first to develop and perfect this system, using the recently-discovered “air waves“ that make up the electromagnetic spectrum.B Between 1896, when he applied for his first patent

43、 in England at the age of 22, and his death in Italy in 1937, Marconi was at the center of every major innovation in electronic communication. He was also a skilled and sophisticated organizer, an entrepreneurial innovator, who mastered the use of corporate strategy, media relations, government lobb

44、ying, international diplomacy, patents, and prosecution. Marconi was really interested in only one thing: the extension of mobile, personal, long-distance communication to the ends of the earth (and beyond, if we can believe some reports). Some like to refer to him as a genius, but if there was any

45、genius to Marconi it was this vision.C In 1901 he succeeded in signaling across the Atlantic, from the west coast of England to Newfoundland in the USA, despite the claims of science that it could not be done. In 1924 he convinced the British government to encircle the world with a chain of wireless

46、 stations using the latest technology that he had devised, shortwave radio. There are some who say Marconi lost his edge when commercial broadcasting came along; he didnt see that radio could or should be used to frivolous (P |) ends. In one of his last public speeches, a radio broadcast to the Unit

47、ed States in March 1937, he deplored that broadcasting had become a one-way means of communication and foresaw it moving in another direction, toward communication as a means of exchange. That was visionary genius.D Marconis career was devoted to making wireless communication happen cheaply, efficie

48、ntly, smoothly, and with an elegance that would appear to be intuitive and uncomplicated to the user一 user-friendly, if you will. There is a direct connection from Marconi to todays social media, search engines, and program streaming that can best be summed up by an admittedly provocative exclamation: the 20th century did not exist. In a sense, Marconis vision jumped from his time to our own.E Marconi invented the idea of global communication-or, more straightforwardly, globally networked, mobile, wireless communi
