Earlier this month, the office asked for the publics help to measure their speed results, saying consumers 28 to get the speeds they were promised. “Too many of us may be paying for one thing,

25、and getting another,” the Attorney General said. If the investigation uncovers anything, it wouldnt be the first time a telecom provider got into 29 over the broadband speeds it promised and delivered customers. Back in June, the Federal Communications Commission fined AT&T $100 million over 30 that

26、 the carrier secretly reduced wireless speeds after customers consumed a certain amount of 31 .

30、er. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.From Accountant to Yogi: Making a Radical Career ChangeA) At some point, almost all of us will experience a period of radical professional change. Some of us will seek it out; for others it will feel like an unwelcome int

31、rusion into otherwise stable careers. Either way, we have choices about how we respond to it when it comes.B) We recently caught up with yoga entrepreneur Leah Zeccaria, who put herself through the fire of change to completely reinvent herself. In her search to live a life of purpose, Leah left her

32、high-paying accounting job, her husband, and her home. In the process, she built a radically new lift and career. Since then, she has founded two yoga studios, met new life partner, and formed a new community of people. Even if your personal reinvention is less drastic, we think there are lessons fr

33、om her experience that apply.C) Where do the seeds of change come from? The Native American Indians have a saying: “Pay attention to the whispers so you wont have to hear the screams.” Often the best ideas for big changes come from unexpected places its just matter of turning in. Great leaders recog

34、nize the weak signals or slight signs that point to big changes to come. Leah reflects on a time she listened to the whispers: “About the time my daughter was five years old, I started having a sense that this isnt right.” She then realized that life no longer matched her vision for it.D) Up until t

35、hat point, Lech had followed traditional measures of success. After graduating with a degree in business and accounting, she joined a public accounting firm, married, bought a house, put lots of stuff in it, and had a baby. “I did what everybody else thought looked successful,” she says. Leah easily

36、 could have fallen into a trap of feeling content; instead, her energy sparked a period of experimentation and renewal.E) Feeling the need to change. Leah started playing with future possibilities by exploring her interest and developing new capabilities. First trying physical exercise and dieting,

37、she lost some weight and discovered an inner strength. “I felt powerful because I broke through my own limitations,” she recalls.F) However, it was another interest that led Leah to radically reinvent herself. “I remember sitting on a bench with my aunt at a yoga studio,” she said, “and having a mom

38、ent of clarity right then and there. Yoga is saving my life. Yoga is waking me up. I m not happy and I want to change and Im done with this.” In that moment of clarity Leah made an important leap, conquering her inner resistance to change and making a firm commitment to take bigger steps.G) Creating

39、 the future you want is a lot easier if you are ready to exploit the opportunities that come your way. When Leah made the commitment to change, she primed herself to new opportunities she may otherwise have overlooked. She recallsH) One day a man I worked with, Ryan, who had his office next to mine,

40、 said, “Leah, lets go look at this space on Queen Anne.” He knew my love for yoga and had seen a space close to where he lived that he thought might be good to serve as a yoga studio. As soon as I saw the location, I knew this was it. Of course I was scared, yet I had this strong sense of “I have to

41、 do this.” Only a few months later Leah opened her first yoga studio, but success was not instant.I) Creating the future takes time. Thats why leaders continue to manage the present while building toward the big changes of the future. When its time to make the leap, they take action and immediately

42、drop whats no longer serving their purpose. Initially Leah stayed with her accounting job while starting up the yoga studio to make it all work. J) Soon after, she knew she had to make a bold move to fully commit to her new future. Within two years, Leah shed the safety of her accounting job and mad

43、e the switch complete. Such drastic change is not easy. K) Steering through change and facing obstacles brings us face to face with our fears. Leah reflects on one incident that triggered her fears, when her investors threatened to shut her down: “I was probably up against the most fear Ive ever had

44、,” she says. “I had spent two years cultivating this community, and it had become successful very fast, but within six months I was facing the prospect of losing it all.”L) She connected with her sense of purpose and dug deep, cultivating a tremendous sense of strength. “I was feeling so intentional

45、 and strong that I wasnt going to let fear just take over. I was thinking, OK, guys, if you want to try to shut me down, shut me down. And I knew it was a negotiation scheme, so I was able to say to myself, This is not real.” By naming her fears and facing them head-on, Leah gained confidence. For m

46、ost of us, letting go of the safety and security of the past gives us great fear. Calling out our fears explicitly, as Leah did, can help us act decisively.M) The cycle of renewal never ends. Leahs growth spurred her to open her second studio - and it wasnt for the moneyN) I have no desire to make millions of dollars. Its not about that; its about growth for me. Honestly, I didnt need to open a second studio. I was making as much money as I was as an accountant. But I know if y
