4.Social Practice
Social practice has been more and more popular in schools.Senior school students are asked to enter society and get some ideas of it.Surely,social practice has many advantages.Firstly,social practice can offer students a chance to contact society and meet different kinds of people.In this way students can gain some precious social experience,which will be useful to their future career.Secondly,students can apply what they have learned in class to practical work,thus knowing themselves more clearly.Thirdly,social practice can bring them some financial reward and make them more independent of their family.
However,some problems may arise if no correct guidance is made.For example,some students get overly interested in social practice and want to work full-time and earn more money,thus neglecting their studies.And some students are likely to get in touch with the dark side of society,which will affect their future studies.
In order to carry out social practice smoothly,students should first know its objective.They should put their studies in the first place and see social practice just as a useful supplement,so they ought to try to strike a balance between social practice and their studies.

概括准确,语言规范,内容合适,篇章连贯.The passage states the benefits and the worry of social practice for senior school students:it enriches students'social experience and rewards them with money,but it may affect their studies and values.So,students should balance their studies and social practice.
Knowledge is a treasure,but practice is the key to it.Nowadays,more students have opportunities to join in various social activities,including military training,voluntary work in a community service,a part-time job in a super-market,etc.They learn how to serve,how to cooperate and how to solve problems.Gradually they will become strong-willed,kind-hearted and enthusiastic in study and life.
Two years ago,I organized a team of classmates to a Charity House where orphans and the disabled live.There we told stories to the blind,we drew beautiful pictures for the deaf,we helped friends in the wheelchair go around.It was the visit that made me realize that helping others should not be only an empty talk and that life is worth cherishing.
Of course,we must strike a balance between study and social practice,never allowing social activities take priority over schoolwork.After all,senior school stage is a vital period for students obtain knowledge and get prepared for their future.Therefore,I strongly suggest that we make full use of our spare time and holiday to participate I that.Only in this way can we refuse to shut ourselves in the campus!.
5.In business,there is a speed difference:It's the difference between how important a firm's leaders say speed is to their competitive (竞争的) strategy(策略)and how fast the company actually moves.The difference is important regardless of industry and company size.Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.
In our study of 343businesses,the companies that chose to go,go,go to try to gain an edge ended with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track.What's more,the firms that"slowed down to speed up"improved their top and bottom lines,averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating income over a three-year period.
How did they disobey the laws of business physics,taking more time than competitors yet performing better?They thought differently about what"slower"and"faster"mean.Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operation speed (moving quickly) and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value).Simply increasing the speed of production,for example,may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference.But that often leads to reduced value over time,in the form of lower-quality products and services.
In our study,higher performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary.They became and discussion.They encouraged new ways of thinking.And they allowed time to look and learn.By contrast (相比而言),performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time,paid too much attention to improving efficiency,stuck to tested methods,didn't develop team spirit among their employees,and had little time thinking about changes.
Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership.Teams that regularly take time to get things right,rather than plough ahead full bore,are more successful in meeting their business goals.That kind of strategy must come from the top.

59.What can we learn from the text?C
A.How fast a firm moves depends on how big it is.
B.How competitive a firm is depends on what it produces.
C.Firms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changes.
