题目内容

20.Born in the State of New York on May 14th,1984,Mark Zuckerberg was an instant success.In his high school years,he was considered one of top students in the classics,before moving into the arts,sciences,and literature,again picking up high marks and receiving academic praise.It earned him admission to Harvard University.
    As a rebellious but relatively quiet student,he created a website called Facemash in the university-an instantly controversial website that encouraged students to rate each other based on appearance.
    The site was controversial for several reasons.The first was its illegal use of photographs,which the university and students took issue with.The second was its controversial nature---not every student like being ranked based on their appearance.The third was its huge resource use---while it was hosted on Harvard servers,it was the most popular page in the university's entire network.
    Zuckerberg was soon forced to shut the site down,but its popularity and controversy had made him consider its future potential(有潜力的).He soon turned the simple site into a personal one for Harvard students,encouraging them to network with their peers at the college.It was then,together with his two friends,that they launched"The Facebook",which immediately spread to other colleges and grew into a public service that anyone could access in the United States,whether to network with friends and family,or to play games.
    The company has been criticized frequently,however,Zuckerberg has remained true to his initial(最初的) vision-to create a website that the entire world can use to communicate openly and easily with one another and to keep the user experience clean and pure.The end result is one of the world's biggest online businesses.
    Although its true value is debatable,it's safe to say that Facebook,and its creator Mark Zuckerberg,are two of the twenty-first century's most influential,controversial,and potentially powerful figures.

12.What do you see from a handful of seeds?Some see green plants,some see blooming flowers,or just seeds.But one group of Shanghai students saw an opportunity to make money.
Eight students from No 2Secondary School Attached to East China Normal University started a virtual company selling different seeds and seed products.They successfully sold 28pictures pasted with different seeds at a campus auction a week ago.The company,which has recruited around 20student staff members,has earned over 2000yuan in the past three months.

Just like any other company,Shi's didn't develop smoothly.Shi and her young colleagues used to sell fresh flowers and old books,and later found seeds might be something that their company could engage in.They bought seeds of various plants and flowers at low prices from a local farm and sold them in schools or on streets.The creative students also made accessories and pictures with different seeds.

"They helped us overcome our shyness.We also learned quite a lot of business theory.I found communication skills and teamwork are very important for my job,"said Senior 1Qian Yifei.
The 16-year-old was elected as PR manager thanks to her talent for speaking.She is also in charge of after sales service,dealing with complaints and providing suggestions.
As the head of the company,CEO Shi has a lot more to think about.First of all,she has to learn how to make her colleagues work efficiently as the company only opens at weekends due to all their studies.So she established a system to evaluate every one's performance,in terms of punctuality,efficiency,profits knowledge and so on.
