ESPN Sports Programming

ESPN takes its sports content and programming to the next level with its dynamic and eye-catching site filled with large, high-quality pictures and videos. The "featured sports" slider is thoroughly entrancing and does an excellent job of showcasing each of the sports alongside interesting statistics and informative details about available programs.

Revols

Revols takes a bold (突出的)approach on its website by enlarging its small, advanced headphones in photographs and videos. The photography and video make the site amazingly product-focused, so its users slowly become more and more absorbed in the experience these headphones can give you. The large font (字型)treatment on this site is also a nice touch and adds to the larger-than-life earbud photography.

Zillow

Finding the perfect home is all about being able to conveniently research exactly what you're looking for, save and store what you like, and make it easy to find it all later on. Zillow hits the nail on the head for all three of these points. The search area within the hero area makes it easy for new users to quickly select and search listings without having to look for some hidden search page.

Montage

Montage takes showing-off its product to the next level with this homepage that clearly outlines what its product is, how it looks, product quality, and testimonials. The site is an excellent example of one approach you can use to highlight your product and the most important points your users would be concerned with finding answers to.

【题目】 Can creativity be taught? That’s a question without a simple yes or no answer. Creativity may not be able to be taught directly, but what you can get better at is frequently targeting at the circumstances of life which bring up the greatest chances for true creative expression. 1, but more like something which manifests (显现) itself inside those who learn to develop it and create the right conditions for it.

Limit your selection of tools to only the most vital. 2. You’ll be sharper than someone who merely fights with a larger set of tools.

【题目】 In the fall of 2017, when Paula Aldridge needed to get a job, she found herself at a crossroads. The 50-year-old wasn’t sure she would ever work again, due to health issues.

But Aldridge’s life and career journey started to turn around after she connected with Goodwill of Central Iowa’s skills training programs. These programs are tailored to help people develop the kind of specific, real-world skills they need to get and keep a job, through a combination of detailed instruction and hands-on experience.

When Aldridge first connected with Goodwill in September 2017, she was dealing with several barriers to immediate employment. Transportation was challenging, as she didn’t have a driver’s license or own a car. Aldridge also had a limited work history with long employment gaps (间断) , meaning she missed out on learning important skills, such as working a credit card machine. On top of that, her physical health issues were also a problem.

According to Kayleigh Duff, a career specialist at Goodwill of Central Iowa, the biggest barrier Aldridge had to overcome was from within. “She said outwardly that she had all of this confidence and that she knew how strong a worker she was, but I don’t think she truly believed it herself.”

Thankfully, Aldridge had plenty of people on her side to provide motivation and guidance. She originally started off in the food service training program but was eager to enter the retail (零售) skills program, since she had previously worked at the Salvation Army and Subway. When Aldridge mentioned her interest in retail, Duff recognized that her go-getting attitude would be a perfect match for the program.

The seven-week retail skills training is a systematic program combining classroom instruction with on- the-job experience at a Goodwill store. As Aldridge progressed and graduated from the program, she became more confident in her abilities.

Duff said it was great to see how Aldridge grew into the devoted, driven worker she is today. “She has this strong desire, this longing to succeed. And she knows that she’s able to do that, although she has fallen short in the past.”

2What was the biggest problem Aldridge faced according to Duff?

4What’s the main idea of the text?
