Blake Mycoskie set up five businesses, but later he sold them all at a profit.

Feeling

a

bit

burned

out

from

work,

Mycoskie

decided

to

give

it

a

break

for

a

while

and headed down to Argentina for some rest. But rest isn't really part of a

businessman’s make

-up. It's in their nature to keep having good business ideas.

On a visit to a village outside Buenos Aires, he was shocked to see that many

children didn’t have any shoes or, if they did，

the shoes were badly worn. Since

shoes

—

particularly

the

local

farmers

，

canvas(

帆布的

)shoes

—

can

be

bought

cheaply

in

Argentina,

Mycoskie5s

first

instinct(

本能

)

was

to

set

up

a

charity

to

donate

shoes

to

the children.

But after giving it some

was not a model that would work. One

thought, he realized that this

pair

of

shoes

per

child

would

not

make

that

much difference

，

because they wear out(

磨损

). And if he asked people to donate

repeatedly

—

to

provide

new

shoes

for

the

same

child

every

six

months

—

the

donors

，

sympathy(

同情）

for the cause might also wear out pretty quickly.

Instead he came up with the

idea

of “TOMS:

one

-for-

one shoes”. He

would take

the canvas shoe to America, manufacture it and sell it as a high end fashion item

at around $$ 50 a pair. For each pair he sold he would donate one pair to shoeless

village children. That way he could guarantee a continual supply.

Several years on

，

the business is very successful, supplying shoes not only to

children

in

Argentina

but

also

other

parts

of

the

world.

But

is

the

one-for-one

model

one that can be repeated with other products? Mycoskie is doubtful. TOMS is a

for-profit business, but does not yet make a profit. He says one-for-one is not an

offer that you can just add to your existing business model; you have to build it

in from the beginning.

Some would also argue that the charity aspect is just a marketing tool

，

but in

the

end

does

that

matter?

TOMS

is

making

a

real

difference

to

poor

children

all

over

the world and Mycoskie is enjoying being a businessman more than ever.

24. Why did Blake Mycoskie go to Argentina?

A. To go for relaxation.

seek business cooperation.

look for new business ideas.

learn to make canvas shoes.

25.

Why didn’t Blake Mycoskie set up a charity?

A.

He wasn’t interested in running a charity.

B. He had no real experience of running a charity.

C. A charity would make no difference to the children.

D. A charity could not donate shoes to the children continually.

26. Why did Blake Mycoskie set up TOMS?

help poor children.

B.

To

support a charity.

win national fame. D.

To

expand his business.

27. What do we know about TOMS?

A. It has made a profit.

B. It only supplies shoes to children in Argentina.

C. It gives Mycoskie a sense of achievement.

D. It can be a model for other kinds of products

China was a latecomer to space exploration, and in the movies, it has been a

latecomer to science fiction, too. That is about to change. The country’s first

blockbuster (

大片）

set in space, The Wandering Earth, opens Tuesday with great

expectations

that

it

will

represent

the

dawning

of

a

new

age

in

Chinese

filmmaking.

The

film

also

opens

with

the

Lunar

New

Year,

the

beginning

of

an

official

，

weeklong

holiday that is traditionally a peak box-office period in China. It has a limited

show in the United States, Canada

，

Australia and New Zealand.

The

Wandering

Earth,

shown

in

3-D,

takes

place

in

a

distant

future

in

which

the

sun

is

about

to

expand

into

a

red

giant

and

destroy

the

Earth.

The

approaching

danger

forces

the

world’s

engineers

to

make

a

plan

to

move

the

planet

to

a

new

solar

system

using giant

thrusters (

推进器

).Things

go very badly when the Earth has

to pass

the

Jupiter, setting off desperate disturbance to save humanity from ruin.

The

film

comes

as

China

reached

a

milestone(

里程碑）

in

space

:

the

landing

of

a probe (

探测器）

on the far side of the moon in January. Although decades behind

Russia

and

the

United

States,

China

has

now

put

astronauts

in

orbit

and

has

ambitious

plans to join or even lead a new age of space exploration.

“I think there is a very close connection between Chinese cinema and the

nation’s fortunes，”said Sha Dan, a leader at the China Film Archive, “When we

have

the

ability

to

rescue

our

people

abroad,

we

can

make

movies

like

Operation

Red

Sea. Only when China can enter the space age can we make works like The Wandering

Earth.”

The Wandering Earth takes for granted China’s central role in future space

exploration

，

but it also has a vision of the international teamwork necessary to

deal

with

the

threats

facing

the

planet,

a

theme

that

runs

deeply

through

the

film.
