FestivalIn business，there's a speed difference：It's the difference between how important a firm's leaders say speed is to their competitive strategy and how 7fast the company actually movesThe difference is important regardless of industry and company sizeCompanies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speedIn our study of 343businesses，the companies that chose to go，go，go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right trackWhat's more，the firms that“slowed down to speed up“improved their top and bottom lines，averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a threeyear periodHow did they disobey the laws of business physics，taking more time than competitors yet performing better？They thought differently about what“slower“and“faster“meanFirms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operational 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 differenceBut that often leads to reduced value over time，in the form of lowerquality products and servicesIn our study，highercompanies with strategic speed always made changes when necessaryThey became more open to ideas and discussionThey encouraged new ways of thinkingAnd they allowed time to look back and learnBy contrast，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 changesStrategic speed serves as a kind of leadershipTeams that regularly take time to get things right，rather than plough ahead full bore，are more successful in meeting their business goalsThat kind of strategy must come from the top41What does the underlined part“gain an edge“in Paragraph 2 mean？ AGet an advantage BIncrease the speed8CReach the limitDSet a goal42The underlined part“the laws of business physics“in Paragraph 3 means Aspending more time and performing worseBspending more time and performing betterCspending less time and performing worseDspending less time and performing better43What can we learn from the text？ AHow fast a firm moves depends on how big it isBHow competitive a firm is depends on what it producesCFirms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changesDFirms guided by operational speed take time to develop necessary team spirit44According to the author，what is the key to deciding strategic speed？ APausing at key momentsBThe size of companyCThe bossDThe quality of the products45Which could be the best title for the text？ AImprove quality？Serve betterBDeliver value？Plough aheadCReduce time？Move fasterDNeed speed？Slow down46 （10 分）My grandma whom we all called Nanny was a solid，firstgeneration，Italian immigrantShe came to this country with her family on a tiny ship during World War I when she was only 8years oldDuring the trip she survived stormy seas，little food，and an attack by a German UboatAfter getting here，her large family worked hard to build a new life in AmericaThey never had much money but were rich in love9One day，when I was about 5or 6years old，my parents and brothers went on a tripIt was just me and Nanny in the house for the weekendNanny seemed so happy to be taking care of me all by herselfShe made me a special breakfast that first morningHowever，all I could do was to complain about how the food was not how Mom always made itNanny quietly put down the plate and went into the living roomI followed a minute later and saw that she had tears in her eyesIt was the first time I had ever seen my strong and proud grandmother cry and I was the one who had caused itI walked over to Nanny，climbed on her lap，and for the first time in my short life I did something else tooI apologized without being told to and asked Nanny to forgive meShe smiled，rubbed my head，and told me I was a good boy even though I didn't feel like one thenThat memory just like my Nanny's love will stay in my heart foreverIt is a sign of both strength and wisdomAsking for forgiveness helps us to learn，to grow，and to love46Nanny's family immigrated to America mainly because Athey suffered starvation in their homelandBthey wanted to start a rich life in the new landCthey tried to get away from the terrible climateDtheir country was in war and they needed peace47The boy complained to Nanny that the food Awasn't cooked the way his mom did Bwas served a bit later than usualCwas prepared in a special way Dwas just to his parents'taste48When seeing Nanny crying in the living room，the author felt Asurprised Bashamed Cshocked 10Dannoyed49The author mainly wants to tell us that Aforgiveness can be beneficial to people asking for itBhardships can make children more indifferentCgrandparents are more tolerant than their grandchildrenDfamily ties can sometimes be misused50What kind of person is Nanny in author's eyes？ AJoyous and jealousBHardworking and carefulCStrongwilled and wiseDKind and sensitiveWouldn't it be wonderful to travel to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language？In a recent Wall Street Journal article，technology policy expert Alec Ross argued that，within a decade or so，we'll be able to communicate with one another via small earpieces with builtin microphonesThat's because technological progress is extremely rapidIt's only a matter of timeIndeed，some parents are so convinced that this technology is imminent that they're wondering if their kids should even learn a second languageIt's true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy of the data loaded into computers will make them cleverer at translating“No es bueno dormir mucho“as“It's not good to sleep too much“Replacing a word with its equivalent （同义词）in the target language is actually the“easy part“of a translator's jobBut even this seems to be a discouraging task for computersIt's so difficult for computers because translation doesn'tor shouldn'tinvolve simply translating words，sentences or paragraphsRather，it's about translating meaningAnd in order to infer meaning from a specific expression，humans have to interpret a mass of information at the same timeThink about all the related clues that go into understanding an 11expression：volume，gesture，situation，and even your cultureAll
