Ma Yun became one of the richest men in China when his company Alibaba went on the stock market(上市) in 2014 with a value of $140 billion-the largest public offering in history. Here are some stories about him on the way to success. Ma made his first trip to the USA in 1995 and used the Internet for the first time. After searching for "beer", he saw that no results came up about China. Then he searched for "China" and still saw no results .He decided to set up a Chinese website-- the seed for Alibaba was sown (播种).
Ma said he was refused many times in his life. He failed the College Entrance Examination on in China three times and few companies offered him jobs, including one at KFC. And he was refused by the famous Harvard University 10 times.
It was difficult to learn English when Ma was a teenager because of limited resources. However, he found that he could learn English well by giving tourists free guides around his hometown Hangzhou. And he kept it for nine years. Ma said that tourists opened up a new world for him because everything they said and did was so different from what he had been taught at school and by his parents.
Ma's hero is Forest Gump who never gives up. When he made a speech about his success at Davos (达沃斯论坛) in 2015, Ma said, "Life is like a box of chocolates because you never know what you are going to get."
Do you think there is too much noise in our city? perhaps you do. If you live near an airport, you will probably feel unhappy because of the noise of jet planes (喷气式飞机). It is said that the noise of planes or trains or trucks can make one deaf if he keeps on hearing it.
Noise is a kind of pollution. However, most people in our city do not seem to mind noise. They do not know it harmful to their health. They like to enjoy music when they are doing their work. It is a new danger that music is played through powerful loudspeakers. It can reach 120 decibels (分贝).
It is known that continuous noise of over 85 decibels can make people deaf. For example, when newspapers and books are being printed, the noise is over 85 decibels, and some of the workers become deaf. Scientists believe that 10%b of all the workers in British printing offices have been deafened (使......聋) by the noise. Besides, noise of less than 85 decibels can make some people tired and anxious. We all know that too much noise makes life difficult and unpleasant. It can do great harm to health and prevent people from working well. Workers in noisy offices are not so efficient (有效的) as workers in quiet offices. Noise makes people less efficient. Can anything be done to keep down noise?
In Britain, the government has made several laws to keep down noise. It has spent a good deal of money making airports and main roads quieter. In Japan, America and Canada there are such laws, too.
Stephen Hawking, a world famous British physicist, will write a children's book with his daughter. Hawking said the book will be "a bit like Harry Potter" but without the magic. "It explains the wonders of the universe(宇宙)," said Hawking, while he was on a visit to Hong Kong last week.
Hawking, 64, is probably the world's most famous scientist after Albert Einstein. He is an expert on black holes. He has put his whole life into digging into the beginning (and the end) of the universe.
"My goal is simple," Hawking once said. "It is to completely understand the universe, why it is and why it is there at all."
Hawking has a bad illness that stops him from moving or talking. For a period of time, he had no way to communicate except(除了) by blinking(眨眼).
Now he sits on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate, he moves two fingers to control the computer's mouse. He selects(挑选) his words from the screen, which are then spoken by a voice synthesizer(音乐合成器).
"I have had the disease for most of my life," Hawking once said. "Yet it has not stopped me from being successful at my work."
Although Hawking is such a disabled man, he made great achievements(成就). He has received many awards and prizes for his work over the years. This includes winning the Albert Einstein Award. It is the highest achievement in theoretical physics(理论物理).
