第一篇
India’s economy will soon overtake Japan’s
印度经济体将取代日本——印度能复刻中国奇迹吗
Source: The Economist
China overtook Japan in 2010 to become the world’s second ______（large）economy, a title Japan had held for almost 40 years. It went on to become the world’s biggest manufacturer, a dominant buyer of commodities (n.商品；日用品；商品期货) and______ holder of $3trn of foreign-exchange reserves.
Will the world see such a rise again India hopes so. In the coming months it is likely ______（overtake） Japan and become the second-biggest economy in Asia and the fourth largest in the world (behind America, China and Germany). India’s population is already bigger than China’s and its economy is likely to grow two or three percentage points faster in the next few years. India’s leaders want its GDP to reach $5trn by 2028 and exports of goods and services to reach $1trn apiece (adv.各自地) by 2030.
India also aims to benefit from the geopolitical tension that China’s rise has provoked. Manufacturers scared by Sino-American (adj.中美的) tension see India______ an alternative. Canalys, a market-research firm, says Apple will produce over a fifth of its iPhones in India by the end of 2025.
So will India make as big a splash (n. 引人注目的效果) The short answer is no, because of the scale and style of its development. In 2010, Japan’s economy was still over 8% of world GDP. ______ its clout (n.影响力) has diminished. By the time India overtakes it in a year or two, Japan’s share of world GDP will be less than 4%.
India’s workforce remains only three-quarters of the size of China’s, ______（part）because it includes so few women. Social trends can change. But on some projections, India’s labour force will not surpass China’s until the 2040s. Even then, India will account for a smaller share of the global workforce than China does today.
That will make______harder for India to become the world’s workshop. Even if it meets the government’s $1trn target, its goods exports will be just 3% of the global total in 2030, says Citigroup, a bank. South Korea achieved that share ten years ago.
India’s exports of services are more impressive. Its share of the global total could reach 6% by 2030, according to Citi (花旗银行), up from 4.6% in 2023. Multinationals are keeping legal and HR work in-house but moving it offshore, ______（set） up “global capability centres” in India. That will threaten some ______（skill） jobs in the West. But PwC, an accountant, says the centres could employ just 3.4m people by 2028.
An “India shock”, then, is not likely. Nor is another savings glut (n.（商品）供过于求). India’s investment ______（need） tend to exceed its own saving rates, so large net capital outflows are unlikely. Indeed, capital will be attracted to India’s liquid stockmarkets and the inclusion of its bonds in global indices. India’s rise will be less spectacular than China’s, and less likely to provoke a backlash.

Why some of us don't have one true calling (1/2)
为什么你无法专注于一件事（上）

If you've ever been asked the question "What do you want to be when you grow up I'm someone ______ has never been able to answer the question. The problem wasn't that I didn't have any interests-- it's that I had too many. In high school, I liked English and math and art and I built websites and I played guitar in a punk band.
This continued after high school, and at a certain point, I began to notice this pattern in myself ______ I would become interested in an area and I would dive in, become all- consumed, and I'd get to be pretty good at whatever it was, and then I would hit this point where I'd start to get bored.
And usually I would try and persist anyway, because I had already devoted so much time and energy and sometimes money ______ this field. But eventually this sense of boredom, this feeling of, like, yeah, I got this, this isn't challenging anymore-- it would get to be too much. And I would have to let it go.
But then I would become interested in something else, something totally ______（related）, and I would dive into that, and become all- consumed, and I'd be like, "Yes! I found my thing, "and then I would hit this point again where I'd start to get bored. And eventually, I would let it go.
This pattern caused me a lot of anxiety, for two reasons. The first was that I wasn't sure______ I was going to turn any of this into a career. I thought that I would eventually have to pick one thing, deny all of my other ______（passion）, and just resign myself to being bored. The other reason it caused me so much anxiety was a little bit ______（personal）. I worried that there was something wrong with this, and something wrong with me for being unable to stick with anything. I worried that I was afraid of commitment, or that I was scattered, or that I was self-sabotaging (adj.自我破坏的), afraid of my own success.
If you can relate to my story and to these feelings, I'd like you to ask yourself a question that I wish I had asked myself back then. Ask yourself where you learned to assign the meaning of wrong or abnormal to doing many things. I'll tell you where you learned it: you learned it from the culture.
We are first asked the question "What do you want to be when you grow up " when we're about five years old. It ______（consider） an innocuous (adj.无伤大雅的) question, posed to little kids to elicit (v.引出，得到) cute replies, like, "I want to be an astronaut, "or" I want to be a ballerina (n.芭蕾舞女演员).
______ this question gets asked of us again and again as we get older in various forms -- for instance, high school students might get asked what major they're going to pick in college. And at some point, "What do you want to be when you grow up " goes from being the cute exercise it once was to the thing that keeps us up at night. Why
See, while this question inspires kids to dream about what they could be, it does not inspire them to dream about all that they could be. In fact, it does just______ opposite, because when someone asks you what you want to be, you can't reply with 20 different things, though well-meaning adults will likely chuckle (v.轻声笑) and be like, "Oh, how cute, but you can't be a violin maker and a psychologist. You have to choose. "

Why some of us don't have one true calling (2/2)
为什么你无法专注于一件事（下）
Source: TED By Emilie Wapnick
Dr. Bob Childs is a luthier (n.弦乐器制作者) and psychotherapist. And Amy Ng, a magazine editor turned illustrator, entrepreneur, teacher and creative director. But most kids don't hear about people like this. All they hear is ______they're going to have to choose.
But what if you're someone who isn't wired this way What if there are a lot of different subjects that you're curious about, and many different things you want to do Well, there is no room for someone______ you in this framework. So you might feel like there's something wrong with you. There's nothing wrong with you. What you are is a multipotentialite (n.多重潜能者).
A multipotentialite is someone with many interests and creative ______（pursuit）p. It's easy to see your multipotentiality as a limitation or______ affliction (n.苦恼) that you need to overcome. But what I've learned through speaking with people and writing about these ideas on my website, is that there are some tremendous strengths to being this way.
One: idea synthesis (n.综合). That is, combining two or more fields and creating something new at the intersection (n.交集). Sha Hwang and Rachel Binx drew from their shared interests in cartography (n.制图学), data visualization, travel, mathematics and design, when they founded Meshu. Meshu is a company that creates custom geographically-inspired jewelry. Sha and Rachel came up with this unique idea not despite,______ because of their eclectic mix of skills and experiences.
The second multipotentialite superpower is rapid learning. When multipotentialites become interested in something, we go hard. We observe everything we can get our hands on. We're also used to ______（be） beginners, because we've been beginners so many times in the past, and this means that we're less afraid of trying new things and ______（step） out of our comfort zones. What's more, many skills are transferable across disciplines, and we bring everything we've learned to every new area we pursue, so we're rarely starting from scratch.
The third multipotentialite superpower is adaptability; that is, the ability to morph (v.变化) into whatever you need to be in a given situation. Abe Cajudo is sometimes a video director, sometimes a web designer, sometimes a Kickstarter consultant, sometimes a teacher, and sometimes, ______（apparent）, James Bond.
Idea synthesis, rapid learning and adaptability are three skills that multipotentialites are very adept at, and they might lose if______（pressure） to narrow their focus. As a society, we have a vested interest in encouraging multipotentialites to be ______（they）. We have a lot of complex, multidimensional problems in the world right now, and we need creative, out-of-the-box thinkers to tackle them.

第一篇：
中国在2010年超越日本，成为世界第二大经济体，这一排名日本保持了近40年。随后，中国成为世界最大的制造业国家，主导了大宗商品的采购，并拥有3万亿美元的外汇储备。
世界会再次见证如此的崛起吗？印度希望复刻如此奇迹。在未来几个月，印度很可能超越日本，成为亚洲第二大经济体，世界第四大经济体（仅次于美国、中国和德国）。印度的人口已经超过中国，并且预计其经济在未来几年将增长比中国快两到三个百分点。印度的领导人希望到2028年其GDP能达到5万亿美元，到2030年，商品和服务的出口分别达到1万亿美元。
印度还想从中国地缘政治紧张局势中获益。由于中美紧张关系令许多制造商感到担忧，他们将印度视为替代选择。市场研究公司 Canalys 表示，到2025年底，印度生产的IPhone将占苹果公司的五分之一
那么，印度会像中国一样崛起嘛？答案是否定的，因为印度的发展规模和方式别具一格。2010年，日本经济仍占全球GDP的8%以上，但其影响力已经减弱。等到印度在一两年后超越日本时，日本在全球GDP中的份额将不到4%
印度的劳动力规模仍仅为中国的四分之三，部分原因是劳动力人口中女性人数较少。社会趋势虽然是变化的。但根据一些预测，印度的劳动力要到2040年代才会超越中国。即便如此，到那时，印度在全球劳动力市场中的份额也将低于今天的中国。
即使印度实现政府设定的1万亿美元目标，也很难成为世界的工厂。花旗银行（Citigroup）表示，到2030年，印度的商品出口将仅占全球总量的3%。而韩国十年前就达到了这一份额。
印度的服务出口表现更为引人注目。根据花旗银行的预测，到2030年，印度在全球服务出口中的份额可能会从2023年的4.6%上升至6%。跨国公司将法律和人力资源工作保留在本部，其他业务外包到印度，设立“全球能力中心”。这将威胁到西方一些高技能职位。然而，普华永道（PwC）表示，即便到2028年，这些中心的员工也可能仅为340万人。
因此，所谓的“印度奇迹”不太可能发生，也不会出现类似的储蓄过剩。印度的投资需求往往超过其自身的储蓄率，因此大规模的资本外流不太可能发生。实际上，资本将被印度的流动性股市以及其债券纳入全球指数所吸引。印度的崛起将不像中国那样引人注目，也不太可能引发强烈的反弹。
第二篇：
你们是否曾被问过这个问题，“你长大之后想干什么 ”我永远无法回答这个问题。
并不是说我没有兴趣爱好，而是我的兴趣爱好太多。高中的时候，我喜欢英语、数学和艺术，建过网站，在一个朋克乐队当吉他手。
高中毕业后我也依旧兴趣广泛，某一天，我发现自己有一个行为模式，我会对某一个领域感兴趣，然后一头扎进去，认真钻研，变得越来越擅长，但到了某一个阶段，我就会开始觉得无聊。
通常我会继续坚持下去，因为我已经投入了很多时间和精力，有时候还有金钱。但是最终这种无聊的感觉，就像在说，哦，这事我已经会了，已经没有任何挑战了，再继续也不会有多大成就了。我必须要放手。
但之后我可能又会对另一些事感兴趣，跟之前完全不同的领域，我又会一头扎进去，认真钻研，然后说，“太棒了！这就是我的菜！”之后我又会达到那个阶段，开始觉得无聊。
这种模式让我非常焦虑，原因有两点。一是我不确定如何才能将这些兴趣变成我的职业。我觉得自己最终会从(这些兴趣)里面挑一个，而对其他爱好忍痛割爱，做好将来一定会无聊的心理准备。让我非常焦虑的第二个原因，跟我自身有关。我担心自己的这种行为模式是错的，自己这么朝三暮四，是不是错了。我是不是害怕做出承诺，或者自由散漫，破罐子破摔，惧怕成功。
如果你能理解我的故事和我的感受，请你们问自己一个问题，这个问题我早就该问自己的。就是，你是从哪里学到该如何判断我们的所作所为是错误的或者不正常的。我来告诉你答案：是从我们的文化中学到的。
我们第一次被问到“你长大之后想干什么 ”是在差不多五岁的时候。这仅仅是一个无伤大雅的问题，为的是让小朋友做出可爱的回应，比如，“我想当宇航员”，或者“我想当芭蕾舞演员”。
然而这个问题，在我们成长的过程中会不断被问到形式多种多样，比如，高中生会被问到，你们在大学准备选什么专业。突然有一天，“你长大之后想干什么 ”从原本一种秀可爱的方式变成了让我们寝食难安的难题。为什么会这样
尽管这个问题鼓励小朋友想象自己将来要做什么，但它并未给小朋友充分想象的自由。恰恰相反，它限制了小朋友想象的自由，因为有人问你长大后想做什么，你不可能回答20种不同的职业，尽管有些善良的大人会笑呵呵地说，“哦，你太可爱了，但是你不能同时成为小提琴制作家和心理学家啊。你必须选一个。”
第三篇：
鲍勃·柴尔兹博士是一名弦乐器工匠和心理医生。艾米·恩，之前是杂志编辑，后来成为插画作家，企业家教师和创意总监。但大部分孩子都没听说过他们。他们听到的只是要他们进行选择和取舍。
但如果你不是这样的人呢 如果你对很多事都有好奇心，想去尝试各种各样的职业呢 那么在现有体系中，你很难有容身之处。你也许会觉得自己是不是有问题。你没有问题。你是一名“多重潜力者”。
“多重潜力者”拥有多种兴趣并且追求创新。人们很容易把多重潜力视为一种局限或者痛苦，需要克服。但我通过与人们交流，以及把这些观点发到我的网站上，我发现多重潜力者有很多优点。多重潜力者拥有三种“超能力”。
第一是产生创意。就是说，结合两个或两个以上领域从结合处寻求创新。黄沙和瑞秋·宾克斯找到了共同的兴趣爱好，像制图，数据可视化，旅行，数学和设计，之后他们创办了Meshu。Meshu是一家定制珠宝公司，专门制作具有地域特色的珠宝。黄沙和瑞秋之所以能产生这个独特的创意，正是因为他俩博学多才，经历丰富。
多重潜力者的第二种超能力是快速学习。当多重潜力者对某件事产生兴趣时，我们会全身心投入。我们仔细观察，勤于实践。我们已经习惯于当初学者，因为我们过去曾当过无数次初学者，我们不怕尝试新事物，勇于走出舒适区。除此以外，很多能力在各个学科都是通用的，我们将之前所学用于新领域，而不用从零开始。
第三种“超能力”是适应性。也就是说，如果有需要，你能变成任何角色，以适应不同的情况。艾比·卡胡多有时候是视频导演，有时候是网站设计师，有时候是众筹顾问，有时候是老师，有时候，很明显，是詹姆斯·邦德。
产生创意，快速学习和适应性是多重潜力者非常擅长的三种能力，如果强迫他们缩小自己的关注范围，这三种能力也许就会丧失。作为一个社会，鼓励多重潜力者保持本色对我们有利。我们如今面临许多复杂问题，涉及许多方面，我们需要有创意的、能破除思维定式的思想者来解决这些问题。
