The beauty industry produces many units of one-time use containers every year. More and more consumers are asking how they can keep themselves clean and beautiful without trashing the planet.
It’s a question Women of the Future winner, Natassia Nicolao, considered during her years working in product development for beauty and wellness companies. Raised by a strong and supportive mother, Natassia used her skills and passion to make a difference. In 2021, she created her waterless beauty brand.
She said, “Water is involved in every stage of a product life cycle. Everything we use, buy, sell and make has a huge water footprint. On top of that, the beauty industry adds water as the main ingredients in its products, despite it having no direct benefit to our skin.”
Having lived through water restrictions in drought-ridden Australia, Natassia felt it necessary to stop the overuse of water in the beauty industry. Natassia has always loved beauty. Her company tries to be sustainable in every step of the way, but at its core, it is about removing water from our beauty routines.
“It’s really rooted in water conservation first, and then managing your water footprint, your carbon footprint and your waste footprint,” Natassia said. “We create waterless beauty products to help conserve water.” The glass bottles and jars of her products can be recycled. The oils and wipes are formulated without any water, requiring no water to use. The company also has a piece of game-changing beauty technology: face-wipes and masks that completely dissolve in water.
“The company is still in its beginning,” Natassia said. With the prize money from Women of the Future, she plans to purchase a machine to simplify the creation of the wipes and masks. The publicity, meanwhile, will help her spread the message central to the company’s existence that beauty must do better. Natassia believes that, with a little courage and innovation, it can do.
4．What does the underlined word “trashing” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Studying. B. Damaging. C. Exploding. D. Supporting.
5．What mainly led to the birth of Natassia’s company
A. Her pursuit of profit. B. Her best beauty skills.
C. Her growth environment. D. Her love of extreme beauty.
6．Which can best describe the products of Natassia’s company
A. Environmentally friendly. B. Relatively cheap.
C. Elegant. D. World-famous.
7．How does Natassia feel about the beauty industry
A. It has died out. B. It’s promising. C. It develops well. D. It’s worth analysis.
Research shows that forming connections with your coworkers is good for your career and your overall happiness.
It’s a fact that as you get older, it becomes harder to make friends. It’s a natural progression, whether you work in an office or a remote area. As you get older and leave school, you often have more demands for your time and fewer opportunities to get to know those around you.
“Maintaining friendships takes effort, but it’s well worth it,” says CEO and Fast Company contributor Corey Weiner. “Studies show that a friend can make you a better collaborator (合作者), a more creative and productive worker and generally happier with your job.”
After all, most of you spend a huge number of your waking hours at work. Of course, it’s more fun to have someone to collaborate with and occasionally sympathize with. But how do you go about making genuine connections with coworkers or other like-minded individuals in your industry
It might sound overly simplistic, but a big part of building friendships is just putting yourself out there. “If you’re not used to having a lot of friends any more, you may actually need to remind yourself to engage,” writes Professor Art Markman. “Set time on your calendar for a phone call or make plans to get a cup of coffee.”
“Don’t wait for someone else to make the first move,” says Keith Rollag, author of What to Do When You’re New. “If things go well during an initial coffee or activity, actively follow up to build on that connection.”
You’re not going to immediately bond with all of your coworkers or every person you meet at a networking happy hour. But making continual attempts to find connections with your non-annoying colleagues will eventually pay off. Last but not least, don’t call them work husband or work wife in the beginning.
8．Why is it harder to make friends when people get older
A. They focus more on other business. B. They have more demands on friends.
C. They reject to put many efforts into it. D. They are too old to know other people.
9．What do the words of Corey Weiner show
A. The way to make friends. B. The need to do jobs well.
C. The importance of the studies. D. The meaning of gaining friendship.
10．What does Keith Rollag attach importance to
A. Keeping in touch with old friends. B. Spending more time drinking coffee.
C. The initiative in forming connections. D. The balance between work and life.
11．What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph
A. To offer suggestions. B. To explain reasons.
C. To draw conclusions. D. To make comments.
“The majority of decisions we make do not come from the conscious (有意识的) mind, but the subconscious mind,” Beni Gradwohl, the co-founder of Cognovi Labs, said. “Our decisions are based on emotions. People think they are very rational (理智的). But they are not. In fact, decisions in the subconscious mind are made in a second before the rational mind recognizes that.”
Gradwohl used to think that cold and hard data defined the world. But when he was exposed to behavioral economics, his world view changed. He said, “Emotional intelligence is more important than intelligence quotient (IQ). Most successful leaders in the world don’t have above-average IQ but above average emotional quotient (EQ).”
Gradwohl co-founded AI company, Cognovi Labs, to better understand how people make decisions, using data and science and technology to measure underlying emotions.
When asked how event organizers could benefit from using emotional AI, Gradwohl said, “The first thing is whether you really understand what’s driving your target audience to an event.” He added, “You can ask them, but what potential registrants tell you may be incorrect.”
According to Gradwohl, registering for an event is not an entirely rational decision, and it goes deeper. Understanding how your target audience makes decisions is important because you don’t want to sell them something they don’t care about. Cognovi Labs’ AI can uncover the underlying emotional drivers or blockers of your target audience’s decision-making.
Beyond using Cognovi Labs’ AI in the marketing leading up to an event, once the event is underway, Gradwohl thinks organizers can know how their participants are feeling via the AI. That involves using feedback (反馈) surveys. He said, “Have attendees talk to the event app and then transcribe that. We call that diagnostic (诊断的) interview because they may generate a strong emotional response. With those conversations about what they are experiencing throughout the program at different times of the day, we will see what the emotional blockers and drivers are. We can get a full picture of the emotional aspects of the attendees.”
12．What may Cognovi Labs mainly focus on
A. Researching people’s potential emotions.
B. Helping people make rational decisions.
C. Training people to develop conscious minds.
D. Leading people to study science and technology.
13．What can we learn from paragraph 5
A. Registering for an event is important.
B. Believing target audience is necessary.
C. Cognovi Labs’ AI helps event organizers.
D. Cognovi Labs’ AI benefits lots of drivers.
14．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. Cognovi Labs’ AI’s feedback surveys.
B. Cognovi Labs’ AI’s additional function.
C. The ways to organize a marketing event.
D. The attendees’ strong emotional response.
15．Which of the following may be the best title for the text
A. The Founder of an Emotional AI B. The Future of Behavioral Economics
C. An AI Company Improves Intelligence D. An Emotional AI Helps Make Decisions

四、短文填空
37．The concept of “gap days” ① (appear) on a variety of social media platforms recently. Unlike a gap year, a gap day means an ② (extreme) brief period of relaxation and escape from everyday routine. After resting, people will continue to devote ③ (they) to the busy pace of normal life.
Apart from “gap days”, other similar expressions have made ④ hit on the Internet, such as “city walk”, “da zi (activity partner)” and so on. This growing trend of creating new phrases or euphemisms (委婉语) for something otherwise ordinary and common has caused ⑤ (heat) discussion.
Some people think that these kinds of new phrases better cater to (迎合) people’s mindsets, ⑥ (show) their optimism. For example, the common expression “taking a walk” is neutral (中性的). But “city walk” ⑦ (be) the positive version of it, meaning “to explore the city with a curious mind”.
Others disagree, however, and think that it’s simply just a kind of “sugaring up”, satisfying one’s need for showing off. For example, “city walk” is the same as “taking a walk” ⑧ general. But by calling it a “city walk”, people feel like they are doing something fancier than it actually is.
But no matter how we think of these phrases, they have taken root in our daily lives and have already gained wide ⑨ (recognize) among the younger generation. So ⑩ we need to do is not make them out to be bigger than they actually are.
