The most common forms of live stream marketing

Online Marketplaces

Online marketplaces like Taobao and Jingdong allow users to buy and sell products with- out ever leaving their homes. But the addition of live video streaming is proving vital to keep buyers interested. Why? By adding live streaming to the platform, these marketplaces can de- liver the closest possible experience to “being there” for online buyers. Real-time interactivity offers the urgency of a real marketplace, urging immediate action and improving community participation.

Live Auctions（拍卖）

Live streaming opens up the auction items to those unable to physically attend, reaches participants with varying interests and ensures that each item sells at its proper valuation. On- line auctions are big business, and real-time video delivery is critical. Whether auctioning off pets or fine art， any delay in a live stream could prevent bids（出价）from being recorded properly. Several milliseconds can translate to billions of dollars.

Influencer Streaming

Today’s celebrities aren’t necessarily on the big screen. An increasing number of stars rise to fame via social media each day. With a large number of faithful fans, influencers can use their personal brand and the power of live streaming to promote their favorite products in an interactive way. Influencer streaming originated on social media, but has now become commonplace across e-business sites as well.

Live Events

Newsworthy events, such as product launches and limited edition drops, increase the popularity of live stream marketing. Today, shoppable mobile streaming allows fans to purchase items in real time from the catwalks（T型走秀台）of Louis Vuitton and Victoria’s Secret.

1. How does live video streaming affect online marketplaces?

A. It makes goods more popular.

B. It keeps shop owners interested.

C. It offers a real experience of offline shopping.

D. It makes online shopping more like offline shopping.

2. What can we know about online auctions?

A. They bring convenience for people physically attending.

B They make it necessary to have high speed Internet access.

C. They make sure that every item can finally be sold online.

D. They provide opportunities of making great fortune overnight.

3. Which works as the easiest way for Internet celebrities getting into e-business?

A. Online Marketplaces. B. Live Auctions.

C. Influencer Streaming. D. Live Events.

B

Having worked at a 7-Eleven store for two years, I thought I had become successful at what our manager calls “customer relations”. I firmly believed that a friendly smile and an automatic “sir”, “ma’ma”, and “thank you” would see me through any situation that might arise, from comforting impatient or unpleasant people to apologizing for giving out the wrong change. But the other night an old woman shattered my belief that a simple and plain response could smooth over the rough spots of dealing with all kinds of customers.

The moment she entered, the woman presented a sharp contrast to our shiny store with its bright lighting and neatly arranged shelves. Walking as if each step were painful, she slowly pushed open the glass door and hobbled (蹒跚) down the nearest aisle. She coughed dryly, wheezing (气喘吁吁) with each breath. On a forty-degree night, she was wearing only a faded dress, a thin sweater too small to button, and black slippers with the backs cut out to expose calloused (满是老茧的) heels. There were no stockings or socks on her blue-veined legs.

After wandering around the store for several minutes, the old woman stopped in front of the rows of canned vegetables. She picked up a can of corn and stared with a strange intensity at the label. At that point, I decided to be a good, polite employee and asked her if she needed help. As I stood close to her, my smile became harder to maintain; her red-rimmed eyes were partially closed by yellowish crusts (痂); her hands were covered with layer upon layer of dirt, and the unpleasant smell of sweat rose from clothes.  

“I need some food,” she muttered in reply to my bright “Can I help you?”

“Are you looking for corn, ma’am?”

“I need some food,” she repeated, “Any kind.”

“Well, the corn is ninety-five cents,” I said in my most helpful voice.

“I can’t pay,” she said.  

For a second, I wanted to say, “Take the corn.” But the employee rules flooded into my mind: Remain polite, but do not let customers get the best of you. Let them know that you are in control. For a moment, I even entertained the idea that this was some sort of test, and that this woman was someone from the head office, testing my loyalty. I responded dutifully, “I’m sorry, but I can’t give away anything for free.”

The old woman’s face collapsed a bit more, and her hands trembled as she put the can back on the shelf. She dragged her feet past me toward the door, her torn and dirty clothing barely covering her bent back.  

Moments after she left, I rushed out of the door with the can of corn, but she was nowhere in sight. For the rest of my shift, the image of the woman haunted me. I had been young, healthy and proud. She had been old, sick and desperate. Wishing with all my heart that I had acted like a human being rather than a robot, I was saddened to realize how weak a hold we have on our better instincts.

4. How did the writer feel about his job at 7-Eleven before the old woman came?

A. He found room for improvement in developing customer relations.

B. He was quite satisfied with his service manner.

C. He considered himself successful in dealing with all interpersonal relations.

D. He thought himself inexperienced after working in the store for two years.

5. The detailed account of the old woman is intended to show ________.

A. how she presented a sharp contrast to the other customers

B. how she surprised the writer with her unusual appearance

C. how sick, poor and desperate for help she was

D. how inappropriate it was for her to enter a place like this

6. Why did the writer refuse to offer free food to the old woman?

A. Because he thought it as an entertainment.

B. Because he wanted to pass the test to show his loyalty.

C. Because the old woman was a head official.

D. Because his instinct gave way to the employee rules.

7. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A. What for. B. How Come. C. If Only. D. Never Ever.

C

Removing gender bias

Tailors worked out long ago that men and women have different shapes. Yet this message has failed to enter many other areas of design. Car seat belts, for example, which date back to the 1880s, are often still more suitable for men, who tend to sit farther back than women when driving. And today the most forward-looking tech companies on Earth are still placing old-school bias (偏见；成见) into new products. Consider smart phones. Most are too big to fit comfortably into the average woman’s hand, as are many video-game controllers.

An obvious part of the explanation for their design problem is that men control most of its companies—male-run firms receive 82% of venture-capital (VC) funding. Male bosses may be unaware of the problems women face. They may not flag up obvious areas of concern, or ask the right questions when doing their research for a new product design. And once an idea gets the green light, it will then be handled by product-design and engineering teams, three-quarters of whose members are men. These teams often use data to make decisions, but mixing all users together means they may fail to spot trends based on sex differences. Dependence on historical data, and the lack of data on underrepresented groups, can also create bias in algorithms (算法).

Next comes testing. Naturally, designers test original models on their intended customers, but they may not get feedback from a broad enough group of people. There is also the risk of confirmation bias—designers may listen to what they want to hear, and ignore negative reactions from some groups of users.

Tech’s design bias needs fixing for moral, safety and business reasons. The ethical importance is obvious: it is wrong that women have to make do with a “one-size-fits-men” world, as Caroline Criado Perez, a writer, puts it. As for safety, regulators can tackle that by banning things that are dangerous to women—including seat belts—because they are no! designed properly.

But there is also a powerful business case for avoiding design bias, because huge opportunities are being missed. Women are 50% of the population, and make 70—80% of the world’s consumer-spending decisions.

Change is coming. The first voice-recognition systems struggled to understand female voices, but most now manage just fine. “Femtech” start-up companies, which focus on women’s health and well-being, may raise MYM 1 billion by the end of this year. VC funds and tech firms are hiring more women. Ensuring that products are designed for everyone would lead to happier and safer customers. For the companies that get it right, that means higher profits. What is holding them back?

8. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means ________.

A. hits the market B. gets approval

C. becomes successful D. comes into being

9. What is discussed in Paragraphs 2 and 3?

A. Why tech’s design bias needs to be fixed.

B. How gender bias is affecting tech companies.

C. Where gender bias in product design is rooted.

D. Who is to blame for gender bias in tech companies.

10. We can learn from the passage that ________.

A. tech companies are unwilling to change

B. design bias may result in missed opportunities

C. male workers benefit more in engineering teams

D tech companies are poor at making user-friendly products

11. How does the author feel about the future of bias-free product design?

A. Uncertain. B. Sceptical.

C. Positive. D. Negative.

D

In 2010, after six years of training and further six years on the wards, I resigned from my job as a junior doctor. My parents still haven’t forgiven me.

Last year, the General Medical Council wrote to me to say they were taking my name off the medical register. It wasn’t exactly a huge shock, as I hadn’t practiced medicine in half a decade. ________

It was, however, excellent news for my spare room, as I cleared out box after box of old paperwork, tearing files up fast. One thing I did rescue from the jaws of death was my training portfolio (档案袋). All doctors are recommended to log their clinical experience, in what’s known as reflective practice. On looking through this portfolio for the first time in years, my reflective practice seemed to involve going up to my hospital on-call room and writing down anything remotely interesting that had happened that day.

Among the funny and the dull, I was reminded of the long hours and the huge impact being a junior doctor had on my life. Reading back, it felt extreme and unreasonable in terms of what was expected of me, but at the time I’d just accepted it as part of the job. There were points where I wouldn’t have stepped back if an entry read “had to eat a helicopter today”.

Around the same time that I was reliving all this through my diaries, junior doctors in the here and now were coming under fire from politicians. I couldn’t help but feel doctors were struggling to get their side of the story across (probably because they were at work the whole time) and it struck me that the public weren’t hearing the truth about what it actually means to be a doctor. Rather than shrugging my shoulders and ignoring the evidence, I decided I had to do something to redress the balance.

So here they are: the diaries I kept during my time in the NHS, verruca’s and all. What it’s like working on the front line, the consequences in my personal life, and how, one terrible day, it all became too much for me. (Sorry for the spoiler of my book beforehand, but you still watched Titanic knowing how that was going to play out.)

Along the way, I’ll help you out with the medical terminology and provide a bit of context about what each job involved. Unlike being a junior doctor, I won’t just drop you in the deep end and expect you to know exactly what you’re doing.

12. Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph 2?

A. But I found it a hard job to pick up my practice of medicine.

B. But I found it an easy task to turn over a new leaf in the long term.

C. But I found it a simple act to get involved in self-reflection as a junior doctor.

D. But I found it a big deal on an emotional level to permanently close this chapter of my life.

13. The author cleared out box after box of old paperwork so fast because________.

A. he was disappointed at being dismissed from the NHS

B. being removed from his position served his purpose

C. being rescued from the jaws of death discouraged him

D. he had promised to keep his patients’ personal information secret

14. Which of the following best explains “redress the balance” underlined in Paragraph 5?

A. Argue with politicians.

B. Tell the full story of doctors.

C. Collect more solid evidence.

D. Win the support of the public.

15. What does the author intend to do by writing this article?

A. Reveal what it means to be a junior doctor.

B. Inform readers of some medical knowledge.

C. Give some background information on a book.

D. Encourage more people to practice medicine.

Are You a Prisoner of Perfection?

Do you struggle for a goal that is beyond your reach? ___16___ Are you setting yourself up for failure and shame when you can’t achieve the unachievable? Understanding what drives perfectionism is the first step toward releasing this self-created anchor that keeps us stuck.

Shame and fear are often the hidden drivers of perfectionism. We believe that if we can fashion a perfectly polished personality, flash our intelligence, and perfect our humour, then no one can hurt us with criticism and we’ll win respect and approval.

___17___ Politicians who display a desperate need to be right and refuse to acknowledge mistakes or uncertainty are often driven by a secret shame. They fear that showing vulnerability(弱点) will expose them to the accusation that they’re weak. They stick to a desire to be right, perfect, and polished, even when it’s obvious that the emperor has no clothes.

Perfectionism keeps us leaning toward the future. We’re constantly evaluating ourselves in order to do better. ___18___ However, if we can’t relax and enjoy lighter moments, then we become prisoners of our perfectionism. We get painfully self-conscious and take ourselves too seriously. Sadly, we deprive(剥夺) ourselves of the simple pleasure of enjoying the moment and being ourselves.

___19___ We realize that failing at any enterprise doesn’t mean that we are a failure. Without failures, we’ll never learn from our mistakes; we’ll never move forward in our lives. Those who succeed have made countless mistakes. The important thing is to learn from our error, forgive ourselves and move on.

Being human, perfection is impossible. ___20___  Releasing ourselves from the desire to protect our image, we’re freed to sail gracefully through our successes and failures—and enjoy our precious life.

A. Do you hold an idealized vision that is impossible to realize?

B. A cure to perfectionism is to make room for our human shortcomings.

C. Do you fear that others will be horrified by what you judge about yourself?

D. The addiction to staying perfect protects us from any sign of being imperfect.

E. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to do our best and self-correcting along the way.

F. People who are addicted to perfection are often isolated even if they seem outgoing and popular.

G. By accepting ourselves as we are and doing our best, we begin to rid the shame that drives perfectionism.

The recovery of the ____38____from the past has allowed Pat to look to the ____39____. “I'll be at the next party,” he says. “These guys…” He pauses, stifling (强忍) ____40____. “Let's just say that everyone needs people like these guys in their lives.”
