Best Ways to Make Money Online

◆Sell Digital Products

Selling digital products means never having to keep physical goods. You can sell such items

as WordPress themes, audiobooks, and PowerPoint templates ( 模板) through a marketplace like

ClickBank.

The amount of money you can make will vary greatly from just a few dollars a month to

several hundred or even thousand dollars. It depends on the success of your products and how you

market them.

◆Run an Etsy Store

Do you enjoy working with arts and crafts? Sell your unique creations through Etsy, an

online marketplace for all things handmade. Etsy sellers list such items as pillowcases, dream

catchers, canvas prints, custom shower curtains and more. You set your own pricing and Etsy

takes a small cut from your sales.

◆Work for Mechanical Turk

If you are just looking for a way to earn a little extra pocket money, Amazon Mechanical

Turk could be a great solution. You can work from home, writing video descriptions, translating a

paper, or performing online research. The barrier to entry is really low and you can start making

money right away.

◆Make Money Through Your Podcasts (播客)

Many people start podcasting as a hobby, but these audio shows can also be a reliable source

of income. Similar to blogging and YouTube channels, podcasts can be changed into money

through advertisements. One of the greatest challenges will be growing your audience through

podcast directories like iTunes. The potential is there if your audience is large enough and you

attract the right partnerships.

On the night of August 24, 2001, my last night of freedom before my freshman of high

school started, everything changed when my friend's car hit a guardrail(护栏) with me inside.

I lost most of my right leg. At the hospital, I just kept telling myself to hold on. Weeks later I

made a deal with the hospital staff that once I could roll onto my side, I could be discharged. I am

proud to say that just one short week later, I was going home. The day I left the hospital, I made a

promise to myself to never give up and to always live life to the fullest.

In February of 2013, my life was forever changed when I attended the Executive Assistant

Organization's Behind Every Leader event. During the conference, a sweet lady by the name of

Alisson Frew dared to ask me why I did not wear a prosthesis(假肢). My short and simple answer

was, "I don't have sixty thousand dollars." The next morning I was in tears as I learned that

Alisson, Jeff Hoffman, founder of Priceline, and a dozen other people, had bought a prosthesis for

me. From the first step, it was apparent to me just how much this would mean to me.

For a year I adjusted to the leg and settled into everyday life, until one day I realized I was

making a life but not living one. After almost 13 years of thinking that I was confident, I had an

unfamiliar feeling sweep over me. For the first time in my life, I was not only confident but I was

empowered! I desired to help those around me, to have them experience this unbelievable feeling

for themselves.

In April of 2014, I started modeling. My dream is that one day a little girl will see me on a

poster at her favourite clothing store and say, "Wow, she is amazing, and she only has one leg. I

could do that too someday, even though I have a disability."

We humans love to stare into our smart devices. We gaze for hours—about 10 hours and 39

minutes a day—at our computers, smartphones, tablets and televisions. Is all this staring bad for

us? It might be, mainly because as we stare at our devices we are exposing ourselves to blue light.

Blue light is a type of electromagnetic radiation with a very short wavelength that produces a

high amount of energy. While it's true that light can damage our eyes under certain circumstances,

there's no scientific evidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to our eyes. But many people

still think it is, which is why blue light-blocking glasses are so popular. So do the glasses work?

"Everyone is very concerned that blue light may be causing damage to the eye, but there's no

evidence that it may be causing serious damage, "Dr. Rahul Khurana, clinical spokesman for the

American Academy of Ophthalmology, told Business Insider.

Blue light exposure is nothing new. In fact, the sun is the largest source of blue light.

Moreover, blue light is also present in LED lights. But if blue light isn't harmful, then why are we

constantly rubbing our eyes when we're looking at our screens? The answer is eyestrain(眼疲劳):

More than 60 percent of people experience eye problems associated with digital eyestrain. And

blue light, it seems, isn't the cause. Instead, our eyes are so strained because most of us blink less

when we stare at our digital devices. So if eyestrain is the real issue, blue light-blocking glasses

are probably of little use.

8. What do we know about blue light?

A. It is a kind of nuclear radiation.

B. It has the shortest wavelength.

C. It may come from electronic devices.

D. It consumes a great deal of energy.

9. What causes the popularity of blue light-blocking glasses?

A. Evidence of their benefits to eyes.

B. Belief in blue light's harmful effect.

C. Widespread use of smart devices.

D. Scientific understanding of blue light.

10.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?

A. Blue light exposure is hardly avoidable.

B. Eye problems are not easy to deal with.

C. Blue light may connect with tired eyes.

D. Rubbing eyes makes people strained.

11.According to the text, wearing blue light-blocking glasses may be_________.

A. tiring B. harmful C. useless D. effective

Kar-go is the invention of the United Kingdom-based Academy of Robotics, which describes

it as “Europe's first road-worthy autonomous delivery vehicle”. Using AI, this autonomous

delivery vehicle offers customers an app---similar to one used when ordering a taxi- allowing

them to choose when and where their packages are delivered. Companies like Tesla and Amazon

have invested heavily in autonomous vehicles, which have the potential to create a sea of changes

in business and society.

Resembling something like a green egg on wheels, Kar-go's aim is to reduce the cost of

what's known as the “last mile delivery challenge”. This is the final stage of your online package's

journey, from a local warehouse to your front door. Labor costs, paying drivers, the cost of fuel

and the vehicle costs for maintaining small vehicles all contribute to making this the most

expensive part of the delivery process. The first part of the package's journey is far cheaper, with

high volumes of packages being transported to and from the same location. However, at the other
