Mark Elliot Zuckerberg is famous worldwide for having developed Facebook,

the most widely used social networking website. He was born to Edward, and his wife

Karen, on May 14, 1984.Edward was a dentist, while Karen worked as a doctor. The

young boy was brought up in the village of Dobbs Ferry.

He pursued his education from the Ardsley High School, New York, and later

the Phillips Exeter Academy, where he exhibited flair for astronomy, mathematics,

physics, English classical literature and foreign languages. He was also asked to lead

the fencing (击剑) team of the Phillips Exeter Academy.

While in middle school, Mark was taught Atari BASIC Programming by his

father. Eventually software programmer David Newman began teaching the young

boy everything about programming. The talented young child was in high school

when he enrolled with Mercy College, to pursue a course in software programming.

During this time, he developed a software called ZuckNet to create a communication

network between the computers in his father’s dental office and those at home.

While still a student at Harvard University, he launched his website Facebook,

along with college friends. Though at first he was accused by some senior students of

having stolen their idea, his site’s popularity was not affected. Facebook saw a steady

rise in the number of active users per month. The website started out as a networking

platform only for Harvard University, and then was opened for other colleges. Soon, it

became available to general public, and gained widespread popularity for its

user-friendly interface (界面). Zuckerberg is now the chairman and CEO of the

company Facebook, Inc, earning one dollar as his salary. His website has made him

so popular that the film The Social Network, starring Jesse Eisenberg, was made based

on a book, The Accidental Billionaires, which recorded Mark’s life.

4.Which of the following best explains the underlined word “flair” in paragraph 2?

The grocery store might not be your favorite place to visit when you re at home, but

isn t it ever fun when you re in another country? Honestly speaking, they re one of

those strange little destinations that I like to sniff out everywhere I go, much as other

travellers head toward clothing stores, libraries, cafés or galleries.

The biggest beauty of the grocery store—whether it s a huge supermarket or a

tiny one—is that it gives you a glimpse into what local people buy to cook. This

offers clues into their lifestyles and preferences, and into the agricultural and cooking

practices of the country. I stare at the strange fruits and vegetables, the seafood, the

cheese, the spices, the breads, and oh, the chocolate... always the chocolate!

Being an environmental nerd (痴迷者) I am, I like paying attention to

packaging, which can reflect their attitude towards environmental protection. Italy, for

example, has a habit of requiring customers to bag their fruits and vegetables in

plastic for weighing, while Sri Lanka leaves everything loose in bins. In Brazil,

everything is prepackaged in a layer of plastic.

People in grocery stores tend to be friendlier. They smile, say hello, and

sometimes ask questions, which can lead to great conversations. I had a further

discussion with a teenaged cashier in Sri Lanka, over which bag of crunchy mix to

buy. He insisted that the one labeled ‘spicy’ would be too hot for me, but I told him I

was willing to risk it. He laughed and we ended up talking about my favorite Sri

Lankan foods for ten minutes.

The financial savings extend to souvenirs, too. Whether it is ground spices for

my mom or chocolates for my kids, the grocery store is the first place I look for

unique gifts. It s interesting then to come home and look at one s own local grocery

store through new eyes. What would a visitor think? What stands out, and what do the

food displays say about us as a culture? You might be surprised by what you realize.

8.What is the benefit of visiting grocery stores of other countries in the author s

opinion? ( )
