Ben Francis didn’t becme wealthy thrugh a family inheritance (遗产). Instead, the CEO and c-funder f Gymshark used his earnings as a Pizza Hut delivery guy t buy a sewing machine and start his fitness apparel (服饰) cmpany at 19.
Eleven years later, his effrt paid ff. Francis, 30, wh has a reprted net wrth f $1.3 billin, jined Frbes’ billinaires list. He’s in rare cmpany: the list’s average age is 65 years ld.
Originally, Francis and c-funder Lewis Mrgan launched Gymshark as a website selling fitness prducts. But after getting bred with his ill-fitting clthes, Francis suggested pivting the cmpany.
Francis and Mrgan bught a sewing machine. The pair brught Gymshark t a bdybuilding exhibitin in 2013, but didn’t have any mney t spend n advertising. On a whim (一时兴起), they decided t give ppular fitness YuTubers free prducts. “My heres were n YuTube,” Francis said. “S it wuld be s cl if my heres culd cme t be with Gymshark at this event. I didn’t really think that much abut it.” Sme f thse influencers went n t wear the clthes n their channels, bringing Gymshark’s sales t $45,000 per day, up frm just $450.
Francis quit the CEO rle in 2017. “CEO was nt the right rle fr me when I was in my early 20s,” Francis said. “That I’d started a business which had grwn very quickly didn’t mean I have the full ability t be a gd leader.” He spent the next fur years supprting leadership rles within Gymshark---including chief prduct fficer and chief marketing fficer – t learn mre abut the ins and uts f the business, befre returning as CEO in 2021.
That year, the cmpany was valued at $1.45 billin. Still, the cmpany’s billin-dllar valuatin is a small percentage f the market value f cmpetitrs like Nike and Lululemn. “I really think Gymshark can be the UK’s answer t thse brands,” Francis said. “But that’s nt saying that the UK is where it starts and ends fr us. We als want t be a truly glbal brand.”
4. What makes Ben Francis special n Frbes’ billinaires list?

B. T advertise their prducts in a cheap way.
C. T build a gd relatinship with YuTube.

In Eurpe, nine ut f ten students study a freign language. In the United States, nly ne in five des. Frm 1997 t 2008, the number f American middle schls ffering freign languages drpped frm 75percent t 58 percent. Frm 2009 t 2013, ne American cllege clsed its freign language prgram; frm 2013 t 2017, 651 thers did the same.
At first glance, these statistics lk like a tragedy (悲剧). But I am starting t accept the strange idea that maybe they are nt. What is changing my mind is technlgy.
I was in Belgium nt lng ag, and I watched varius turists frm different natins use speech translatin apps t change their wn languages int English and French. The newer nes can even reprduce the tne f the speaker’s vice.
I knw a freign language is a windw int a new way f understanding the wrld. But even beynd the fact that this idea has been rather versld, can we really say the lw level f French r Spanish we and ur classmates usually picked up in schl really gave us a new lk int the wrld and ur lives in it? And if ur gals are mre limited and practical --- fr instance, getting directins t the bus statin in Rme-technlgy nw makes that pssible at the press f a buttn. With a smart phne and an app, freign languages will n lnger present mst peple with the challenge they nce did. Learning t speak a new language well will be necessary fr thse wh want t engage with (从事) literature r media in the riginal language, as well as thse f us wh find pleasure in it just because they are “there”. Strange as that is, it is in its way a kind f prgress.
8 What is the authr’s pinin abut the drp in freign language learning in the United States?
A. It is a tragedy that needs t be avided.
B. It is an unacceptable situatin that harms sciety.
C. It is a challenge that will be vercme in the future.
D. It is a psitive develpment due t advanced technlgy.
9. What is the authr’s attitude twards the idea that learning a freign language gives us a new lk int the wrld?
A. Uncncerned.B. Dubtful.C. Curius.D. Supprtive.
10. Hw des technlgy influence language learning fr practical purpses?
A It makes the prcess easier and within reach.
B. It prvides an easy way t understand the wrld.
C. It remves the need fr language learning altgether.
D It imprves the traditinal methds f language learning.
11. Which f the fllwing questins can be answered in the text?
A. What challenges d translatin apps bring t language learning?
B. Why is it still necessary t learn freign languages in the digital age?

Befre the recent findings and their study, nly female msquites were knwn t feed n bld, which they need fr prtein t prduce their eggs. Males, which lack skin-piercing (刺入皮肤的) muthparts, mstly feed n hney and plant juices.
“The feeding habits f insects, such as feeding n bld, are believed t have develped frm their piercing muthparts. Hwever, studying the develpment f this behavir has been challenging due t the lack f insect fssil recrds.” Azar said.
While reexamining the msquit fssils last year, Azar fund that their unique piercing muthparts, very similar t thse f female msquites tday, had been kept well. Their sharp mandibles (下颌骨) gradually disappeared ver the centuries.
Based n the findings, the researchers agreed that male msquites fed n bld 130 millin years ag. Azar, wh is nw a prfessr at the Nanjing institute, said he hpes that jint scientific explratins can be widely carried ut in the future t prmte mre discveries.
