Could you reproduce Silicon Valley elsewhere, or is there something unique about it?
It wouldn"t be surprising if it were hard to reproduce in other countries, because you couldn"treproduce it in most of the US either.What does it take to make a Silicon Valley?
It"s the right people.If you could get the right ten thousand people to move from Silicon Valley to Buffalo, Buffalo would become Silicon Valley.
You only need two kinds of people to create a technology hub (中心) : rich people and nerds (痴迷科研的人).
Observation bears this out.Within the US, towns have become star,up hubs if and only if they have both rich people and nerds.Few startups happen in Miami, for example, because although it"s full of rich people, it has few nerds.It"s not the kind of place nerds like.
Whereas Pittsburgh has the opposite problem: plenty of nerds, but no rich people.The top US Computer Science departments are said to be MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, and Carnegie-Mellon.MITyielded Route 128.Stanford and Berkeley yielded Silicon Valley.But what did Carnegie-Mellon yield in Pittsburgh? And what happened in Ithaca, home of Cornell University, which is also high on the list?
I grew up in Pittsburgh and went to college at Cornell, so I can answer for both.The weather is terrible, particularly in winter, and there"s no interesting old city to make up for it, as there is inBoston.Rich people don"t want to live in Pittsburgh or Ithaca.So while there"re plenty of hackers (电脑迷) who could start startups, there"s no one to invest in them
Do you really need the rich people? Wouldn"t it work to have the government invest in the nerds?
No, it would not.Startup investors are a distinct type of rich people.They tend to have a lot of experience themselves in the technology business.This helps them pick the right startups, and means they can supply advice and connections as well as money.And the fact that they have a personal stake in the outcome makes them really pay attention.
What do we learn about Silicon Valley from the passage? 查看材料
A.Its success is hard to copy anywhere else.
B.It is the biggest technology hub in the US.
C.Its fame in high technology is incomparable.
D.It leads the world in information technology.

阅读下列短文,从[A]、[B]、[C]三个选项中选择一个正确答案。
It's 8:15 in the morning. They're having the first class.
“May I come in, Mr. Black?” a girl says at the door.
“Come in, please,” says Mr. Black. “You are five minutes late this morning, Lucy. It is the fourth time this week.” The girl often makes some excuses when she is late for class. Sometimes she says she doesn't feel well, or the bus is broken on the way, or her watch is slow...So her classmates are listening to her very carefully.
“I'm sorry, Mr. Black,” says Lucy. “I'm late because the traffic is busy and I have to wait for the lights to turn green.”
“But why don't you take an earlier bus?”
“I just take the earlier bus. But it's no use. The later bus often overtakes the earlier one!” answers Lucy.
The first class begins at______.
A.8:10
B.8:15
C.7:45

第7题
Nowadays, it is commonly observed that young women are not conforming to the feminine linguistic (语言的)ideal. They are using fewer of the very deferential "women's" forms, and even using the few strong forms that are known as "men's". This, of course, attracts considerable attention and has led to an outcry in the Japanese media against the defeminization of women's language. Indeed, we didn't hear about "men's language" until people began to respond to girls' appropriation of forms normally reserved for boys and men. There is considerable sentiment about the "corruption" of women's language—which of course is viewed as part of the loss of feminine ideals and morality—and this sentiment is crystallized by nationwide opinion polls that are regularly carried out by the media.
Yoshiko Matsumoto has argued that young women probably never used as many of the highly deferential forms as older women. This highly polite style. is no doubt something that young women have been expected to "grow into"—after all, it is a sign not simply of femininity, but of maturity and refinement, and its use could be taken to indicate a change in the nature of one's social relations as well. One might well imagine little girls using exceedingly polite forms when playing house or imitating older women—in a fashion analogous to little girls' use of a high-pitched voice to do "teacher talk" or "mother talk" in role play.
The fact that young Japanese women are using less deferential language is a sure sign of change—of social change and of linguistic change. But it is most certainly not a sign of the "masculinization" of girls. In some instances, it may be a sign that girls are making the same claim to authority as boys and men, but that is very different from saying that they are trying to be "masculine". Katsue Reynolds has argued that girls nowadays are using more assertive language strategies in order to be able to compete with boys in schools and out. Social change also brings not simply different positions for women and girls, but different relations to life stages, and adolescent girls are participating in new subcultural forms. Thus what may, to an older speaker, seem like "masculine" speech may seem to an adolescent like "liberated" or "hip" speech.
The first paragraph describes in detail ___________.
A.the standards set for contemporary Japanese women
B.the Confucian influence on gender norms in Japan
C.the stereotyped role of women in Japanese families
D.the norms for traditional Japanese women to follow
