Start With the End and Work Backwards
When Jason Hoelscher was an undergraduate of fine art studies, there weren’t
any professional development classes. So ambition and the timely realization
(21)
he
would
have
to
determine
“what’s next” on his own urged Jason to engage his future self to find
direction. It was 1996,and he was finishing his BFA(Bachelor of Fine Art) in
Denver. He was faced with the choice of
sitting
back
to
wait
for
something
(22)
(happen),or
pursuing
a
path
into the unknown. He chose the latter.
Jason set up a plan that in five years he (23)
(show)
his work in the top gallery in that area of the
country.
This five-year goal
gave him a
starting point (24)
which to work backwards.
By setting the goal, all of Jason’s efforts (25)
(point) in the same
direction. He showed
up
at
different
art
show
openings,
and
researched
as
best he
could
to
make
(26)
familiar
with
the
market
environment.

scare
d to death, he looked confident at the gallery meeting. When he left, he left
as the newest addition to the Rule Gallery roster ( 花 名 册 ),He had his first

Bill Drayton believes we’re in the middle of a necessary but painful
historical transition. For millenniums most people’s lives had a certain
31 .You went to school to learn a trade or a skill-baking, farming or
accounting. Then you could go into the workforce and make a good living
repeating the same skill over the course of your career.
But
these
days
machines
can
do
pretty
much
anything
that’s
32
.The
new
world requires a different sort of person. Drayton calls this
new sort of personal changemaker.
Changemakers are people who can see the patterns around them, identify the
problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problems in any
situation, figure out ways to solve the problem,
organize
fluid
teams,
lead
collective
action
and
then
33
adapt as situations change.
For example, Ashoka fellow Andrés Gallardo is a Mexican who lived in a high
crime neighborhood. He created an
app,
called
Haus,
that
allows
people
to
34
with
their
neighbors. The app has a panic button that
35
everybody in the neighborhood when a
crime is happening. It allows
neighbors to organize, chat, share crime statistics and work together.
To form and lead this community of communities, Gallardo had to possess what
Drayton calls “cognitive empathy-based living for the good of all.” Cognitive
empathy is the ability to perceive how people are feeling in
36
circumstances. “For the good of all” is the capacity to build teams.
It doesn’t matter if you are working in the cafeteria or the inspection
line of a plant, companies will now only hire people who can 37 problems and
organize responses.
Millions of people already live with the mind-set. But a lot of people
still inhabit the world of following rules and repetitive skills. They hear
society telling them: “We don’t need you. We don’t need your kids, either.”
Of course, those people go into reactionary mode and strike back.
The central
38
of our time, Drayton says, is to make everyone a
changemaker. In an earlier
era,
he
says,
society
realized
it
needed
universal
39
.Today,schools
have
to
develop the curriculums and
assessments
to
make
the
changemaking
mentality
universal.
They
have
to
understand this is their criteria for success.
Ashoka has studied social movements to find out how this kind of
40
shift
can be
promoted. It turns out that successful movements take similar steps.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or
phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the work or phrase that
best fits the context.
More people are travelling than ever before, and lower barriers to entry
and falling costs means they are doing so for 41 periods.
The rise of “city breaks” 48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, easier on
the pocket and annual leave
balance
has
increased
tourist
numbers,
but
not
their
42
spread.
The
same
attractions have been used to market
cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the
same infrastructure as residents to reach them. “Too many people do the same
thing at the exact same time,” says Font. “For 43 ,the city no longer belongs
to them.”
This starts with marketing, says Font, who notes that Amsterdam has started
advising visitors to seek
44
outside of the city centre on its
official website. “That takes some balls, really,
to do that. But only so
many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their
residents they’re doing all they can [to ease congestion].”
But it also 45 a better way, it is called “detourism” :sustainable travel

by the 28 million
visitors who flock there each year.

in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city
center can have the effect of diverting

the pressure, says Font. “If
you go to Paris for two days, you’re going to go to the Eiffel Tower. If you
go for two weeks, you’re not going to go to the Eiffel Tower 14 times.”
Similarly,
repeat visitors have a better sense of the

,
“We
should be asking how
we get tourists to
51
,not how to get
them to come for the first time. If they ‘re coming
for the fifth time, it
is much easier to integrate their behavior with ours.”
Local governments can foster this sustainable activity by giving preference
to responsible operator and even high-paying consumers. Font says cities could
stand to be more selective about the tourists they try to attract when the
