Alibaba founder Jack Ma has become China's richest person according to a wealth survey by the． Hurun Report． Mr．Ma tops its annual rich list with a fortune of $25bn,．followed, by Wanda Group chairman Wang Jianlin．

Internet billionaires account for five of China's 10 richest people this year, beating property giants（房地产巨头） who have traditionally dominated（占优势） the list, which also includes the head of Tencent, Pony Ma．Other technology giants on the list include the co-founder of Chinese search group Baidu, Robin Li, and the founder of online retailer （零售商） JD．com, Richard Liu．

CHINARICH LIST

Hurun Report chairman and chief researcher Rupert Hoogewerf said, "Jack Ma is the 11th Number One we have had in China in the last 16 years, showing the dynamism（活力） of the Chinese economy, and an outstanding reminder of the growth potential that is being realized in the new markets"．

The Hurun Report's rich list is one of the most closely-watched and accurate assessments of wealth in China． The annual report has been published for the past　 16 years． Individuals or families required at least $2．3bn this year to make it onto the list, which is more than 15 times the amount needed a decade ago． There are a record 354 so-called "dollar billionaires" in China this year, Hurun said, which is a 13% increase from last year．Overall, the total wealth of the l,271 people on the list is worth $1．4tn this year

Hurun said it had been "an amazing year" for the online retail and other IT sectors and a “good year” for entertainment, investments, cars, renewable energy, pharmaceuticals（药业） and manufacturing． On the other side, Hurun said it had "been a bad year for steel and shipping" and that real estate（不动产） "could have done a lot worse, bearing in mind the state of the market"．

The world's second-largest economy has been slowing down． Its property industry may

have 'overheated and that levels of local debt are too high． As a result, the government has taken measures to cool the housing market, which has slowed down for several quarters．Perhaps reflecting this shift, four of the six property giants in last year's top 10 list have dropped down the rankings．

1.According to Rupert Hoogewerf, Jack Ma's being the 11th richest in China in the last 16 years indicates that　　　　　　 ．

A． China will surely have the　 12ffi Number One next year

B． the growth of China's economy in the last 16 years is incredible

C． new markets are providing China with great potential for economic growth

D． China has successfully sailed through the global financial crisis started in 2008

2.What is true about the Hurun Report's rich list?

A． Accurate assessments lend credit to the rich list．

B． Only individual billionaires can make it onto the list．

C． The list has been published every other year for 16 years．

D．It favors investments and cars rather than steel and shipping．

3.What can be inferred from the changes in the top 10 list during the past two years?

A． Property giants are no longer rich due to the shift．

B． China has become the world's second-largest economy．

C． Internet billionaires traditionally dominated the top 10 list．

D． The Government has played a role in the changes of house prices．

One of the world's richest men has taken a close interest in one of man’s most basic functions: visiting the toilet．Bill Gates’s charitable organization, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is looking for inventors to design the loo of the future, which, they hope, would improve sanitation for millions of people around the world．

So, what's wrong with the traditional flush toilet? Firstly, it wastes a huge amount of potential drinking water．Secondly, they are more likely to cause pollution．This is a real problem in many areas of the developing world, where, according to United Nations estimates, unsafe sanitation causes half of all hospitalizations．Younger people are particularly at risk．Illnesses which cause diarrhea are responsible for the deaths of about 1.5 million children a year．Finally, standard lavatories simply aren’t practical in remote areas．

The challenge set by Bill Gates was to come up with a latrine which works without running water, electricity or aseptic tank(化粪池)．It also needed to operate for less than 5 cents．28 designs were displayed at the recent Reinvent the Toilet Fair in Seattle, USA．Among them was one which turned human waste into electricity using microwaves, another which converted human waste into charcoal, and yet another which used urine for flushing．

But the winner was a solar-powered design which generated hydrogen gas and electricity.The team from the California Institute of Technology（CIT）picked up a prize of $ 100,000.

But clearly Bill Gates doesn’t feel he’s flushing money down the toilet．After the Seattle event he said, “We, couldn’t be happier with the response we’ve gotten,” Gates has even pledged $370m more to the future toilet project．They hope to field test more prototypes over the next three years．

1.Why is Bill Gates paying people to invent new toilets?

A．Because he wants to test people’s sense of creativity．

B．Because he wants to improve sanitation for many people．

C．Because he thinks the traditional ones are out of fashion．

D．Because he can’t design this kind of things himself．

2.Which of the following is NOT a problem with the traditional flush toilet?

A．They waste too much water．

B．They might cause diseases．

C．They are not always practical．

D．They are too complicated to use.

China has long been tipped to be the next Silicon Valley, but now the　 finances　 and support are in place to make it happen.

There　 is a growing consensus　 ( 共 识 ) that while Silicon Valley　 is not　 about　 to　 disappear anytime soon, its next biggest rival is already on the verge of bursting onto the international　 scene — not in the US, nor in the EU, but in Asia. More specifically, China.

This is not just an observation based on the rise of companies like Alibaba, Baidu　 and Tencent. It is grounded in a more widespread move to fund start-ups in Asia to the point where more money is being invested there than in Europe. Just five years ago, Europe and Asia are neck and neck in terms of investment.

In 2013, Europe made slightly more deals, 1550 compared to Asia’s 1071, but the total value　 of investment was $7bn. Just five years later, Asia is now four times the size of Europe with twice as many deals carried out.

Between 2013 to 2018, the number of deals in Asia increased nearly fivefold, and their value leapt to $81bn, compared to the $21bn raised in Europe. The Asian figure also shows that the continent is closing the gap on the US which saw $105bn worth of deals.

One of the main reasons that makes the country so attractive is not just the huge growth in investment and high education standards, but also local and national governmental support benefiting tech companies.

In fact, one of the conclusions of a recent Fortune tech conference was that China’s tech companies will soon be beating American companies on their home turf. One of the reasons is that investors believe US immigration policy is making it more difficult for the best talent around the world to find work there. Plus, Chinese companies are now able to start paying salaries that can keep pace with those on offer in Silicon Valley.

Hence, when Ian Roger, Chief Digital Official at luxury group LVMH was asked where he thought the next Facebook or Google would come from, he suggested it would be a close call between Silicon Valley and China. The latter had the investment that is needed as well as a hard work culture of a six-day week. It also has a superb education system and a huge population.

As Silicon Valley appears to be heating up a little too hard for some people, China would appear to be warming up at just the right pace.

1.What does the expression “on the verge of ” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A.on the way of B.on the list of

C.on the condition of D.on the point of

2.Which of the following is NOT a reason why China attracts foreign investment in tech companies?

A.High education standards. B.Huge growth in investment.

C.Support from the government. D.Higher salaries than those in Silicon Valley.

3.It can’t be inferred from the passage that ________.

A.the US immigration policy is strict but talent-friendly

B.Ian Roger believes the next Google might come from China

C.employees of Baidu might be accustomed to overwork

D.Chinese tech companies can provide highly competitive salaries now.

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A.The total value of investment in Asia is four times that in Europe.

B.Finances, high education standards and support make it possible for China to become the next Silicon Valley.

C.Asia attracts worldwide best talents to tech companies.

D.American tech companies will soon be beaten by those in China.
