Centuries ago, influencing people on a large ...

Centuries ago, influencing people on a large scale (规模) wasn’t easy for ordinary people. Word of mouth was really the only way to pass on information. Books had to be hand-copied, which took a lot of time and was expensive. When the printing press arrived, many more people could get reading materials. Go back to the present age of the, Internet and social media, anyone’s voice can be heard, and anyone’s face can be seen within seconds worldwide.

If you want to expand your incidence, online videos might be the answer. The online videos are very popular nowadays. Here are the facts: 432, 000 hours of videos are uploaded daily to YouTube. Sitting through all of them would take you 50 years! Also, the number of people watching YouTube has increased by 40 percent every year since 2014. It is said that by 2019, video traffic will be 80 percent of all Internet traffic.

In short, if you’re the kind of person that likes leaving your mark, consider becoming a YouTuber. YouTubers are people who often produce and appear in online videos. Perhaps you have thought that creating and posting videos online isn’t real work. Think again. Weng-ie, a Chinese-born Australian vlogger (博主) has more than 9 million followers. She struggles to be a success. It’s bridging that gap between making videos in your bedroom and actually building a media business.

Companies have offered her paid vacations so she could post photos online. She has to refuse several offers because she is too busy making videos.

Don’t feel like you have to be the next YouTube star in order to get started. Start small. Be patient. Have fun. A lot can be done with just your smart phone, your good idea and, most importantly you. What’s stopping you from using videos to influence the online world?

1.What does the underlined word “incidence” in paragraph 2 mean?

A.The number of videos. B.The extent of effect.

C.The business done online. D.The desire to be a vlogger.

2.How does the author mainly present the popularity of online videos?

A large﹣scale study has found a link between eating a diet based on organic food and having a reduced risk of cancer． If the new results are confirmed， promoting organic food consumption could be a promising preventative strategy against the disease， a team of researchers from several French institutions said．

Among the environmental risks for cancer， there are growing concerns about exposure to different types of pesticides（杀虫剂） from farming． The impact of such chemicals on the human body is still not well understood but there are some indications that harmful effects can occur even at low concentrations．

Meanwhile， pushed by environmental and health concerns， the organic food market continues to grow rap﹣idly． Organic food is produced without the use of synthetic（合成的） fertilizers， pesticides， genetically modified organisms， and the use of veterinary（兽医的） medications．

"Organic foods are less likely to contain pesticide remains than conventional foods， and studies have shown that an organic diet reduces exposure to certain pesticide，" Julia Baudry， lead author of the study from the Centre of Research in Epidemiology and Statistics in France， told Newsweek．

"In the general population， the primary route of exposure is diet， especially intake of conventionally grown fruits and vegetables． However， few studies have examined the association of organic food consumption with cancer risk． "

For the study， published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine， a team of researchers examined data on the organic food consumption frequency and dietary intake of 68，946 French adults collected by an ongoing survey which began in 2009． They then followed up on these people at various points in the future．

Participants reported how often （never， occasionally or most of the time） they consumed 16 types of organic foods including fruits， vegetables， soy﹣based products， dairy products， meat and fish， eggs， grains and legumes， bread and cereals， flour， vegetable oils and condiments， ready﹣to﹣eat meals， coffee， tea， and herbal tea， wine， biscuits， chocolate， sugar and so on．

1.What is the finding of the study？

A. Promoting organic food consumption may help to prevent diseases．

B. Processed food consumption may lead to an increased risk of cancer．

C. Organic food consumption can help cure cancer in a short time．

D. Eating a diet based on organic food may lead to the risk of cancer．

2.Why is organic food becoming popular nowadays？

A. Because organic food market continues to grow rapidly．

B. Because people care about environment and health issues．

C. Because organic food never contains harmful chemicals．

D. Because organic food is produced in a clean environment．

3.Which of the following is the advantage of organic food？

A. Organic food never contains harmful pesticide remains．

B. Organic food is less likely to be exposed to some pesticides．

C. Different types of pesticides won't affect organic food．

D. Organic food won't be influenced by outside environment．

I value many political leaders, who have inspired me by their contributions to society, and their ability to change our futures. But of all the people I have known in my life, the person I admire most is my father.

While I grew up, it always made me sad to see so many of my friends and neighbors without a father or father-like figure around.

Whenever I feel like giving up, or have a question or a concern, I know I can always call on him for advice. From him I have also learned that sometimes you have to put others’ needs ahead of your own, but you should make sure you are not taken advantage of by others. His strength seems to be unbreakable during hard times, and he is extremely determined to accomplish anything he sets his mind on, no matter how tiny it is. I highly respect him for how he stands up for what he believes in, and will never back down. I have always admired his open mind, compassion for people, and sense of understanding. He is a very reserved man, but to everybody’s surprise, he has a great sense of humor, and always knows how to put a smile on the faces of his wife, his children and his friends.

Living in his affection and instruction, I am very proud of my father. He also professes how proud he is of his children, and is still there to support us in whatever we are involved in.
