How do consumers access, buy and use their favorite products and services? The answer to the seemingly simple question is changing. Traditionally, people often see ownership as the most desirable way to have access to products. However, an increasing number of consumers are paying to temporarily access or share products and services rather than buy or own them Customer behavior towards many goods and services changes from ownership to sharing. This transformation of people's consumption, habits has made sharing economy grow and it seems that some individuals and companies have already benefited from this trend.

Growth in sharing systems bas particularly been fueled by the Internet with the rise of social media systems. Anyone can be part of the sharing economy. It is reported that of the 44 percent of U.S. adults who are familiar with the sharing economy, 86 percent say it makes life more affordable, 83 percent say it makes life more convenient and efficient, and 78 percent say it builds a stronger community. The central idea of group consumption is simple: Obtain value which remains in goods or services that are not entirely used by their owners. 

A recent survey from Pricewaterhouse Coopers, the largest professional service firm in the world, shows this so-called "sharing economy" is growing faster than ever. Although we are not sure about the current size of this market, by 2025, according to Pricewaterhouse Coopers, the sharing economy could represent $335 billion in profit worldwide. Nowadays, well-known examples of successful corporations built on group consumption systems include Airbnb, a San Francisco-based online accommodations marketplace, and Zipcar, a car sharing brand that is now part of the vehicle rental service company.

The speed of its growth suggests that the sharing economy might represent a serious threat to established industries, due to fewer purchases in conventional markets. For consumers, it seems to bold the advantage to unite cost reduction, benefit expansion, convenience and environmental consciousness in one type of consumption. Companies therefore should understand the new situation and manage their operating system in order to adapt to current and future business models to provide new sources of profits within this growing area of the sharing economy.

A lot of people think that college is all about getting good grades, but there are a lot of other things you could be doing to make your college experience more pleasant.

Always make study friends

It's way better to study with someone else rather than by yourself! If you have trouble focusing when studying, this will keep you off your phone and any other distractions, and you will feel the responsibility of actually studying since another person's time is at stake. Make sure you are arranging study sessions with the people in your class. You can make group chats through different platforms for you to meet in the library or online.

Attend your professors' office hours

Professors always have an enormous influence on your educational path. So, make sure they are getting to know you both as a person and as a student. Therefore, office hours are the perfect time for you to come to ask questions and show an interest in their class. Even if you don't have good grades, it shows that you are trying hard, and they love that.

Check your email

Please make sure you have a valid email address. Almost everything you do in college will involve your email. This is how most professors and every other person in the university community will communicate with you and vice versa (反之亦然).

Review the material that you didn't understand

Let's be real: There are two or three days a week when we just feel out of it. We often simply feel a lot of tiredness and very little motivation. It becomes very hard for us to learn something new or remember it. That is OK and every college student feels this way sometimes!

The important thing here is how we make up for the lost time to still have good grades in our classes, and I can give you a very easy strategy to follow. The key is to review the topic or material you were supposed to understand in class later that same day. Please do this!

One of my neighbors used to have a beautiful tree in her front yard. Her dad had planted it for her 1 it was nothing more than a little branch and several years later it started to 2 towards the sky at an amazing speed. Soon it blessed her with cooling 3 in the summer and glorious, golden leaves in the fall.

When the two-day snowstorm struck our town, heavy snow4 the tree's branches that were still full of leaves. The weight split that lovely tree down the5 . It was so sad seeing half of it6 on the ground after the storm. When I talked to my neighbor later, she said that the damage had been too much and that the7 tree would have to be cut down.8 , she had saved a few seedlings from it that she hoped to9 in the future.

Still, it was a shock to drive by her house the other day and see 10 but a stump (树桩) in her front yard. I missed that tree. I missed its branches, its leaves 11 in the afternoon sun. I missed seeing its limbs (树枝) reach towards the heavens. I thought that the stump would be a sad 12 of its loss for a long time to come.

My wonderful neighbor had another plan, 13 . When I drove by her home today I saw a tiny bird feeder sitting on that stump and a colorful songbird having its 14 . It was such an affirmation (肯定) of life. It was such a joy to 15 . I could feel my heart 16 .

Life by its very nature is a 17 bag. It hands us both beauty and tragedy, love and loss, 18 and pain. What we do with it, however, is up to us. We can let it 19 us in two, or we can use even its hardest times to make our 20 stronger and our hearts more loving. We can spend it complaining or we can use it to help others.

—I haven't made up my mind. It's still ____.

—This is a busy crossroad. You ____ be too careful when crossing the street.

—To be frank. I'm still hesitating whether to accept the position I ____ at the job fair.

My story started one autumn morning, at the bend on a path. 

I was 13 years old, and was on the way to school. It was the first time I had caught sight of a fox. Fascinated to the point that I forgot all fear, I dared to go up to it. I had never come so close to a wild animal. There was nobody else around, only me and the fox. 

"Hey, fox!" I tried to greet it, though my voice was so weak it felt like I was saying hello to myself. It didn't hear me. It stayed there and I watched it. My heart was beating flat out. It was so cute. For a moment, I thought I might be able to touch it.

Throughout the day at school, I could only think of the fox at the big beech（山毛榉）tree. At my return to the place where we met, I was sure I`d find it there. 

And I did. This time I gathered a little bit more courage and called out to it, "Fox!" Of course it escaped. But that only made me long to meet it again. I decided that if I could find its kennel（洞）and catch it, I would try and tame（驯服）it, making it my friend.

Thus, I spent most of my free time in the forests trying to find the fox during the following months. But I never saw it again before winter came. During the winter, I followed its footprints far across the fields. Suddenly I was alarmed by the howling of wolves near me. I ran away frightened, stumbled and hurt my ankle. It healed very slowly, so that I had to stay at home during the winter, reading a book about animals of the forest and foxes. 

When spring arrived, I was free again. I looked for fox kennels and waited for my fox. To my amazement, it had got young ones but kept moving because of my observations; therefore I decided to observe the fox from a longer distance. 

Finally, it would let me get close. Finally, it would let me get close. 

But before that, several days had seen my distant and patient observation, during which time the fox gradually got accustomed to my presence and finally quit moving. Delighted to see its attitude transformation, I started to bring some food, put it outside the kennel and soon returned to my distant observation site to avoid disturbing and frightening the fox. Every time, it carried the food back to the kennel after cautiously sniffing. Several times later, I attempted to get close and was astonished to find that it didn't get away. What thrilled me further was that it would even initiatively walk to me and lie beside me for a while. So thrilled was I that one day I impulsively took it home, imaging to tame it with tips from my book.

To my surprise, the day after I took it home, it fled.

Book Review

Named after the ancient city of Xi`an in Shaanxi province, the film Chang`an lasts 168 minutes and brings to life some of the most famous  （figure）in Chinese literary history. 

Since its release on July 8, the movie  （gain）a rating of 

8. 1 out of ten on Douban, one of the  （large）review websites in the country, strengthening its position as one of the most praised animated blockbusters（动画大片）of the summer season. 

Different from many movies and TV shows  （feature）Li Bai, the movie employs a rather unconventional perspective, starting with the memories of Gao Shi, also  admirable poet and friend of Li. Apart  Li and Gao, the movie features other famous poets and artists of the time, including Wang Changling, known for military­themed poems, and Li Guinian, a palace  （music）, as well as royal members  held significant influence within the circle, such as Princess Yuzhen. 

Interweaving（交织）the personal fates of these figures, the film shows the scenes of the Tang dynasty. The movie also  （vivid）describes the free­spirited nature of the Tang dynasty. For instance, in the national civil service examination of the Tang dynasty, the highest achievers  （allow）the right to ride horses and pick the most beautiful flower from any residence in the capital city. 

When I was 19, determined not to spend my last teenage year stuck in a suburb in Buckingham, I 1 with an Australian friend and we traveled around Europe for months. As budget travellers, we stayed in the 2 accommodation we could find and live on bread, cheese and the 3 beef hamburger. 

This was 1990, a time before mobile phones and the 4 , when the primary contact with home was the collection of mail from the general post office. 

Before I left, Mom had made me a money pouch（荷包）to wear around my neck. She`d also made me a sleeping sheet so I could5 unclean bedding. While she didn't want me to go, these gifts were her way of telling me to have a wonderful time.

It's only now, as my 18yearold daughter is preparing to leave on her own6 year trip, that I have more sympathy for what Mom felt.

Working 7 jobs and saving money, my daughter has researched where to stay, how to get around and what to do when she arrives. She 8 asks for my opinion and I find myself desperately 9 of whether I should wade in（介入）or back off. I want to be 10 but not too involved.. I want to be cool but not aloof（漠不关心）. I want to be like the perfect guide. 

When she first mentioned gap year travel, I was encouraging, wanting her to have her own experiences that11 her. As I had mine, I didn't let myself dwell（停留）too long on the idea of her not being here. Our house has already got smaller in size and soon it will just be me, my son and the cat. And I`m not quite12 for that.

But this trip is about her. This is not 1990 and I am not 13 at home waiting for a letter. I have promised not to 14 her with messages, but 15 I know she can contact me when she wants to.
