Many companies today hold meetings to discuss their new plans. As people are paying more attention to the environment problems, more companies are looking for ways to reduce their bad influence on the environment. Many of them achieve this by using web meeting.
Web meeting is a technology that allows people to communicate better over the Internet. It’s an easy way of hosting and attending a meeting. Participants(与会者) don’t have to leave the office. Each of them will receive an invitation with the meeting time and date on it. When the meeting is ready to begin, they must sit before their computers.
With web meeting, all participants can attend the meeting at their own desks. They don’t need to drive a car to travel to and from the meeting. As a result, no fuel（燃料) is used and less time is taken up in attending a web meeting.
Materials for the meeting are simply e-mailed to all the participants before it begins. Then participants can just read them on the screen. For the company, this not only saves the use of paper but also greatly reduces the mailing cost.
As a meeting hall is not used, the only power for a web meeting is the power that is used by the computers. Besides, organized don’t have to pay for food or accommodation（住宿)for the participants. All this means that less energy is used.
In a word, web meeting is a cheaper, greener, and more friendly way of hosting and attending a meeting. Companies that hold web meetings are willing to work hard for a better environment. So they can more easily find their working partners who have the same green ideas. In return, they develop good relationship with other companies and improve their business.

Ma Yun became one of the richest men in China when his company Alibaba went on the stock（股票)market last year with a value of around 140 billion-the largest public offering in history. Here are some stories about him on the way to success.
Ma made his first trip to the a US in 1995 and used the Internet for the first time. After searching for “beer”, he saw that no results came up about China. Then he searched for “China” and still saw no results. He decided to set up a Chinese website--the seed for Alibaba was sown(播种).
Ma said he was refused many times in his life. He failed the College Entrance Examination in China three times and few companies offered him jobs, including one at KFC. And he was refused by the famous Harvard University 10 times.
It was difficult to learn English when Ma was a teenager because of limited resources. However, he found that he could learn English well by giving tourists free guides around his hometown Hangzhou. And he kept it for nine years. Ma said that tourists opened up a new world for him because everything they said and did was so different from what he had been taught at school and by his parents.
Ma’s hero is Forrest Gump who never gives up. When he made a speech about his success at Davos(达沃斯论坛)in 2015,Ma said, “Life is like a box of chocolates because you never know what you are going to get.”
根据上面短文的内容回答问题。When did Ma Yun make his first trip to the US.

In English, the spelling of words does not always represent(代表)the sound. And some words seem to have too many letters. An American called Noah Webster wanted to do something for the development of English, so he began his work on it. His first book, The Elementary(基础的)Spelling Book, suggested making the spelling of English words easy. The book was very popular. In fact, Webster is famous for his American Dictionary of the English Language. This dictionary came out in 1828 after it was completed. It introduced lots of new American words, with information about their pronunciation, use and the new spelling. Today, Webster's dictionary is still widely used in English-speaking countries.

Successful people in life imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. It's like having a sign to show you where you want to go. Think of it in this way. There are two drivers.One has a place to go to clearly in mind which can be found on a map. He can drive straight there surely without any wasted time. The other driver has no goal , or a map.
But she drivers aimlessly(无目的地） around, never getting anywhere, just using up oil. Which driver do you want to be?
They decide what they want in life and then get there by setting goals and making plans. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren't difficult to set, and they aren't difficult to reach.
