13．請閱讀下面短文和表格，并按照要求用英語寫一篇 150詞左右的文章．
（1）In its early years，F(xiàn)acebook consisted entirely of college students．In 2005，despite much protest（異議），the founder Mark Zuckerberg decided to open Facebook to high school students．The strategy change has worked．Facebook has become the most popular online social networking service．
（2）Blockbuster，a video-rental chain，survived the transition from VHS to DVD just fine-but then failed to adapt to the next big change．Blockbuster remained flat-footed（無準備的）when Netflix started sending video through the mail and cable and phone companies started offering video-on-demand．The firm is now chasing its industry instead of leading it．
（3）Data shows that initiatives with excellent change management are six time more likely to meet objectives than those with poor change management．By simply moving from"poor"to"fair"，change management increases the likelihood of meeting objectives by the three fold．Change management，when applied effectively on a project，significantly increases the success rate of the effort．
[寫作內(nèi)容]
1．用約30個單詞概述上述信息的主要內(nèi)容；
2．結(jié)合上述信息，簡要分析成功者與失敗者對"改變"所持的態(tài)度；
3．談談你對"改變"的認識（不少于兩點）．
[寫作要求]
1．寫作過程中不能直接引用原文語句；
2．作文中不能出現(xiàn)真實姓名和學校名稱；
3．不必寫標題．
[評分標準]
內(nèi)容完整，語言規(guī)范，語篇連續(xù)，詞數(shù)適當．
The descriptions and the graph show us that change is both a survival skill and s success skill．If you don't change and move forward，you'll be left behind．
One of thelargestgaps that exist betweensuccessful people and unsuccessfulones is how they respond to change．Successful peopleview it as an opportunity for growth．However，unsuccessful people tend to view change in a negative light．They struggle with fear，in this case an emotion based on thefalse belief that something bad of uncomfortable is going to result from change．This is the reason for theirdecision to stop change from happening entirely．
I feel changing is one of the hardest things a person can do．With the world moving so fast and technology advancing faster than ever，we need to welcome what's coming and adapt，rather than fear it，deny it or hide from it．．

7．People become quite illogical when they try to decide what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten．If you lived in the Mediterranean，for instance，you would consider octopus a great gift．You would not be able to understand why some people find it repulsive．On the other hand，your stomach would turn at the idea of frying potatoes in animal fat--the normally accepted practice in many northern countries．The sad truth is that most of us have been brought up to eat certain foods and we stick to them all our lives．
No creature has received more praise and abuse than the common garden snail．Cooked in wine，snails are a great luxury in various parts of the world．There are countless people who，ever since their early years，have learned to associate snails with food．My friend，Robert，lives in a country where snails are despised．As his flat is in a large town，he has no garden of his own．For years he has been asking me to collect snails from my garden and take them to him．
The idea never appealed to me very much，but one day，after a heavy shower，I happened to be walking in my garden when I noticed a huge number of snails taking a walk on some of my prize plants．Acting on a sudden impulse（沖動），I collected several dozen，put them in a paper bag，and took them to Robert．Robert was delighted to see me and equally pleased with my little gift．I left the bag in the hall and Robert and I went into the living room where we talked for a couple of hours．I had forgotten all about the snails when Robert suddenly said that I must stay for dinner．Snails would，of course，be the main dish．I did not fancy the idea and I reluctantly followed Robert out of the room．To our dismay，we saw that there were snails everywhere：they had escaped from the paper bag and had taken complete possession of the hall!I have never been able to look at a snail since then．

32．The underlined word"repulsive"in Paragraph 1 most probably means"A"．

A．was glad that he could share them with his friend
B．was angry because they might damage his beloved plants
C．thought that they would make a delicious dish
D．was depressed because it was hard to catch them all
