26、 It is important to learn business English if you are going to successfully communicate with others. If a university offers a course on business English, it will be a good idea to take the class. Reading, writing and speaking English is necessary to start a business. Vocabulary and grammar are a good place to start learning business English. You need to know what words mean.

27、Parking in the CBD of any Australian city is expensive, hard to come by and often an unavoidable headache.
But Rylan Kindness, a 16-year-old entrepreneur (企业家) from Brisbane, thinks he might have the answer to this problem.
It was after Rylan realized his parents were spending hours to try and find parking deals in the city that he came up with the idea for a centralized system. This system shows users the best price for parking in the area they want and offers users a daily deal with a discount.
Rylan now doubles as a high school student and the CEO of Parking Deals Australia, a role he took on four months ago when he launched the business from his bedroom.
Parking Deals Australia isn’t even Rylan’s first business. When he was barely 11, Rylan came up with an idea to sell wholesale (批发的) scooter parts (儿童滑板车配件) online, purely because he just wanted some extra money. On the side, he’s succeeding in other passions as well.
And despite Rylan clearly being a high-achiever and having a knack (诀 窍) for business, he admitted it hasn’t always been smooth sailing.
“I’ve learned so many crazy things through trial and error. Every day I fail somewhere but I always try to get better. My biggest failure was when I first set up everything and thought it was what everyone else would like but it’s a shock when you see people not enjoying what you’re doing. It makes you want to cry a little bit but then you polish the product and keep going, ” he said.
While Rylan didn’t want to say exactly how much his now-bustling company is worth, he did admit he’s making a tidy profit.
“I earn more in one day than I was earning for three months work in a cafe but I’m investing it all back into the business. what I’ve learned is that if you’re starting a business just to make money, you’re definitely going to fail. I’m there to help millions of people and that’s what really gets me going, ” he said.
Rylan’s goal with Parking Deals Australia is to take it countrywide.
“We want to be everyone’s second step in their parking journey and save millions of people millions of dollars, ” he said.
【1】According to the article, the centralized system can ________.
A.find free parking areas
B.analyze users’ parking habits
C.show the nearest parking lot for drivers
D.recommend the cheapest parking spaces
【2】What can we learn about Rylan Kindness?
A.He got the idea for the parking system from his parents.
B.He started to display a talent for business when he was about 11.
C.He left school to run his own company four months ago.
D.He started his first business by setting up Parking Deals Australia.
【3】Rylan’s business experience ________.
A.has shown him that the beginning is the most difficult time
B.has taught him to work through failures by improving
C.has pushed him to attempt crazy things, even when he fails
D.has inspired him not to care too much about others’ opinions
【4】What was Rylan’s main purpose for starting his business?
A.To earn some extra money for making bigger investments.
B.To become one of the most successful entrepreneurs in Australia.
C.To help people while making a profit.
D.To expand his influence on a national scale.

• Self-Compassion (自我关怀)
【2】 This can include feeling like you must be perfect to be accepted or an unrealistic sense of others' expectations. The answer to perfectionism isn't letting it all go— it's self-compassion, which means you are kind and understanding when faced with personal failures—after all, who ever said you were supposed to be perfect? How we treat ourselves through the ups and downs of life can have a huge impact on health and mental health.
• Social Connection
From the time we are born , we need social connection in order to grow and succeed. 【3】 It can be talking to one trusted person about how you're really doing or having a visit with any family member or friend. If this feels out of reach, try making a short list of people who at any point have given you a sense of belonging. 【4】
• Exercise
