Psychology（心理学）tells us that many people hate to take risks. But it is good for us to take risks, especially (尤其)when the risk is to achieve a desired result. In that way, we become stronger and braver.

Our human nature should be to take risks, but some people just sit and wish they didn’t have the fear（恐惧）to move on. This is because of one or two failures in their lives. Please step out and don’t let the past hold you back from living life to the fullest. Move forward and move on!

In studying the psychology of taking risks, we find that human nature provides(提供) us with the desire (渴望)to experiment and take chances.

Risk taking is a great benefit（好处）that allowed our ancestors(祖先) to become stronger and stronger day by day. By taking risks they fought off enemies and discovered new territories（领土）. This attitude has become a part of our modern culture. Riding a roller coaster is a common risk taking activity that even the average person seems to enjoy although they have the understanding that it is dangerous. This psychological and biological (生物学上的) connection （联系）creates an interesting connection between what is unsafe and what humans enjoy.

Getting in a car each day is a risk. Getting out of bed is a risk. There is such thing as perfect safety. We need to take risks so that we can complete (finish) many things. Astronauts take risks when they get inside a rocket; however, the things they achieve are great. Businessmen take a risk when they buy parts of a company. However, without doing that, they could not make more money.

We need to take risks so that we can gain something. It is impossible to move forward in life, earn money, enjoy a relationship, play a sport, or do anything else without taking a risk. It is all part of the game. It’s one of the most important parts of life.

     In a world with limited land, water and other natural resources (资源), the harm from the traditional

business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decades has seen more and more forests disappearing

and globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed,

and that we must be able to develop in sustainable (可持续的) ways. That means growth with low

carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while

using its supply of natural resources.

     Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the

global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decades. China, for

example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global

energy revolution. It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge

amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth

in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil (棕榈油), which is produced without

cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by

more than 50%.

     Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for

reducing carbon emissions (排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger

arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally,

governments can avoid the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some

of those expenses can accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one.

     The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of growing population within the

limits if this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product

industries.

1. The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that ______.

D. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests.

3. To full develop the low-carbon markets, government can ______.

A. cut public expenses

B. forbid carbon emission

C. develop public resources

D. encourage energy conservation

4. We can learn from the last paragraph that businesses have many chances to ______.
