上周权力榜评选结果公布：马云以55%的支持率位列榜首！马云：55%；任正非：20%；王健林：8%；罗永浩：6%；孙宏斌：5%；马化腾：3%；贾跃亭：1%；张一鸣：1%；李彦宏：1%；程维：0%本周权力榜马云：飞天·进化——从电商阿里到科技阿里的蝶变已走过7年的云栖大会，如今已成为深入了解阿里云的最佳窗口。今年云栖大会的主题是“飞天进化”，涵盖了从电商、人工智能、游戏、多媒体、互联网+到政务、国际、大数据、生命科学、物联网、VR、金融、YunOS等共计20个方向和领域超600场的主题演讲和展示。大会还将有不少创新科技发布，杭州市政府公布了一项“疯狂”的计划：为这座城市安装一个人工智能中枢——杭州城市数据大脑。城市大脑计算平台采用由阿里云自主研发的飞天操作系统。唐洪(现阿里云首席架构师)表示：未来，飞天还会向着集群规模更大发展，还会变成阿里数据智能的基础。据官方介绍，飞天的设计目标是：通过构建一套综合性的软硬件系统，使用户(或者应用系统)可以像使用一台计算机一样调用数亿千计的服务器存储和计算资源。可以说，飞天操作系统是阿里云技术创新的精华和结晶，如今它更进化成为互联网规模的操作系统，通过彻底打通物理层、内核层、云服务层，接入层、云市场之间的边界，飞天让数据中心的管理在规模、性能以及效率方面发挥到了最大化。包含着三个层面的进化：首先，飞天进化第一部曲，是指飞天系统本身，它从数据中心的操作系统如今演变成为互联网规模的操作系统，这是中国完全具备自主创新的技术，意义十分重大。其次，飞天进化第二部曲，是指阿里云本身，它从一家云计算公司起步，让计算和数据成为一种新的生产资料和基础设施，再通过计算和数据能力延伸出了人工智能的新能力，最新发布的城市大脑就是阿里云人工智能落地的绝佳注脚。最后，飞天进化第三部曲，是指阿里巴巴本身，它让阿里巴巴从电商的基因中走出来，实现了阿里巴巴的全新蝶变。当天大会开场，马云很快抛出——明年阿里巴巴将不再提“电子商务”，而公司明年的主题是5大“新”，即新零售、新制造、新金融、新技术、新资源。而驱动这一切的核心之一就是阿里云的操作系统，飞天。也许这正是飞天进化的第三层意义，它把阿里巴巴从电商的基因中解放出来，并蝶变成为了一家全球数一数二的科技公司。无疑，科技阿里赋予了阿里巴巴更大、更多的想象空间。以阿里云为例，在2017财年第一季度财报中，其营收达12.43亿元，同比增长156%，再次成为全球云计算增长的标杆，这也是阿里云领跑全球云计算增速的第五个季度。王健林：万达开启第四次转型，拆分金融业务成立网络科技集团万达集团产业结构再次调整，全面转型现代服务业。10月13日，万达网络科技集团在上海宣布成立，由原来的商业、文化、金融三大板块，调整为商业、文化、网络、金融四大产业集团。新成立的万达网络科技集团从万达金融集团独立分拆出来，专注线上线下融合，打造新一代物联网模式。旗下包括飞凡信息公司、快钱支付公司、征信公司、网络数据中心、海鼎公司、网络信贷公司等。万达金融集团发力传统金融业务，包括银行、保险、证券、投资等。万达网络科技集团总裁由原万达金融集团总裁曲德君担任。万达金融集团董事长兼总裁由广发银行原董事长董建岳担任。万达集团董事长王健林表示，这次企业内部结构调整是万达深化第四次转型、加速转型现代服务业的重大举措，符合中国经济转型、消费升级的大趋势。万达的转型谋求已久，层层推进：2012年5月，万达进军电商领域，发布万人招聘计划，重点引进O2O电商领域的人才；2013年，万达成立万汇网，主打线上线下融为一体的电商模式；2014年，万达、腾讯、百度联手成立万达电商，俗称“腾百万”。在此期间，万达斥资3.15亿美元收购快钱68.7%的股权，为电子商务生态系统完成支付闭环；2015年，万达金融集团成立；2016年，在第十届万达商业年会上，包括飞凡、快钱、万达网络信贷、万达财富、万达征信、百年人寿等业务在内的万达金融集团高调亮相。随着布局的推进，王健林从2015年后就多个场合谈论万达的“第四次转型”，即从房地产为主向服务业为主，形成商业、文化、金融、网络四个支柱产业，并且到2020年要有至少20%的收入来自海外。为何称为第四次转型？根据王健林2013年的演讲，万达首次转型始于1993年，从一个区域的品牌变成全国性的品牌；第二次转型，则是从住宅房地产装向商业地产，始于2000年；第三次转型则从2006年，万达向文化旅游转型，那时王健林表示第三次转型还在进行中；第四次转型，是我们向跨国企业转型，2011年并购美国电影院线就有这方面考虑。雷军：小米为何负面那么多，因为我们的模式是拉仇恨的近两年，随着华为、OPPO、vivo的强势兴起，小米手机的营业收入下滑成为了公众关注的焦点，外界对小米的模式议论纷纷。“为什么（围绕小米）有那么多负面声音？因为我们的商业模式就是拉仇恨的。”雷军说，“人家本来赚钱赚得舒舒服服，你进去一搅和，就搞得人家这个行业天翻地覆，人家能不骂你吗？”在10月13日举行的2016中国电子商务发展峰会现场，雷军在解读小米生态和商业模式时，回应了外界对小米的一些质疑声。实际上，小米系介入一些行业，挤压行业原来老牌企业的利润，也令小米树敌不少。对于“拉仇恨”，雷军有一套自己的认识。他称，拉仇恨不是根本目的，目的在于带动行业的整体效率。雷军表示，外界对于小米存在很多误解，首当其冲的便是“小米号称专注却不仅卖手机还卖电扇、电视等20多种其他产品”。据了解，在手机取得成功后，小米开始把这套模式复制在其他品类上，布局了多个领域，且在部分行业成为了领军者。雷军并不认为应把小米单纯归类为“手机公司”，小米是专卖店或品牌电商，基于此小米才有了品类扩张。“现在小米的充电宝世界第一，手环世界第二，平衡车世界第一，空气净化器中国第一，我现在这样数，世界第一或中国第一的品类里，小米里有10多个。”雷军认为，小米模式具有鲶鱼效应，它带动了小米所在行业的产品质量整体提升，但他认为今天他所干的更牛的事是进入了线下零售。雷军表示，按照其规划，未来将开设1000家小米之家线下店，小米也会成为一个零售集团。丁磊：亏百万、上天台......一元购维权者们聚集网易门前10月8日起，网易北京办公楼下聚集了一批前来维权的人，他们手持“网易一元购，专业规避法律20年”横幅，希望多少拿回一部分本金继续生活。其中也不乏“害我家破人亡”等激烈字样。一元购，简单来说，就是网站上所有商品都拆分成一元一份。一个号码可以购买多份，最后再由系统公布中奖号码。从正常逻辑上讲，一次性购买份数越多，抽中商品的几率就越大。钱一旦投出概不退还，用户会产生一种1块钱就能抢到iPhone 7、单反相机、金条等价值数千元商品的错觉。下注金额从小到大。收回本金的欲望越强烈，就越难以抽身，最终靠四处借债继续投注。这些维权者认为，网易一元购中，使用了机器人参与、指定中奖人、无第三方监督等问题，信息并没有公开透明，已经具有欺诈性质。值得注意的是，这种有博彩性质的电商模式在今年9月份已经被央视曝光，但有关部门并未责令网易一元购整改，或做出处罚。截至界面发稿时，网站依然可以正常登陆、下注。更糟糕的是，被曝光后，先前一波维权者能拿到的20%的“封口费”，现在已经拿不到了。李彦宏：成立百度资本，发布“医疗大脑”，推出语音输入法， 升级云计算品牌......就在成立百度风投一个月之后，李彦宏又发大招了。10月12日，百度宣布成立百度资本。百度风投一期投入2亿美元，专注于人工智能、AR、VR等科技创新领域，聚焦早期初创项目。而百度资本一期规模为200亿元，主要投资泛互联网领域中后期项目，李彦宏将兼任百度资本董事长及投资委员会主席。10月11日，百度对标Google和IBM的同类产品，推出医疗大脑，正式将人工智能技术应用到医疗健康行业。将通过海量医疗数据、专业文献的采集与分析进行人工智能化的产品设计，模拟医生问诊流程，与用户多轮交流，给出最终建议。百度首席科学家吴恩达称：“希望百度的人工智能技术可以帮助医院、医生和每一位患者，协助医疗开启人工智能时代。”有意思的是，当天下午，前丁香园CTO冯大辉宣布创业，做面向医疗和健康领域的垂直搜索引擎，提供高质量的内容和数据。冯大辉表示，“做个搜索，跟百度医疗搜索干一架”。此外，当天，百度宣布对旗下百度云计算品牌进行升级，通过此次品牌升级，百度将整合旗下云计算产品架构和服务能力，面向个人的云服务回归“百度网盘”的产品名称；原面向企业的“百度开放云”则正式启用“百度云”品牌，面向企业商务服务。未来，百度网盘除了为用户提供存储及分发服务之外，还将基于用户喜好推荐感兴趣的新闻等内容。百度近日推出的语音输入法TalkType也值得关注，TalkType最大特点是将语音输入的优先级提升到键盘输入之上，这也意味着将与谷歌Gboard、微软Word Flow输入法，以及国内的讯飞输入法和搜狗输入法等展开竞争。不过，与上述输入法“二选一”不同，TalkType输入法专门为语音优先模式研发和设计的，主打voice first而非voice also。曹国伟：新浪微博股价上涨近两倍，市值快速逼近Twitter（126亿美元）微博一直被用户戏称为中国版Twitter，两家公司的确有许多共同点，如大部分营收来自于广告业务，将140字符消息长度的限制放宽，甚至都面临着收购传闻，但在今年股价走势上，两家公司却有天壤之别。在Twitter股价今年累计下跌20%以上的同时，微博股价却因在中国市场无可匹敌的统治优势支撑着其营收前景，推动公司股价上涨了近两倍。微博当前的市值约为110亿美元，正快速逼近Twitter 126亿美元的市值。“微博是中国唯一的社交媒体平台，且不用面对Twitter、Instagram和YouTube等非本土对手的竞争压力，”晨星驻香港分析师玛丽·孙表示。“因为海外社交媒体平台未进入中国市场，微博抓住了发展的机遇。”作为中国最流行的社交网络应用，腾讯旗下的微信拥有超过8.06亿月活跃用户，但该平台与微博有着截然不同的功能。微信是一款多用途私人消息超级应用，相当于Facebook、Uber、Paypal、Tinder及其它许多应用的结合体，微博则扮演着在公众账号上查找和分享信息的第一平台。与微博不同，去年时市值曾一度达到340亿美元的Twitter，当前正面临着来自Snapchat、Instagram和Facebook等诸多竞争对手越来越大的竞争压力。微博当前股价为未来12个月收益预期的51倍，超过全球同行36倍的平均动态市盈率，高于Twitter。今年6月，微博日活跃用户数量达到2.82亿，较上年同期增长了33%，同样远高于Twitter。相比之下，在微博股价周一创出自2014年首次公开招股以来新高的同时，因为营收增幅放缓及用户增长乏力，Twitter股价早已跌至2013年首次公开招股时26美元的发行价之下。分析师当预计，Twitter明年的营收将为28.5亿美元，不及此前预计的43亿美元。Twitter上一季度月活跃用户同比仅增长了3%。任正非：华为否认涉足造车领域，发布nova抵御vivo、OPPO竞争日前有消息爆出，华为正密谋涉足“造车”领域。华为这一次并不甘心只扮演核心供应商的角色，而是打算借助代工厂的力量，推出华为品牌的汽车产品。业内人士表示，华为极有可能求助于加拿大汽车零部件制造商和整车代工商麦格纳。麦格纳服务的品牌包括宝马、捷豹路虎、戴勒姆等，目前在全球拥有294家工厂、87个工程研发和销售中心，未来两年还会在欧洲和北美各建一座新厂。对此消息，华为发声明表示，公司没有进入汽车制造业的计划，也没有推出华为品牌汽车的计划。华为在声明中称，华为专注于ICT领域，主张与汽车制造企业广泛合作，为车辆平台提供连接、互通的解决方案。据了解，上月底德国三大高档车企业宝马、戴姆勒和奥迪宣布将携手欧美等半导体和通信设备企业，在采用新一代高速通信第5代(5G)技术的服务开发方面展开合作，这其中就有华为。目前，在中国智能市场，华为以18.6％位居第一，OPPO和vivo紧随其后，分别占据12.7%和10.6%。二者市场份额相加甚至超过华为，华为正在面临全新的竞争态势，vivo、OPPO已被列为华为手机的头号对手。10月13日晚间，华为终端全新系列nova在中国发布，这款被定义为聚焦年轻用户、设计上主打精品路线的手机，实则是为了抵御来自vivo、OPPO的竞争压力。在Mate系列、P系列站稳市场的同时，华为已意识到来自OPPO和vivo在3000元以下市场的竞争压力。根据华为终端的战略，nova是华为丰富自身产品谱系、巩固线下市场的策略之一。除了发布nova之外，华为终端产品线总裁何刚会上还宣布，华为终端2016年第一亿台产品正式下线。这意味着华为终端距离实现2016年全年1.4亿部的出货量目标又近一步。杨元庆：PC龙头地位岌岌可危，联想拟收购富士通PC业务7月份才收购完日本NEC电脑业务，联想又被曝拟收购另一家日本IT企业富士通的电脑业务。近日，日本媒体报道，日本富士通因业绩不佳而决定将个人电脑业务并入联想，双方正在成立合资公司。对此，联想方面称并不知情，但对这一并购不置可否；富士通中国则不予置评。业内人士认为，在PC需求整体放缓的大背景下，联想频频发起海外并购，是希望通过扩大规模效应保持领先优势。近日，在云栖大会上，王坚炮轰联想，“有一家公司大家很熟悉，叫联想，它就在中关村，看起来，我们的物理的距离很近，但实际上它们的距离比这个硅谷还要远， 我想它们之间的差异就是联想缺乏科技创新的动力。”有意思的是王坚给联想的还是“两连击”，在随后宣布与夏普、海尔等品牌的战略合作，推出基于YunOS的互联网电视时，王坚还指出 “海尔和联想的距离，只差一个YunOS”。王坚很少如此直白的抨击一家厂商，他这么说一方面是敦促联想加入YunOS生态一起玩，另一方面也是有理有据。从事实结果来看过去几年联想除了艰难维系PC老大的位置以外，包括在智能手机、智能硬件、VR等新兴领域的进展并不顺利，几乎各种新业务的尝试目前来看不是慢人一拍就是难觅亮点，缺乏创新动力的确是重要原因。赖梅松：中通快递赴美IPO拟融资15亿美元，净利率高达18%10月10日，中通快递一位不愿具名的高管证实，该公司已于9月30日正式向美国纳斯达克交易所提交IPO资料。该公司拟在美国融资15亿美元，用以进一步扩大规模，包括建设和购买新的运转中心、卡车、设备，增强信息系统以及做潜在战略收购。而中通的招股说明书也第一次披露了家底，中通快递2015年营收为6.39亿美元（约合42亿元人民币），净利润却达1.15亿美元（7.7亿人民币），净利率高达18%，而该公司自己披露的营业毛利率更是高达25.1%。相比较早先上市的圆通、顺丰等快递公司所披露的净利率仅在3%-6%之间，中通快递的利润率之高实在令人惊叹。在快递行业，中通与申通、圆通、韵达被称为“三通一达”。去年底，申通开启了快递企业上市之路后，快递企业迎来了上市潮。今年3月23日，圆通速递借壳大杨创世上市，整体作价为175亿元。民营“快递一哥”顺丰速运，也在5月份开启借壳，作价433亿元借壳鼎泰新材实现A股上市。今年7月初，韵达公布重组预案，新海股份拟以全部资产和负债与韵达全体股东持有的韵达100%股权的等值部分进行置换。而早在今年2月19日，中通快递就被媒体曝出将在美国上市，当时预计可能在今年晚些时候或2017年初进行IPO，融资规模在10亿至20亿美元。胡玮炜：腾讯、王兴参投摩拜单车，共享单车之争或将复制当年的打车大战在消费升级、体育产业兴起和城市出行多元化的浪潮下，在大半年前的春天，各个品牌的智能自行车一股脑地推向市场。从8月至今，短短两个月内，摩拜单车和ofo两个共享单车项目均令人咋舌地接连公布4轮融资，成为当下资本寒冬最逆市而上的现象。继9月底1亿美元C轮融资消息之后，共享单车平台摩拜单车确认于近日完成新一轮融资。据了解，本轮融资投资方包括高瓴、华平、腾讯、红杉、启明创投、贝塔斯曼、愉悦资本、熊猫资本、祥峰投资和创新工场等多家机构，同时得到了美团创始人CEO王兴的个人投资。10月10日，ofo共享单车宣布完成1.3亿美元C轮融资。投资机构包括滴滴出行、美国对冲基金Coatue、顺为资本、小米、中信产业基金、元璟资本、YuriMilner、经纬中国、金沙江创投等等。ofo方面表示，在未来ofo将与小米展开战略合作。早前滴滴出行方面表示，滴滴出行与ofo将进一步为人们“城市出行共享”展开战略合作，用户在滴滴平台上有望直接体验到ofo的服务。一个值得关注的现象是，仅摩拜单车和ofo共享单车背后的投资方几乎涵盖了所有一线主流基金。未来，单车出行领域的竞争或许将复制当年的打车大战。君，已阅读到文档的结尾了呢~~

What do you think of the future of digital learning technology?Cues: useful and helpful for study, pricePart ALead inTask 3 Discuss the following questions. 1. Which one do you prefer, traditional textbooks or e-books?a. I prefer e-books, because they are convenient and can provide much more instant information for students. b. I prefer traditional textbooks, because I will not feel so easily tired when reading them. Besides, I can understand better the knowledge contained.2. What do you think of the future of digital learning technology?a. I think its prospect is great, because it’s really useful and helpful for student learning. b. I don’t think it’ll be popular because some e-readers are still too expensive for most students.Part ATextCan College Students Learn as Well on iPads?Compared with traditional textbooks, the iPad and other digital reading devices are likely to save on textbook costs in the long term, to provide students with more and better information faster, and ― no small matter ― to lighten the college student’s backpack.Part ATextThere’s a lot to like about digital learning. Santa Clara University student Christopher Paschal, 19, forexample, appreciated the search function in hiseconomics e-textbook, and said the included video clips offered “a new method of learning,” and got rid of “themonotony of endless pages of reading.”…Part AText… But finally, “I feel that I understand materials better inregular textbooks,” Paschal says. Why? For collegestudents, it’s more difficult to look at a computer screen when you’re tired, he says, and harder to concentratewhen Facebook, YouTube and e-mail are just a clickaway.Part ATextThough many of those problems are being or have been solved, some students aren’t quite ready to use the devices for academic purposes. And some educational experts suggest the choices offered by the new technology may be making it harder to learn rather than easier.Part ATextIt may simply be that the technology is still unfamiliar. While e-readers have taken off in the leisurereading market, publishers have been slower to jump into the education market. Reasons are different but one challenge for publishers is that reading for the purpose of gaining knowledge is more complex than reading for pleasure.…Part AText… “Usually in a novel you’re going through it from start to finish. In a textbook you’re constantly flipping back andforth. You’re all over the book a lot more often,” saysMatt Lilek, 22, a computer science major at Joliet Junior College in Illinois.Part ATextEven so, expectations remain high for e-reader technology on campuses. Some universities plan to giveiPads to freshmen. At a recent ceremony, each member ofthe UC Irvine School of Medicine’s incoming class received not only the traditional white coat, but also anew iPad, pre-loaded with everything necessary for thefirst year of course work.Part ATextScores of others, including Reed College and North Carolina State University, plan to offer opportunities forstudents to test-drive iPads. And two-thirds of campustechnology chiefs predicted last fall that e-books will become an “important platform for instructional resources” within five years, according to the Campus Computing Project.Part ATextPublishers, meanwhile, have big ideas for student learning. “That’s the great promise,” says Don Kilburn, president of Pearson Learning Solutions, a publisher of education materials.Part ATextMorefaultsare perhaps inevitable. “representBut verythe realtechnologicaldevelopmentsopportunity to remake education for the better,” says Kaplan’s Olson. “The possibility for the textbook to come alive with interactivity will make the next several years of e-book innovation interesting to watch.” (450 words)Part ATextTranslation大学生使用苹果平板电脑、电子书能学好吗？与传统的教材相比，苹果平板电脑(iPad)及其他数码 阅读器从长远来看可能会节约教材成本，为学生提供更多 更好更快捷的信息，还可以减轻学生的背包重量――这点也是不小的功劳。Part ATextTranslation数字化学习有很多令人喜爱之处。 比如，圣塔克拉 拉大学的一位19岁大学生克里斯多夫?帕斯夏就很欣赏他的经济学电子课本的搜索功能，他还说里面的视频剪辑提供了?一种新的学习方法?，而且避免了?逐页文字阅读的 单调性?。 ......Part ATextTranslation......但最后他又说：?我觉得读传统教材会理解得更好.”为什 么呢？ 对于大学生来说，疲惫的时候看电脑屏幕是困难 的，而且，看脸谱网(Facebook)、视频网(YouTube)和电 子邮件只是弹指一键的事，因此也很难专注。Part APart A TextTexttranslationTranslation尽管很多问题正在或已经解决，一些学生还没完全准备好将这些设备用于学习。有些教育专家认为这种新技术带来的选择也许会使学习变得更难而非更易。Part ATextTranslation原因可能就是人们对这技术不熟悉，尚未普及。电子 阅读器在休闲阅读市场已经流行起来，而出版商进入教育 市场的脚步却还很慢。原因各种各样，但出版商面临的一 个挑战就是，学习型阅读比娱乐型阅读要难。 ......Part ATextTranslation......?通常，读小说可以一口气从头读到尾。看教材则要不断地翻前翻后，而且要翻很多次。? 22岁的马特?利雷特说 道.他是位于伊利诺斯州的乔利埃特初级学院的一名计算 机科学专业生。Part ATextTranslation即便如此，人们对于电子阅览技术应用于大学的期望 仍然很高。有些大学打算给大一新生发放iPad。加州大学 欧文分校医学院的新生在近期的开学典礼上，不但领了传 统的白色衣袍，还领了iPad，里面已预先载入了第一年课 程学习所需的资料。Part APart A TextTexttranslationTranslation包括里德学院和北卡罗来纳州大学在内的其他几十所 大学也计划让学生体验一下iPad。根据信息化校园计划， 三分之二的大学里的技术主管去年秋季预言说，电子读物 在5年之内会成为?一个重要的教学资源平台?。Part APart A TextTexttranslationTranslation出版商们对于学生的学习也动了大念头呢。 ?那个 发展前景很好。?
