17-year-old Brennan Agranoff，a colorblind boy，started his custom sock business in middle school，withnall loan （贷款）he got from his Parents. Up till now，he has sold over 1 million worth of socks online in the last four years
Brennan thought of the idea for his custom sock company at just 13 years old.

Only when he had everything planned out did he ask his parents for a loan.＂They thought the idea was a little out there，＂Brennan recentlytold CNN Money， but he kept pushing， and finally received a $3,000 loan to start his company. Then he began to work on his own designs. The fact that he was colorblind didnt stop him and he has created over 200 designs now.
Business was slow the first year， but then Brennan started pushing his Hoopswagg products heavily onthe Internet. Orders soon started coming in in large numbers， and Hoopswagg became a popular brancag custom sock lovers. Right now， his designs can be found on Hoopswagg website， Amazon and ebaamo four years after starting his business， Brennan has achieved great success while balancing（平衡） schoolhouse chores and his social life.

阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各小题。
China had one of the earliest civilizations(文明) in the world. 43 We know the Chinese had a written language as early as 1500 BC. You can see that Chinese writing is very different from the writing in other countries. The Chinese use a different character for each word. People in many countries have to learn only 26 letters but people in China have to memorize about 600 characters before they can do even basic reading and writing.
A man in China, named Confucius(孔子), was teaching the people of China what they should and should not do. He was a great wise man. His teachings filled several books and became a way of life for the Chinese, and many other people in Asia. Confucius taught that people should listen to their kings, and also that rulers should take care of their people. He taught people to listen to their parents and teachers and to be kind to others. He said, “44 Don’t do to others what you would not want others to do to you.”
Many inventions were made and used in China before the rest of the world even heard of them. By 600 AD the Chinese had invented printing. After a few centuries, they made the compass, which was a great help to sailors. A compass can tell north from south. The Chinese were the first to discover how to make explosive powder(火药).
From all this, you can see that the Chinese were very busy making things that the rest of the world found really exciting and helpful when people learnt about them.
