It was once unheard-of to be a businessman in China. Nowadays, though, it’s quite common to become your own boss. Let’s say you have an idea. Maybe you want to open an English school or sell Japanese comics. First, you need a business plan. It sets out what you’ll sell and how much everything will cost. Most businesses that fail didn’t have this. If you need to borrow money at the start, banks will ask for a detailed plan. The best starting place for a business plan is the 4Ps: product, place, price and promotion. All these must be strong to be successful. Product Your product must have something unique. What makes it special compared to other similar products? If you want to start a noodle shop that has nothing new, don’t expect people to show much interest. You can research your product. For food, let people try it for free. For toys, let a few children play with them to see if they like them. Place There’s no point having a product that people want to buy if your shop is in an empty mall. Think about which type of person is going to buy what you sell. Where do they usually go shopping? When looking at possible places, spend the day there. See how many people pass by. Also, are there other shops nearby selling similar products? If so, how can you be better than them? Price Work out how much it costs to make or provide your product. As a general rule, your price will be double the cost. After all, you’re also paying for rent, staff and you need to eat too! Promotion How can you attract people to your shop? Advertising in newspapers and on TV is expensive. Perhaps you can get free advertising by getting a newspaper to write about your business. 1.What’s the best title for the passage? A. How to start a business. B. Starting a business soon. C. Starting your own business. D. Preparations for starting a business. 2.According to the author, the reason why most businesses fail is due to lack of ________. A. a business plan B. a shop C. money D. successful businessmen 3.If you want to start a noodle shop, you should ________. A. expect people to show much interest B. research your noodles C. let people try it at a low price D. let children have a try 4.What does “If so” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. There are shops selling the goods like yours. B. Many people pass by. C. You should think about which type of person is going to buy what you sell. D. You should spend the day on possible places. 5.You are selling toys to children. It costs 5 yuan to make each one. How much should you charge the children for each toy?

You probably hear it all the time — people telling you to “learn English”. But does this mean children in English-speaking countries don’t need to bother learning a new language? Not at all. In fact, an even larger number of young people will soon be taught foreign languages, thanks to the mental advantages of bilingualism. Psychologists once thought that growing up bilingual might lead to verbal delays－a late or absent development of talking. But US magazine Scientific American has revealed that this is not true, and reported that children who speak more than one language “show greater mental flexibility, a superior grasp of abstract concepts and a better working memory.” As the New York Times put it, “being bilingual, it turns out, makes you smarter.” In Europe, learning foreign languages is increasingly popular. A European report shows that from 2005-2010, the percentage of European students learning a foreign language rose from 67.5 percent to 79.2 percent. Most European kids start learning another language at age 6. In Belgium, it starts at 3. New reforms being introduced in the UK will mean all children could be taught a foreign language, such as Mandarin or Greek, from the age of 7. The most popular foreign language for European kids was English, followed by German and French. In comparison, Americans don’t give a fig for learning foreign languages. Compared to 50 percent of European adults who are bilingual, only 9 percent of adults in the US are fluent in more than one language, according to a 2011 report. American students are often not exposed to a second language until high school. However, recent statistics show demand is growing in the US for people to become more bilingual. According to a USA Today chart released in July, 21 percent of US children speak another language at home. A number of institutions in the country are also pushing foreign languages in schools. Three school districts in Delaware will launch Chinese and Spanish programs next year. More people are learning Chinese, French and Spanish. 1.Psychologist used to believe that children who grow up bilingual ________. A. are more flexible mentally B. are slow in the development of talking C. have a poorer working memory D. are smarter in understanding abstract concept 2.It can be inferred from the passage that ________. A. Americans are more interested in learning another language than Europeans B. British kids began to learn foreign languages at the earliest age C. 21% of US children study a foreign language in the school D. not all schools in America are teaching foreign languages 3.What does the underlined phrase”give a fig for” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Attach importance to B. Have talent for C. Invest money in D. Have demand for 4.Which are the most popular foreign languages in the US? A. Mandarin and Greek B. English, German and French C. Chinese, French and Spanish D. Chinese, German and Greek 5.What is the main idea of this passage? A. Chinese is becoming more popular in western countries. B. The benefits and advantages of growing up bilingual. C. Western worlds are paying more attention to learning foreign languages. D. The differences between bilingual education in Europe and USA.

Jerry was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant. The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation. Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, “I don’t get it! You can’t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?” Jerry replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself, ‘Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.’ I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life. The bottom line: It’s your choice how you live life.” I reflected on what Jerry said. Later, I left the restaurant industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life. Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gun point by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, he forgot the password, nervous. The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local hospital. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments（碎片） of the bullets still in his body. I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, “The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door,” Jerry replied. “Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die. I chose to live.” “Weren’t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?” I asked. Jerry continued, “The doctors and nurses were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. I knew I needed to take action.” “What did you do?” I asked. “Well, there was a big, strong nurse shouting questions at me,” said Jerry. “She asked if I was allergic (过敏的) to anything. “Yes,” I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, “Bullets!” Over their laughter, I told them. “I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.” Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. 1.The author left Jerry’s restaurant because he___________. A. wanted to start business on his own B. was afraid of another robbery later C. was not equal to the job any longer D. didn’t get along well with others 2.Why was Jerry shot? A. Because he left the back door open. B. Because he opened the safe too slowly. C. Because he pretended to forget the password. D. Because he didn’t open the safe in time. 3.What was Jerry really afraid in the emergency room? A. The doctors and nurses gave him up. B. He decided to take action to live again. C. He saw the expressions of the doctors and nurses. D. He might not be saved by doctors and nurses. 4.From the passage we can learn that Jerry was_________. A. No longer positive to his life after the operation B. optimistic even when things were at their worst C. Jerry influenced all his colleges in many ways D. Badly injured and stayed in hospital for six months 5.Which of the following is conveyed in this article? A. Where there is life, there is hope. B. Everything comes to him who waits. C. Humor is the best medicine that creates miracle. D. Attitude determines everything.

A 16-year-old boy finds himself on a boat in the Pacific Ocean after escaping a shipwreck(海难). Even worse, he is left with a huge tiger for company. But he manages to survive after 227 days of fighting against all the hardships of the sea. Pi, the lead character in Oscar-winning Ang Lee’s new movie Life of Pi, went through an inspiring journey of growth and self-discovery. So did 19-year-old Suraj Sharma, the Indian actor who plays him. But it was a lucky chance that opened up the opportunity for the new star. Sharma was a regular student who lived with his mathematician parents in Delhi, India. As the director traveled to Mumbai to find his Pi, the teenager went along with his younger brother, who had acted in a couple of movies, to audition(试镜). But little did Sharma know that he would end up winning the role from 3, 000 hopefuls. Lee said he saw Pi in Sharma: “Not only does he have a compelling and wise look. He has this rare talent.” The director said that in the final round, Sharma gave one of the “most compelling readings we had. In the end, he was in tears.” Understandably, Sharma didn’t want to let Lee down. “He (Lee) had given me this opportunity. I had to give it my best,” Sharma told the Philippine Daily Inquirer. Sharma swam for four or five hours a day until he was completely comfortable with the water. He also worked on his body because he had to first gain weight and then quickly lose weight as the story developed. He even had rats run all over him to prepare for his role. Lee was impressed by the teenager, especially his endurance and patience in staying in a water tank for many hours each day. Sharma was only 16 when Lee signed him. After three years of shooting, Sharma said he had matured with Pi’s journey. 1.What is the function of the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic of the passage. B. To appeal to readers to watch a movie. C. To attract readers to continue reading. D. To suggest the theme of this passage. 2.We can know from the passage that ________. A. Sharma wanted to become a mathematician B. Sharma had acted in a couple of movies C. Sharma was sure to win in the audition D. Many teenagers wanted to act the role Pi 3.What does the phrase “to let somebody down” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. To make somebody disappointed. B. To seat somebody down. C. To reject somebody’s requirement. D. To take down somebody’s information. 4.Which of the following words can be used to describe Sharma? A. Confident and passionate. B. Talented and diligent. C. Strong and courageous. D. Endurable and easily-excited. 5.The passage is intended to introduce ________. A. the thrilling escape from a shipwreck B. how an Oscar-winning movie attracts audience C. a young actor became matured when acting in a movie D. the difficulty in winning a role in a movie
