21. Once upon a time there was one storyteller. After getting tired of telling old fabricated stories, he left his house in search of a real life story.
He reached a village and took a cottage for rent. After wandering in the village throughout the month, in search of true stories, the storyteller couldn’t find one. Disappointed, he decided to stop his search. The next day, while sitting in the cottage, he suddenly heard a voice—a woman was yelling (吼叫) at someone. The voice was coming from the big wall behind his cottage.
He tried to hear the conversation; it sounded like the woman was abusing (辱骂) her daughter-in-law. The storyteller didn’t like it but he was happy to finally get his story.
Listening to the conversations each day he added them to his story. Though he couldn’t see the characters of his story, he started hating the mother-in-law, as she seemed to be a villain (坏人).
Now it was time to finalize the end of the story. But before he did, the storyteller wanted to see the characters once, so he climbed up the wall.
There he saw the mother-in-law sitting in a wheelchair. It seemed she was disabled and that the daughter-in-law was resting nearby. The old lady is trying to eat some food lying on the table near her chair. But because of her condition, she couldn’t reach it and it looked like the daughter-in-law was enjoying the old lady’s helplessness. Suddenly the old lady fell from the chair and started abusing her daughter-in-law.
The storyteller went back and quickly changed the ending of the story. He was surprised how different it was compared to what he originally thought it would be.
Truly he had found both a real life story and a real life lesson.

22. Who is there among us who hasn’t dreamed of having his or her own small （maybe , several years later） , even big business , and having wonderful freedom , both from a boss and from the time clock ; the freedom to make up our own rules for our work , and our own plans —arranging our own hours of work? That way work would be both painless and fun. Or, so we imagine.  
Well , in fact it isn’t quite as simple as that . Yes , it is true that being the boss has its satisfactions and that you can arrange your working hours freely if you own your own small business . But in those early years of starting your own business. you shouldn’t think of a free day , not to mention flying off for a month’s vacation . It is not unusual for new business owners to work seventy or eighty hours a week , and if there is a day off , that day might need to be devoted to accounting （算账）.  
But this negative picture doesn’t destroy the beautiful hopes. The possibility of getting something wonderful in return—both material and mental—continues to drive that large number of people who start up small businesses each year in the United States.

A．to rule others   B. to be his or her own boss   
C. to get a time clock           D. to be free from work
64．Most new business owners have to   ________      .  
A．work more than 10 hours a day     B．devote himself to accounting
C．fly to some places in the world      D．have a day off in a week
65．The expression “negative picture” most probably means “  ________        “.
