Interview with Allan Gray
1 I was working for a multinational company in the early 1980s, and mybrother asked me if I was interested in going into partnership with him to setup a language school. I’d always wanted to work for myself, and I was a bit fedup with working for someone else, so I said yes. Primarily, I wanted thefreedom to make my own decisions, I wanted room to be creative, and also Iwanted to be able to get the credit and keep the profits if things went wrong.These things are not possible if you work as an employee in a largeorganization.
2 I had to borrow money to help start the business, but we were luckybecause we also had some outside capital to put into the business. These daysit can be really hard to persuade banks to lend money to people who want tostart a company, so we were fortune. It was fairly easy to set up the business,because we had a very clear idea of what we wanted to do. The problem was, allour preconception(预想)about what it would be like to run a business were wrong. We made lots ofmistakes, and we almost went bankrupt(破产) at the beginning. At one point, we only had two students in the school.
3 Far too long! We lost money for the first four years and, as I wassaying, we nearly went out of business. It took quite a long time to startmaking profit. The best thing we did, though, was that we hired some reallygood people to work for us. In fact, some of those people are still working forus, 24 years later. Now we’re doing well, but it was very risky at first.
4 One is financial constraint(约束). It can be very tough. I think all small businesses have cashflowproblems——it often takes a long time to get paid by your customers. The secondbig problem is marketing. It takes a lot of funds to market your business, andyou have to get your name known and build a reputation. But the biggestchallenge is managing the people. All businesses are about people, and you haveto learn how to deal with all kinds of people——and I think we’ve been extremelygood at getting the best of our staff.
A. Strategies in expanding a small business
B. Right people to run a business
C. Time-consuming experience of being successful
D. Challenges of running a business
E. Difficulties in starting the business
F. Reasons for working for oneself
23. Paragraph 1 __F __
24. Paragraph 2 __E __
25. Paragraph 3 __ C__
26. Paragraph 4 __D __
A. to lose your house
B. to manage your employees
C. to keep independent
D. to lend you money
E. to take the responsibility for it
F. to make profit
27. If you made a bad decision as a boss, you had ____E____.
28. The difficult thing to start a business is to persuade banks ____D____.
29. If you hire the right people, you’ll probably be able _____F___.
30. Besides financial and marketing challenges, you must know how ____B____.
第四部分:阅读理解(第30~45题,每题3分,共45分)
下面有3篇短文,每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容,为每题拟定1个最佳选项。
第一篇:
Why Buy Shade-Grown Coffee?
When people argue about whethercoffee is good for health, they're usually thinking of the health of the coffeedrinker. Is it food for your heart? Does it increase blood pressure? Does ithelp you concentrate? However, coffee affects the health of the humanpopulation in other ways, too.
Traditionally, coffee bushes wereplanted under the canopy(树冠)of taller indigenous(土生土长旳)trees. However, more and more farmers in Latin America are deforestingthe land to grow full-sun coffees. At first, this increases production becausemore coffee bushes can be planted if there aren’t any trees. With increasedproduction come increased profits.
Unfortunately, deforesting forcoffee production immediately decreases local-wildlife habitat. Native birdsnest and hide from predators(捕食者)in the tall trees and migrating birds rest there.
Furthermore, in the long term, thefull-sun method also damages the ecosystem because more chemical fertilizersand pesticides are needed to grow the coffee. The fertilizers and pesticideskill insects that eat coffee plant, but then the birds eat the poisoned insectsand also die. T he chemicals kill or sicken other animals as well, and can evenenter the water that people will eventually drink.
Fortunately, farmers in Central andSouth America are beginning to grow more coffee bushes in the shade. We cansupport these farmers by buying coffee with such labels as "shadegrown" and "bird friendly." Sure, these varieties might cost alittle more. But we're paying for the health of the birds, the land, ourselves,and the planet. I think it's worth it.

TheValue of Tears
Tears can ruin make-up, bringconversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. They can leave youembarrassed and without energy. However, crying is a fact of life, and tearsare very useful. Even when you’re not crying, your eyes produce tears. Thesecreate a film over the eye's surface. This film contains a substance thatprotects your eyes against infection.
Tears relieve stress, but we tendto fight them for all sorts of reasons. "People worry about showing theiremotions. They’re afraid that once they lose control, they’ll never get itback,” explains psychologist Dorothy Rowe. “As children we were sometimespunished for shedding tears or expressing anger. As adults we still fear theconsequences of showing emotions.”
Almost any emotion—good or bad,happy or sad—can cause tears. Crying is a way that we release built-upemotions. Tears help you when you feel you are ready to explode because of verystrong feelings. It may explain why people who are afraid to cry often suffermore heart attacks than people who cry more freely.
When some people become verystressed, however, they can’t cry. They may be feeling shock, anger, fear, orgrief, but they repress(克制) the emotion. “Everyone has the need to cry,” says psychotherapist(精神治疗师)Vera Diamond. Sometimes in therapy sessions,patients participate in crying exercise. They practice crying so that they canget used to expressing emotion. Diamond says it’s best to cry in safe, privateplaces, like under the bedcovers or in the car. That’s because many people getuncomfortable when others cry in front of them. In fact, they may be repressingtheir own need to cry.
In certain situations, such as atwork, tears are not appropriate. It’s good to hold back tears during a tensebusiness discussion. “But once you are safely behind closed doors, don't justcry,” Diamond says, she suggests that you act out the whole situation again andbe as noisy and angry as you like. It will help you feel better. “And,” sheadds, “once your tears have released the stress, you can begin to think oflogical way to deal with the problem.”
Tears are a sign of our ability tofeel. You should never be afraid to cry.
41.The word “film” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.
A.door
B.point
C. coat
D.level
42.Crying is useful in that it________.
A.helps you not to explode
B.eases heart attacks
C.makes others comfortable
D. cleans you eyes
