More and more young people realize that entrepreneurship can give them opportunities unlike any other career path. With colleges and universities offering classes and majors in entrepreneurship, and unemployment high in most countries of the world, the number of people who plan to work for themselves is growing. If you're planning to launch a start-up, here are four things everyone should do from the beginning: Be confident and keep your focus Proper confidence can help you recognize obvious problems and develop your abilities. You may have hundreds of exciting ideas, but successful entrepreneurs stick with a single super idea. Learn to delegate Once you have a good team, hand off responsibilities. Your staff will gain experience and you can continue to develop your business. Network You've heard this a thousand times: join groups, volunteer, use social media, ask every- one for referrals (转送), never turn down a meeting. No matter how long you've been in business, this never goes away. Dress the part You may feel most comfortable in your jeans and T-shirt, just like Steve Jobs. But you can't assume that your clients—real or potential—will understand. A universal rule in business is to wear the clothes for your ideal position.

Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 1 to 5. Leisure sickness is one of those modem conditions. How do you know if you have been struck down with leisure sickness? Were you struck down by some mystery illness just before setting off on a two-week holiday? If it is really the case, chances are you have leisure sickness. A Dutch psychologist (荷兰心学家) identified the condition. He started researching the subject after he became curious about his own pattern of illness. "If I am ill, then it's at the weekend or at Christmas. Then I heard stories from friends who all said the same thing." He surveyed around 2 000 men and women and estimated that about 3% of the population may suffer from weekend or vacation sickness. In a further in-depth study of 114 Dutch sufferers, he found that the most frequently reported symptoms included headaches, fatigue, muscular (肌肉) pain and, particularly in relation to vacation. Most of them had been suffering from leisure sickness for over 10 years and associated the beginning of the illness with a major life event, such as marriage, birth of a first child or a change of job. Many shared certain characteristics--a high workload, perfectionism (追求完美), eagerness to achieve and an over- developed sense of responsibility, making it difficult for them to switch off outside of work. According to him, there are a number of possible explanations for the condition. "One possibility is a kind of competition between information from the outside world -- external information -- and information from the body-internal information."

The answers (in no more than 3 words) should be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet. Does your job make the world a better of worse place? Those who sell hamburgers or polluting fuels may not love their jobs. Some of us even think our jobs damage human beings. New York Times recently cited a survey on how meaningful people regarded their jobs. It was conducted by Payscale, an online salary, benefit information company, in the US. The survey was based on data collected from 30,000 workers over the last year. Respondents gave their opinion about whether their jobs "make the world a better place". Results show only about 1 percent of respondents believed their job "may make the world a worse place." Then the article listed the occupations that make into the 1 percent, which may surprise readers. Payscale first sorted answers by job titles. Top of this list are fast-food workers. Perhaps they're concerned about the health hazards brought by the high-fat foods that they've sold. Then came bartenders (酒保), who serve alcohol that might get people drunk or addicted. In finance, both investment and the personal banks are made into the list. This accords with the average person's notion that greedy bankers are responsible for our misery. The legal profession is also high on the list of those who make the world a worse place. Payscale also sorted people by different industries. It turned out those working in tobacco, gambling and gasoline sectors top this list of those who think their jobs hurt the planet.

2. What is the purpose of a survey by Payscale in the US? Its purpose is to investigate which jobs make the world a better place or a ______.
worse place
[解析] 美国Payscale调查的目的是什么? 此题没有现成的答案可找,测试答题人的灵活性。文章第四段最后一句有和题干中相同的文字whether their jobs make the world a better place,题干紧接着用了一个表示选择的连词or。由此推测,or后面填写和better place相反意思的文字。
3. Who is on top of the list of jobs making the world a worse place? ______ are on the top of the list.
Fast-food workers
[解析] 什么职业位列使世界变糟的职业之首? 文章第六段阐述了快餐工人位列这种职业之首。
4. Which job ranks the second that makes the world worse? ______.
Alcohol selling/serving
[解析] 哪个职业位于使世界变糟职业的第二位? 文章第七段有答案:酒保,即卖酒这一职业。
5. What kind of jobs are among the planet-hurting jobs? Those jobs relating to ______, etc.
