Interview with Allan Gray1. I was working for a multinational company in the early 1980s,and my brother asked me if I was interested in going into partnership with him to set up a language school.I'd always wanted to work for myself,and I was a bit fed up with working for someone else,so I said yes.Primarily, I wanted the freedom to make my own decisions,I wanted room to be creative,and also I wanted to be able to get the credit and keep the profits if we were successful.I was also happy to carry the can and take the blame if things went wrong.These things are not possible if you work as an employee in a large organization.2. I had to borrow money to help start the business,but we were lucky because we also had some outside capital to put into the business.These days it can be really hard to persuade banks to lend money to people who want to start a company,so we were fortunate .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,all our preconceptions(预想)about what it would be like to run a business were wrong. We made lots of mistakes, and we almost went bankrupt(破产的)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 was saying,we nearly went out of business.It took quite a long time to start making profit. The best thing we did,though,was that we hired some really good people to work for us.In fact,some of those people are still work-ing for us,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 cashflow problems-it often takes a long time to get paid by your customers.The second big prob- lem is marketing. It takes a lot of funds to market your business,and you have to get your name known and build a reputation .But the biggest challenge is managing the people.All businesses are about people,and you have to learn how to deal with all kinds of people-and I think we've been extremely good at getting the best of our staff. The difficult thing to start a business is to persuade banks______.A: to lose your houseB: to manage your employeesC: to keep independentD: to lend you moneyE: to take the responsibility for itF: to make profit答案:D解析:本段主要讲述作者答应哥哥合伙创建语言学校并为自己工作的种种原因。因此F 项是本段大意。 本段主要讲述的是自己开业遇到的种种困难,跟预想的大相径庭,犯了许多错误,差点破产,并且只招到两个学生。因此E项是本段大意。 本段主要讲成功之前花费的时间,前四年一直亏损,甚至差点破产。故本题选C。 本段主要讲在经营学校的过程中遇到的挑战。故本题选D。 根据第一段的“I was also happy to carry the can and take the blame if things went wrong.”可知,如果你做出错误决定,你就必须为其承担责任。故选E。 根据第二段“These days it can be really hard to persuade banks to lend money to people who want to start a company...”可知,困难是劝银行把钱借出来。 从第三段可知,作者招到了很好的员工为其工作,并因此获得盈利。故本题选F。 第四段讲述了三个挑战:资金约束、经营、管理员工。故本题选B。

I had only been on Facebook for one day.I just typed Dawn's name in and I hoped for the best.It was a bit scary when I contacted her. I thought she might be married and would have a dozen kids."5.The couple met up again on New Year's Eve 2008 and were amazed to discover the intervening years had been kind to each other."It was a real shock,"Mrs.Pitman said,"We both saw each other and he was exactly the same as I remember and that's what he said about me.He hadn't changed a bit.I knew then he was the one for me."6.Mr. Eaton added:"We just knew instantly as soon as we met up again.We didn't even have to discuss it or propose.When we knew each other all those years ago,I was a white van man and Dawn had a sports car. I still got a white van and Dawn still has a sports car. Some things never change.She always said that we would see each other again.I just didn't think it would be 27 years."The couple are due to get married in Exmouth on March 20.Mr. Eaton joined social networking website Facebook,where he saw some pictures of Ms.Pit-man on holiday and______.A:got in touchB:an invasion of privacyC:too young to settle downD:her candlesE:met upF: all those years ago答案:A解析:本题考查的是对所读材料大意与主旨的掌握。本段的中心意思是这对恋人昔日的交往。本题考查的是对所读材料大意与主旨的掌握。本段的中心意思是他们如何找到对方。本题考查的是对所读材料大意与主旨的掌握。本段的中心意思是2008年27年后的重逢。本题考查的是对所读材料大意与主旨的掌握。本段的中心意思是幸福的结局。本题考查的是对阐述文章主旨的事实与细节的了解。依据是第二段中"The couple enjoyed an 18-month romance before going their separate ways because Ms.Pitman,then 21,thought she was too young to settle down”。本题考查的是对阐述文章主旨的事实与细节的了解。依据是第三段中"Mr.Eaton joined social networking website Facebook,where he saw some pictures of Ms.Pitman on holiday and got in touch”。本题考查的是对阐述文章主旨的事实与细节的了解。依据是第三段中"The irony was that I told her to put them off because I felt it was an invasion of privacy and she said she would get them around to it when she had time”。本题考查的是对阐述文章主旨的事实与细节的了解。依据是文章第四段中“He's the same old laid back,easygoing Paul I knew all those years ago”。
