24、dered why some people are successful in business and others are not? Heres a story about one successful business person. He started out washing dishes and today he owns 168 restaurants. Zubair Kazi was born in Bhatkal, a small town in southwest India. His dream was to be an airplane pilot, and when
25、he was 16 years old, he learned to fly a small plane. At the age of 23 and with just a little money in his pocket, Mr. Kazi moved to the United States. He hoped to get a job in the airplane industry in California. Instead, he ended up working for a company that rented cars. While Mr. Kazi was workin
26、g at the car rental (租赁的 ) company, he frequently ate at a nearby KFC restaurant. To save money on food, he decided to get a job with KFC. For two months, he worked as a cooks assistant. His job was to clean the kitchen and help the cook. “I didnt like it,“ Mr. Kazi says, “but I always did the best
27、I could. “ One day, Mr. Kazis two co -workers failed to come to work. That day, Mr. Kazi did the work of all three people in the kitchen. This really impressed the owners of the restaurant. A few months later, the owners needed a manager for a new restaurant. They gave the job to Mr. Kazi. He worked
28、 hard as the manager and soon the restaurant was making a profit. A few years later, Mr. Kazi heard about a restaurant that was losing money. The restaurant was dirty inside and the food was terrible. Mr. Kazi borrowed money from a bank and bought the restaurant. For the first six months, Mr. Kazi w
29、orked in the restaurant from 8 a. m. to 10 p. m. , seven days a week. He and his wife cleaned up the restaurant, remodeled the front of the building, and improved the cooking. They also tried hard to please the customers. If someone had to wait more than ten minutes for their food, Mrs. Kazi gave th
30、em a free soda. Before long the restaurant was making a profit. A year later, Mr. Kazi sold his restaurant for a profit. With the money he earned, he bought three more restaurants that were losing money. Again, he cleaned them up, improved the food, and retrained the employees. Before long these res
31、taurants were making a profit, too. Today Mr. Kazi owns 168 restaurants, but he isnt planning to stop there. Hes looking for more poorly managed restaurants to buy. “I love it when I go to buy a restaurant and find its a mess,“ Mr. Kazi says. “The only way it can go is up. “ 31 When Mr. Kazi was you
32、ng, his dream was to_. （ A） be an airplane pilot （ B） sell cars （ C） own a restaurant （ D） become a good cook 32 Mr. Kazi decided to work with KFC to_ （ A） learn how to cook （ B） save money for a car （ C） save money on food （ D） learn how to run a restaurant 33 Mr. Kazi became the manager of a new r

34、ze for it 35 In the last paragraph, “its a mess“ means_. （ A） its small （ B） its dirty （ C） its profitable （ D） its cheap 35 Three Ways to Become More Creative Most people believe they dont have much imagination. They are wrong. Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget
35、 how to access it. Creativity isnt always connected with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! There are three techniqu
36、es to help you. This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles, l
37、ight, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original present; you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night. Imagine that normal limitations do
38、nt exist. You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new possibilities. If, for example, your goal is to learn to ski(滑雪 ), you can now practice skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you can p
39、ractice skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January. Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators (谈判者 ) use this technique in business, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books. They ask questions: what does this
40、character want? Why cant she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? What does she dream about? If your goal involves other people, put yourself “in their shoes“. The best fishermen think they are the fish! 36 According to the passage, when we become adults_. （ A） we can still lear
41、n to be more creative （ B） most of us are no longer creative （ C） we are not as imaginative as children （ D） we are unwilling to be creative 37 According to the first technique, if you need to solve a problem_. （ A） you could find an image and try to link it with the problem （ B） you should link it
42、with candles （ C） you have to think of buying a present for a friend （ D） you should link it with as many words as possible 38 The second technique suggests that you just imagine_. （ A） setting a goal is as simple as skiing （ B） you have every resource to achieve your goal （ C） new possibilities wil
43、l soon appear （ D） December and January are the best months for skiing 39 The phrase “put yourself in their shoes“ in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to （ A） dress yourself like them （ B） do as they ask you to （ C） think as they would （ D） put on their shoes 40 We learn from the third technique th
44、at a good salesman should ask himself: （ A） what do I usually do? （ B） what did my boss tell me to do? （ C） what are my customers needs? （ D） how should I sell my products? 40 The State of Marriage Today Is there something seriously wrong with marriage today? During the past 50 years, the rate of di
45、vorce in the United States has exploded: almost 50% of marriages end in divorce now, and the evidence suggests it is going to get worse. If this trend continues, it will lead to the breakup of the family, according to a spokesperson for the National Family Association. Some futurists predict that in
46、 100 years, the average American will marry at least four times, and extramarital(婚外的 ) affairs will be even more common than now. But what are the reasons for this, and is the picture really so gloomy (明暗的 ) ? The answer to the first question is really quite simple; marriage is no longer the necess
47、ity it once was. The institution of marriage has been based for years partly on economic need. Women used to be economically dependent on their husbands as they usually didnt have jobs outside the home. But with the rising number of women in well paying jobs, this is no longer the case, so they dont
48、 feel that they need to stay in a failing marriage. In answer to the second question, the outlook may not be as pessimistic (悲观的 ) as it seems. While the rate of divorce has risen, the rate of couples marrying has never actually fallen very much, so marriage is still quite popular. In addition to th
49、is, many couples now simply live together and dont bother to marry. These couples are effectively married, but they do not appear in either the marriage or divorce statistics. In fact, more than 50% of first marriages survive. So is marriage really an outdated institution? The fact that most people still get married indicates that it isnt. And it is also true that married couples have a healthier life than single people; t
