Nowadays, though, its quite common to become your own boss. Lets say you have an idea. Maybe you want to open an English school or sell Japanese comics. First, you need a business plan. It sets out what youll sell and how much everything will cost. Most businesses that fail didnt have this. If you need to borrow money at the start, banks will ask for a detailed plan.The best starting place for a business plan is the 4Ps: product, place, price and promotion. All these must be strong to be successful.ProductYour product must have something unique. What makes it special compared to other similar products? If you want to start a noodle shop that has nothing new, dont expect people to show much interest. You can research your product. For food, let people try it for free. For toys, let a few children play with them to see if they like them.PlaceTheres no point having a product that people want to buy if your shop is in an empty mall. Think about which type of person is going to buy what you sell. Where do they usually go shopping? When looking at possible places, spend the day there. See how many people pass by. Also, are there other shops nearby selling similar products? If so, how can you be better than them?PriceWork out how much it costs to make or provide your product. As a general rule, your price will be double the cost. After all, youre also paying for rent, staff and you need to eat too!Promotion How can you attract people to your shop? Advertising in newspapers and on TV is expensive. Perhaps you can get free advertising by getting a newspaper to write about your business.21. According to the author, the reason why most businesses fail is due to lack of _.A. a business plan B. a shop C. money D. successful businessmen22. If you want to start a noodle shop, you should _.A. expect people to show much interestB. research your noodlesC. let people try it at a low priceD. let children have a try23. What does “If so” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. There are shops selling the goods like yours.B. Many people pass by.C. You should think about which type of person is going to buy what you sell.D. You should spend the day on possible places.24. You are selling toys to children. It costs 5 yuan to make each one. How much should you charge the children for each toy?A. 15 yuan.B. 5 yuan.C. 10 yuan.D. 50 yuan.BAngela Chang didnt know it would be so hard to turn her singing hobby into a career. Her agent used to take her to lots of auditions（试唱）at different recording studios but the Taiwanese girl was always turned down for looking too young and small.Chang s talent was finally recognized in 2002 by the Decca Record Company. When she was offered a contract she burst into tears. Two years later Chang, 21, is a star. With the release of her debut album “Over the Rainbow” this year, she won the “Most Promising New Artist in Taiwan” at the CCTV-MTV Music Awards in July. In September she won the “Best New Artist” in the Fourth Chinese Music Billboard Awards.“You just cant believe that such an amazingly powerful voice comes from such a small body,” said musicians after hearing Chang sing “Over the Rainbow.” “Its such a special voice. You cannot forget it.” Chang can hit very high motes（高音）clearly and beautifully.Her tunes make Chang stand out from the numerous newcomers in the music world. But mainland fans also know her for her girl-next-door performances in Taiwanese TV dramas, “My MVP Valentine” and “At Dolphin Bay”.But few people know that while filming her first TV series, Chang acted so badly that the director wanted to fire her. At one time it took her a record of 27 attempts to shoot one scene.“I cried my heart out when I went back home.” Change said, “But I know that defeat is often a temporary condition. By giving up you remain defeated.” Though she looks very girlish, Chang said she has a boys personality. “The way I release pressure is to have a sound sleep. When I wake up, everything is new.”25The first paragraph mainly tells us .AChangs hard way to success BChangs appearanceCChang was looked down upon DChang has no talent in singing26When Changs talent was recognized, she .Afelt doubtful Bwas too astonishedCwas full of sadness Dwas mixed with various feelings27What musicians said shows .AChang has a common voice BChang isnt suitable to singCthey think highly of Chang Dthey will give Chang some directionC“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friends email, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting. I was too thrilled to believe her. Her words could not convince me at all. So I did a research on google.com. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see.” This sentence has been widely used in emails, letters, newspapers, movies, books, or any other possible places. Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily. Ironically, if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chans movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a worldwide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. “Long time no see” was his trademark. Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies. Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of stew. All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together, and they change the color and taste of each other. American Chinese, though a minority ethnic(少数民族的成员) group in the United States, is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew.You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese, such as pizza from Italian, susi from Japanese, and dj vu from French etc. There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from others. They will modify it and make it their own, so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant, or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store. Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future. In this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor.28. The writer himself felt surprised at _. A. the Chinglish expression “Long time no see” B. “Long time no see” used as standard American EnglishC. so many literal translation of the expressions used in AmericaD. finding out Americans use the expression every day29. According to the passage, it can be inferred that _.A. detectives translate the phrase “Long time no see”B. Hollywood made “Long time no see” popularC. the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languagesD. cultures can be changed in the huge pot of stew30. The main idea of the passage is that _.A. some Chinese expressions are introduced into EnglishB. youll not be surprised at a tofu in a restaurant in AmericaC. some American expressions can be used in ChinaD. American English keep being enriched from different cultures31. According to the passage, which of the following statements is not true?A. Informal language sometimes doesnt go with grammar and structure.B. Languages are always ruled by grammar and structure.C. “Long time no see” has been used in at least four media mentioned in the passage.D. There are four languages mentioned to be adopted in the American stew. DYou have probably heard of the Mozart effect. Its the idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed by Mozart, they will become more intelligent. A quick Internet search reveals plenty of products to assist you in the task. Whatever your age there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozarts music, but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever, the picture is more mixed.The phrase “the Mozart effect” was made up in 1991, but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature that sparked real media and public interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehow improves the brain. It is one of those ideas that sound reasonable. Mozart was undoubtedly a genius himself; his music is complex and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it, well become more intelligent.The idea took off, with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children, and in 1998 Zell Miller, the Governor of the state of Georgia in the US, even asked for money to be set aside in the state budget so that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music. It was not just babies and children who were exposed to Mozarts music on purpose, even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a day to help them to produce better milk.Ill leave the debate on the impact on milk yield to farmers, but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent? More research was carried out but an analysis of sixteen different studies confirmed that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally, but the benefits are short-lived and it doesnt make us more intelligent.32. What can we learn from paragraph 1?A. Mozart composed many musical pieces for children.B. Children listening to Mozart will be more intelligent.C. There are few products on the Internet about Mozarts music.D. There is little scientific evidence to support Mozart effect.33. Why did many people believe in the idea of Mozart Effect?A. Because a study described it in the journal Nature.B. Because Mozart himself was a genius.C. Because Mozarts music is enjoyable.D. Because Mozarts music makes people relaxed.34. The underlined sentence in paragraph3 suggests that .A. people were strongly against the ideaB. the idea was accepted by many peopleC. Mozart played an important part in peoples lifeD. the US government helped promote the idea35. What is the authors attitude towards the Mozart effect?A. FavorableB. ObjectiveC. DoubtfulD.
