24.(8分)It’s a sadness shared by many business start-ups: why did my company fail, while so many others seem to be profiting from the “golden age of entrepreneurship (创业精神)”?
Some people argue that opportunities and good fortune are the secrets to success. But Innovation Works CEO Kaifu Lee believes that entrepreneurs need to have certain qualities to help them face the difficulties of starting a business. At a recent LinkedIn conference, Lee mentioned some of these qualities.
“Even though we’re now in a golden period for innovation and start-ups, not everyone is meant to be an entrepre- neur. Entrepreneurs share the same qualities — they are confident, communicative and focused. They don’t fear losing, and they are good at learning,”he said.
Lee explained that he often meets young people who are irresolute about setting up a business. “ If that’s the case for you then don’t do so,” he said at the conference. The bottom line, he said, is that entrepreneurs should be determined and passionate.
passion is vital to entrepreneurs since it typically relates to self-motivation, according to Li Jun, 26, founder of Wuhan Lushenglin Plant Wall Co Ltd. “Entrepreneurs often need to work around the clock. It’s easier for people to put up with the difficult schedule if they’re passionate about what they’re doing,” he said.
Entrepreneurs are also generally thought of as risk-takers. But Yu Xiuhong, general secretary of the Bright China foundation, warns that young entrepreneurs should not take too many risks. “Successful
entrepreneurs rarely take risks blindly or jump at opportunities others avoid. Before launching a business, it's advisable to do market research, evaluate yourself and your opponents,” she said.
Also she advises that young people thoroughly calculate their expenses in advance. Take Li Dongjin as an example, 35-year-old long-term entrepreneur disappeared a week ago after his O2O car washing company failed disastrously. He had gotten an initial investment of 5 million yuan but wasted it all on allowance and publicity.
1、Which of the following is not the quality of an entrepreneur according to Kaifu Lee? A.Confidence. B.Determination.
C.Leadership skill. D.Learning ability. 2、What did Li Jun say about entrepreneurs? A.They can’t be motivated without enthusiasm. B.They shouldn't complain about their tight .schedule. C.They should have an urge to improve themselves. D.They may suffer health problems due to heavy work loads.
3、What has the closest meaning with the underlined word “irresolute” in Paragraph 4? A.Delighted. B.Hesitant. C.Anxious. D.Sure.
4、What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A.Yu Xiuhong regrets jumping at opportunities before. B.Li Dongjin is a failure for lack of adventurous spirit. C.Li Dongjin shouldn’t have started a car washing company. D.Yu Xiuhong believes it a must to think twice before taking risks.
25. Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the (10分)right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you give up well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any prize. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into. 1、Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________. A.the reasons for success C.the importance of success
B.the standards of success D.what people think success is
2、Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ________. A.work makes one feel pain C.it takes a lot of time to succeed 3、What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A.Successful people like to show their great skills. B.People need to achieve success at the cost of life. C.People sometimes succeed without luck or talent. D.It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success. 4、What is the main theme of the passage? A.Luck, talent and family help to achieve success. B.One cannot succeed without time and practice. C.Having a goal is very important to success. D.Being good is different from being great.
