While you may think that being smart and talented would logically make someone successful in running a business, unfortunately, this is often not the case.
This problem starts back in school when the stressful “group projects” are first assigned .The smartest don’t want to risk their grade in the class by dividing the work equally and hoping that an average student does his part well. They just take over and do the whole project themselves.
And thus begins the smart-people work cycle. The smartest people do just about everything better than most everyone else until it comes to running a business. They are not better; they are screwed(束缚). A smart person who can’t stand someone else doing a job badly does everything himself. Then, he is stuck with the one-man band “job-business” and ends up not being able to grow. However, it is quite interesting and strange that some slackers(偷懒的人) are better suited to be a business leader than the “smart” people. They figured out early on to surround themselves with smart people who would do the work that they themselves don’t want to do.
Smart and talented people often have a gift for the unusual, complicated or different. They don’t like to follow the KISS principle (keep it simple, stupid), which is required to make a business succeed. Maybe you think the global presence of McDonald’s complex, but in fact, in the company, every single task is broken down into easy-to-follow steps and everything has been standardized. These successful companies have just a few smart enough people to run the majority of the tasks in a way that can’t be screwed up by their average employees. So, being smart or talented isn’t going to help you unless you can use your talent to figure out a way to simplify those tasks that will make a business successful.
Another issue with the smart people starting businesses is that they often have the most to lose. The smarter you are, the more choices you have available to you. You will be able to make a lot of money in various fields and have room in your career to become promoted. This means that when you start a business, you have a lot more to risk than those who are not equally smart. This is often referred to as the “golden handcuffs” dilemma.
So, don’t be surprised when the person “MOST Likely to Succeed” from high school ends up as an employee and it is one average student that finds success in his or her own business.
1.In group work, smart students often take over the whole project because they believe ______.
A. the work is not divided equally
B. they can perform better than others
C. the group projects are too stressful
D. average students are unwilling to take part
2.McDonald’s is used as an example to prove that ______.
A. a business calls for smart people’s talent
B. average employees can perform complex tasks
C. smart people are important for a successful business
D. simplified tasks are required for the success of a business
3.The underlined expression in Paragraph 5 refers to the situation where smart people ______.
A. have fewer choices in a company
B. risk more when starting business
C. are unwilling to put money to a business
D. can have a good income in many different fields
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A. Potentials for Success
B. Bases for Business
C. The Ordinary Achieve Bigger Success?
D. Talent Means Successful Business?

According to figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS)，the U．K．has about 7．7 million families with dependent children，of which 3．7 million have just one child，compared to 3 million with two and 1．1 million with three children or more．The number of families today with just one dependent child is now 47 percent and will likely rise to more than 50 percent in a decade．As the ONS confirms，“It appears that families are getting smaller．”
One obvious reason for this could be that women are putting off having children until they have established careers when they are bound to be less fertile．But it could just as well be a matter of choice．Parents must consider the rising cost of living，combined with economic uncertainty and an increasingly difficult job market．And this trend may continue growing as having an only child becomes more normal，which seems to be the mood on the mothers’ online forum Mumsnet，where one member announced that she “just wanted to start a positive thread about how fab it is to have an only child”．
She had received 231 replies，overwhelmingly in the same upbeat spirit．Parents of only children insist there are plenty of benefits．Nicola Kelly，a writer and lecturer who grew up as an only child and is now a married mother of one，says her 15 year old son seems more grown up in many ways than his contemporaries．
Not all products of single child families are as keen to repeat the experience．In a moving recent account journalist Janice Turner wrote about her own keenness to “squeeze out two sons just 22 months apart”as a reaction to her only child upbringing．
She was placed on a pedestal by her doting parents，whom she punished with a “brattish，wilful” rejection of everything they stood for．Desperate for a close friend she was repeatedly shattered by rejection and refers to her childhood as being “misery”．
Writer and clinician Dr．Dorothy Rowe，a member of the British Psychological Society，says that we all interpret events in our own individual way and there are some children who no matter what their circumstances feel slighted，while other children see the advantages of their situation．
However，the one part of life that is unlikely to get any easier for only children is when they grow up and find themselves looking after their own parents as they become older．
1.The passage is written with the purpose of ________．
A． illustrating the strength and weakness of having an only child
B． analyzing the reasons why having an only child becomes popular
C． presenting us with different opinions about having an only child
D． guiding people to look at the same issue from different perspectives
2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean？
A． Nearly half of families intend to have just one child．
B． All people don’t stand for the idea of having an only child．
C． Some people fail to recognize the advantage of having an only child．
D． People brought up in an only child family resist downsizing the family．
3.From what Dr．Dorothy Rowe said，we know that ________．
A． journalist Janice Turner experienced a miserable childhood
B． she has a positive attitude towards Janice Turner’s reaction
C． it’s necessary for us to look at the event from our own angle
D． some are unable to make an objective assessment of their conditions
4.What can be inferred from the passage？
A． It’s normal to see the imperfection in character in only children．
B． Mumsnet is an online forum which promotes having an only child．
C． Economic development plays a determining role in the family size．
D． Only children will have difficulty in attending to their parents．
