When 7-year-old Warren Buffett said,“I will be the richest man one day,” his friends made fun of his “daydreaming”. But ever since then the little boy has set about learning how to make money by selling drinks, delivering newspapers and buying stocks. The American had already earned $9,000 (equal to $90,000 today) by the time he graduated from high school.
And this month the 78-year-old man, who earned his fortune by making a lot of sound investment in the stock market, took the place of Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, as the world’s richest man. Gates’ worth declined $1.5 billion to $55.5 billion in 33 days after the recent financial storm, according to Forbes Magazine.
Buffett, the only son of a stockbroker, was ready to think outside the box to develop his business from a very early age. At 8, he went to golf courses collecting and selling the used balls. At 11 when he sold soda pop door-to-door with a friend, the pair collected lids on streets to judge which flavor was the most popular.
As a paper boy during high school, Buffett delivered two competitor papers, so that even when customers canceled one of the subscriptions, he could still make a profit from the other. With his paper delivery savings, Buffett bought 162,000 square meters of farmland and collected rent. Young Buffett stepped into the stock market at 11 but earned only $5. The experience taught him one of the virtues in investing, patience.
After graduating from university, Buffett started his venture with stocks with his childhood earnings and money from friends. He researched the stocks and just bought those of solid companies that were undervalued and inexpensive at the time. By sticking to companies such as American Express and Coca-Cola, Buffett has become rich.
“Learning is important to Buffett’s success. He is a learning machine who can spend his entire day reading. He keeps learning from books, street smarts and investigation, from both success and failure. In this way, he over-achieved his aptitude (能力).” said Charlie Munger, his longtime business partner.
16. The passage is mainly about ___________.
A. why Buffett took the place of Bill Gates as the world’s richest man
B. what effect Buffett’s childhood experiences had on his success
C. how Buffett earned his fortune and achieved his aptitude
D. what Buffett dreamt about when he was a child
17. Which of the following is true about Buffett?
A. His worth is more than $ 55.5 billion now.
B. He is next to Bill Gates in wealth at the present time.
C He achieved great success on stepping into the stock market.
D He bought 162,000 square meters of farmland by selling soda pop.
18. How did Buffett behave at the stock market?
A. He often prefers some inexpensive stocks.
B. He will buy the stock whose price is lower than its value.
C. He always borrows money from his friends to buy stocks.
D. He will sell the stock if its price doesn’t go up.
19. Which is the main factor that determines Buffett’s success?
A. His education. B. His family background.
C. His desire to learn. D. His cooperation with his partner.
20. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Buffett is an immediate success in the stock market.
B. Buffett and Gates are business partners.
C. His father helped him a lot in his business.
D. Buffett has a good sense of business.

Compulsive（强迫的）shoppers may have a new psychological excuse to blame for their wild shopping. Psychologists at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand are studying the “shop-till-you-drop” habit as a behavioral disorder similar to compulsive eating. Compulsive shoppers frequently buy more than they can afford or more than they need, and it causes them distress(苦恼).
“It becomes a problem when you are out of control,” psychology lecturer Neville Blampied said. “When you are feeling bad and blue, what do you do? Some people eat chocolate cake and ice cream. Some people take the credit card and go out to the shop.” Bank managers understand the problem because they have to deal with people who have to be persuaded to stop using their cards drawing money.
Compulsive shopping was first discovered in 1915, although it was then known as monomania. Few studies have been done on the problem.
An advertisement in a Christchurch paper, calling for people to take part in an experimental treatment program designed by Mr. Wilson, attracted 10 replies. But the problem, said Mr. Wilson, is “clearly not rare”. He thinks that compulsive shopping should be treated with drugs. “As psychologists we are interested in non-drug treatments for behavioral difficulties,” Mr. Wilson said.
Compulsive eaters or shoppers get a kick from their habit. “Both activities provide an immediate kind of kick and you feel a bit better,” he said. “You have long-term problems, but human beings are extremely good at not seeing long-term problems and are very sensitive to short-term benefits,” he said.
The aim of the treatment was to help people find better ways of managing their emotions. The program, consisting of 10 one-hour weekly lessons and two follow-up treatments, is loosely based on teaching stress management.
“You often have to start to get people to correctly recognize their emotions. Not being able to know what you really feel weakens your ability to solve the problems connected with what’s making you feel that way,” Mr. Wilson said.
1.The compulsive shoppers will go shopping when ______.
|
A．they have lots of money |
B．they are taking drugs |
|
C．they are feeling sad |
D．they win a prize |
2.The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph most probably refers to __________.
|
A．compulsive eating |
B．a new psychological excuse |
|
C．the study done by Blampied |
D．the behavior of wild shopping |
3.Which of the following is considered important in treating compulsive shoppers?
|
A．Teaching them to manage their money better. |
|
B．Teaching them to understand their emotions. |
|
C．Persuading them not to draw money from the bank. |
|
D．Treating them with right drugs. |
4.When the writer says that compulsive shoppers get a kick from their habit, he means that they __________.
|
A．feel distressed after their wild shopping |
|
B．feel better after treatment from psychologists |
|
C．are better able to deal with stress problems |
|
D．have a feeling of excitement after shopping |

Arabs consider it extremely bad manners to start talking business immediately. Even the busiest government official always takes extra time to be polite and offer refreshments (茶点). No matter how busy you are, you should make time for this.
The conference visit is a way of doing business throughout the Arab world. Frequently, you will have to discuss your business in the presence of strangers, who may or may not have anything to do with your business. Do not be surprised if your meeting is interrupted several times by people who come into the room unannounced, whisper, or speak softly to the person with whom you are talking, and leave. Act as though you do not hear, and never show displeasure at being interrupted.
Making decisions quickly is not an Arab custom. There is a vagueness (模糊) in doing business in the Middle East which will puzzle a newcomer. Give yourself lots of time and ask lots of questions.
When an Arab says “yes”, he may mean “maybe”. When he says “maybe”, he probably means “no”. You will seldom get a direct “no” from an Arab because it is considered not polite. Instead of “no”, he will say “inshallah”, which means “if God is willing”. On the other hand, “yes” does not necessarily mean “yes”. A smile and a slow nod might be like an agreement but in fact your host is being polite. An Arab considers it rude to disagree with a guest.
1.The main purpose of this article is to explain _________________.
|
A．why you need extra time when you visit Arab countries |
|
B．how to be polite when doing business in the Arab world |
|
C．why Arab officials are so busy |
|
D．what Arabs say when doing business |
2.According to the article, which of the following would be considered polite?
|
A．You leave angrily because of interruptions. |
|
B．You demand an immediate decision. |
|
C．You refuse a cup of tea and show pictures of your product right away. |
|
D．You look out of the window while a stranger comes in to speak with your host. |
3.Which of the following is NOT an Arab custom?
|
A．To care less about being interrupted during their meeting. |
|
B．Often to give you a vague answer. |
|
C．Seldom to say “no” directly. |
|
D．Seldom to hesitate to start talking business in the presence of strangers. |
