    Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table, reading his book. His grandson admired him, trying to copy him in every way he could.

    One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I try to read the book just like you, but I don’t understand it, and I forget what I understand as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the book do?”

    The old man quietly turning from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”

    The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandpa laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time.”

    This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned. Out of breath, he told his grandpa that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, so he went to get a bucket instead.

    The grandpa said, “I don’t want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough.”

    The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandpa the basket was empty again. Out of breath, he said, “Grandpa, it’s useless!”

    “So, you think it is useless? the grandpa said, “Look at the basket.”

    The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean.

    “Grandson, that’s what happens when you read the book. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you’ll be changed, inside and out.”

    1.What puzzled the grandson most was ________.

    A. why he forgot what he read soon

    B. whether it was useful to read books

    C. what kind of book he could understand

    D. how he could read books like his grandpa

    2. Why did Grandpa ask his grandson to fetch a basket of water?

    A. To train him to run faster.

    B. To clean the dirty basket in the river.

    C. To punish him for not reading carefully.

    D. To get him to realize the use of reading books.

    3.What lesson can we learn from the story?

    A. The old are always wiser than the young.

    B. It is foolish to carry water with a basket.

    C. Reading books can change a person gradually.

    D. You can’t expect to remember whatever you read.

    Public Speaking Training

    ·Get a coach

    1. , so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that’s right for you.

    ·Focus on positives

    Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence (信心) more than being told that you aren’t doing well. 2. , so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn’t do.

    ·3.

    If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it’s going to give you lots of dos and don’ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you’re going to be talking about. 4. . As far as we’re concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.

    ·You are a special person not a clone

    Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. 5. . Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you’re not.

    A. So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse

    B. You aren’t like anybody else

    C. Whatever the presentation, public speaking is challenging

    D. Turn your back on too many rules

    E. The one thing you don’t want is for them to fall asleep

    F. Check the rules about dos and don’ts

    G. You already do lots of things well

    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?
