     Faced with a tough job market, fresh graduates are dreaming of running their own businesses instead.
     But a recent survey has showed that such desires lack the required support and remain just dreams.
     The Shanghai Municipal Employment Promotion Center poll of l,276 graduates in several universities
and colleges in the city, released last Friday, showed 60 percent of interviewees considered the possibility
of setting up a company or at least a small store. "But they just stop at the 'thinking' stage," it stated.
     Interviewees put the top reasons for not going it alone down to a shortage of money and a lack of
business opportunity.
     They also listed lack of business experiences and social networks, the need for advanced study and
objections from family members as factors that stood in their way.
     More than 90 percent of the interviewees said they would rather take up a job after graduating and then
consider starting their own business two or three years down the road.
     Guo Bing, a senior student in Shanghai International Studies University majoring in English, decided he
wanted to be his own boss last year.
     But he is looking for a job first. "If I fail to find a satisfying job, I would like to run a company in
exhibition services," Guo said.
     The Shanghai native has some relatives working in a local printing plant. With their help, Guo hopes to
produce exhibition brochures (资料手册) at a low price. He is also confident that his English language skills
can help him do well in the industry.
     Guo said that the shortage of graduate jobs is the main reason driving more university students to set up
a business right after their graduation.
1. Which factor contributes most to the interviewees "unrealized dreams"?
[     ]
A. a lack of business experience
B. a lack of social networks
C. objections from family members
D. a lack of money
2. What can help Guo Bing do well, if he runs a company in exhibition services?
[     ]
A. His parents' help
B. His strong will
C. His good command of English
D. His interview experience
3. How many of the interviewees in the survey would like to find a job first after graduation?
[     ]
A. over 1148.
B. over 128.
C. over 757.
D. over 510.
4. We definitely know from the passage that _____.

  David Beckham has rejected claims that England players are being greedy over their bonuses(奖金)for the World Cup, insisting the reports suggesting that each player would receive £300 000 for winning were wide of the mark

  “The truth is that we are earning less for this World Cup than we were for the last game, ” said the England skipper.Squad members stood in line to pocket £250 000 each for victory at the 2002 finals.

  “I know for a fact that every one of the players in our team would play for our country for nothing and so would the other players.We don’t go into a game thinking we can make money for winning.There is too much pride and excitement in our team to even suggest that.”

  There is money I football and we talk about bonuses every time a big competition comes around-and-there is always criticism of the players when bonuses are agreed.But money isn’t the motivation(动力)-not at all.When you are a 15-year-old watching the World Cup, you don’t dream of playing in it because you can make loads of money.Players don’t think like that;you want to be there to play on that stage.

  “The FA makes money and the players always get bonuses; that is a fact.And if we do not succeed then the money is not there.”
