         When I was a child I never said, "When I grow up, I want to be a CEO," but here I am. When I look
    back on my career, I realize the road to becoming a CEO isn't a straight, clearly clarified path. In fact, no
    two paths are the same. But whether you want to be a boss one day or not, there's a lot to learn from
    how leaders rise to the top of successful companies.
         As this series of stories shows, the paths to becoming a CEO may vary, but the people in that position
    share the qualities of commitment, work ethic (守则) and a strong desire for building something new. And every CEO take risks along the way - putting your life savings on the line to start a software company or
    leaving a big business to be one of the first employees at a startup.
         I grew up in Minnesota, and learned how to be an entrepreneur (企业家) from my father, who has
    run a small business for almost 30 years. I went to Georgetown University and tried a lot of business
    activities in college with varying degrees of success. And I always had a dream job pattern: to walk to
    work, work for myself and build something for consumers.
         I'm only 29, so it's been a quick ride to CEO．Out of college, I worked for AOL as a product
    manager, then moved to Revolution Health and ran the consumer product team. In mid-2007 I left
    Revolution Health and started LivingSocial with several other colleagues, where I became a CEO.
         Career advice: Don't figure out where you want to work, or even what industry you'd like to work at.
    Figure out what makes you do so. What gives you a really big rush? Answer why you like things, not
    what you like doing...and then apply it to your work life. Also, just because you're graduating, don't stop
    learning. Read more books than you did in college. If you do, and they're not, you're really well-positioned to succeed in whatever you do.
    1. What can we know from the first paragraph?
    A. The author hasn't achieved his childhood ambition.
    B. The author thinks there is some easy way to become a CEO.
    C. The author had an ambition of becoming a CEO in his childhood.
    D. The author believes success stories of CEOs can be beneficial to everybody.
    2. According to the author, successful CEOs should ________.
    A. try not to take risks
    B. stay in the same business
    C. have a strong sense of creativity
    D. save every possible penny
    3. What can we know about the author from the passage?
    A. He started LivingSocial when he was still a student of Georgetown University.
    B. His father had far-reaching influence on him.
    C. His business activities at college ended up in more failure than success.
    D. He used to run the consumer product team for AOL.

         One year ago today, seven patients shared their stories of illness and recovery on the New York Time Well
    (a blog), according to a report published in April,2009.
         They were the first Patient Voices, a regular series that offers a first person (第一人称的) description of
    the challenges patients face as they deal with different kinds of health problems. Since the first Patient Voices
    appeared, New York Times producer Karen Barrow has continued to give a voice to a lot of patient stories.
         We heard from Jacqueline Castine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich,who had bipolar disorder (躁郁症), and whose
    son also suffered from mental (精神的) illness."I could not save him," she said."I could not fix (惩罚 ) him.
    He leaves a beautiful daughter and a very sad mother."
         And there is runner Alyssa Johnson,43,who was training for the Boston Marathon in 2003 when she began
    showing the first signs of Parkinson's disease." Sometimes when I'm running I'll come to a long downhill, and
    my legs work the way they used to work and my arm swings (摆动) the way it used to. It's like running before Parkinson's, and that's the best feeling.
         And then there's the voice of Robin Grinsted, 50, of Swansea, S. C.,who has H. I. V. She is refused by her
    church and feels lonely."They're not accepting," she said." But I know there will be people putting their arms
    around me some day."
