David和几位同学正在进行一项“企业家成功秘诀调查”。他们将采访几位企业家。A-F是他们拟定的采访话题。阅读下面刊登在Entrepreneur(《企业家》)杂志上5位企业家的成功感言，为每位采访者选定最佳采访对象。(采访话题中有一项是多余选项)。

1.Sheri Poe

Ryka Inc.

Since I started this company in my kitchen seven years ago. I always dreamt of what it would be some day. Focusing on that goal helps me get through tough times. To get the kind of success that you want, you need to dream big. That’s the starting point. Every success story begins with big dreams. You need to have big dreams for yourself, like being somebody rich, famous or fulfilled. You need to have a clear goal of what you want to achieve.

Also, I think it’s really important that the people you’re working with are as committed to the same goal as you are, so you can support each other and keep each other dynamic.

2.Anita Roddick

The Body Shop Inc.

In America, we have a shop in Harlem where 50 percent of the profits go into the community development, and the other 50 percent go toward the funding of a similar shop elsewhere in the United States. The pride that shop brings to the staff and local people inspired me.

What The Body Shop does successfully is use our facilities in the street and shopping centers to talk about real human issues like AIDS, recycling, human rights, and community service or to encourage people to speak out against anything they consider to be unjust. Knowing our products are symbols of social change is really encouraging.

3.Richard Melman

Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises

A number of years ago, I was interviewed by someone who was writing a book on enterprises. He asked me, “What’s the opposite of work?” I answered, “Lazy.” He started laughing and said, “Believe it or not, a lot of entrepreneurs say the same thing.”

The average person thinks the opposite of work is play, but to an entrepreneur, work is play. I think it all adds up to having fun. It’s fun to create, it’s fun to entertain, and it’s fun to make people happy with our service. When it stops being fun, I’ll stop doing it.

4.Frank Toskan

Make-Up Art Cosmeties (M.A.C)

One of the nicest things anyone ever said to me was, “I hate makeup, but I love M.A.C.” That’s what moves me on. Even people who don’t wear makeup can appreciate our company, what it stands for, its values, and the way we do business.

We work from an inverted (颠倒的) pyramid, where the customers are always at the top. Our customers inspire me and keep me going. They and our staff, not money, make me enthusiastic. If I had stayed in this business just for the money, I would have closed down years ago.

5.Kenneth Cole

Kenneth Cole Productions Inc.

You can’t be everything to everybody. Each of us has our own strengths and weaknesses. To be effective, you need to identify your strengths and concentrate on them. You’ll become more successful if you are able to channel your efforts to areas that you do best. In business, for example, if you know you are good at marketing, then give it full play. Seek help or assistance in areas that you may be poor at, such as accounting or bookkeeping. To turn your weakness into strength, consider taking hands-on learning or training.

阅读下面文字，完成下列各题。

鼎在中国由来已久。它最初是古代的烹饪之器，相当于现在的锅，用以炖煮和盛放食品。鼎有三足圆鼎，也有四足方鼎。最早的鼎是粘土烧制的陶鼎，后来又发展为用青铜铸造的铜鼎。传说夏禹曾收九牧之金铸九鼎于荆山之下，以象征九州。自从有了禹铸九鼎的传说，鼎就从一般的炊器演变为传国的重器了。国灭则鼎迁，夏朝灭，商朝兴，九鼎迁于商都亳京；商朝灭，周朝兴，九鼎又迁于周都镐京。从商至周，都把定都或建立王朝称为“定鼎”。 

鼎自从被视为传国重器、国家和权力的象征后，“鼎”字也被赋予了显赫、尊贵、盛大等政治引申意义。譬如一言九鼎、大名鼎鼎、三足鼎立等等。鼎是我国青铜文化的代表。它既是文明的见证，又是文化的载体。根据禹铸九鼎的传说，可以推想，我国早在4000多年前就有了青铜冶炼和铸造技术。

中国历史博物馆收藏的“司母戊”大方鼎就是商代晚期的青铜鼎，它呈长方形、四足，是我国现存最大的商代青铜器。鼎腹内有“司母戊”三字，是商王为祭祀其母戊而铸造的。清代出土的大盂鼎、大克鼎等都是西周时期的著名青铜器。鼎和其它青铜器上的铭文，记载了商周时代的典章制度和册封、祭祀、征伐等史实，而且还把西周时期的大篆文字传给了后世，形成了具有很高审美价值的金文书法艺术，鼎也因此更加身价不凡。

美学家李泽厚认为，中国青铜器以其特有的三足器——鼎为主要代表，器制沉雄厚实，纹饰狞厉神秘，刻镂深重凸出，是我国青铜冶炼和铸造技术最具审美价值的工艺品。现代汉字中的“鼎”字，虽然经过了甲骨文、金文、小篆、隶书等多次变化，但仍然保留着“鼎”这一事物的风范和形体特点，其物其字几乎融为一体，都有着丰富的文化内涵。鼎又是旌功记绩的礼器。周代的国君或王公大臣在重大庆典或接受赏赐时都要铸鼎，以记载盛况。这种礼俗在我国已传承至今。

由于自古以来，鼎就是我国一种庄严的重要礼器，象征着祖国昌盛、稳固、团结、统一

和权威，亦是和平、发展、昌盛的吉祥物代表，故在当今一些重大外交场合和国家的一些

重大政治活动中，都会由鼎来唱主角。

上世纪1995年10月2l日，在联合国总部纽约，为庆贺联合国50华诞，我国政府向联合国赠送一尊青铜巨鼎——世纪宝鼎。该“世纪宝鼎”是具有我国商周青铜工艺风格的艺术精品，采用整体铸造，一次浇注成功。鼎身高2．1米，象征2l世纪。姿呈三足鼎立，双耳高耸，满身纹饰。有金文：“铸赠世纪宝鼎，庆贺联合国五十华诞。”鼎底座高0．5米，2米见方，上铸56条夔龙纹饰，象征中华民族都是龙的传人。鼎的整个造型，雄伟祥和，气势宏大，古朴典雅，美观庄重。   

2006年1月1日，我国以法律形式规定免征在我国已征收了2600年的农业税。同年9月29日，河北省灵寿县青廉村农民王三妮的一尊“告别田赋鼎”问世了。这是一位普通农民用中华民族最古老、最庄重的方式来铭记这一千古盛事。

下列对“鼎”的说明，不正确的一项是（    ）

A．鼎最初是古代的烹饪之器，后演变为国家和权力的象征。

B．鼎最早是用粘土烧制，叫陶鼎，大约在4000多年前发展为用青铜铸造的铜鼎。

C．鼎是我国青铜文化的代表，它既见证了中华古代文明，又传承了中华悠久文化。

D．鼎作为传国重器，是和平、发展、昌盛的吉祥物代表。

下列各项中不能表明“鼎是一种重要礼器”的一项是（    ）

A．商灭夏，九鼎迁于商都亳京；周灭商，九鼎又迁于周都镐京。

B．周代的国君或王公大臣在重大庆典或接受赏赐时都要铸鼎，以记载盛况。

C．我国政府向联合国赠送了“世纪宝鼎”，庆贺联合国50华诞。

D．河北省灵寿县农民王三妮铸“告别田赋鼎”，铭记我国免征农业税这一盛事。

下列表述符合原文意思的一项是（    ）

A．商周时代青铜器上的大篆铭文记载了当时的典章制度史实，形成了具有很高审美价值的金文书法艺术。

B．“司母戊”大方鼎是我国现存最大的商代青铜器，鼎腹内有“司母戊”三字，表明是商王为祭祀其母戊而造。

C．李泽厚认为，鼎以其器制沉雄厚实，纹饰狞厉神秘，刻镂深重凸出，成为我国最具审美价值的青铜工艺品。   

D．“世纪宝鼎”是体现我国商周青铜工艺风格的艺术精品，其夔龙纹饰、三足鼎立造型均有丰富的文化内涵和象征意义。
