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.

Steve, Adam, Jenny, Frank和Wendy就自己在学校或学习上遇到的困惑分别给Boy’s Life杂志写信,向编辑咨询。阅读下列编辑的回答(A、B、C、D、E和F)选出可以解答每个人疑问的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。

1.Steve: One of my friends is always copying me.It’s getting really annoying, and I don’t know what to do.Help!

2.Adam: I did badly in school, so my dad switched me to another school to help me.What can I do to stay out of trouble at my new school? My mouth got me in trouble in the first place.

3.Jenny: Some kids are making fun of me because I’m in honors math and read 800-page books.Isn’t that something to be proud of?

 

4.Frank: I have a problem: I can’t socialize.I’m really shy, and I’m already a freshman in high school.Can you help me, please?

5.Wendy: I always make honor roll, but I’m going to high school next year.How can I manage this: keep up my A’s and B’s, and at the same time, do other after class activities I’m interested in.

A

B

A wise man once said, “It’s better to do a few things well than a lot of things poorly.” As you make the transition to a tougher workload, focus on maintaining a balance of schoolwork, scouting, other activities, friends, family and just the games you are enjoying playing.You may always think of this: we can learn things not only in classes, but outside of classes.You’ll be happier, not to mention more successful at the things you like.

If you’re having trouble keeping up, ask your teachers if they can recommend someone to tutor you for an hour after school.I know it sounds like torture, but trust me.I was struggling through math and eventually my mum made me get a tutor.I was very angry.But it turned out that with the tutor’s help, I could get through my work in an hour instead of three hours at home.So after a few weeks, I caught up with the rest of the class.

C

D

You should be flattered—he looks up to you.But I understand; it’s completely up-setting.My little sister went through a stage in which she constantly bought the same exact clothes as me.But after a few months she turned to someone else.Wait it out for a while, and your friend will probably discover his own sense of style.Then let him know you think he’s cool, especially he does his own thing.Your comment will spare him embarrassment, boost his self-esteem and, ultimately, get him to stop cloning around.

You’re right.Intelligence is a quality that everyone wants, and as you get older it’s going to be what people love and respect about you.And yet, just as hyper-social people need to make time for schoolwork, you might benefit from a little balance as well.In addition to exercising your brain with classes and books, exercise your spirit with music, sports, Scouts or other activities.Bonus: Some of those kids who laughed at you might someday realize how cool you actually are and shut up.

E

F

The fact that you recognize what the problem is and want to fix it is fantastic.Avoid becoming a regular in the schoolmaster’s office, and make a good first impression in the new place.This doesn’t mean you have to be a top student.Jus do your work, speak up in class when the teacher asks a question and seek extra help if your grades start to slip.And stay involved in after-class activities so that you can keep yourself too busy to get into trouble and help you burn off some of the energy that tends to land you in hot water.

A teacher once gave me this great advice: Prepare a conversation in your head before going into an uncomfortable social situation.It sounds like a lot of work, but it’s easy – and it works! For example, if you know you’re hiking a certain mountain with Scouts this weekend, go online and Google the area you’re hiking.Find an interesting or funny fact or two and talk about them when your troop is climbing up the mountain.As for the “cool” kids, forget them.Coolness runs out after high school.

认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容回答问题。

         American pilot Frank Webb first flew a glider at the age of 14, made his first flight alone on his.16th birthday and got his commercial pilot's licensee (执照)on his 18th birthday.

         After serving in the US Navy for 20 years, being a Boeing flight instructor, and working with Alaska Airlines for more than three years, Webb signed a contract with Shenzhen Airlines last May to captain domestic routes in China.As an experienced pilot, he still feels the same nervousness as he felt on his first fight.

         Captain Webb said that the "Sept.11" incident did not have a direct influence on his decision to move to China to work."Safety is in fact tighter in the United States and I am not worried about a terrorist attack," he said."The main reason I came to China was that my children will have a chance to see the world and experience international living."

         Webb has not experienced any in-flight emergencies(紧急情况) during his term in China although he said the weather here was generally more changeable than in the United States."The weather changes tend to be great from north to south.We may be flying in a snow storm in Harbin, and then later that same day we may be flying through a tropical rain shower approaching Shenzhen," Webb said.

         While Webb had more flexibility(灵活性) to deal with the weather in the United States, he said air traffic control in China was more strict and allowed fewer deviations(偏离).

         Speaking of planes often being late in China, Webb said that in America, being late was one of the few things that would get him in trouble."In China, on the other hand, it seems there are many things that can get you in trouble with the boss, but being late is not one of them." Webb does everything in his power to keep his flights on schedule.

         "They provide really excellent service during flights.Western flight attendants just serve passengers.But the Chinese attendants will also check on the crew to see if we need anything," Webb said.

1.Why did Webb sign a contract with Shenzhen Airlines? (no more than 20 words)

2.What is "glider " (in Paragraph 1)? (no more than 5 words)

3.What in the flight Webb met in China increased his difficulty? (no more than 5 words)

4.Is Webb's flight often late? Why? (no more than 20 words)

5.What can you learn from Webb's words in the last paragraph? (no more than 10 words)
