How to Be a Successful Businessperson
Have
you
ever
wondered
why
some
people
are
successful
in
business
and
others
are
not?
Here's a story about one successful businessperson. He started out washing dishes and today he
owns 168 restaurants.
Zubair -Kazi was born in Bhatkal, a small town in southwest India. His dream was to be an
airplane pilot, and when he was 16 years old, he learned to fly a small plane.
At the age of 23 and with just a little money in his pocket, Mr. Kazi moved to the United
States. He hoped to get a job in the airplane industry in California. Instead, he ended up working
for a company that rented cars.
While Mr. Kazi was working at the car rental(
祖赁的
) company, he frequently ate at a nearby
KFC restaurant. To save money on food, he decided to get a job with KFC. For two months, he
worked as a cook's assistant. His job was to clean the kitchen and help the cook.
Mr. Kazi says,
One day, Mr. Kazi's two co-workers failed to come to work. That day, Mr. Kazi did the work
of all three people in the kitchen. This really impressed the owners of the restaurant.
A few months later, the owners needed a manager for a new restaurant. They gave the job to
Mr. Kazi. He worked hard as the manager and soon the restaurant was making a profit.
A few years later, Mr. Kazi heard about a restaurant that was losing money. The restaurant
was dirty inside and the food was terrible. Mr. Kazi borrowed money from a bank and bought the
restaurant.
For

Kazi

seven days a week. He and his wife cleaned up the restaurant, remodeled the front of the building,
and improved the cooking. They also tried hard to please the customers. lf someone had to wait
more than ten minutes for their food, Mrs. Kazi gave them a free soda. Before long the restaurant
was making a profit.
A year later, Mr. Kazi sold his restaurant for a profit. With the money he earned, he bought
three more restaurants that were losing money. Again,'he cleaned them up, improved the food, and
retrained the employees. Before long these restaurants were making a profit, too.

Three Ways to Become More Creative
Most people believe they don't have has imagination, but most of us, once much imagination.
They
are
wrong.
Everyone
we
become
adults,
forget
how
to
access
it.
Creativit}r
isn't
always
connected with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time routinely think of
creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or
you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.
This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them. First,
think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word,
idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles: light,
fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the
ideas to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original present; you could
buy
him
tickets
to
a
match
or
take
him
out
for
the night.
Imagine
that
normal
limitations
don't
exist. You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new
possibilities. If, for example, your goal is to learn to ski(
滑雪）
, you can now practice skiing every
day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you
can practice skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January.
Look
at
the
situation
from
a
different
point
of
view.
Good
negotiators
(
谈判者
)
use
this
technique in business, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in
their
books,
They
ask
questions:
what
does
this
character
want?
Why
can't
she
get
it?
What
changes must she make to get what she wants? What does about? If your goal involves
other people, put yourself
36. According to the passage, become adults,

A. you should link it with candles.. . .
B. you have to think of buying a present for a friend.
C. you should link it with as many words as possible.

A. setting a goalis as simple as skiing..
B. you have every resource to achieve your goal.

D. December and January are the best months for skiing.

B. what do I usually do?
C. what did my boss tell me to do?
D. how should I sell my products?

The State of Marriage Today
Is there something seriousty wrong with marriage today? During the'past 50 years, the rate of
divorce in the United States has exploded: almost 50% of marriages end in divorce now, and the
evidence suggests it is going to get worse. If this trend continues, it will lead to the breakup of the
family, a spokesperson for the National Family Association. Some futurists predict
that in 100 years, the average American will marry at least four times, and extramaritai
（婚外的）
affairs will be even more common than they are now.
But what are the reasons for this, and is the picture really so gloomy (
明暗的
)? The answer to
the
first
question
is
really
quite
simple:
marriage
is
no
longer
the
necessity
it
once
was.
The
institution
of
marriage
has
been
based
for
years
partly
on
economic
need.
Women
used
to
be
economically dependent on their husbands-as they usually didn't have jobs outside the home. But
with the rising number of women in well-paying jobs, this i:a no longer the case, so they don't feel
that they'need to stay in a failing marriage.
In answer to the second question, the outlook may not be as pessimistic (
悲观的
) as it seems.
While the rate of divorce has risen; the rate of couples marrying has never actually fallen ver}t
much, so marriage is still quite popular. In addition to this, many couples now simply live together
and don't bother to marry. These couples are effectively married, but they do not appear in either
the marriage or divorce statistics. In fact, more than 50% offtrst marriages survive.
So
is
marriage
really
an
outdated
institution?
The
fact
that
most
people
still
get .
married
indicates
that
it
isn't.
And
it
is
also
true
that
married
couples
have
a
healthier
life
than
single
people: they suffer less from stress and its consequences, such as heart problems, and married men
generally consider themselves more dontented tfian their single counterparts. Perhaps the key is to
find out what makes a successful marriage and apply it to all of our relationships!
41. Which of the following is true about the marriage in the United States today?
e leads to the breakup of the family.
B. More than half of the married couples get divorced.
