[简答题]_______________________ (虽然有很大的困难), you’’re supposed to bring the work to completion.

[填空题]A
So you think you’re an entrepreneur, and you want to start up a company. First, be sure you’re really an entrepreneur, and not an inventor. Inventors come up with ideas, entrepreneurs make a business out of them: it’s important to know where your abilities lie, as inventors can fail miserably at running a business. Also, you need to be confident that you can adapt your management style to meet new demands if your company is a success. Leading the management team of a growing business is very different from leading a newly founded company.
B
If your company proves successful, it will probably change out of all recognition, and may seem to possess a life of its own, with institutional shareholders, regulators and employees to consider as well as customers and bank managers. That is the time to consider how far the aspirations of the business you founded still mirror your own. If they have diverged widely, and you feel you have built just the sort of business that

When you’re trying to do business, you need to consider the culture of your customers and their expectations.
Americans are usually friendly and informal, but if they are trying to sell, they can be very tenacious!
In South America and European countries like Italy and Spain, they like to develop a personal, face-to-face relationship. Trust is very important, as is diplomacy and tact.
Japanese and Koreans favour group approaches. And like to consider entertaining as an important part of their business "rituals". They are generally more cautious and take longer to arrive at decisions.
However, whoever you are doing business with, there are various easily-remembered expressions you can use when selling to achieve results.

Japanese dislike to develop a personal, face to face relationship. They like

[填空题]You know you’re an extreme parent if.
"... your child, who does not have a documented learning disability, has more than three tutors."
"... you imagine that your child is going to play professional sports even though no coach has predicted this outcome"
"... you have your child take 30 practice SAT exams before the actual test."
These real-life examples come from Michael Thompson, a psychologist who has seen extreme parenting on the front lines for many years, and who has been called in by schools across the U. S. to guide parents on how to tone it down. Thompson acknowledges that parents want the best for their children. But he warns parents against overestimating their roles in a child’s development, which can lead to extreme behavior and a crooked sense of how the kids are doing.
He recalls a mother who challenged her son’s high school guidance counselor after he suggested several colleges based on the student’s academics. When she expressed her d

If you’re like most people, you’ve indulged in fake listening many times. You go to history class, sit in the third row, and look (1) at the instructor as she speaks. But your mind is far away, (2) in the clouds of pleasant daydreams. (3) you come back to earth, the instructor writes an important term on the chalkboard, and you (4) copy it in your notebook. Every once in a while the instructor makes a (5) remark, causing others in the class to laugh. You smile politely, pretending that you’ve heard the remark and found it mildly (6) You have a vague sense of (7) that you aren’t paying close attention, but you tell yourself that any (8) you miss can be picked up from a friend’s notes. Besides, (9) .So back you go into your private little world. Only later do you realize you’ve missed important information for a test.
Fake listening may be easily exposed, since many s

[单项选择]If you’re like most people, you’re way too smart for advertising. You skip right past newspaper ads, never click on ads online and leave the room during TV commercials.
That, at least, is what we tell ourselves. But what we tell ourselves is wrong. Advertising works, which is why, even in hard economic times, Madison Avenue is a 34 billion-a-year business. And if Martin Lindstrom--author of the best seller Buyology and a marketing consultant for Fortune 500 companies, including PepsiCo and Disney--is correct, trying to tune this stuff out is about to get a whole lot harder.
Lindstrom is a practitioner of neuromarketing (神经营销学) research, in which consumers are exposed to ads while hooked up to machines that monitor brain activity, sweat responses and movements in face muscles, all of which are markers of emotion. According to his studies, 83% of all forms of advertising principally engage only one of our senses: sight. Hearing, however, can

B. They get marketing advice from Lindstrom.
C. Lindstrom helps them to go through hard times.

[填空题]Study Styles
You know whether you’re a morning person or a night owl. You know whether you’re a picky eater or a human garbage pail. But do you know if you learn better by reading or by hearing … if you’ve survived school so far, you already have some sort of study routine—for better or for worse. We asked students all over the country for the lowdown on their methods of operations, and also collected some hard-won advice. See if you can recognize your own personal study method on the list below and learn how to study effectively.
The Dreamer
You may say you’re studying. You may even look like you’re studying. But your mind is in the clouds. Your test performance seldom reflects those long hours you spend at your desk, almost studying. Kim, from Montreal, says, "When I get to the library, I end up sitting there and people-watching." Cindy, from Lafayette, Pennsylvania, says: "Personally, I tend to write everything down on flash cards so I can quiz my
