wanted to do was go skating. I had been waiting for weeks   5   the water was frozen solid. Mom had one
rule: "Never ice-skate alone." But I couldn"t   6   any longer that afternoon. So I   7   my skates under my
coat and ran to the pond. Several people were skating near the shore, and some kids were playing hockey.
I was not really   8  .
     The hockey game had attracted   9   audience, so I skated in the other direction until their cheering  10 .
But another noise came soon. The ice was cracking beneath me. Freezing water 11  my body, and I sank like
a rock. My feet   12   the bottom. Just when I thought I wouldn"t last another   13 , I felt a tap on my
shoulder."Don"t worry," someone said. I swung my   14   around. I couldn"t see anybody. But I heard the
voice again, "Push your feet into the bottom and you"ll shoot straight up to the surface." I did as I was told
and  15 . I crawled to the shore and lay down,   16  . The next thing I knew was people were  17  around
me, covering me with coats.
     When I awoke, I was home in my own bed. Mom sat next to me,  18  my hand."I saw nobody there. It
must be an angel that came to my  19 . " I said. Mom smiled,"I just thank God you"re safe."

     Burn rate is the speed at which a startup business consumes money. My rate was $ 75,000 a month.
Four months after my company was set up, I had only a quarter of the starting capital left in the bank.
     Looking for guidance, I went to talk to my friend, Arthur Walworth about my new venture. "Times
of great change always bring out the risk-takers," he said."And they leave winners and losers. My
grandfather invested a lot of money in a project of Thomas Edison" s that ended up in failure."
      I was lost in thought at the notion(an idea or belief about something) of a Thomas Edison project
ending in failure. Damn. It could happen to anybody! I must continue.
     At that time CD-ROM sales had bombed, so investors were fleeing from the field. I didn"t turn away
from mine entirely, but instead linked it to the internet.
     My plan was to offer consumers descriptions of home-design products by using a special software
and let them modify the designs. Then we can enable them to get online professional and constructional
help to have their houses built, decorated and furnished according to their own choice.
      To realize my plan I needed investors, so I continued to meet regularly with venture capitalists. One
said I had a great idea. But I needed to test it. Get the money somewhere. To get this money from a
venture capitalist is going to cost my wife and my children! He turned down my request.
     Wife? Children? I hardly remembered them.
      I was working nonstop-struggling to turn the key in the lock, to find the right way ahead. The pressure
was terrible. It was just at this time that my parents and sisters stepped up. Two hundred thousand dollars.
A lot of money to them, invested in this crazy son and brother without a moment"s hesitation. Dad and
Mom had driven out from Chicago and seen the passion in my little office and the trouble at home.
     With their help my company survived and has been prospering ever since.

A. $ 450,000

2. Arthur implies that to start a business in times of change, people have to _____.
A. rely on famous people all be time
B. invest as much money as possible
C. face the risks of possible failure
D. think about nothing but success
3. The author"s company was engaged in _____.
A. furniture design and production
B. online home-design service
C. traditional home designing
D. home decoration business
4. Faced with a very unfavorable market situation, the author decided _______ .
A. to improve his service
B. to start a new business
C. to withdraw his money
D. to reduce his investment

     I still remember the days when I was a youthful student in an engineering school. I lived a    1   life,
without caring about the future. I smoked, drank with friends and made girl friends.    2   did I realize that
casualness would certainly lead to loss.
     Two years had passed and I was   3    at a report card that highlighted FAIL in more than half the
subjects. I didn"t   4  , at least not till my dad found out about it. You see, I studied in India and   5  the
United States where the students are expected to finance their own education, my dad financed me.
     Then came the day when my dad found out my   6   of smoking. He lost his temper   7   he just told me,
"Son, your   8   is cut in half from this moment on". It   9   me like a roundhouse kick (回旋踢) from Bruce
Lee. I was jolted (震摇) out of my bones! I couldn"t comprehend how to pay off the debts that I had  10  in
college. I owed everybody  11 : the grocery store, the bars, the restaurants, my friends, etc. I was living a
life filled with   12  . When I went back to college, I knew that if I didn"t   13  the way I lived my life I
wouldn"t be able to pay everybody off. So I decided to make some changes. I quit smoking,   14   from my
friends who led me down the wrong road, starting   15  out in libraries and reading my engineering books.
     One year later, I went from a  16   failure to a magna cum laude (优等成绩). Life was never the same
again. This incident made me know that anything is   17   if you take action and do something about it,   18  
 small or large. Even today it still   19  me when I feel that I"m about to lose or give up. It  20  me that I can
do it!

     It was a week before Christmas, but things were far from cheery. Our task was to deliver as many boxes
of food as possible to those in need in Camden, New Jersey. There were no Christmas carolers (唱颂歌的人)
walking these streets that were lined with boarded-up (用木板封住的) houses and broken windows. Mothers
kept their children close as they hurried down the streets. It was mid-afternoon, but even the bright sun couldn"t warm this place.
     Red tickets in the windows marked which houses we were to visit. Our white truck stopped in front of one
townhouse and our group knocked on the door. In our arms were boxes filled with ham, bread and other
essentials to make the perfect Christmas dinner. Four small faces glanced through the curtains and one
exhausted mom answered the door. She seemed embarrassed to be caught in her nightgown with undone hair.
She was in her mid-20s, but her rough skin and tired eyes added years.
      "Sacred Heart food delivery service," I smiled."Where can we put this for you?"
      She pointed and as we entered the house, I noticed the conditions they lived in. The children climbed around, wearing only diapers (尿布). There were no carpets, only cold concrete beneath our feet. There was no
Christmas tree or decorations. My heart sank. It was so cold, and I found it hard to believe that this was reality
for this family. We set the boxes down and the mother grabbed my hand.
     "You don"t know how much of a blessing this is to me and my family," she said, crying."We are just getting by." I opened my arms and gave her a hug.
     "Happy holidays!" I replied before I headed out the door. I realized how warm I felt inside. This was unlike
anything I had ever experienced. We cannot help what family we are born into, but we can help each other.
1. From Paragraph 1, we can infer that Camden may be a place where ______.
A. the living conditions were terrible
B. people had no belief
C. there was no sign of life
D. little sunshine was received
2. What impression did the woman leave on the author?
A. She was shy and cold to visitors.
B. She was confident and energetic.
C. She wasn"t good at dressing herself up.
D. She looked much older than her age.
3. By saying "We are just getting by", the woman meant ______.
A. they were waiting for help
B. they were looking for food and clothing
C. they were going to move away
D. they were living a very poor life
4. The passage mainly tells us that _______.
A. the poor can also help others
B. assisting the poor needs actions
C. people should help each other
D. having more children causes poverty
