Who is there among us who hasn’t dreamed of having his or her own small (maybe, several years later, even big) business, and having wonderful freedom, both from a boss and from the time clock: the freedom to make up our own rules for our work, and our own planes --- arranging our own hours of work That way work would be both painless and fun. Or, so we imagine.
Well, in fact it isn’t quite as simple as that. Yes, it is true that being the boss has its satisfactions and that you can arrange your working hours freely if you own your own small business. But in those early years of starting your own business, you shouldn’t think of a free day, not to mention flying off for a month’s vacation. It is not unusual for new business owners to work seventy or eighty hours a week, and if there is a day off, that day might need to be devoted to accounting.
But this negative picture doesn’t destroy the beautiful hopes. The possibility of getting something wonderful in return --- both material and mental --- continues to drive that large number of people who start up small businesses each year in the United States.
7. From the first paragraph, we know that everybody hopes _____.
A. to rule others B. to be his or her own boss C. to get a time work D. to be free from work
8. Most new business owners have to _______.
A. work more than 10 hours a day B. devote himself to accounting
C. fly to some places in the world D. have a day off in a week
9. The expression “negative picture” most probably means “_____________”.
A. a terrible experience B. a poor picture
C. limited freedom D. unpleasant situations
10. The beautiful hopes will never be destroyed because _____.
A. people love beautiful things by nature
B. people have a strong desire to seek personal gains
C. small businesses make big money each year in the US
D. small businesses have advantages over big companies
D
Giving backing

The Westborough High School golf team had taken the official photos with the state prize. The other teams, disappointed, were on the bus heading home. And then Westborough instructor Greg Rota noticed something wrong on one of the score cards. A 9 had been recorded as a 7. They were not the state prize winner; Wobum High had won. “No one would have known,” said Wobum’s instructor, Bob Doran. For Rota, it wasn’t difficult decision: “The prize wasn’t ours to take.”
Coin Stars
“College students are lazy, but they also want to help,” says University of Pennsylvania graduate Dana Hork. So she made it easy, placing cups in rooms where students could leave their spare coins, and handing out cups to first-year students to keep in their rooms. Her “Change for Change” effort has collected $40, 000 for charities(慈善机构), which were decided upon by students.
