Business Blossoms
创业之花
As she spoke, Zhang Yue put her hands behind her back to hide that they were shaking.
发言时,张悦把双手藏在背后,以掩饰双手的颤抖。
She couldn't, however, hide the line of sweat running down her forehead, which was caused partly by the heat of the television studio, but more by fear of the four people seated in front of her.
但她无法掩饰从额头淌下的一行汗水,这一部分是由于电视演播室里有些热,但更多的则是她害怕坐在她面前的四个人。

“Only when the tide goes out do you discover who is swimming naked.” This is a quote attributed to Warren Buffet, who is widely __1__ to be one of the world's most successful investors of all time, with a net worth of over$86 billion.
What does it mean Simply, you can't appreciate the risks you (or a company) are taking until tested by __2__ circumstances. In other words, in favorable market conditions, making a small fortune is __3__ but hard. It is only when market conditions __4__ that you can tell who has made solid investment decisions.
This concept is more important than ever, as investing is literally just a few taps away on a smart phone. This has __5__ more young people to start their own financial ventures for the first time. According to a report published by The Shanghai Advanced Institute of Finance, about 60 percent of the Alipay financial management users are under 35, with a significant __6__ born after 1990. The traditional impression of Chinese youth as big spenders clearly does not __7__ everyone. And increasingly, the younger generation are moving away from the habits of their parents. They are more willing to put some of their earnings into financial products instead of just __8__ the money into a bank account or buying an apartment.
I __9__ their decision. There is no doubt that it is critical for an individual to become financially literate. It means being able to set yourself short and long term financial goals, as well as to make good use of your __10__ to meet these targets. For those who lack the skills and knowledge needed to make a budget, __11__ spending, manage credit cards, and calculate interest on savings and loans, they will be more __12__ to financial difficulties. A study conducted by the FINRA Foundation revealed that nearly two-thirds of Americans failed to pass a basic test of financial literacy. I am much more fortunate than them because my parents helped me open my first bank account when I was young and advised me on how to make __13__ meet.
New investors are riding a wave of growth in China that has been largely uninterrupted for decades now. They have never experienced a severe economic depression. Having a long life ahead of them, they have to keep on learning how to protect their wealth and to manage their risk—__14__ setting ambitious goals for the growth of personal finances may be desirable. Or, as Buffet would likely advise those __15__ investing for the first time: Dress appropriately and swim safe.

Gabby hated losing bows, and her mom was tired of buying replacements. As Rozalynn shared her frustration with other parents on social media, someone suggested that the Goodwins try creating their own barrettes.
“I was super excited,” said Gabby, now 14. “I was nagging (唠叨) my mom every single day about these barrettes.” Gabby's persistence persuaded her mother, and they began to deal with the problem.
First they examined Gabby's hair bows to see why they were falling out. Then they came up with a design for a double face, double snap barrette that attaches securely to hair.
When the Goodwins first showed their design to business investors, it was rejected. The product wasn't the right fit or the business plan wasn't good, companies told them. The setbacks made Gabby more determined.
Gabby and her mother didn't give up, and in 2014 they began selling the bows online. The barrettes were so popular that the Goodwins received a patent. Today Gabby is chief of Confidence by GaBBY Goodwin, and the barrettes—called GaBBY Bows—are available online and in 74 Target stores across the country. In 2018 Black Enterprise selected Gabby as its Teenpreneur of the year. The following year, Gabby and Rozalynn set up a virtual academy to help girls learn business skills.
If you watch Gabby deliver a speech on a Facebook video, it's hard to imagine the South Carolina eighth grader as anything other than confident. But learning to be the public face of her company was “really hard at first”, she said.
Over the years, with a lot of practice speaking to audiences, Gabby grew more comfortable in her role. She offers this advice to kids: “Keep doing what you're passionate about, then you'll be able to grow in confidence.”

Twenty three states require high schoolers to take the subject, and more could join them in an effort to boost the next generation's financial literacy (理财素养). The number of states requiring high schoolers to learn about personal money matters continued to tick higher in 2021, and another state—Florida—is ready to join the group shortly. In Florida, a law has been passed to require students to take a course in personal finance before graduating.
“Financial concerns have been heightened, and rising inflation (通货膨胀) is tightening household budgets. Those factors, combined with continual worries about burdensome student debt levels and shaky retirement security, have created a stronger case for making personal money skills a priority for high schoolers, who are soon to make decisions about college loans or finding a job,” an advocate for financial literacy said.
Financial literacy—a knowledge of concepts like saving, credit, interest rates, investing and risk assessment—is generally low among American young adults, according to a recent report from the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America Institute. Two thirds of Generation Z, members born between 1997 and 2012, for example, couldn't correctly answer more than half the financial questions in the survey, which compared financial literacy across five generations.
“The situation has shown a critical need for the average American to have these skills,” said Tim Ranzetta, co founder of Next Gen Personal Finance. “State level surveys conducted for Next Gen have found strong support for high school personal finance requirements,” Mr Ranzetta said, “and dozens of proposals have been presented to the law making bodies in the government. It's uncertain how many will become law, but a requirement in a large state like Florida is likely to propel other states' efforts.” He also said, “There will be a FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) effect.”
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍美国有23个州要求高中生学习理财,而且可能会有更多的州加入这一行列,以提高下一代的理财素养。
5.The author mentions Generation Z in Paragraph 3 as an example ________.
A.to encourage American people to save money
B.to emphasize the importance of financial support
C.to persuade the younger generation out of investing
D.to show the lack of financial literacy among young adults
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Financial literacy ... among American young adults (美国年轻人的金融素养——储蓄、信贷、利率、投资和风险评估等概念知识——普遍较低)”可推知,第三段提到Generation Z是为了表明年轻人缺乏财务知识。故选D。
6.Which can best replace the underlined word “propel” in the last paragraph
A.combine B.promote
C.waste D.require
答案:B
解析:词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“In Florida ... finance before graduating.”以及最后一段中的“There will be a FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) effect.”可推知,此处指佛罗里达州相关法律的通过会推动(promote)其他州的努力,即propel可以用promote来代替。故选B。
7.What is the text mainly about
A.The inflation has had a bad effect on the economy in the USA.
B.The government should pass laws to fight against the rising inflation.
C.Learning about personal money matters has been a burden for students.
D.Personal finance is being brought to the classroom for the next generation.
答案:D
解析:主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Twenty-three states require ... the next generation's financial literacy (理财素养).(23个州要求高中生学习这一科目,而且可能会有更多的州加入这一行列,以提高下一代的理财素养。)”及下文可知,本文主要是在介绍个人理财正在进入下一代的课堂。故选D。

Gabby Goodwin and her mother, Rozalynn, had a problem: Even after careful styling, barrettes (发夹) kept slipping out of the 5 year old's hair. Gabby hated losing bows, and her mom was tired of buying replacements. As Rozalynn shared her frustration with other parents on social media, someone suggested that the Goodwins try creating their own barrettes.
“I was super excited,” said Gabby, now 14. “I was nagging (唠叨) my mom every single day about these barrettes.” Gabby's persistence persuaded her mother, and they began to deal with the problem.
First they examined Gabby's hair bows to see why they were falling out. Then they came up with a design for a double face, double snap barrette that attaches securely to hair.
When the Goodwins first showed their design to business investors, it was rejected. The product wasn't the right fit or the business plan wasn't good, companies told them. The setbacks made Gabby more determined.
Gabby and her mother didn't give up, and in 2014 they began selling the bows online. The barrettes were so popular that the Goodwins received a patent. Today Gabby is chief of Confidence by GaBBY Goodwin, and the barrettes—called GaBBY Bows—are available online and in 74 Target stores across the country. In 2018 Black Enterprise selected Gabby as its Teenpreneur of the year. The following year, Gabby and Rozalynn set up a virtual academy to help girls learn business skills.
If you watch Gabby deliver a speech on a Facebook video, it's hard to imagine the South Carolina eighth grader as anything other than confident. But learning to be the public face of her company was “really hard at first”, she said.
Over the years, with a lot of practice speaking to audiences, Gabby grew more comfortable in her role. She offers this advice to kids: “Keep doing what you're passionate about, then you'll be able to grow in confidence.”

Twenty three states require high schoolers to take the subject, and more could join them in an effort to boost the next generation's financial literacy (理财素养). The number of states requiring high schoolers to learn about personal money matters continued to tick higher in 2021, and another state—Florida—is ready to join the group shortly. In Florida, a law has been passed to require students to take a course in personal finance before graduating.
“Financial concerns have been heightened, and rising inflation (通货膨胀) is tightening household budgets. Those factors, combined with continual worries about burdensome student debt levels and shaky retirement security, have created a stronger case for making personal money skills a priority for high schoolers, who are soon to make decisions about college loans or finding a job,” an advocate for financial literacy said.
Financial literacy—a knowledge of concepts like saving, credit, interest rates, investing and risk assessment—is generally low among American young adults, according to a recent report from the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America Institute. Two thirds of Generation Z, members born between 1997 and 2012, for example, couldn't correctly answer more than half the financial questions in the survey, which compared financial literacy across five generations.
“The situation has shown a critical need for the average American to have these skills,” said Tim Ranzetta, co founder of Next Gen Personal Finance. “State level surveys conducted for Next Gen have found strong support for high school personal finance requirements,” Mr Ranzetta said, “and dozens of proposals have been presented to the law making bodies in the government. It's uncertain how many will become law, but a requirement in a large state like Florida is likely to propel other states' efforts.” He also said, “There will be a FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) effect.”
