Passage 2

Being your own boss is the dream of most people, but it comes with a price（代价）. Since（既然） you do not have to answer to someone else, you have to be responsible for your own business. In this sense（在这个意义上）, the business becomes the new boss. Here are some tips for you to observe（观察，注意）.

Work-life balance: Staring a business will consume a lot of time and energy. Not letting the business prevent you from（阻止你）having personal time is a challenge. The failure to manage a work-life balance can lead to health problems and lost relationships with family and friends.

Making decisions: Since（由于） you are the owner, you have the final decision（最终决定）. This can be a tough challenge because you know that you alone have to bear the consequences of your decisions.

Self-doubt and criticism: In the beginning, customers and competitors will not take you seriously. Everyone will be quick to share their opinions on what you are doing wrong and why it will not work.

With all this, self-doubt will start to occur（出现）. Maybe they are all right. Maybe starting this business was a bad idea. If you have done your homework, this is the moment to overcome（克服） the fear of failure and have the confidence in yourself to keep going.

31. According to the first paragraph，being your own boss means that you should_______.

根据第一段，当你自己的老板意味着你应该_______。

A. meet your customers' demand

B. take responsibility of your own business

C. have the freedom to do what you like

D. take other people's needs into consideration

A. 满足客户的需求

meet one's demand（满足……的需求）

B. 为自己的事业负责

take responsibility of… （对……负责）

C. 有自由做你喜欢做的事

D. 考虑他人的需要

take…into consideration(考虑……)

解析：

第一句为主旨句，引出当自己老板的代价（price）。题干问你当自己老板了，应该（should）咋，直接在第一段找should的同义词，即have to，后面的be responsible for your own business就是答案。

32. The writer believes that not being able to manage a work-life balance can result in____.

作者认为，无法平衡工作与生活会导致____。

A. big debts

B. lost profits

C. legal issues

D. health problems

A. 巨额债务

B. 利润损失

C. 法律问题

D. 健康问题

解析：

根据work-life balance将答案定位于第二段，题干中not being able to意为“不能”，即不能这么做，会导致（result in）什么。

第二段中，failure to意为“失败做”，与not being able to同义；后半句说这样会导致（lead to）health problems and lost relationships with family and friends，即健康问题&失去家人朋友的关系，D选项符合。

33. Making a final decision can be a tough（艰难的） challenge to business owners because____.

做出最终决定对企业主来说可能是一项艰巨的挑战，因为____。

A. they have to be responsible for its consequences

B. they are unable to turn to others for advice

C. they find it hard to achieve a work-life balance

D. they are prevented from having their personal time

A. 他们必须为后果负责

B. 他们无法向他人寻求建议

C. 他们发现很难实现工作与生活的平衡

D. 他们被禁止拥有自己的私人时间

解析：

根据making a final decision将答案定位于第二段，在第三段找到题干的句子后，直接看because后面：you know that you alone have to bear the consequences of（承担后果）your decisions，与A选项同义。

34. What will your competitors react at the very beginning of your business?

您的竞争对手在您开展业务的最初阶段会有什么反应？

A. They will not accept your products.

B. They will not take you seriously.

C. They will criticize your business strongly.

D. They will congratulate you on your success.

A. 他们不会接受你的产品。

B. 他们不会把你当回事。

C. 他们会强烈批评你的生意。

D. 他们会祝贺你成功。

解析：

在创业开始阶段，客户和竞争对手都不会把你当回事（not take you seriously，不严肃对待你），任何人都能对你指指点点、发表意见（share their opinions on you）。

既不是A、C选项中的"不接受"、"强烈批评"，也不是D选项的"祝贺成功"，而是没人理你。

35. By saying “you have done your homework”, the writer means _____.

作者说“你做完了功课”，意思是_____。

A. you are well-prepared

B. you are fully satisfied

C. you are highly confident

D. you are less worried

A. 你准备充分

B. 你完全满意

C. 你非常自信

D. 你不那么担心

解析：

根据题干定位到第五段。第一段总起，二三四段为3个小tips，第五段总结，全文脉络清晰，一段对应一道题。文末说道，当你have done your homework，现在就是时候（this is the moment to）overcome（克服） the fear of failure（对失败的恐惧），and have the confidence in（有信心）yourself to keep going.而选项中并没有此句的同义句，只能逐一理解选项。但这类题也有解题技巧，即观察选项的情感色彩，B、C选项的fully和highly过于夸张，可以排除（同理，34题C选项中的strongly也属于此类）。剩下A的“准备好了”和D的“不那么担心”，本文讲的是自己当老板前的一些tips，做完这些功课，当然是准备好了，继续往前！

阅读题做题技巧：做阅读时，先看题，带着问题读文章，找出题干同义句，答案就在那句话附近；题目顺序和文章顺序一致；标出的重点词汇，尝试自行理解文章大意。
