二、阅读理解、完形填空题(共5道小题)

With fewer choices in the job market and no opportunity in the stock market, people will natu rally start to consider a business launch. Just 15 years ago, that meant renting office space or a storefront. Not any more. A home-based business is perfectly respectable now. It‘s even covete d. The home business is accurately perceived as offering more personal freedom than the out-of-home launch that comes with the strings of large capital investment and staff management.

We can thank the last major down cycle for taking the stigma out of home enterprises. The early-to-mid 1980s saw corporations laying off white-collar workers for the first time. In earlier do wn cycles, white-collar workers were immune to layoffs as companies trimmed blue-collar manufa cturing jobs. The laid-off white-collar workers became consultants and worked from home. Sudde nly the home enterprise was legitimate. Running a company from your spare bedroom no longer meant you spent your day holding Mary Kay and Tupperware parties.

The Internet increased the allure of the home-based start-up. Most shoestring e-biz companie s begin in the home, whether the company trades in products or services. For a small Net-base d business, there is little reason to rent offices. Besides, statistics from the Small Business Admi nistration (SBA) strongly suggest your odds for success are greater if you launch from home.

The SBA has found that 52 to 55 percent of all businesses are no longer active after five ye ars. For those companies launched and grown in the home, the failure rate is 45 to 48 percent after five years. Placing your business in your home gives you a slightly better than even chanc e for survival. The improved odds most likely have to do with the lower overhead of a home-bas ed business.

With a soft economy and a growing number of laid-off workers who will naturally consider a business start-up when they discover their job prospects are dim, this is not the best time to lau nch a new enterprise. But a home business start-up boom is likely in process right now. It‘s not because of opp ortunity; it‘s because of desire.

[共5题]

(1) From para.1, we may know that out-of-home business launch did NOT involve______. [本题2分]

(A) renting an office place

In 2002, Ismail convinced Wyman to launch a new business –called PubSub –based on an idea that Wyman says he had been mulling for two decades: a Web search engine that would flag future references to certain search criteria, such as earthquake notifications or Securities and Exchange Commission filings. The key selling point was immediacy: While Google Alerts and ot her systems ran period ic checks for new related content, Wyman‘s program notified users the ins tant a reference appeared.

Meanwhile, Ismail, who resigned from PubSub‘s board last March, says he is in the process of starting up three Internet companies, and that recruiters are knocking do wn his door.

Mary Engelbreit was a talented but struggling artist in her mid-twenties when she flew to Ne

w York from her native Saint Louis, hoping to find work illustrating children's books —her life‘s goal. So she was disappointed when all the book publishers she visited turned her down. One e ven suggested her drawings might be better suited to greeting cards.

Then she decided to give it a try, which transformed her life forever. After that, Engelbreit se nt a sample of her drawings to two greeting-card companies. One bought three of her original dr awings, and she did occasional work for the other, sketching a lot of whales, dragons, castles a nd mythical animals. Then in 1980 the birth of her son added a new element to her work. ―Sud denly everyday life seemed more interesting to me,‖ she says. Children, pets, even ―good old Mo m‖ started showing up on her cards.

Once you know Engelbreit‘s distinctive style, you can recognize her cards from 20 paces aw ay —bright, funny, and with an eye to the past. Her cards usually have elaborate border design s comprised of repeated images: hearts, flowers, peaches, and teapots, for example. ―I think the world could use more cuteness,‖ she explains. ―As the world gets more complicated, it‘s nice to have old-fashioned stuff around to help people cope wi th the demands of modern life. It‘s like co mfort food. This is comfort art.‖

While eight months pregnant, in 1983, Engelbreit decided to start her own company. Within t wo years, her company was producing nearly 100 different cards and selling a million of them a year. In 1986 she licensed the copyrights to the cards to Sunrise Publications, who now manag es their production and distribution, allowing her to focus on other projects. Among these is her home-decorating magazine which is sent to 550,000 people.

Today Mary Engelbreit sells an amazing 14 million greeting cards a year. Her popular design s appear on more than 2,000 products, including books, calendars, and kitchen items. She runs

a retail company with shops in nine cities (16 more are planned), and her products are carried b

Nothing says love like a dozen long-stemmed roses on Valentine‘s Day. ―Red roses say ?I lov e you‘,‖ says Gerald Hager, executive director of a marketing research institute. For rose grower s, rose distributors and rose sellers, this year‘s anticipated 7% increase in sales will be sweeter t han a box of chocolate candy.

Rose is still red. But selling is no longer a beautiful experience for traditional flower shop s. Supermarkets now offer convenience to the busy. And discount rose shops help those hopeles sly in love save money.

Roses Only is a good example of a discount rose retailer that was transformed from a traditi

onal shop to answer the challenge in the 1990s. Except for today, prices range from 19 for a dozen of its longest stems. The company, its headquarters in New York, has three stores in New York, one in Canada and five in Spain. It plans to expand to three more U.S. cities this ye ar.

The company‘s formula for success is to hold prices down by controlling every link in the ros e chain. It grows its own roses in the sunshine of the Andes Mountains(安第斯山脉) near the ca pital of Ecuador(厄瓜多尔). Fresh roses are sprayed with water to keep them moist and flown to company stores three times a week. The New York stores sell about 45,000 stems a week, alon g with other things like balloons and stuffed animals. Roses Only can arrange delivery by overni ght mail to anywhere in the country.

While discount rose retailers watch their business bloom, U.S. rose growers are going bank rupt in severe foreign competition. Today, more than 57% of roses sold in the USA are grown in other countries. The biggest foreign producers are Colombia(哥伦比亚) and Ecuador, accounting for almost 90% of the total imported last year. Imported roses are sold across the entire breadth of the country, from big flower shops to street-corner stands. The trend has hurt domestic rose growers. All the changes are making some in the rose business long for the good old days.
