Text A Gaining a Foothold in the Business World
1. Warming up activity
1.1 leading-in
Running a business start-up like the one founded by Parker Maroney needs the, willingness to take risks, a passion towards a goal, and a clear vision on the part of the 13-year-old. But they are not enough for a successful entrepreneur. Bo Peabody, a well-known venture capitalist and founder of several quite successful companies, demonstrates through his interesting “A-students vs. B-students”theory that a partnership between a target-driven business starter and a perfectionist manager may even be more important and rewarding.

Managers and entrepreneurs are perceived as two groups of professionals, each having unique traits. For example, entrepreneurs envision new enterprises, while managers may see opportunities for expanding the scale and scope of existing business.

Managerial competence is characterized by proper resource allocation, organizing and motivating people, coordinating tasks, ability to supervise, influence and lead people, ability to delegate effectively, and keep the organization

1) Entrepreneurs and business managers
Entrepreneur is a loanword from French defined as an individual who organizes or operates a business or businesses. The entrepreneur is commonly seen as an innovator —a generator of new ideas and business processes.
Entrepreneurs are leaders willing to take risks and exercise the initiative, taking advantage of market opportunities by planning, organizing and employing resources often by innovating new or improving existing products. Management skill and strong team building abilities are often perceived as essential leadership attributes for successful entrepreneurs.
A business manager is a person who drives the work of others in order to run a major
business efficiently and make a large profit. He or she should have working knowledge of many areas, and may be a specialist in one or more, such as sales, marketing, public relations; statistics, finance, and personnel.
The outstanding list of world-renowned entrepreneurs in the 20th and 21st century includes, for instance,
Sam Walton,
Henry Ford,
Bill Gates,
Mark Elliot Zuckerberg
3. Reading and discussing
3.1 Reading skill focus:Scanning for specific information
Understanding comparison and contrast
By comparison and contrast, the writer brings together two subjects in order to show their similarities and differences, or highlight the essential characteristics of one or more subjects.
Readers may understand comparison and contrast relationship in a passage by:
identifying synonyms or antonyms used in the passage
identifying connectives indicating comparison and contrast relationship
distinguishing between point-by-point and subject-by-subject patterns in presenting comparison and contrast relationship
Point-by-point pattern:
the author examines two things at the same time, discussing them one point after the other.
Subject-by-subject pattern:
the author examines one thing thoroughly and then starts the other.
The author may choose one or both of the two patterns to achieve variety in his writing.
Successful Entrepreneurs, A-Students or B-Students?
Read the title and Paras.1-2 of Text A, and then share your answers to the questions in class:
1) Who are likely to become successful entrepreneurs, A-students or B-students?
The answer varies.
Why did Bo’s mum’s think that he would be a B-student?
He probably has the character traits of a B-student.
3. 2 Text organization
1) Main idea: By presenting comparison and contrast relations between B-students and
A-students, entrepreneurs and managers, the author puts forward the idea that B-students are more likely to be entrepreneurs while A-students _are more likely to be managers
He also holds that A-student managers and B-student entrepreneurs should understand and appreciate each other so that they can cooperate productively.
2) Text organization
4. In-class Discussion
Work in groups and discuss the following questions.
1) Do you agree with the author in saying that B-students are entrepreneurs and A-students are managers? Please give reasons and examples to support your opinion.
Tips:
The answer may vary. As far as I’m concerned, the author’s viewpoint is reasonable. For instance, an entrepreneur should have vision and take risks to start up a business and seek opportunities to develop the company. He may not focus on one thing for a long time and get it done perfectly. This kind of character trait can also be seen in B-students. Instead, the character traits of managers
do coincide with those of the A-students, especially as perfectionists in doing things.

企业家们希望马上得到结果，而经理们却乐意等待，他们相信功到自然成。

2. Writing:
2.1 Writing goal: Developing comparison and contrast paragraphs
When we compare two things, we show how they are similar; when we contrast two things, we show how they are different. The purpose of comparing and contrasting is to understand each of the two things more clearly and, at times, to make judgments about them.
For example, in Text A, the author makes a comparison and contrast between the qualities of A students and those of B students, which make successful managers and entrepreneurs respectively.
2.2 Writing skill: proposing solutions to a problem
In developing comparison and contrast paragraphs, you can use
graphic organizers to visualize similarities and differences, e.g., a Venn diagram or a compare / contrast matrix.
two major ways to organize comparison / contrast paragraphs: subject-by-subject and point-by-point.
Ex.1 The following paragraph is organized by using the subject-by-subject pattern.
“Would you rather be a big fish in a small pond or a small fish in a sea of water?”Within a chosen field, you can now decide which environment is fit for you: a large corporation or a small business. Despite the similar job title or position, the differences are obvious. At a large corporation, your position comes with a list of very specific responsibilities. You work in a team, and if you enjoy collaborating, you will be productive on the job.
Besides, the vision of working your way up is clear and you know what you have to accomplish to get there, but it can also be rather competitive. On the contrary, the structure of a small business is often more flexible. And you may be expected to juggle many roles when you work for a small business. Moreover, you are competing for a higher position with fewer people than in Fortune 100 companies.

第一单元 大学已经不再特别了 有这么一种说法：“要是你能记得20 世纪60 年代的任何事情，你就没有真正经历过那段岁月。”对于在大麻烟雾中度过大学时光的那些人，这话可能是真的。但是，20 世纪60 年代有一件事人人都记得，那就是：上大学是你一生中最激动人心、最刺激的经历。20 世纪60 年代，加州的高校把本州变成了世界第七大经济实体。然而，加州大学的主校园伯克利分校也以学生示威、罢课以及激进的政治氛围而著名。1966 年，罗纳德·里根竞选加州州长，他问加州是否允许“一所伟大的大学被喧闹的、持不一意见的少数人征服。”自由派人士回答说，大学之所以伟大正是因为它们有能力容忍喧闹的、持不同意见的少数人。在欧洲的大学校园里，大学生以新的姿态和激情地投入到自由和正义的事业中去，大规模的社会主义或共产主义运动引发了他们与当权者之间日益升级的暴力冲突。许多抗议是针对越南战争的。可是在法国，巴黎大学的学生与工会联盟，发动了一场大罢工，最终导致了戴高乐总统辞职。 20 世纪60 年代大学生活的特点并不仅仅是激进的行动。不论在什么地方，上大学都意味着你初次品尝真正自由的滋味，初次品尝深更半夜在宿舍或学生活动室里讨论人生意义的滋味。你往往得上了大学才得以阅读你的第一本禁书，看你的第一部独立影人电影，或者找到和你一样痴迷吉米·亨德里克斯或伦尼·布鲁斯的志同道合者。那是一段难以想象的自由时光，你一生中最无拘无束的时光。 可如今那份激情哪儿去了？大学怎么了？现在，政治、社会和创造意识的觉醒似乎不是凭借大学的助力，而是冲破其阻力才发生的。当然，一点不假，高等教育仍然重要。例如，在英国，布莱尔首相几乎实现了到2010 年让50％的30 岁以下的人上大学的目标，（即使愤世嫉俗的人会说，这是要把他们排除在失业统计数据之外）。不过，大学教育已不再是全民重视的话题了。如今，大学被视为人们急于逃离的一种小城镇。有些人辍学，但大多数已经有些麻木，还是坚持混到毕业，因为离开学校实在是太费事了。 没有了20 世纪60 年代大学生发现的令人头脑发热的自由气氛，如今的大学生要严肃得多。英国文化促进会最近做了一项调查，研究外国留学生在决定上哪所大学时考虑的因素。这些因素从高到低依次是：课程质量、就业前景、学费负担、人身安全问题、生活方式，以及各种便利。大学已变成实现目的的手段，是在就业市场上增加就业几率的一个机会，上大学本身不再是目的，它给你提供一个机会，让你暂时想象一下：你能够改变世界。童年与大学之间的距离已缩小了，大学与现实世界之间的距离也缩小了。其中的一个原因可能是经济方面的。在一个没有保障的世界里，现在的许多孩子依赖父母资助的时间比以前的孩子更长。21世纪的学生大学毕业后根本无法自立门户，因为那太昂贵了。另一个可能的原因是通讯革命。儿子或女儿每学期往家里打一两回电话的日子一去不复返了。如今，大学生通过手机与父母保持着脐带式联系。至于寻找痴迷无名文学或音乐的同道好友嘛，没问题，我们有互联网和聊天室来帮助我们做到这一点。 “在那黎明时分活着是至福， 但年轻就等于身在天堂！” 华兹华斯的诗句说的可能是法国大革命，但是对于20 世纪60 年代的大学生而言，这样的诗句同样真实生动。可是为什么对于如今的大学生来说，它们怎么就不真实了呢？ Active reading (2) 后一切的一代 弗兰克·托马斯是普林斯顿大学二年级学生，主修文学理论专业。他希望当人权律师。我从没指望通过上文学理论课来了解我这一代人的特征，或了解美国大学是如何在变化的。这门

The statement means one should look at and accept things as they are, and remain unbothered by external matters or personal gains or losses. It is a mental outlook that reflects the traditional Taoist ideas of China, instructing people to become calm and detached. Even today, when we have a highly developed material civilization, keeping such a state of mind is still important. When you possess such a state of mind, you will be able to live a brighter and more joyous life. 第三单元课后翻译：

I. Warm-up activities 1.Background information Chrysler Corporation (A) The Chrysler Corporation, founded in 1924, used to be one of the three largest American automobile manufacturers whose brands include both passenger and commercial vehicles such as Chrysler, Jeep? and Dodge. The two other largest American automobile manufacturers are General Motors and Ford. Chrysler Corporation (B) In addition to auto making, Chrysler is also engaged in financial services, providing loan services (mostly) to car buyers. In 1998 it merged with Daimler-Benz AG (of Germany) (best known for its Mercedes-Benz brand name) to become part of the DaimlerChrysler Corporation, which is jointly owned by European, U.S. and other international investors. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) (A) A U.S. government agency, whose mission is to protect investors and maintain the integrity of the securities markets. The Commission was set up by the U.S. Congress in 1933 in response to “Black Monday”, the Great Stock Market Crash in 1929. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) (B) Its purpose was to restore investor confidence in the U.S. capital markets by providing more structure and government oversight. It is based on the concept that all investors, whether large institutions or private individuals, should have access to certain basic facts about an investment prior to buying it. To achieve this, the SEC requires public companies to disclose meaningful financial and other information to the public, which provides a common pool of knowledge for all investors to use to judge for themselves if a company’s securities are a good investment. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) (C) It is believed that only through the steady flow of timely, comprehensive and accurate information can people make sound investment decisions. At present the SEC is comprised of five presidentially-appointed Commissioners, four Divisions and 18 Offices, with a total of about 3,100 staff. The International Chamber of Commerce (A) The aim of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), founded in 1919, is to serve world business by promoting trade and investment, open markets for goods and services, and the free flow of capital. The International Chamber of Commerce (B) Its activities cover a broad spectrum, from arbitration and dispute resolution to making the case for open trade and the market economy system, business self-regulation, fighting corruption or combating commercial crime. The ICC is made of a World Council (its governing body) and individual national committees and groups. Individual companies, corporations, professional associations as well as individuals can also join the ICC as individual members. 2.Questions and answers 1)-Why do business students study professional ethics? People feel that bribery is increasing throughout the world. One day, business students will grow into managers of all ranks and in all fields. If they should offer or take bribes in their positions, corruption and unfair competition would result. In that case, normal economic order would be ruined, and people in business circles would have no commonly agreed principles to follow. To
