A

“Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy - they re

given after all. Choices can be hard."

-Jeff Bezos.

I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet

usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. I'd never seen or heard of anything that

grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles

was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and I'd been married for

a year. I told my life MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy

thing that probably wouldn't work since most start-ups don't, and I wasn't sure what

to expect. MacKenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I’d been a garage

inventor. I'd always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.

I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart

people, and I had a brilliant boss that I admired very much. I went to my boss and

told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on

a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said. “That sounds

like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't

already have a good job." That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to

think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it

really was a difficult choice, but eventually, I decided I had to give it a shot.

I didn't think I'd regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted

by a decision not to try at all.

After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and 小学+初中+高中+努力=大学

小学+初中+高中+努力=大学 I’m proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choices.

一、人物传记类文章的文体特征：

人物传记是记叙文体的一种，主要描写某人的生平事迹、趣闻轶事、生活背景、个性特征、成长奋斗历程等，包含记叙文的时间、地点、人物、事件等要素。其特点是以时间的先后或事件的发展为主线，空间或逻辑线索贯穿文章始终，脉络清楚，可读性较强。

二、人物传记类文章的阅读策略和解题技巧

1、把握文体特征，注意写作手法如前文所述，人物传记是记叙文体的一种，因此在阅读时要把握好时间、地点、人物和事件这四大要素。

其次，还应该注意人物传记类文章的结构多按时间顺序排列，一般采用倒叙的写作手法，有时也采用插叙和补叙等手段。弄清楚人物传记类文章的特征和写作手法，能帮助考生在阅读和回答问题时做到高效省时、准确无误。

2、抓住题干关键词，采用寻读的方法查找细节描述事实细节题是人物传记类文章的主要题型，一般常见以下几种类型：

(1)对号入座题：

这种题的答案一般在原文中可以直接找到，只要读懂文章，掌握文章中的事实，如时间、地点、事件等细节问题，就能选对正确答案。

(2)词义转换题：

这种题常常是原文有关词语和句子的转换，而不能在原文中直接找到。它要求考生能理解原文中某个短语或句子的含义，从而找到与答案意思相同的词语和句子。

例如：第22题，根据第三段段意和“I didn’t think I’d regret trying and failing. And

I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.”可知，老板想说服作者留下来，作者有些动摇，但经过思考之后，作者决定辞职建网站，作者不害怕尝试和失败，但会因为想法没有付诸实践而愧疚。故选A。
