My rate would be $50,000 a month when my new company started. So, I began looking around for individua

17、ls who would be my first investors. Angel money it was called. But I found none of my acquaintances might be able to help.With no other choices, I began meeting with the venture-capital companies. But I was warned they took a huge share of your company for the money they put in. And if you struggled

18、, they could drop you cold.As I was searching for angel money, I started to build a team who trusted me even though I didnt have money for paychecks yet.We had some really good people, but we still didnt have enough money. One night, my neighbor, Louise Johnson, came for a visit. She and I were only

19、 nodding acquaintances, but her boys and ours were constant companions. She ran a very good business at the time.Louise had been watching my progress closely. She knew I was dying for money and I had prospects but could offer no guarantees of success.She told me that her attorney had talked to mine

20、and the terms had been agreed upon. She handed me an envelope. Inside was a check for $500,000.I almost fell down. I heard her voice as if from heaven.I have confidence in your plan, she said. Youre going to work hard for it, but its satisfying when you build your own company.Who would have thought

25、age TwoBirds that are literally half-asleep with one brain hemisphere alert and the other sleeping control which side of the brain remains awake, according to a new study of sleeping ducks.Earlier studies have documented half-brain sleep in a wide range of birds. The brain hemispheres take turns sin

26、king into the sleep stage characterized by slow brain waves. The eye controlled by the sleeping hemisphere keeps shut, while the wakeful hemispheres eye stays open and alert. Birds also can sleep with both hemispheres resting at once.Decades of studies of birds flocks led researchers to predict extr

27、a alertness in the more vulnerable, end-of-row sleepers. Sure enough, the end birds tended to watch carefully on the side away from their companions. Ducks in the inner spots showed no preference for gaze direction.Also, birds dozing at the end of the line resorted to single-hemisphere sleep, rather

28、 than total relaxation, more often than inner ducks did. Rotating 16 birds through the positions in a four-duck row, the researchers found outer birds half-asleep during some 32 percent of dozing time versus about 12 percent for birds in internal spots.We believe this is the first evidence for an an

29、imal behaviorally controlling sleep and wakefulness simultaneously in different regions of the brain, the researchers say.The results provide the best evidence for a long-standing supposition that single-hemisphere sleep evolved as creatures scanned for enemies. The preference for opening an eye on

30、the lookout side could be widespread, they predict. Theyve seen it in a pair of birds dozing side-by-side in the zoo and in a single pet bird sleeping by a mirror. The mirror-side eye closed as if the reflection were a companion and the other eye stayed open.Useful as half-sleeping might be, its onl

31、y been found in birds and such water mammals as dolphins, whales, and seals. Perhaps keeping one side of the brains awake allows a sleeping animal to surface occasionally to avoid drowning (淹死).Studies of birds may offer unique insights into sleep. Jerome Siegel of the UCLA says he wonders if birds

32、half-brain sleep is just the tip of the iceberg. He speculates (推測(cè)) that more examples may turn up when we take a closer look at other species.A new study on birds sleep has revealed that .A. birds can control their half-brain sleep consciouslyB. birds seldom sleep with the whole of their brain at r

33、estC. half-brain sleep is characterized by slow brain wavesD. half-brain sleep is found in a wide variety of birdsAccording to the passage, birds often half sleep because .A. their brain hemispheres take turns to restB. they have to watch out for possible attacksC. they have to constantly keep an ey

34、e on their companionsD. the two halves of their brain are differently structuredThe example of a bird sleeping in front of a mirror indicates that .A. birds prefer to sleep in pairs for the sake of securityB. the phenomenon of birds dozing in pairs is widespreadC. a single pet bird enjoys seeing its

35、 own reflection in the mirrorD. even an imagined companion gives the bird a sense of securityWhile sleeping, some water mammals keep half awake probably because they .A. try to avoid being swept away by rapid currentsB. need to be alert to the approaching enemyC. need to emerge from water now and th

36、en to breatheD. have to be sensitive to the ever-changing environmentBy just the tip of the iceberg in Paragraph 8, Siegel suggests that .A. most birds living in cold regions tend to be half sleepersB. half-brain sleep has something to do with icy weatherC. the mystery of half-brain sleep is close t

37、o being solvedD. half-brain sleep could exist among other speciesPassage ThreeTo understand the marketing concept, it is only necessary to understand the difference between marketing and selling. Not too many years ago, most industries concentrated primarily on the efficient production of goods, and

38、 then relied on persuasive salesmanship to move as much of these goods as possible. Such production and selling focuses on the needs of the seller to produce goods and then convert them into money.Marketing, on the other hand, focuses on the wants of consumers. It begins with first analyzing the pre

39、ferences and demands of consumers and then producing goods that will satisfy them. This eye-on-the-consumer approach is known as the marketing concept, which simply means that instead of trying to sell whatever is easiest to produce or buy for resale, the makers and dealers first endeavor to find ou

40、t what the consumer wants to buy and then go about making it available for purchaseThis concept does not imply that business is benevolent(慈善的)or that consumer satisfaction is given priority over profit in a company. There are always two sides to every business transaction-the firm and the customera

41、nd each must be satisfied before trade occurs. Successful merchants and producers, however, recognize that the surest route to profit is through understanding and catering to customers. A striking example of the importance of catering to the consumer presented itself in mid-1985, when Coca Cola chan

42、ged the flavor of its drink. The nonacceptance of the new flavor by a significant portion of the public brought about a prompt restoration of the Classic Coke, which was then marketed alongside the new. King Customer ruled !46Before the marketing concept was accepted, the main concern of industriali

44、possible amount of goodsDto redesign these goods for largescale production48The marketing concept discussed in the passage is, in essence, _ .Athe customer-centered approachBa form of persuasive salesmanshipCmaking goods available for purchaseDthe practice of turning good s into money49What does the

45、 restoration of the Classic Coke best illustrate?ATraditional goods have a stronger appeal to the majority of people.BProducts must be designed to suit the taste of the consumer.CConsumers with conservative tastes are often difficult to please.DIt takes time for a new product to be accepted by the P

Beginning late Wednesday, computers in

47、 dozens of universities and on many military bases began running faster and faster, compiling huge quantities of useless data.Scientists at the Lawrence Livermore laboratory suspected a virus and shut their system down. At the University of California at Berkeley, academic research files also began

48、to fill with worthless data and at Stanford Research Institute, several computers based projects are now in danger of being attacked. One project that will now likely have to be scrapped is a multimillion dollar program being developed to test Defense Department software.All of the researchers say t

49、hey will be shutting down and isolating their computers from outside sources. They explain that the virus probably entered the computers by means of a network of telephone lines by which thousands of scientists all over the world share information. The virus is a program disguised as a message. Once

50、 in the computer, It takes over and gives the computer new instructions. It is believed the virus was entered into the computernetwork some lime ago and was programmed to trigger late Wednesday.At a research center in Mountain View, California, the virus was noticed late Wednesday night when it bega

The virus then occupied the computers central brains, preventing them from doing the tasks they should have been doing.The Pentagon says some of its information systems have also shown evidence of tampering, but the virus did not

52、 reach any classified or weapon system files. It now appears the FBI will launch an investigation to try to determine who or what has caused this information invasion.51What can be inferred from Paragraph 1 ?AThe virus is likely to do further damage to the computersBBetter and faster computers will

53、be developed soonCAll computer viruses can be wiped out in the near futureDThe detected virus has damaged all the data in the key institutions52The virus was not detected before it did damage to the computers because it_.Ahid itself in a diskBappeared in the form of a messageCovertook the central pr
