Reading Comprehension
Today, a high-level finance manager is just as likely to be a casual-looking
21-year-old as a balding executive. They have all either started their own companies
or head a division within an existing firm. Most are under 30. Many of them share
a tendency to think, speak and act fast. A detailed psychological study carried out
recently on young business start-uppers aged over 25 revealed some common
characteristics. The head psychologist at the University of Northumbria, Dr.
Martyn Dyer-Smith, says “We found that they are opportunists. They have that
entrepreneurial ability to take whatever is in front of them and turn it to their
advantage. Any fool can make US $ 2 if they are in the right place at the right time,
what is much harder is to actually plan their business. Originally I had a hypothesis
that they planned a long time ahead, but I was wrong. What came across was a
surprisingly short planning time. They took the opportunities as and when they came
up.” What cannot be underestimated, though, is self-confidence. “There is an
amazing, almost abnormal, belief in themselves and (they) go very much on
intuition.” Says Dyer-Smith. While there is no typical pattern to what puts
someone in the fast lane, there are some common threads: living up to the
expectations of parents, channeling excessive amounts of energy into business, or
finding a way to overcome personal barriers such as dyslexia (a reading disability) or
learning difficulties, for example. The biggest surprise was the lack of young
women. This was particularly unexpected, given the recent publicity about how girls
are performing better than boys at school and becoming more confident and ambitious.
But young women are opting for more secure careers rather than gambling with their
future. With only a handful of female role models, some girls are not even considering
being their own boss, let alone working on a concept fresh out of school, according to
Dr Susan Vinnicombe, director of the center for the Development of Women Business
Leader. “Women are going more into the corporate structure and doing well there. But
perhaps the reason that they are not doing business for themselves at an earlier age is
because women’s attitudes are different. They perceive risk in a different way to men,
who are not worried about borrowing huge amounts of money if it’s going to help
their business in the long term. Women are more cautious and more hesitant ,” she
says. Vinnicombe sees the lack of female entrepreneurs as part of a larger problem
about women and the IT industry. Given that the computer world is one of the key
areas for growth, where youth is an asset, it is “remarkable” that so many women are
missing out on it. “The number of women in IT has actually dropped in the past 10
years. There is a real problem with attracting them to the IT industry, as girls don’t
seem to want to do it at university. It’s become such a worrying issue that I know the
government is looking into ways to attract them.”
1． What is the passage mainly about?
A．Lack of young managers all over the world.
B．Features of high-level finance managers.
C．Origins of the decline in female-dominated industry.
D．Aims of a young woman fresh out of school.
正确答案：B
解析：本文主要涉及高层金融管理人员的特征。作者在本文中提到高层金融管理人员的许多特征：他们爱思考、爱说话、行动快捷，一有机会就不会放过，他们有很强的自信等。
2． Which of the following does not account for the success of the young
businessmen?
A．They never hesitate to take full advantage of the approaching opportunities.
B．They have a strong confidence in their own abilities.
C．They often base their work on long-term planning.
D．They deal well with their personal advantages.
正确答案：C
解析：C(They often base their work on long-term planning．他们往往长期规划自己的工作。)不是年轻企业家成功的原因。作者在第三段说，他原以为年轻的企业家作长远打算，但他错了。给他留下了这样深刻的印象：他们没有作长远规划，一有机会就抓。
3． What is suggested as a reason for the shortage of business women?
A．Girls do not perform so well as boys at school.
B．Most companies are reluctant to employ women.
C．Banks often refuse to give women large loans.
D．Women are very worried about the risk-taking in their careers.
正确答案：D
解析：缺少女企业家的原因是她们在从事自己的职业时不敢冒险。关于这一点，倒数第三段讲得最清楚。
4． From the text we can learn that ______.
A．some managers are very young but already have their own business.
B．some managers are as casual and irresponsible as energetic young people.
C．the government is concerned about the lack of women in such a field as IT.

The human nose is an underrated tool. Humans are often thought to be insensitive smellers compared with animals, 1 this islargely because, 2 animals ,we stand upright. This means that our noses are 3 to perceiving those smells which float throughthe air, 4 the majority of smells which stick to surfaces. In fact
5 , we are extremely sensitive to smells, 6 we do not generally realize it. Our noses are capable of 7 human smells evenwhen these are 8 to far below one part in one million.
Strangely, some people find that they can smell one type of flower but not another, 9 others are sensitive to the smells of bothflowers. This may be because some people do not have the genes necessary to generate 10 smell receptors in the nose.These receptors are the cells which sense smells and send 11 to the brain. However, it has been found that even peopleinsensitive to a certain smell 12 can suddenly become sensitive to it when 13 to it often enough.
