Jerry turned the key in the heavy lock and put it calmly in his pocket．He did so much more from caution than from any kind of fear．This was the only entrance to the house，and he did not want to be caught by any danger from outside．He wondered if David Jackson had been as careful the night before．Though David would be away for at least three days，Jerry had a strange feeling of his nearness．In the stillness he seemed to hear David’s voice．He looked around quickly，for the tricks of hearing were the most realistic of all．But there were only the women．It seemed impossible that David should not be there．

The girl，carrying a smoky oil lamp，led Jerry upstairs．He threw open one after another the doors along the passage．At this，the girl stopped and raised the lamp in each doorway，staring at him at the same time．Satisfied he was the only guest，Jerry came to the last door，which the girl threw open herself．

“You sleep here，sir，”she said，giving him the lamp．“Your friend sleep here，too．It is our most comfortable bed．”

“Good night，miss，”he said politely．

Her lips moved in reply，but he did not catch the words．Her eyes never for a moment left his face．He stepped in and as he turned to close the door，she was still standing there motionless．He paused，and in the silence，he thought he again heard the sound of David’s voice．The sound terrified him now，not only because it seemed much nearer，but also because he imagined a note of warning it．

1．We know from the passage that David Jackson           ．

A．had left the house three days before

B．had felt quite as suspicious（疑心的）as Jerry

C．had stayed in the house for three days

D．had slept in the house the night before

2．Jerry was surprised when he turned around because           ．

A．David was not there

B．he had not expected to find Tom there

C．there was no danger behind him

D．the women were there

3．Why did Jerry look inside each room?

A．Because he wanted to choose the best room for himself．

B．Because he was looking for David Jackson．

C．Because the girl wanted him to examine each of the rooms．

D．Because he wished to make sure there was no one inside．

4．Although Jerry politely wished the girl good night，           ．

A．she gave him a rude answer                  B．she did not leave him

C．she refused to look at him              D．she said nothing to him

In a country that defines itself by ideals, not by shared blood, who should be allowed to come to work and live here? In the wake of the Sept．11 attacks these questions have never seemed more pressing．

    On Dec．11, 2001, as part of the effort to increase homeland security, federal and local authorities in 14 states staged “Operation Safe Travel”---raids on airports to arrest employees with false identification．In Salt Lake City there were 69 arrests．But those captures were anything but terrorists, most of them illegal immigrants from Central or South America．Authorities said the undocumented workers’ illegal status made them open to blackmail（訛詐）by terrorists．

     Many immigrants in Salt Lake City were angered by the arrests and said they felt as if they were being treated like disposable goods．Mayor Anderson said those feelings were justified to a certain extent．“We’re saying we want you to work in these places, we’re going to look the other way in terms of what our laws are, and then when it’s convenient for us, or when we can try to make a point in terms of national security, especially after Sept．11, then you’re disposable．They are whole families being uprooted for all of the wrong reasons,” Anderson said．

     If Sept．11 had never happened, the airport workers would not have been arrested and could have gone on quietly living in America, probably indefinitely．Ana Castro, a manager at a Ben & Jerry’s ice cream shop at the airport had been working 10 years with the same false Social Security card when she was arrested in the December airport raid．Now she and her family are living under the threat of deportation（驅(qū)逐出境）．Castro’s case is currently waiting to be settled．While she awaits the outcome, the government has granted her permission to work here and she has returned to her job at Ben & Jerry’s．

3.Scott: How does an entrepreneur make use of his/her advantages?

4.Anna: Why do successful entrepreneurs seem to enjoy their work?

5.David: What attitude should an entrepreneur have toward his/her social responsibilities?

A

Sheri Poe

Ryka Inc.

Since I started this company in my kitchen seven years ago. I always dreamt of what it would be some day. Focusing on that goal helps me get through tough times .To get the kind of success that you want, you need to dream big .That’s the starting point, Every success story begins with big dreams. You need to have big dreams for yourself, like being somebody rich, famous or fulfilled .You need to have a clear goal of what you want to achieve.

Also, I think it’s really important that the people you’re working with are as committed to the same goal as you are, so you can support each other and keep each other energetic.

B

Anita Roddick

The Body Shop Inc.

In America, we have a shop in Harlem where 50 percent of the profits go into the community development, and the other 50 percent go toward the funding of a similar shop elsewhere in the United States. The pride that shop brings to the staff and local people inspired me.

What The Body Shop does successfully is use our facilities in the street and shopping centers to talk about real human issues like AIDS. recycling, human rights, and community service or to encourage people to speak out against anything they consider to be unjust. Knowing our products are symbols of social change is really encouraging.

C

Ben Cohen

Ben &Jerry’s Homemade Inc.

I’m energized by the people I work with. I’m very relationship-driven, which a think is different from most entrepreneurs. I’m inspired by doing things that are not normal and that most people think don’t fit into the business world or don’t make any sense.

In business, you are judged by the company you keep—from your management team, board of directors, and strategic partners. Maybe the lady you met in a trade association meeting can help you secure funding, or the gentleman at a conference can provide you with management advice.

D

Richard Melman

Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises

A. number of years ago, I was interviewed by someone who was writing a book on enterprises. He asked me. ”What’s the opposite of work?” I answered. ”Lazy” He started laughing and said, ” Believe it or not, a lot of entrepreneurs say the same thing.”

The average person thinks the opposite of work is play, but to an entrepreneur, work is play. I think it all adds up to having fun. it’s fun to create; it’s fun to entertain, and it’s fun to make people happy with our service. When it stops being fun. I’ll stop doing it.

E

Frank Toskan

Make-Up Art Cosmetics（M.A.C）

One of the nicest things anyone ever said to me was, “I hate makeup, but I love M.A.C.” That’s what moves me on. Even people who don’t wear makeup can appreciate our company, what it stands for, its values, and the way we do business.

We work from an inverted pyramid, where the customers are always at the top, Our customers inspire me and keep me going. They and our staff, not money, make me enthusiastic. If I had stayed in this business just for the money, I would have closed down years ago.

F

Kenneth Cole

Kenneth Cole Productions Inc.

You can’t be everything to everybody. Each of us has our own strengths and weaknesses. To be effective, you need to identify your strengths and concentrate on them, you’ll become more successful if you are able to channel your efforts to areas that you do best. In business, for example, if you know you are good at marketing, then give, I full play. Seek help or assistance in areas that you may be poor at, such as accounting or bookkeeping. To turn your weakness into strength, consider taking hands-on learning or training.
