1、Next morning, four words from the book--- “take the long view” --- were still in my mind.At my desk, I had a long-view look at my problems.Once more, super-slow reading had given me not only pleasure but perspective, and helped me in my everyday affairs.I discovered its worth years ago … Previously, if I had not been really interested in a book, I would race from page to page, eager to know what came next.Now, I decided, I had to become a miser(吝啬鬼,守财奴)with words and stretch(拉伸,拖延)every sentence like a poor man spending his last dollar.I had started with the practical object of making my book last.But by the end of the second week I began to realize how much I was getting from super-slow-reading itself.Sometimes just a particular phrase caught my attention, sometimes a sentence.I would read it slowly, analyze it, read it again --- perhaps changing down into an even lower gear(速度,变速)--- and then sit for 20 minutes thinking about it before moving on.I was like a pianist studying a piece of music, phrase by phrase, rehearsing(演练,彩排)it, trying to discover and recreate exactly what the composer (作曲家)was trying to convey(表达).

3. Passage Thirty-OneAdam Smith was the first person to see the importance of the division of labor.He gave us an example of the process by which pins were made in England.“One man draws out the wire, another strengthens it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, and a fifth gives it a head.Just to make the head requires two or three different operations.The work of making pins is divided into about eighteen different operations, which in some factories are all performed by different people, though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them.”Ten men, Smith said, in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4,800 pins a worker.But if all of them had worked separately and independently without division of labor, they certainly could not have made twenty pins in a day and not even one.There can be no doubt that division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work.Fewer people can make more pins.Adam Smith saw this, but he also took it for granted that division of labor is itself responsible for economic growth and development and it accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still.But division of labor adds nothing new, it only enables people to produce more of what they already have.Adam Smith mentioned the number 4,800 in order to ().

37. Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Most of us in the entrepreneurial community are blessed — or cursed — with higher-than-average ambition.Ambitious people strongly desire accomplishments and are willing to take more risks and spend more effort to get them.Overall, this is a positive quality, especially for people trying to build their own businesses.Apparently, if you’re more naturally driven to set goals, you are more likely to succeed.Actually, this isn’t always the case.In fact, in some cases, extreme ambition may end up doing more harm than good.One major side effect of excessive ambition is the tendency to focus too determinedly on one particular vision or end goal.This is problematic because it hinders your ability to adapt to new circumstances, which is vital if you want to be a successful entrepreneur.If a new competitor emerges to threaten your business, you may need to change direction, even if that means straying from your original vision.If you have too much ambition, you’ll find this hard, if not impossible.Few people are successful when they try to build their first brand.Unfortunately, for the most ambitious entrepreneurs, a failure is seen as disastrous, and impossible to recover from.It’s a clear departure from the intended plan toward the intended goal.For people with limited ambition, however, failure is viewed as something closer to reality.Remember, failure is inevitable, and every failure you survive is a learning experience.Ambitious people tend to be more materialistically successful than their non-ambitious counterparts.However, they’re only slightly happier than their less-ambitious counterparts, and tend to live significantly shorter lives.This implies that even though ambitious people are more likely to achieve conventional “success,” such success means nothing for their health and happiness—and if you don’t have health and happiness, what else could possibly matter?Clearly, some amount of ambition is good for your motivation.Without any ambition, you wouldn't start your own business, set or achieve goals and get far in life.But an excess of ambition can also be dangerous, putting you at risk of burnout, stubbornness and even a shorter life.What does the author imply by saying “this isn’t always the case” (Line 1, Para.3)?
A. Ambitious people may not have a greater chance of success.
B. Ambitious people may not have more positive qualities.
C. Entrepreneurs’ ambition does as much good as harm.
D. Entrepreneurs are more naturally driven to success.

5. Passage Thirty-TwoHave you ever heard of a pawpaw (木瓜)? If not, do not feel bad.Many Americans do not know of the fruit, although it is native to the U.S.Once, however, it was one of the most popular fruits in North America.Happily, those who love the pawpaw are trying to return it to its former position in American foods.A pawpaw is a tropical fruit that used to be grown along the East Coast from New York to Florida and all over the eastern U.S.At one time, it could be found as far west as Nebraska.The pawpaw was an important food for Native Americans and even early European settlers.Pawpaws reportedly were a favorite treat of George Washington, the first U.S.president, who especially liked them cold.Thomas Jefferson, the third U.S.president, was also a fan of the fruit.He planted pawpaws at his home in Virginia.He also sent pawpaw seeds to his friends in France.American explorers Lewis and Clark wrote in their journals about the pawpaw.The pawpaw is difficult to be sold commercially.The fruit requires a very special environment—low, wet areas that sometimes flood.It has a very short harvest season, from two to three weeks in September and October.In addition, the fruit is good to eat for only two to three days after harvesting.This makes it hard to sell anywhere distant from the pawpaw tree it comes from.Planters are again growing pawpaw trees and harvesting the fruit.In several states farmers have organized “pawpaw festivals” to reintroduce people to food.At such a festival in Maryland recently, farmers displayed different products made with pawpaws, like pawpaw jams, pies, ice-cream and beer.Pawpaw festivals are organized in some states ().
