Many young people would like to make a booth（货摊）to do business on the street in the name of entrepreneurship（创业精神）and sell lemon. It might seem like an easy sell-kids offering cool drinks. Some entrepreneurs offer their tips on how to make money from this.

Joe Mansueto, founder of the investment company Morningstar, sold lemonade as a kid. "You should always pay attention to customers," he said. "When somebody's walking down the street, get out from behind the booth, greet them, talk to them and just make friends with them to attract more customers."

However, his two sons decided to sell a different drink. When they were 8 and 10, his boys sold cocoa outside their home. The great thing about business is that there are really no rules. You can be creative and try something different, Mansueto said.

But it wasn't enough for US representative Mike Quigley and his older brother to sell drinks. They sold old books at the booth and would rent them out for customers to read while they enjoyed their drinks.

Adam Ochstein, founder of StratEx Partners, a human resources service company, gave frequent visitors cards which were printed with a lemon. Every five drinks, customers got one card which allowed them to pay less than half of the next drink. However, they didn't price the drinks. "If you want to give nothing, give nothing. If you want to give $2, give $2. I think we had let the adults give more money than they probably would like to, "Today, he suggests kids use social media for marketing. He said, "It can tell people where the booth is going to be and what unique specials you're running."

1.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A. How to set up a big company.

B. How to attract more customers.

C. How to make friends with others.

D. How to tell apart rich customers.

2.How did Mike Quigley make his booth different from the others?

A. By selling cocoa outside their home.

B. By renting used books to the customers.

C. By making friends with his customers.

D. By lending new books to his customers.

3.What advice about the booth does Ochstein give to kids?

A. Giving visitors free drinks

B. Giving visitors cards with a lemon

C. Taking advantage of social media

D. Allowing customers to pay less money

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. Street business B. Marketing fashion

Today, as with so many days, I found myself stuck in a traffic jam, and I thought I’d share my little trick for keeping calm when it seems like you are creeping along(缓慢行进).

The key to understand is that traffic jams don’t take as long as they seem to. It’s just that when we are in a hurry, and think we should be moving, but time appears to pass more than it does. To really show this, the next time you are stopped at a light that always seems to take forever to change, try to do something with your phone, your laptop, whatever you have available, and watch how much briefer the light seems.

When you enter a jam on the highway, reset your trip plan and care the time. Then, when you clear the jam, and are normally on your way again, care the distance of the jam, and the time it took to get through it. For my experience today, it took me 6 minutes to go 2 miles. Now, it happens to be mathematically convenient that your average speed on the highway is about 60 mph, or a mile per minute. So to estimate what time the jam actually cost you, just take your traffic jam passing time, and subtract（减去） the distance covered, which we know is a good estimate of the time it would have taken with no traffic jam. In my case, all that added up to 6-2=4 minutes.

Do this for every jam you are subjected to every time and watch how much less stressful they become once you understand how little time you are really losing.

1.We can infer from Paragraph 1 and 2 that ________.

A. there was no traffic jam in the past

B. modern people are under great pressure

  time passes much faster during traffic jams

D. people in traffic jams are usually impatient

2.What does the writer suggest when caught in traffic jams?

A. Playing a trick on other drivers.

B. Figuring out how much time the jam actually cost you.

  Doing some math problems.

D. Informing the boss about the delay.

3.The underlined phrase “subjected to” in the last paragraph probably means ________.

A. experience          B. avoid                 admit                     D. control

4. What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Math is closely connected with life.

B. Stress is always a bad thing.

  Traffic jam is not as bad as you think.

D. There is no use complaining about traffic jams.
