Scientists and
environmentalists have reached a growing agreement that time
is running out for Planet Earth.
The polar ice caps are melting. One in eight bird species are
extinct. Air, water, and ground pollutants are &&41&
population centers…
But according to a
recently &&42&
&book, there is “a
secret plan to save the Earth.” This plan is being carried out by a
group of “eco barons.”
Who are “eco barons”
then? They are a band of visionaries () — some of the world’s wealthiest
businessmen — who are using their wealth, their energy, their fame,
and their&&
law and science to persuade the world to take a new &&44&
the Earth. These people, both men and women, are the modern-day
heroic counterparts
() to the evil 19th century robber

Bill Gates and Warren
Buffet are among the eco businessmen. These two wise investors,
who regularly exchange places at the
top of Forbes magazine’s annual list of world billionaires, have
spent some of their &&46&
different areas. Gates has long sponsored &&47&
&fuels such
as oil from algae
(), while in Buffet’s case, it’s wind
power and electric cars.
Douglas Tompkins, the
founder of the North Face and Esprit clothing lines, has also
embraced environmentalism. He was always an outdoor adventurer — he
would &&48&
&disappear
for months-long trips to the forests of South America — so when he
burned out in the business world, Tompkins took his fortune, worth
hundreds of millions of dollars, and began steadily buying acre after acre

Chile. Tompkins and his wife have obtained more than two million
acres for conservation in Chile.

I replied. ‘My car could have broken down anywhere along the

wide, and then she smiled. I smiled back and headed for class.” So
ended my story.

Retirement is frightening. It
is a new, uncertain journey — at a time when peace in life is
treasured. Personal financial security is a powerful motivator to
keep control of the business. The inability to “let go” is even more
difficult for those who founded their businesses at a time of
unemployment or family poverty.
For many who build
successful enterprises, their business is their identity. It is
said of one woman business owner, still in control in her 90s, that
“work is her oxygen.” Some entrepreneurs
started their businesses at least in part to prove
themselves to former bosses who had rejected or doubted them. We
find that they cling to their creations more strongly than
For these reasons and
others, too many business founders refuse to retire. They insist
that only they are capable of running the business. Jealousy or
insecurities relating to declining power generate interpersonal
conflicts that spoil succession () planning or even the performance of
potential successors.
If an executive has not quite
achieved what he had hoped, he often wants the opportunity to stay
in the game. Rather than a graceful transition, the succession
process can become a war. The parties to such a combat, however,
should remember Winston Churchill’s warning to the House of
Commons: “If we open a quarrel between the past and the present, we
shall find that we have lost the future.”
Fortunately, many business
owners manage to face succession planning — courageously, openly,
and early. And because entrepreneurial succession is perhaps the
most critical issue for family-business continuity, we’re keenly
interested in the makeup and background of those who
Our conclusion: It’s all a
matter of outlook or attitude. Business owners who can plan
succession and who can let go don’t come necessarily from larger or
smaller businesses. They don’t come from businesses that are more
or less fragile or that require more or less hands-on involvement.
They don’t necessarily even have more or less qualified successors
to whom they can turn over their creations. They just have a
different outlook or attitude toward the subject. For them, the
glass is half full, not half empty.
72. The underlined expression
“let go” means
A. to dismiss the successor&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
B. to close the business
C. to explore another field&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
D. to pass the business to the successor
73. What makes some of the
business owners willing to retire?&
A. Their family background.&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
B. The scale of their business.
C. Their attitude towards retirement.&&&&&&&&&&&&
D. The ability of their successor.
74. According to the passage,
people with the sound attitude to retirement think that
________.&
A. old people are certain to rest
B. retirement means new opportunities and new life
C. as business owners, they are most important to the
D. their business was bought as part of
management
75. The author’s purpose of
writing this passage is ________.&
A. to make clear the widespread beliefs held by those who cannot
conclude succession planning
B. to offer some practical tips to those who are not able to cope
with fear of retirement
C. to urge society and the individual to take retirement more
D. to illustrate the
different attitudes toward retirement in different
situations

A-F for each paragraph. There is one
extra heading which you do not need.
By the 1950s many American
families owned television sets. During television’s first 20 years,
deaf people missed most of the fun. They could not hear what was
being said and had to guess. Deaf people who watched television
liked sports and action shows, but they were disappointed with
other programs. If there was a lot of dialogue, deaf viewers
couldn’t follow the plot. Even the most skilled lip-readers could
only catch part of the talking. This frustrated many deaf
In the late 1960s, a man
started experimenting. Malcom Norwood thought that deaf people
could enjoy television programs, too. He wanted to develop captions
for the programs. Norwood worked for the federal government’s Media
Services and Captioned Films Division at the Bureau of Education of
the Handicapped.
many hearing Americans. He wanted to see how they felt about seeing
captions on the television screen. Too many people were against the
idea. Norwood realized he had to develop another way of
captioning-one that would not bother hearing
In October of 1971, Norwood’s
office signed a contract with WGBH-TV, a public television station
in Boston. WGBH was hired to experiment with captions. They agreed
to make a captioned television program for Norwood. That program
was made. It was shown on television and at a special convention.
The type of captions made by WGBH could be seen on any television.
No special equipment was needed. These were called “open
captions”.
Later, a new machine
was invented. This device was made to send signals on a special
part of the television picture. The signals could be captions. If a
family had another kind of machine in their home or in their TV
set, then the captions (or signals) would appear on their
television screen. Without the machine, no captions would be seen.
That special machine is called a decoder. It receives the signals
transmitted from the television station. Captions that require a
decoder are called “closed captions”.
