15、 while at work, studying or even at home. In my opinion, people who feel stressed should practice putting their minds at rest once in a while in order to wear down the stresses. For me, I bike very early in the morning for an hour and a half. This activity makes me feel more relaxed and ready to cop
16、e with all the stresses of the day. Its good for Tim to figure out how to be unaffected by his stressful work, for example, by doing a soothing activity before and after work. Speaker 2 I think Tim must escape more from work, because work is a very important source of stress. In Spanish we have a pr
17、overb that says something like this I sell advice, but I havent it for me. So, this case is the same for me, because I think that I need to escape from work but Im not able to do it and normally l feel stressed, nervous and with a big feeling of importance because I cant arrive to do all the things
18、which I have to do. Anyway I try to control my stress levels by doing sports, and usually I go biking twice a week. Speaker 3 I graduated from college but I work as a waitress. That made me feel disappointed for a long time. But now, I have changed. I think that knowing how to accept what we already
19、 have is the most important thing. If I were Tim, I wouldnt let myself be in a lot of trouble like that. In the relationship with his flat mate, he should try to live honestly, be caring to his friends. in his work, try to change attitude about it, maybe it would make him feel better. If he cant, fi
20、nd another job which is more interesting. And finally, he should find a close friend to confide all the things that make him upset. Speaker 4 Im a Primary teacher and I think its one of the most stressful jobs in the world. Every day is the same old dont do this, dont do that. It makes me feel exhau
21、sted! Therefore when I get home I really need to rest and forget all my problems. After work I might have a nap or I might watch TV. If I had more free time Id go for a long walk or read a novel. However I think I should meet with my friends more often, because bursting out laughing is the best way
22、to get relaxed and happier at once! Speaker 5 Id tell Tim: Do what youre able to do, calmly; dont think about too many things at the same time; dont mix everything such as customers, Sally and Jacks happiness and accounts. I cant help myself being stressed because life is full of reasons to be worri
23、ed, children, health, job, money. How can we manage them? Im afraid we cant. We have to be fatalistic and accept them.

27、o start their own business. For questions 23-30, mark one letter A, B or C for the correct answer. (如需获取本MP3听力录音请搜索标题名) 1. Why are there so many small businesses in the U. S. ?A.They provide about 80% of all new jobs.B.They start with a dream and little else.C.They have the Council of Smaller Enterp
28、rises.答案:A解析 23-30 President Bush says the key to a strong economy is the creation of more small businesses. But statistics show that most startups are doomed to fail. However, the experts agree that with planning and hard work a new company can beat the odds. we look into some tough questions about
29、 what it takes for businesses to successfully get off the ground. M1: There are over 25 million small businesses in the United States. They provide about 80% of all new jobs. Another reason they are valued is because they can eventually become major corporations employing thousands and investing in
30、the community. Most small businesses start off the same way, a person with a dream and little else. So whats the next step? There are private consultants, government agencies and educational institutions just waiting to hear from entrepreneurs. The Council of Smaller Enterprises, or COSE, is one of
31、them. Executive Director Steve Millard says the first thing would-be business owners need to do is ask themselves if they have the right stuff.M2: People dont often think of the fact that running a business is a lot different than working in a business. You have a lot more to consider and deal with,
32、 so the first step is to answer the following questions: Are you somebody who can be an entrepreneur? Are you motivated? Can you autonomous? Can you set goals for yourself and actually meet them? Can you afford to be in business for yourself? If you go into business for yourself, are you just going
33、to create a job for yourself thats worse than the situation youre in now?M1: Those are all questions Alma Alfonzo has asked herself. She owns this bakery near the West Side Market. Alfonzo opened the Lelolai Bakery a year ago, so there is still plenty of uncertainty. Its not like the old days when s
34、he had a high level corporate medical position. Alfonzo says running the bakery takes much more time and mental toughness than her old job.F1: The reality of a small business is that it takes courage, there is a lot of risk involved. Most of the time, its your own personal risk which you dont see wh
35、en you are working in the corporate world. Its somebody elses money. You know courage takes a lot of your energy. You wake up every morning with a depletion of energy as it relates to not knowing the things you are going to face in the day. As a new venture there are obvious surprises, you dont know
36、 what issues you are going to deal with.M1: Despite those feelings her strong desire is enough to overcome some of her doubts.M2: Hes the owner of Big Fun, a Cleveland Heights novelty and collectable shop that he started 11 years ago. He says if people really knew what they were getting into, there
37、would be fewer startups. I think most people that have that knowledge beforehand really dont open up businesses because when youre a sole proprietor, a self-owner of your own individual business you tend to spend much more time than you anticipate. When I first opened up with my father and I literal
38、ly worked every hour the store was open. Now Im fortunate enough to have good people working for me. And Im not here as much as I used to be. Im here often but I have the luxury of trusting my employees.M1: COSEs Steve Millard says that strong desire to see a product or service come to market is a m
39、ust.M2: People need to know this is something they feel like doing for twice as many hours as they are doing now, for probably half as much pay. They have enough passion and desire to do this work in business for themselves.M1: Another question future business owners need to ask is whether their fam
40、ily can survive the ordeal. Unless your spouse and children dont like you very much, the long hours are bound to take a toll on your marriage and relationship with your kids. Presser advises living close to where you set up shop.M2: Were fortunate to live two blocks from here. My kids grew up coming
41、 here. My wife has helped out. It has been a family business and so being part of the neighborhood has helped. If I traveled far I could see when the pressure lies, and there has been times she knows that, its going to be from the Christmas holiday season from Thanksgiving and New Years my hours inc
42、rease dramatically.M1: Bakery owner Alma Alfonzo says her husband has helped her from the planning stages forward and has his support. But her two young daughters are still adjusting to the demands of a life centered around selling cakes, cookies and sandwiches.F1: I think as long as you know bow to
43、 balance your family life with your work life. This is like having a new baby, that what I tell my daughters. You have to nurture it, take good care of it and so forth, but it doesnt mean that when you get a new baby in the house you ignore everybody else.M1: Its not just the lack of sleep and famil
44、y time a new business owner can look forward to. Finances are also strained. COSE officials say most business can expect to lose money for at least the first year for various reasons, including poor planning.M2: Whats their risk tolerance? What do they need to actually make at a minimum to maintain
45、a lifestyle they have to maintain? And what kind of financial cushion do they have to fall back upon? If you have a large family and you need to make $50,000, $60,000, $70,000 a year to support that family and youre the only source of income, it probably doesnt make sense to jump off a cliff and sta
46、rt a business right away that you are not sure is actually going to work.M1: But there are ways around an all or nothing business start. Millard says some types of ventures allow you to work from your home or on weekends until you test the waters and find out if there is a market for what you want t
47、o sell. He says the best tool for starting a new company is a well-written business plan. The document could make or break your company.2.
