Today, Americans are still fond of trying their hand at becoming small business people, even though only one out of two survives the first two years. Many of these people start their businesses for the wrong reasons: to get away from the paper work of their present jobs or to exchange the responsibility of their present jobs for freer life styles. But more, not less, paper work and responsibility come with ownership of a small business. John Shuttleworth, owner of the recently successful life-ecology news magazine Mother Earth, reports having had to work sixty hours straight in order to bring out the first issue.
John Shuttleworth waited years after conceiving the idea for Mother Earth before he attempted to put out the first issue. During that time, he collected as much information as he could about his proposed venture. He borrowed books about business from the library; he talked to people already established in the field; and he began planning in detail the amount of money and the kinds and numbers of supplies he would need. When he finally opened with a capital of $1,500, he set up his office in the kitchen of his home and his printing press in the garage. Due to his devotion to business his managerial skill, and his talent, Mother Earth now has a circulation of 300,000:
Not all small business succeed as well as Mother Earth has. Fifty percent of the 450,000 that start in the United States every year fail. Still, ninety-five percent businesses in the States can be described as small. Combined, these businesses account for forty percent of America's gross national product.
According to this passage, many people start their own businesses for the wrong reasons. The reasons are wrong because they do not realize that ______.
A．their own businesses will provide large income but less responsibility
B．their own businesses will not relieve them from paper work and responsibility
C．their own businesses will require longer working hours but less paper work
D．their own businesses could easily fail
When Williams wanted to put on his boots, he would murmur" boots" and within seconds the dog would drop them at his feet. At nine every morning, Prince ran off to the general store in the village, returning shortly not only with Williams ' daily paper but with a half-ounce packet of Williams' favorite tobacco, John Rainey's Mixed. A gun dog by breed, Prince possessed a large soft mouth specially evolved for the safe carrying of hunted creatures, so the paper and the tobacco came to no harm, never even showing a tooth mark.
Williams was a railway man, an engine driver, and he wore a blue uniform. which smelled of oil and oil fuel. He had to work at odd times—"days" , "late days" or" nights". Over the years Prince got to know these periods of work and rest, knew when his master would leave the house and return, and the dog did not waste this knowledge. If Williams overslept, as he often did, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke, much to the annoyance of the family. On his return, Williams'slippers were brought to him, the paper and tobacco too if previously under livered.
A curious thing happened to Williams during the snow and ice of last winter. One evening he slipped and fell on the icy pavement somewhere between the village and his home. He was so badly shaken that he stayed in bed for three days; and not until he got up and dressed again did he discover that he had lost his wallet containing over fifty pounds. The house Was turned upside down in the search, but the wallet was not found. However, two days later — that was five days after the fall — Prince dropped the wallet into William's hand. Very muddy, stained and wet through, the little case still contained fifty three pounds, Williams' driving license and a few other papers. Where the dog had found it no one could tell, but found it he had and recognized it probably by the faint oily smell on the worn leather.
How did the dog perform. his duties？
A．He was delighted to show them off.
B．He did his test but was not often successful.
C．He did them quickly to get them over.
D．He had few opportunities to do them.

He went over his instructions in his mind. The agent would appear at four o' clock. He would chat to Lane for a while, after which he would get up, leaving his newspaper behind. The plan would be fastened inside.
A distant clock began to strike the hour. As if from nowhere, a man appeared and sat down be side Lane, placing his newspaper on the seat between them. He was thin and middle-aged, and seemed in need of a good meat. He bored no resemblance to Lane' s idea of a successful spy. His conversation, confined to trivial observations about the weather, was painfully uninteresting.
A few minutes later he got up and continued on his way. Large picked up the paper which laid on the bench, as if he wanted to look at the news. He was excited to see the plans pinned to the center page. At that moment, however, there was a strong wind which lifted the newspaper into the air, like a kite, and blew it into the river.
Lane ______.
A．memorized his orders
B．recited his orders
C．tried to remember his orders
D．repeated his orders himself
