42.

With fewer choices in the job market and no opportunity in the stock market, people will naturally start to consider a business launch. Just 15 years ago, that meant renting office space or a storefront. Not any more. A home-based business is perfectly respectable now. It’s even coveted. The home business is accurately perceived as offering more personal freedom than the out-of-home launch that comes with the strings of large capital investment and staff management.

We can thank the last major down cycle for taking the stigma out of home enterprises. The early-to-mid 1980s saw corporations laying off white-collar workers for the first time. In earlier down cycles, white-collar workers were immune to layoffs as companies trimmed blue-collar manufacturing jobs. The laid-off

white-collar workers became consultants and worked from home. Suddenly the home enterprise was legitimate. Running a company from your spare bedroom no longer meant you spent your day holding Mary Kay and Tupperware parties.

The Internet increased the allure of the home-based start-up. Most shoestring e-biz companies begin in the home, whether the company trades in products or services. For a small Net-based business, there is little reason to rent offices. Besides, statistics from the Small Business Administration (SBA) strongly suggest your odds for success are greater if you launch from home.

The SBA has found that 52 to 55 percent of all businesses are no longer active after five years. For those companies launched and grown in the home, the failure rate is 45 to 48 percent after five years. Placing your business in your home gives you a slightly better than even chance for survival. The improved odds most likely have to do with the lower overhead of a home-based business.

With a soft economy and a growing number of laid-off workers who will naturally consider a business start-up when they discover their job prospects are dim, this is not the best time to launch a new enterprise. But a home business start-up boom is likely in process right now. It’s not because of opportunity; it’s because of desire. [共5题]

(D) investing large sum of money into the business 你选择的答案：未选择 [错误] 正确答案：B

(2) According to the passage, when will people consider a business launch? (A) when there are fewer choices in the job market and no opportunity in the stock market.

(B) when they think their job futureless.

(3) According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true? (A) Blue-collar workers had been laid off in earlier down cycles.

In 2002, Ismail convinced Wyman to launch a new business – called PubSub – based on an idea that Wyman says he had been mulling for two decades: a Web search engine that would flag future references to certain search criteria, such as earthquake notifications or Securities and Exchange Commission filings. The key selling point was immediacy: While Google Alerts and other systems ran periodic checks for new related content, Wyman’s program notified users the instant a reference appeared. In theory, PubSub would make money by running searches on behalf of companies, or by licensing its technology for private use.

Wyman, now 53, and Ismail, 41, kicked in a combined 250,000(Ismail’s200,000 represented his entire net worth). The friendly entrepreneurs seemed off to a good start. Their technology worked, and, thanks to Ismail’s contacts, the company soon raised

Then came the conflict. Wyman says Ismail wasn’t willing to dilute his ownership stake to raise more capital, while Ismail says that Wyman was too prickly and impetuous for investors to work with. Things really got messy when a well-funded company called KnowNow, which sells information-tracking services, inquired about a potential merger. Ismail thought the company’s weak cash position would lead to a lowball offer; Wyman, on the other hand, thought the two companies would be a good

Meanwhile, Ismail, who resigned from Pub ub’s board last March, says he is in the process of starting up three Internet companies, and that recruiters are knocking down his door. Wyman says he is looking for work but would like to keep Pub ub alive. “This is one of the most painful experiences I’ve gone through in my life,” he says. “ econd only to my divorce.” [共5题]

Mary Engelbreit was a talented but struggling artist in her mid-twenties when she flew to New York from her native Saint Louis, hoping to find work illustrating children's books — her life’s goal. o she was disappointed when all the book publishers she visited turned her down. One even suggested her drawings might be better suited to greeting cards.

Then she decided to give it a try, which transformed her life forever. After that, Engelbreit sent a sample of her drawings to two greeting-card companies. One bought three of her original drawings, and she did occasional work for the other, sketching a lot of whales, dragons, castles and mythical animals. Then in 1980 the birth of her son added a new element to her work. “ uddenly everyday life seemed more interesting to me,” she says. Children, pets, even “good old Mom” started showing up on her cards.

Once you know Engelbreit’s distinctive style, you can recognize her cards from 20 paces away — bright, funny, and with an eye to the past. Her cards usually have elaborate border designs comprised of repeated images: hearts, flowers, peaches, and teapots, for example. “I think the world could use more cuteness,” she explains. “As the world gets more complicated, it’s nice to have old-fashioned stuff around to help people cope with the demands of modern life. It’s like comfort food. This is comfort art.”

While eight months pregnant, in 1983, Engelbreit decided to start her own company. Within two years, her company was producing nearly 100 different cards and selling a million of them a year. In 1986 she licensed the copyrights to the cards to Sunrise Publications, who now manages their production and distribution, allowing her to focus on other projects. Among these is her home-decorating magazine which is sent to 550,000 people.

Today Mary Engelbreit sells an amazing 14 million greeting cards a year. Her popular designs appear on more than 2,000 products, including books, calendars, and kitchen items. She runs a retail company with shops in nine cities (16 more are planned), and her products are carried by 25,000 retailers. Annual retail sales are in the 100millionran≥.

[共5题]

(1) Which of the following was expected by Mary Engelbreit during her trip to New York?

Nothing says love like a dozen long-stemmed roses on Valentine’s Day. “Red roses say ‘I love you’,” says Gerald Hager, executive director of a marketing research institute. For rose growers, rose distributors and rose sellers, this year’s anticipated % increase in sales will be sweeter than a box of chocolate candy. Rose is still red. But selling is no longer a beautiful experience for traditional flower shops. Supermarkets now offer convenience to the busy. And discount rose shops help those hopelessly in love save money.

Roses Only is a good example of a discount rose retailer that was transformed from a traditional shop to answer the challenge in the 1990s. Except for today, prices range from 6foradozenshort-stems→19 for a dozen of its longest stems. The company, its headquarters in New York, has three stores in New York, one in Canada and five in Spain. It plans to expand to three more U.S. cities this year.

The company’s formula for success is to hold prices down by controlling every link in the rose chain. It grows its own roses in the sunshine of the Andes Mountains(安第斯山脉) near the capital of Ecuador(厄瓜多尔). Fresh roses are sprayed with water to keep them moist and flown to company stores three times a week. The New York stores sell about 45,000 stems a week, along with other things like balloons and stuffed animals. Roses Only can arrange delivery by overnight mail to anywhere in the country. While discount rose retailers watch their business bloom, U.S. rose growers are going bankrupt in severe foreign competition. Today, more than 57% of roses sold in the USA are grown in other countries. The biggest foreign producers are Colombia(哥伦比亚) and Ecuador, accounting for almost 90% of the total imported last year. Imported roses are sold across the entire breadth of the country, from big flower shops to street-corner stands. The trend has hurt domestic rose growers. All the changes are making some in the rose business long for the good old days. [共5题]
