Girls generally speak earlier and read faster. The reason may be 38 females use

Bum rate is the speed at which a startup business consumes money. My rate would
be $ 50,000 a month when my new media company started. So, I began looking around
for individuals who would be my first investors. “Angel money” it was called. But when I
reviewed my list of acquaintances to find those who might be able to help, I found the
number got small.
With no other choices, I began meeting with the venture-capital companies. But I
was warned they took a huge share of your company for the money they put in. And if
you struggled, they could drop you cold.
As I was searching for “angel money”, I started to build a team who trusted me
even though I didn't have money for paychecks yet.
Bill Becker was an expert in computer programming and image processing at a very
famous Media Lab at M. I.T. With his arrival, my company suddenly had a major
technology “guy” in-house.
Katherine Henderson, a filmmaker and a former real-estate dealer, joined us as our
director of market research. Steve White came on as operating officer. He had worked
for the developer of a home-finance software, Quicken. We grabbed him.
We had some really good people, but we still didn't have enough money. One night,
my neighbor, Louise Johnson, came for a visit. She and I were only nodding
acquaintances, but her boys and ours were constant companions. She ran a very good
business at the time.
Louise was brilliant and missed nothing. She had been watching my progress
closely. She knew I was dying for money and I had prospects but could offer no
guarantees of success.
She told me that her attorney had talked to mine and the terms had been agreed
upon. She handed me an envelope. Inside was a check for $ 500,000.
I almost fell down. I heard her voice as if from heaven.
“I have confidence in your plan,” she said. “You' 11 do well. You're going to work
hard for it, but it' s satisfying when you build your own company.”
Who would have thought I'd find an angel so close to home? There were no words
sufficient for the moment. We just said good night. She left and I just stood there,
completely humbled and completely committed.
46. For a newly-established business, bum rate refers to___________.
[ A ] the salary it pays to its staff
[ B ] the interest it pays to the bank
[ C ] the way in which it raises capital
[ D ] the speed at which it spends money
47. By "Angel money", the author refers to__________.
[ A ] the money borrowed from banks
[ B ] the money spent to promote sales
[ C ] the money raised from close friends
[ D ] the money needed to start a business
48. To get help from a venture-capital company, you may have to__________.
[ A ] put up with unfair terms
[ B ] change your business line
[ C ] enlarge your business scope
[ D ] let them operate your business
49. The author easily built a team for his company because__________.
[ A ] they were underpaid at their previous jobs
[ B ] they were turned down by other companies
[ C ] they were confident of the author and his business
[ D ] they were satisfied with the salaries in his company
50. Louise decided to lend money to the author because__________.
[ A ] she wanted to join his company
[ B ] she knew he would build a team
[ C ] she knew his plan would succeed
[ D ] she wanted to help promote his sales

Nearly all “speed reading” courses have a “pacing” element--some timing device
which lets the student know how many words a minute he is reading. You can do this
simply by looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and noting down the page
number you have reached. Check the average number of words per page for the
particular book you are reading. How do you know when 5 minutes has passed on your
watch if you are busy reading the book? Well, this is difficult at first. A friend can help
by timing you over a set period, or you can read within hearing distance of a pub-lic
clock which strikes the quarter hours. Pace yourself every three or four days, always
with the same kind of easy, general interest books. You should soon notice your
accustomed w. p.m. rate creeping up.
Obviously there is little point in increasing your w. p. m. rate if you do not
understand what you are reading. When you are consciously trying to increase your
reading speed, stop after every chapter ( if you are reading a novel) or every section or
group of ten or twelve pages ( if it is a text-book) and ask yourself a few questions
about what you have been reading. If you find you have lost the thread of the story, or
you cannot remember clearly the details of what was said, reread the section or
chapter.
You can also try “lightning speed” exercise from time to time. Take four or five
pages of the general interest book you happen to be reading and read them as fast as
you possibly can. Do not bother about whether you understand or not. Now go back and
read them at what you feel to be your "normal" w. p. m. rate, the rate at which you can
comfortably understand. After a ‘lightning speed' reading through (probably 600 w. p.
m. ) you will usually find that your “normal” speed has increased-perhaps. by as much
as 50-100 w. p.m. This is the technique sportsmen use when they usually run further in
training than they will have to on the day of the big race.
51. According to the passage, a “pacing” device_________.
[ A ]is used to time student' s reading speed
[ B ]is. not used in most, speed reading courses
[ C ] is used as .an aid to vocabulary learning
[ D ] should be used whenever we read alone
52. In speed reading, looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes_________.
[ A ] avoids the need for reading faster
[ B ] is not the same as pacing
[ C ] may seem unworkable at first
[ D ] helps you to remember your page number
53. When you are reading a novel, you should check your understanding of the
content after_______.
[ A ] every chapter
[ B ] every section
[ C ] every four or five pages
[ D ] every ten or twelve pages
54. The purpose of the “lightning speed” exercise is to_________.
[ A ] increase your speed by scanning the text first
[ B ] test your maximum reading speed
[ C ] help you understand more of the content of the book
[ D ] enable you to win reading races against your friends
55. The best title for this passage would be_________.
[ A ] Hints for Successful Reading
[ B ] Hints for Speed Reading
[ C ] Effective Reading
[ D ] Lightning Speed Exercises

There is one difference between the sexes on which virtually every expert and study
agree: men are more aggressive than women. It shows up in 2-year-olds. It continues
through school days and persists into adulthood. It is even constant across cultures. And
there is little doubt that it is rooted in biology in the male sex hormone testosterone.
If there's a feminine trait that's the counterpart of male aggressiveness, it's what social
scien-tists awkwardly refer to as "nurturance". Feminists have argued that the nurturing
nature of women is not biological in origin, but rather has been drummed into women
by a society that wanted to keep them in the home. But the signs that it is at least
partly inborn are too numerous to ignore. Just as tiny infant girls respond more readily
to human faces, female toddlers learn much faster than males how to pick up nonverbal
cues from others. And grown women are far more adept than men at interpreting facial
expressions: A recent study by University of Pennsylvania brain researcher Ru-ben Gur
showed that they easily read emotions such as anger, sadness and fear. The only such
e-motion men could pick up was disgust.
What difference do such differences make in the real world? Among other things,
women appear to be somewhat less competitive--or at least competitive in different
ways--than men. At the Harvard Law School, for instance, female students enter with
credentials just as outstanding as those of their male peers. But they don' t qualify for
the prestigious Law Review in proportionate numbers, a fact some school officials
attribute to women' s discomfort in the incredibly competitive atmosphere.
Students of management styles have found fewer differences than they expected
between men and women who reach leadership positions, perhaps because many
successful women deliberately imitate masculine ways. But an analysis by Purdue social
psychologist Alice Eagly of 166 studies of leadership style did find one consistent
difference: Men tend to be more “autocratic”-making decisions on their own--while
women tend to consult colleagues and subordinates more often. Studies of behavior in
small groups turn up even more differences. Men will typically domi-nate the discussion,
