Passage 2

Being your own boss is the dream of most people, but it comes with a price. Since you do not have to answer to someone else, you have to be responsible for your own business. In this sense, the business becomes the new boss. Here are some tips for you to observe.

Work-life balance: Staring a business will consume a lot of time and energy. Not letting the business prevent you from having personal time is a challenge. The failure to manage a work-life balance can lead to health problems and lost relationships with family and friends.

Making decisions: Since you are the owner, you have the final decision. This can be a tough challenge because you know that you alone have to bear the consequences of your decisions.

Self-doubt and criticism: In the beginning, customers and competitors will not take you seriously. Everyone will be quick to share their opinions on what you are doing wrong and why it will not work.

With all this, self-doubt will start to occur. Maybe they are all right. Maybe starting this business was a bad idea. If you have done your homework, this is the moment to overcome the fear of failure and have the confidence in yourself to keep going.

Passage 3

When people move from one city or country to another, the spread of diseases may result. People often bring in germs (病菌) that may not have been present there before. These new germs can spread quickly and cause previously unknown diseases. If a germ is completely new to a region, people who already live there have no natural protection against it. As a result, they become ill more easily and die more often. In turn, newcomers may catch diseases that were not present in their own country. If they go back, they may carry the diseases with them and spread the diseases there, too.

Changes in the heating system of a building can also lead to disease. In the 1970s, there was a worldwide shortage of heating oil. As a result, hotels in the United Sate lowered the temperature in their heating systems in order to save fuel. This low temperature led to a deadly germ that grows in heating pipes. When the heated air was blown into the rooms of a hotel, it carried the germs. Many visitors became ill and several died.

Directions: There is I passage in this section. Read the passage and complete the outline below it(No.46 to No. 50) You should write your answers briefly (in no more than three words) on the Answer Sheet correspondingly.

Booster Seats(幼兒保護座椅) are more than a good idea. It is the law. Until children are 8 years old or 4.9 feet tall, they can be too big for a child car seat but too small for a safety belt. A booster seat makes safety belts fit properly and reduces the risk of injury in a crash.

Which seat should I use? Either a proper-fitting child safety seal or booster seat installed (安裝) correctly will meet the requirements of Michigan's new law for children under the age of 8 or not yet 4.9 feet tall. This includes using a booster seat with both a lap (膝部) and shoulder belt.

Where do I get a booster seat, and how much do they cost? Booster seats are available at many stores. They cost between $15 and $100 depending on the style.

Important: All booster seats are safest when used in the back seat and with both the car's lap and shoulder belt. Never use a lap belt only.
