nd I believe, in general, people are much more aware of environmental problems. In some countries, like Sweden for instance, they have put a tax on black rubbish bags, so that people are encouraged not just to throw things straight in the bin, and to reduce their rubbish.

B

Businesses put lots of time and money into new plans, programs' and excellent employees with the hope things will change. Yet, at the end of the effort, not much changes. What happens？ In most cases, those new plans, programs and employees enter a company with an existing culture(文化). And plans, programs and new employees have a way of conforming to(顺应 ) the existing culture. The culture of your business is the result of a particular mindset, or a particular way of thinking and the general feelings about certain things. Most often, it is the mindset of the founder or people managing the business.

The founder has gotten to where he is because of his skill sets, knowledge base and personal beliefs, which unfortunately all come with inherent (固有的) limits. Why？ Skills, knowledge and beliefs come from what he or she already knows or has experienced. In other words, it comes from the past. We (people) try to make the past fit the future. Just because something worked in the past, doesn' t mean it is suitable for the future. As the saying goes, if you do and think what you have always done and thought, you will have what you have always had.

Therefore, lasting changes have to start with the way people think. To make changes in the way you think, you will be required to set goals beyond your basic abilities and continuously think them through. It is a way to train yourself and people to get out of the comfort zone where you feel happy with your knowledge and skills.

60. Which question does the author try to answer？

[A] What past experience is useful for businesses？

[B] How much time is needed for making plans？

[C] How can changes be made in businesses？

[D] What kinds of employees are the best？

Interview with Allan Gray

1)I was working for a multinational company in the early 1980s, and my brother asked me if I was interested in going into partnership with him to set up a language school. I&39;d always wanted to work for myself, and I was a bit fed up with working for someone else, so I said yes. Primarily, I wanted the freedom to make my own decisions, I wanted room to be creative,

and also I wanted to be able to get the credit and keep the profits if we were successful. I was also happy to carry the can and take the blame if things went wrong. These thing are not possible if you work as an employee in a large organization.

2)I had to borrow money to help start the business, but we were lucky because we also had some outside capital to put into the

business. These days it can be really hard to persuade banks to lend money to people who want to start a company, so we were fortunate. It was fairly easy to set up the business, because we had a very clear idea of what we wanted to do. The problem was, all our preconceptions(预想)about what it would be like to run a business were wrong. We made lots of mistakes, and we almost went bankrupt(破产的)at thebeginning. At one point, we only had two students in the school.

3)Far too long! We lost money for the first four years and, as I was saying, we nearly went out of business. It took quite a long time to start making profit. The best thing we did, though, was that we hired some really good people to work for us. In fact, some of those people are still working for us, 24 years later. Now we&39;re doing well, but it was very risky at first.

4)One is financial constraint(约束). It can be very tough. Think all small businesses have cashflow problems—it often takes a long time to get paid by your customers. The second big problem is marketing. It takes a lot of funds to market your business, and you have to get your name known and build a reputation. But the

biggest challenge is managing the people. All businesses are about people, and you have to learn how to deal with all kinds of people—and I think we&39;ve been extremely good at getting the best of our staff.
