     Every year, over 40,000 secondary students in Britain run a business. "Each business runs for one
year," said Ben,one of the group of students visiting Shanghai. "When we started our business, we
borrowed money from parents and friends. At the end ofthe year,these people will receive some of the
profits(利润) ."I asked Ben if running a business was difficult.He said that it was no problem. He said
that they always received a lot of advice from teachersand business people.

five to seven students in each business and among them were one manager and one accountant (会计).
I asked them who was the manager."l am,of course,"said Regina. "It was my idea to produce picture
books,"she said. "They have been very popular withthe other students." I also asked the students what
