8.Are you running a restaurant but can't afford to hire waiters?Well,you could learn from this Japanese restaurant that hires monkeys for the job.In order to make them look more human,the restaurant owner even masks(用面具遮掩) their faces.
The restaurant is Kayabuki,which a traditional Japanese restaurant.They have hired a couple of monkeys named Yat-chan and Fuku-chan to work as waiters (or waitresses,we're not sure).16-year-old Yat-chan is the older of the two,but he moves quickly between tables as he takes the customers'drink orders.Fuku-chan gives customers a hot towel and helps them clean their hands before they order their drinks,as is the custom in Japan.Believe it or not,the pair is actually certified(授予执照) by local authorities to work at the restaurant.The customers like them as well,so they give them beans as tips.One customer,Takayoshi,said,"The monkeys are actually better waiters than some really bad human ones."
Yat-chan and Fuku-chan were once the household pets of the restaurant owner,Kaoru Otsuka.But the older one started imitating him in restaurant duties,and that was when he realized they were actually capable of working there."Yat-chan first learned by just watching me working in the restaurant,"he said."It all started when one day I gave him a hot towel and he brought the towel to the customer."
Some customers even feel that the little monkeys are just like children,or even better.62-year-old Shiochi Yano,a regular at Kayabuki,says,"Actually,they're better.My son doesn't listen to me,but Yat-chan will."Customers also say that Yat-chan is able to understand exact orders and remember them."We called out for more beer,"said one customer,"and he just brought us some beer.It's amazing how he seems to understand human words."

25.What can we learn about Yat-chan and Fuku-chan?A
A.They both get beans as tips.
B.Fuku-chan is older than Yat-chan.
C.Yat-chan helps customers clean their hands.
D.Fuku-chan takes the customers'drink orders.

C.He found his monkeys were able to work like waiters.

3.If a stranger offered you money to keep a suitcase in your spare room,would you accept?How about the other way round:if you had too many belongings,would you consider trusting someone you met online with their safekeeping?Anthony Paine believed enough of us would answer"yes"to these questions to launch his own startup(新兴公司),Stashbee.His business links people with space to those who need it.
And it's just one player in the booming"sharing economy",an industry that relies on people renting out things like their beds,bikes and even parking spaces.Airbnb,a company valued at﹩20bn,provides a platform for those renting property short-term.DogVacay pairs holidaymaking pet owners with pet-friendly hosts,and aims to be profitable by 2017.
All their business models are running well based on one simple word:trust.So,how does Stashbee measure up?BBC journalist Dougal Shaw decided to try it out for himself.He had some odds and ends(零碎东西)to store while repairing his house,and met a host through the site who could keep them for﹩285 for two months.All relatively smooth and easy!
Heavyweights(行业巨头)in the traditional storage industry,such as Big Yellow and Access,aren't convinced.A representative from Access told Shaw he was skeptical about storing with"amateurs".He considered 24/7(全天候)access to the items and better security as the main advantages of his service.
Stashbee agree that dealing with security concerns is important,but say business success depends more on people overcoming a distrust of strangers we've been taught since childhood.They aren't alone.Companies such as Costockage,Roost and Spacer all run similar storage businesses,and are all relying on a change in consumer attitudes.
The concept of social storage won't stop there.Then would you try it out?It's question of trust.

31.What do Stashbee consider to be the biggest barrier to business success?A

B.The cost of starting the business.
C.The lack of space for storage.
D.Disapproval from traditional industry.
32.What is the best title for the text?B
A.Ways to start new business.
B.New business models of storage.
C.The change in service attitudes.
D.The concept of house renting.
7.This day marks the rising of a new food startup,the first company to be financed entirely by the crowd,and of it every business thus relies on thousands of customers to grow.Lisa,25,its main founder and CEO,believes it will be a path that will become increasingly popular,and ultimately will produce more thriving(繁荣的)businesses from the scratch.
"In the food industry,no venture capital (VC,风险投资) will even look at you until you've hit a million in sales.As a fresh hand in business,unless you're independently wealthy,you will likely need to raise some money before then,"Lisa complained.So few businesses approached VC firms at the beginning.It was no exception with her.Thus,she turned to a new financing tool at hand,crowdfunding,to raise money from the crowd who'd like to take a bet on her company.
But for a company,it didn't make sense to seek investments when all they had was an idea and a few months of consumer testing data.The food market is extremely competitive.No investor would put money behind a totally unproven new superfood product founded by a bunch of twenty-somethings."But we had a story.And crowds love stories."Lisa said delightedly.So she put together an online crowdfunding campaign,explaining how she began working with this amazingly nutritious plant in the Peace Corps and then started selling it in the U.S.to support the poor in the West Africa.
On the online platform where they were to raise the money,a friend convinced them to change their goal from﹩20,000 to﹩50,000.Lisa stayed up all night worrying they wouldn't hit it.But they reached﹩24,000 in 24 hours and ended their funding with﹩53,000.Seeing the number,Lisa said,"Thank you!To my crowd and for your belief!"
 
24.Why couldn't Lisa get investments in a traditional way?C
A.She lacked confidence in business.
B.Her food company was in poor condition.
C.VC demanded too much in choosing partners.
D.Consumers were not satisfied with her new products.
25.According to the passage,crowdfundingD.
A.ensures the investors a good return
B.aims to help badly managed companies
C.attracts more people to become investors
D.helps startups deal with money shortages
26.The underlined word"twenty-somethings"refers toB.
A.twenty impractical ideas
B.young people over twenty
C.twenty inexperienced partners
D.a company with twenty branches
27.Which of the following best explains Lisa's success?C
A.Great minds think alike.
B.Honesty is the best policy.
C.Many hands make light work.
D.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
