It was once unheard-of to be a businessman in China. Nowadays, though, it’s quite common to become your own boss. Let’s say you have an idea. Maybe you want to open an English school or sell Japanese comics. First, you need a business plan. It sets out what you’ll sell and how much everything will cost. Most businesses that fail didn’t have this. If you need to borrow money at the start, banks will ask for a detailed plan.

The best starting place for a business plan is the 4Ps: product, place, price and promotion. All these must be strong to be successful.

□Product

Your product must have something unique. What makes it special compared to other similar products? If you want to start a noodle shop that has nothing new, don’t expect people to show much interest. You can research your product. For food, let people try it for free. For toys, let a few children play with them to see if they like them.

□Place

There’s no point having a product that people want to buy if your shop is in an empty mall. Think about which type of person is going to buy what you sell. Where do they usually go shopping? When looking at possible places, spend the day there. See how many people pass by. Also, are there other shops nearby selling similar products? If so, how can you be better than them?

□Price

Work out how much it costs to make or provide your product. As a general rule, your price will be double the cost. After all, you’re also paying for rent, staff and you need to eat too!

□Promotion

How can you attract people to your shop? Advertising in newspapers and on TV is expensive. Perhaps you can get free advertising by getting a newspaper to write about your business.

1.What’s the best title for the passage?

A. There are shops selling the goods like yours.

B. Many people pass by.

C. You should think about which type of person is going to buy what you sell.

What is a lifestyle and how is that different from a life? A lifestyle is about brand names and buying identity or fame. Lifestyle gives a false sense of peace and acceptability that comes from others recognizing what you’ve bought into (as well as bought). If your car, clothes, and home are expensive, you’re sophisticated(世故的) and stylish. If you have the right kind of job or go to the right social gatherings, then you receive the insincere approval of others. This means that your self-esteem(自尊) is always at the mercy of others, with no appreciation of you as an individual.

A life, on the other hand, is very different. A life is what you lead when you know what matters most to you. It is very simple and comes from being connected to what you know is important and being willing to put that first, no matter what others may think. When you create a life vs. a lifestyle, your self-esteem comes from what’s inside you, not what others think about you.

Lifestyle is expensive financially and personally, because it costs a great deal to keep up appearances and do what you think is socially acceptable. A life is not expensive. Rather than using personal or financial resources, a life generates energy and staying power. It’s about liberating yourself from the mindless consumption that society expects. It is about making the choices that are in line with your values, instead of using up your bank account or energy for no heart-driven reason.

How can you make the change? Understand the difference between a life and a lifestyle. Analyze your current lifestyle to see what is costing you in money, time, stress, and energy to maintain it. Let go and make room for what is really important to you, what supports you and brings you joy. Remember who you are from within, not what you own!

1.Which of the following examples best explains “what is life about”?

AWe work long hours in a job that we do not enjoy.

BWe focus on what we wear, or what kind of car we drive.

CWe find out what our true beliefs and values are and choose to live by these.

DWe think that how others see us is more important than what we think of ourselves.

2.What method does the author use to explain his opinion in the third paragraph?

AMaking comparison. BGiving an example.

CGiving a definition. DGiving a reason.

3.To make the change, we need to______________________.

Abe directed from within Bbe directed from outside

Cbe driven by social values Dbe driven by others’ opinions

4.What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?

ATo describe what life is.

BTo introduce what lifestyle is.

CTo promote life instead of lifestyle.

DTo tell the differences between life and lifestyle.
