Gregory Olsen is not an astronaut. He is a 60-year-old businessman from New Jersey where he owned his successful technology company. This week, however, Olsen became the world’s third non-astronaut to pay for a trip into space.
On Monday, the Russian-built Soyuz rocket, carrying Olsen, an American astronaut and a Russian astronaut, docked (对接) at the International Space Station (ISS).
Olsen’s wish has come true. He is the third “space tourist” in four years to travel on a Russian craft to the space station. American Dennis Tito and South African Mark Shuttleworth have both made round trips to the ISS. Going into space is not easy, however. Olsen has worked hard for two years to prepare for it.
The Russian Federal Space Agency offers an ISS trip to anyone who can afford it and pass the necessary training. Olsen reportedly paid $20 million for his trip. The Russian space program has been short of money in recent years and is looking for individuals interested in space travel to _________.
NASA(美国宇航局)has relied on the Russian space program and its Soyuz capsule(太空舱)to transport American astronauts to the ISS since the Columbia space shuttle disaster in 2003. The space shuttle Discovery ( 发现号宇宙飞船)made a flight earlier this year, but the program stopped halfway because of safety concern. So far, the Russians have not charged the U.S. for trips to the ISS. That may change by the end of the year.
As one of the few space tourists, Olsen focuses his attention on the glory of traveling in space.

Mr. Gregory Gale is one of the few people in England who are

Mr. Gregory Gale is one of the few people in England who are 100 years old. On the day of his birthday, he played a game of tennis and went for a long walk. A few days later a radio reporter came to his house and asked him if he had any “secrets of long life”. This is what Mr. Gale said, “No, I don’t know any secrets like that, but there are a few simple rules of good life. I’ve always kept them all my life. The first is this: Don’t listen to those fools who tell you to give up all the pleasures of life! The second is to enjoy all the pleasures of life in moderation(节制). For example, I’ve always smoked a few good cigars every day. Not many, mind you! Only two or three! I’ve always also drunk a little good wine with my meals, perhaps two or three glasses. The third rule is to take a little exercise every day. I’ve taken a little and on Saturdays I’ve played a little tennis or golf.”

A.Mr. Gale is still young.
B.Mr. Gale is 100 years old.
C.Mr. Gale is one of the oldest men in England.
D.Mr. Gale was interviewed by a radio reporter after his 100th birthday.
小题2:Which of the following doesn’t Mr. Gale do in his life?
A.Playing. B.Drinking. C.Eating a lot. D.Smoking.
小题3:Why is Mr. Gale able to live such a long life?

请分段并写段落大意!
Gregory Lampson couldn't believe it.His 21-year-old son Joe,six months from graduation,had just announced that he was dropping out of Stanford University to launch his own software company.“Can't you wait a few months?” his father pleaded.
“No,” Joe said quietly.“In software being first is everything.”
The younger Lampson knew that software companies were already helping big business save millions by streamlining some office work,such as shipping and receiving.Yet buying and selling – the lifeblood of business – was still being done by instinct.For instance,the average hospital could choose among many bandage suppliers.But there was no easy way to calculate which supplier offered the best price while meeting all the customer's needs.Lampson was sure that he and his four partners could develop a computer program that would solve this problem.
In spite of Lampson's confidence,no one would finance his start-up company,called Trilogy Development Group.Banks told him to get lost.Venture capitalists explained that new enterprises needed experienced managers and technicians; Joe Lampson had neither.
So he turned to the great investment bank of his generation:plastic.Lampson used 35 credit cards to finance the business and living expenses for him and his partners.Two years later he was half a million dollars in debt.
Meanwhile he persuaded engineers at Hewlett-Packard – who had tried to develop a similar program – to test the Trilogy software.To Hewlett-Packard's surprise,it worked.The company offered Trilogy $3 million for the right to use the program.Since then,orders from other Fortune 500 companies have flooded in.
Today the Trilogy Development Group,based in Austin ,Texas ,has close to 400 employees.The company's 1996 incomes have been estimated at more than $120 million.
Lampson,who just celebrated his 29th birthday,is one of a huge number of under-35 entrepreneurs.According to a study,nearly ten percent of Americans between the ages of 25 and 34 are actively involved in trying to start their own businesses –- at least three times the rate of any other age group.
Why the increased interest in entrepreneurship?
According to a survey,twice as many young people would rather own their own businesses than be top executives in large companies,and five times as many would rather own their own businesses than hold important positions in politics or government.When they were children,they taught themselves how to program computers and navigate the Internet.Today's young adults “had to grow up fast,” says a researcher,“They were like explorers hacking their way through a jungle – they had to be prepared to handle anything.A decade later it turns out that these survival traits are excellent skills for entrepreneurs.”

楼主看好啊,我可是花了半个小时自己翻出来的,你要是不把分给我,我的怨念会咒杀你的.
这让格雷戈里·拉普森简直不敢相信:他21岁的儿子乔会在还有6个月就要从斯坦福大学毕业时,宣布退学以创办自己的软件公司.“你就不能等数个月?”他的父亲半祈求地说.
“不,”乔平静地回答道,“在软件这行,事事都要争先.”
年轻的拉普森知道,软件公司已通过简化运输和接收等案头工作替大企业节约了数以百万计的开销.然而,买进卖出,这一商业的精髓,却仍然得靠人们的直觉来经营.举例来说,医院可以在众多绷带供应商中选择,但却没有一个简便的方法来计算哪个供应商在满足所有客户需求的同时价格最优.拉普森确信他和他的四个合作伙伴可以设计出一个解决这个问题的程序.
尽管拉普森很有信心,却没有人给他草创的公司——Trilogy研发集团——经济支持.银行的程序过于复杂,风险资本家则说新企业需要有经验的管理者和技术人员,而乔·拉普森没有两者中的任何一样.因此他只能求助于他这一代最大的投资银行:信用卡发卡商.拉普森用了35张信用卡来支付他的生意以及他和合作伙伴的生活开销.两年以后他欠了50万美元的债务.
但同时他说服曾试图开发类似软件的Hewlett-Packard公司的工程师试用Trilogy的软件,它的作用令Hewlett-Packard公司非常惊喜.该公司支付了他300万美元作为使用费用,此后财富500强榜上其他公司的订单滚滚而来.
今天,坐落在德州Austin的Trilogy研发集团已有接近400名雇员,公司1996年的收入超过1.2亿美元.
————————————————————————————
(前面都是举例)
刚过完29岁生日的拉普森只是35岁以下企业家这一大群体中的一员.根据一项研究,在25到34岁的美国人中,有百分之十的人积极投身到自己创业之中,这一比例是其他任何年龄段的至少三倍以上.
为什么创业的激情如此高涨呢?
根据一项调查,想拥有自己企业的年轻人的人数是想成为大公司高层的两倍,更是想在政界出人头地者的五倍.在他们的孩提时代,他们就自学了如何编程、如何上网.今天的年轻人当初“必须更快成熟”,一位研究者如此说,“他们当时像是在丛林中披荆斩棘的开拓者——必须得抓住手边的一切东西.十年之后,这些特点成为了企业家的极好技能”
