22、While you may think that being smart and talented would logically make someone successful in running a business, unfortunately, this is often not the case.

This problem starts back in school when the stressful “group projects” are first assigned .The smartest don’t want to risk their grade in the class by dividing the work equally and hoping that an average student does his part well. They just take over and do the whole project themselves.

And thus begins the smart-people work cycle. The smartest people do just about everything better than most everyone else until it comes to running a business. They are not better. A smart person who can’t stand someone else doing a job badly does everything himself. Then, he is stuck with the one-man band “job-business” and ends up not being able to grow. However, it is quite interesting and strange that some “slackers” ( a person who is lazy and avoids work) are better suited to be a business leader than the “smart” people.

Smart and talented people often have a gift for the unusual, complicated or different. They don’t like to follow the KISS principle (keep it simple, stupid), which is required to make a business succeed. Maybe you think the global presence of McDonald’s complex, but in reality, in the company, every single task is broken down into easy-to-follow steps and everything has been standardized. These successful companies have just a few smart enough people to run the majority of the tasks in a way that can’t be screwed up by their average employees. So, being smart or talented isn’t going to help you unless you can use those smarts to figure out a way to simplify those tasks that will make a business successful.

Another issue with the smart people starting businesses is that they often have the most to lose. The smarter you are, the more options you have available to you. You will be able to make a lot of money in various fields and have room in your career to become promoted. This means that when you start a business, you have a lot more to risk than those who are not equally smart. This is often referred to as the “golden handcuffs” dilemma.

So, don’t be surprised when the person “MOST Likely to Succeed” from high school ends up as an employee and it is one average student that finds success in his or her own business.

【1】In group work, smart students often take over the whole project because they believe ____.

A. the work is not divided equally

B. they can perform better than others

C. the group projects are too stressful

D. average students are unwilling to participate

【2】McDonald’s is used as an example to prove that ____.

A. a business calls for smart people’s talent

B. average employees can perform complex tasks

C. smart people are important for a successful business

D. simplified tasks are required for the success of a business

【3】The underlined expression in Paragraph 5 refers to the situation where smart people ____.

A. have fewer options in a company

B. risk more when starting business

C. are unwilling to put money to a business

D. can have a good income in many different fields

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A. Potentials for Success

B. Bases for Business

C. The Ordinary Achieve Bigger Success?

D. Talent Means Successful Business?

23、Wind energy provided 7% of the total electricity in the United States in 2019. Since 2008, the number of coal-fired power plants has declined, as the use of renewable energy and natural gas has increased. Wind energy is an excellent way to reduce carbon emissions, but what will happen when the wind turbine blades wear out? Is there a waste management issue?

The design life of wind turbines is about 20 to 25 years. The longest wind turbine blade to date is 350 feet. Although certain parts of wind turbines can be relatively easily recycled, others are not designed for recycling. Many spent turbine blades are piling up in landfills. However, researchers from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) are making progress in this area.

They developed a blade out of thermoplastic resin that is low-cost, lightweight, and seems to be recyclable. If the new blade also proves to be strong, this will be a game changer for the offshore and onshore wind industry. Lower costs also could help improve wind energy efficiency, reducing the use of fossil fuels. A lightweight blade is easier to transport and uses less fuel. It also seems easier to recycle and uses less energy in the production process. “With the traditional material, it’s almost like when you fry an egg. It’s finished and you can’t undo that,” said Derek Berry, a senior engineer at NREL. “But with a thermoplastic resin system, you can make a blade out of it. You heat it to a certain temperature, and it melts back down. You can get the liquid resin back and reuse that.”

Although the research looks promising, progress will be slow. Most wind farms being constructed today will stop working in a few decades. The benefits of recyclable blades are still decades away at least. The associated environmental impact has largely been a blind spot for the industry. Hopefully, recent progress will help make wind power even greener.

【1】What is the disadvantage of the current wind turbine blade?

A．Its high cost.

B．Its limited use.

C．Its negative impact on the environment.

D．Its inefficiency in producing electricity.

【2】What do Derek’s words mainly show?

A．Why thermoplastic resin is strong.

B．How thermoplastic resin is recycled.

C．The widespread of thermoplastic resin.

D．The production process of thermoplastic resin.

【3】What is the author’s attitude to the future of wind energy?

A．Pessimistic.

B．Careless.

C．Doubtful.

D．Optimistic.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．A new way to develop turbine blades.

B．A fresh approach to using wind power.

C．An unknown renewable energy source.

D．The way to tear down old turbine blades.
