Since you do not have to answer to someone else, you have to be responsible for your own business. In this sense, the business becomes the new boss. Here are some tips for you to observe.Work-life balance: Staring a business will consume a lot of time and energy. Not letting the business prevent you from having personal time is a challenge. The failure to manage a work-life balance can lead to health problems and lost relationships with family and friends.Making decisions: Since you are the owner, you have the final decision. This can be a tough challenge because you know that you alone have to bear the consequences of your decisions.Self-doubt and criticism: In the beginning, customers and competitors will not take you seriously.Everyone will be quick to share their opinions on what you are doing wrong and why it will not work.With all this, selfdoubt will start to occur. Maybe they are all right. Maybe starting this business was a bad idea. If you have done your homework, this is the moment to overcome the fear of failure and have the confidence in yourself to keep going.28.

By saying “you have done your homework”, the writer means.A. you are well-preparedC. you are highly confidentB. you are fully satisfiedD. you are less worriedPassage 3When people move from one city or country to another, the spread of diseases may result. People often bring in germs （病菌）that may not have been present there before. These new germs can spread quickly and cause previously unknown diseases. If a germ is completely new to a region, people who already live there have no natural protection against it. As a result, they become ill more easily and die more often. In turn, newcomers may catch diseases that were not present in their own country. If they go back, they may carry the diseases with them and spread the diseases there, too.Changes in the heating system of a building can also lead to diseases. In the 1970s, there was a worldwide shortage of heating oil. As a result, hotels in the United States lowered the temperature in their heating systems in order to save fuel. This low temperature led to a deadly germ that grows in heating pipes. When the heated air was blown into the rooms of a hotel, it carried the germs. Many visitors became ill and several died.30. The spread of new diseases may result from the move of people who.A. carry the germsB. have no protectionC. become ill more easilyD. work in a crowded placeWhen a new germ is spread to a region,.A. it will cause the whole region to suffer fi-om a deadly diseaseB. newcomers are seldom affected by the newly-spread germC. people there usually have no natural protection against itD. people in that region can hardly escape from the diseaseFrom the passage we learn that changes in the heating system of a building can result in.A. an oil shortage B. certain diseases C. the air pollution D. a high temperature 39. What caused the growth of a deadly germ in the heating pipes of the hotels?A. The dry air.B. The polluted oil.C. The heated pipes.D. The low temperature.40. The passage is mainly about.A. the protection against new diseasesB. the danger of visiting new placesC. the spread of new diseasesD. the worldwide shortage of fuelPassage 4Some workplace stress is normal, but when stress at work begins to weaken your ability to perform in your job, ifs time for you to take action. Start by paying attention to your physical and emotional health.Get movingRegular exercise is an effective way to help you to relax both your mind and body. Try to get at least 30 minutes of activity on most days. If it's easier to fit into your schedule, break up the activity into two or three shorter periods of time each day.Get enough sleepA lack of sleep can make you suffer from more stress. When you're well-rested, it's much easier to keep your emotional balance. Try to improve the quality of your sleep by keeping a sleep schedule and aiming for 8 hours a night.Get supportClose relationships are important to help you through times of stress. Simply sharing your feelings face to face with another person can help relieve some of the stress. Accepting support is not a sign of weakness and it doesn't mean you're a burden to others. In fact, most friends will be willing to help you to reduce your stress, and this will only strengthen your relationship.41.
