At no other time in recent history has it been easier or cheaper to start a new kind of company. Possibly a very profitable company. Let’s call these new companies LILOs, for "a little in, a lot out". These are Web-based businesses that cost almost nothing to get off the ground yet can turn into great moneymakers.
How do you get started? All that’s required is a great idea for a product that will fill a need in the 21st century. These days you’d do best if your idea either makes people money or saves them money. And launching now will make your company stronger later — you’ll learn to survive on fumes until the economy improves.
That’s what John Tayman is doing. He’s an author who lives in San Francisco and writes reviews for a business magazine. Tayman knew little about technology and even less about business. And yet he dreamed of a website that would summarise car reviews from other sources and rank every model of new car. Tayman said he intended to build the site on the side while continuing to write for a living. He’d work on his new company only at night and on weekends. Oh, yes, and he had only about $10,000.
Tayman went to work with nothing more than his laptop. A hyper-organised fellow, he quickly discovered a bunch of free stuff online — instructional manuals and sites that walk you through the process from start to finish. Within months, Tayman had a virtual staff of 20 employees working for him in five different countries. MotorMouths.com went live in January. Tayman figures he has worked about 10 hours a week on it and hasn’t spent a cent on marketing or advertising. Growth is modest but steady: nearly 10,000 people visit each week.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
23. What is the advantage of starting a business now?
24. What did Tayman have when he started his business?
25. What do we learn about Tayman’s website according to the passage?
选项
A、It develops modestly but steadily.
B、There is a lot of free stuff on Tayman’s website.
C、It began to show signs of failure within months.
D、Its capacity is approximately 10,000 visits each week.
答案
A
解析
短文中提到Growth is modest but steady,A)正是对此的同义转述,故答案为A)。短文最后提到nearly 10,000 people visit each week,但这并不代表塔伊曼的网站一周只能容纳1万人访问(approximately10,000 visits each week),故排除强干扰项D)。
