"As a practical matter he had no past only a future. That’s when he really came alive when you got him on the subject of what was going to happen next."
So writes Michael Lewis of Jim Clark in his new bestseller The New New Thing about the people in the place of the future Silicon Valley. The new new thing--it’s the thing to do these days: come up with an idea, start an Internet company and get filthy rich.
Even though Yale University junior Joshua Newman doesn’t quite have Clark’s billions, Lewis could have been writing about Newman. This Internet wonder kid has already launched two start-ups and he, like Clark, comes alive when you get him talking about the possibilities of the future.
Newman grew up in Palo Alto C. A., the Internet Mecca of the world, but he entered Yale with no business experience and certainly no intention of someday starting his own company. "If you told my parents then that I’d be doing something like this," Newman says, "there would have been mild shock and incredulity." It was during his freshman year at Yale that Newman met David Fischer, then a junior and the two of them began playing around with the idea of starting their own business. Newman’s first start up with Fischer was Sharkbyte, an Internet strategy and consulting site that was recently acquired by Quantrum International.
While others hit Wall Street or Capitol Hill for fancy summer internships, Newman devoted his past two summers to working feverishly to hit the Internet jackpot--and he plans to spend this upcoming summer launching his newest company Paradigm Blue, a venture capital site dealing with student-driven projects. During the school year Newman has the typical college student’s challenge of juggling school and play. But in Newman’s case play is running his company, meeting prospective clients and driving to New York City several times a week. How many hours a week during the school year does Newman devote to his non-academic work? Newman does not keep count he’s too afraid of the figure that he’d come up with. During the summer months Newman did extensive traveling, meeting with potential clients all over the country. He has employed several college students in his company. The summer has become a popular time for students to get their feet wet in the business and Newman has taken advantage of that.
For now, Newman is focused on launching Paradigm Blue. His goal is for the site to raise $10 million by May 1st at which time he and his partners will close the fund and start their fun. What comes next who knows? But that’s what’s so fun about the new new thing. [br] What is the substantial difference between Newman’s summer and that of other students?
选项
A、He focuses on Internet while others go to big famous places of finance and politics.
B、He plays a lot while others take various jobs.
C、His summer work is more practical and independent than others’.
D、He works hard while others play a lot.
答案
C
解析
推理判断题。本题可以从第五段的第一句推断出来。本句的While是信号词,预示即将把两种暑假生活对比:当其他人到华尔街或国会山度过梦幻般的夏季实习期的时候,纽曼把上两个暑假的时光都投在了热情的工作中,在因特网上一博。由此可见,其他学生的活动都是耶鲁的传统项目,而纽曼则致力于网络,更独立,更实际一些。因此,选项 C 是正确的。题干问的是“实质性区别”,所以不能选A ,该选项说的是表面的不同。
