Unit 4 Sharing

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

(2017·合肥高三检测)It's the universal cry of parents “Get a job！” Soliman's mother told Soliman on the second day of his college breaks.

After years of delivering furniture for his mother's store，he knew many people had things they wanted to get rid of.If he borrowed his mom's truck，he could make a little money by carrying away their garbage.

One night，Soliman came up with a name for his new business—College Hunks Hauling Junk.He advertised the next day，and within hours，his phone rang.He asked his friend Friedman to help.They made $220 in three hours by cleaning out a woman's garage.Soliman and Friedman earned $10，000 that summer.But the two weren't ready to become full­time garbage men after graduation.“We were trained to finish college and get a good job，” says Soliman，who first worked at a research firm.Friedman became an economic analyst.

After working for the firm and the company for a while，both of them changed their minds.They quit their jobs and restarted their business，but had trouble finding a bank willing to lend them money.“Within months，” says Friedman，“we were pretty upset.” At last，one bank risked lending them $50，000.At first，they lost money.One customer asked them to deal with a dozen garbage cans filled with construction garbage.They measured the job by volume instead of by weight and charged just $130.“The cans were so heavy that it took us two and a half hours，” says Soliman，“and it cost us more than $250 to carry the load.”

However，the tough experience taught them a lesson.They reduced the cost of unloading by recycling metals and electronics.Just four years later，they ran a nationwide company that earned $3 m illion in 2014.“I figured if Nick and I failed，we'd learn more from failing than from not trying at all，” says Soliman.

【语篇解读】Soliman通过为妈妈的商店运送家具了解到许多人有不想要的东西。于是他有了一个想法——通过运送别人不想要的东西来挣钱。他和朋友开始创业时遇到了一些困难，但是通过不懈的努力以及分析和总结，最后他们终于成功了。
