2019年中考英语阅读理解基础题（四）Passage A（2019中考选练）When I was a child I never said, When I grow up, I want to be a CEO, but here I am. When I look back on my career, I realize the road to becoming a CEO isnt a straight, clear path. In fact, no two paths are the same. But whether you want to be a boss one day or not, theres a lot to learn from how leaders rise to the top of successful companies. As this series of stories shows, the paths to becoming a CEO may be different, but the people in that position(位置) share the qualities of commitment（义务）, work ethic（道德） and a strong desire for building something new. And every CEO take risks along the wayputting your life savings on the line to start a software company or leaving a big business to be one of the first employees at a startup. I grew up in Minnesota, and learned how to be an entrepreneur（企业家）from my father, who has run a small business for almost 30 years. I went to Georgetown University and tried a lot of business activities in college with success. And I always had a dream job pattern(模式): to walk to work, work for myself and build something for consumers(顾客). Im only 29, so its been a quick ride to CEO. Out of college, I worked for AOL as a product manager, then moved to Revolution Health and ran the consumer product team. In mid-2007 I left Revolution Health and started LivingSocial with several other workmates, where I became a CEO.

Why do you seem to learn faster in some classes while more slowly in others ? One reason you may not know is that people have different learning types. Scientists say there are three different learning types: Visual(视觉型), Auditory(听觉型) and kinesthetic(动觉型).Visual learners learn best by seeing. If you seem to easily remember information from pictures, graphs(图表) and videos, you are probably a visual learner. Youre not good at copying down what the teacher says in class. Never mind. You can draw graphs or pictures instead, if you find that works better for you.Auditory learners learn best by hearing.
