In one coach there sat a very pretty young woman dressed in elegant taste and surrounded by all the comforts of an experienced traveler. Among the newcomers were two young men, one of handsome look with a bold, frank expression; the other heavily built and roughly dressed. The two were handcuffed together.As they passed down the aisle of the coach the only vacant seat offered was the one facing the attractive young woman. Here the linked couple seated themselves. When the young womans glance fell upon them, her face brightened with a lovely smile.“Well, Mr. Easton, if you will make me speak first, I suppose I must. Dont you ever recognize old friends when you meet them in the west?”The young man roused himself sharply at the sound of her voice, seemed to struggle with a slight embarrassment which he threw off instantly, and then clasped her fingers with his left hand.“Its Miss Fairchild,” he said, with a smile. “Ill ask you to excuse the other hand; its otherwise engaged just at present.”He slightly raised his right hand, bound at the wrist by the shining “bracelet” to the left one of his companion. The glad look in the girls eyes slowly changed to a puzzled horror. The glow faded from her cheeks. Easton, with a little laugh, as if amused, was about to speak again when the other stopped him. The heavily-built man said, “Youll excuse me for speaking, miss, but, I see youre acquainted with the marshal here. If youll ask him to speak a word for me when we get to prison hell do it, and itll make things easier for me there. Hes taking me to Leavenworth prison. Its seven years for making fake money.”“Oh!” said the girl, with a deep breath and returning color. “So that is what you are doing out here? A marshal!”The conversation between the girl and Easton carried on happily until the heavily-built man growled, “Say, Mr. Marshal, this isnt quite fair. Im needing a drink, and havent had a smoke all day. Havent you talked long enough? Take me in the smoker now, wont you? Im half dead for a pipe.”When the two men left for the smoker, said one of the passengers near by: “That marshals a good sort of guy. Some of these Western fellows are all right.”“Pretty young to hold an office like that, isnt he?” asked the other.“Young!” exclaimed the first speaker, “WhyOh! didnt you catch on? Saydid you ever know an officer to handcuff a prisoner to his right hand?”21.

Americans, too, believe that the United States provides almost limitless opportunity for those who want to open businesses on their own.Today, Americans are still fond of trying their hand at becoming small business people, even though only one out of two survives the first two years. Many of these people start their businesses for the wrong reasons: to get away from the paper work of their present jobs or to exchange the responsibility of their present jobs for freer life styles. But more, not less, paper work and responsibility come with ownership of a small business. John Shuttleworth, owner of the recently successful news magazine Mother Earth, reports having had to work sixty hours straight in order to bring out the first issue.John Shuttleworth waited years after thinking about the idea for Mother Earth before he attempted to put out the first issue. During that time, he collected as much information as he could about his plan. He borrowed books about business from the library; he talked to people already established in the field; and he began planning in detail the amount of money and the kinds and numbers of supplies he would need. When he finally opened with a capital of $1,500, he set up his office in the kitchen of his home and his printing press in the garage. Due to his devotion to business, his skill and talent, Mother Earth now has a circulation of 300,000. Not all small businesses succeed as well as Mother Earth does. Fifty percent of the 450,000 that start in the United States every year fail. Still, ninety-five percent businesses in the States can be described as small. Combined, these businesses account for forty percent of Americas gross (总的) national product.26. Many people start their businesses for the wrong reasons as they do not realize that their businesses will _.A. have a great chance of failureB. provide large income but less responsibilityC. require longer working hours but less paper workD. not relieve them from much paper work and responsibility27. In the second paragraph “straight” means _.A. continuously B. honestlyC. alone D. not curved28. Before John Shuttleworth started his business, he _.A. borrowed moneyB. developed a rough planC. made all kinds of preparationsD. visited some established businesses29. Which of the following is NOT true of the small businesses in the United States?A. One can start a small business at home.B. Americas development depends a lot on small businesses.C. Many people in America start small businesses to escape paper work.D. 50% of the small businesses fail because the owners are not well prepared.30. This passage is mainly about _.A. John Shuttleworths successB. the failure of businesses in the United StatesC. starting a small business in the United StatesD.
