Well, look no further. Here are four best sellers for you! The Boss of You by Lauren Bacon & Emira Mears This book is a goldmine for women looking to start their own business. As a freelance writer (自由撰稿人), I read it several times when I decided to begin a career. I’ve folded so many pages in this book, and found some sections especially helpful, like the ones on figuring out start-up costs, drawing up a budget, and the ways to market yourself. Suggested by Steph Auteri The Path from Motherhood to Career by Diane Lang I have used this book professionally myself after having my first child. Ms. Lang gives several choices that have worked for the women. At 62 pages long, every word counts. For moms that are still weighing choices, this book will help them decide if indeed it is time to go back to work. Suggested by Anne Newton Minding Her Own Business by Jan Zobel Taxes are the same for women as are for men. Yet many women seem to have number anxiety that makes them feel they can’t deal well with their money. As a tax expert, I’ve seen this among my clients (客户) over the years. This book is designed for one-person businesses. Read it, and you’ll know what taxes to pay and what you needn’t. Suggested by Jan Zobel The Relationship Edge in Business by Jerry Acuff For most women, the biggest challenges in our lives are the relationships we build and develop with our family and friends. Jerry explains how we can use those same relationship-building skills to build good relationships with our customers and co- workers that will help our business to grow soundly.

B Twenty-one years ago, my husband gave me Sam, an eight-week-old schnauzer (雪 纳瑞犬), to help ease the loss of our daughter. Sam and I developed a very special bond over the next years. At one point, my husband and I decided to move to a new home in New Jersey. Our neighbor, whose cat had recently had kittens, asked if we would like one. We were a little apprehensive about Sam’s jealousy and how he would handle his turf (地盘) being invaded, but we decided to risk it. We picked a little, gray, playful ball of fur. She raced around chasing imaginary mice and squirrels and jumped from table to chair in the blink of an eye, so we named her Lightning. At first, Sam and Lightning were very cautious with each other and kept their distance. But slowly, Lightning started following Sam — up the stairs, down the stairs, into the kitchen. Later, when they slept, it was always together; when they ate, it was always next to each other. When I took either one out, the other was always waiting by the door when we returned. That was the way it was for years. Then, without any warning, Sam was diagnosed as having a weak heart. I had no other choice but to have him put down. The pain was nothing compared with what I experienced when I had to walk into our house alone. This time, there was no Sam for Lightning to greet and no way to explain why she would never see her friend again. In the following days, Lightning seemed heart-broken. I could see the disappointment in her eyes whenever anyone opened the front door, or the hope whenever she heard a dog bark. One day as I walked into our living room, I happened to see Lightning was lying next to the sculptured replica (复制品) of Sam that we had bought a few years ago, one arm wrapped around the statue’s neck, contentedly sleeping with her best friend. 24. What does the underlined word “apprehensive” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Shocked. B. Curious. C. Worried. D. Eager. 25. How did Sam get along with Lightning at first? A. Lightning followed Sam everywhere it went. B. They fought with each other fiercely. C. They kept a certain distance from each other. D. Sam was unfriendly to Lightning. 26. What can we infer from the text? A. Lightning knew Sam had died. B. Sam means a lot to Lightning. C. We took Lightning home to accompany Sam. D. Sam came back to stay with Lightning again. 27. What can be the best title of the text? A. The Friendship between Sam and Lightning B. The Coming of Sam and Lightning C. The Death of Sam to Lightning D. The Importance of Sam to Us C On numerous drives with my mom through my childhood, she would suddenly pull over the car to examine a flower by the side of the road or rescue a beetle (甲虫) from danger while I, in my late teens and early twenties, sat impatiently in the car. Though Mother's Day follows Earth Day, for me, they have always been related to each other. My mom has been ''green'' since she became concerned about the environment. Part of this habit was born of thrift (节俭). Like her mother
