英语四级练习模拟题3(附答案)

How to Start Let's congratulate on your decision to start your own business. But where do you go from here? Paper clips, memo pad, phone and table ---almost but not quite. One of the faults committed by home-based business owners otherwise known as a small office/home office is that they fail to consider the possibilities of expansion. It is fine to start working from the kitchen table but what happens when things start to take off and you still do not want to have an office space? Where do you place the home office? If you have the space, I highly suggest a room to itself. This permits you to close the door and separate your personal life from business.

We were all raised to give 9 hours work for 8 hours pay, and we are not backing away from that. Bosses don't understand that you just put braces on your child's teeth and now have to pay for them.
