You ask how to start a business? Here is an example.
David Dawson, a serious mountain climber, was dissatisfied with soft iron pitons(锥锤), the only ones he was able to buy. They lasted just one or two climbs, and Dawson wanted to replace them with "chrome-molys" (铬铝合金) , which were harder, stronger and longer-lasting. Some climbers made them for limited distribution among friends, but they were not commercially available. So Dawson started Dawson Equipment Ltd., a purveyor (承办商) of climbing equipment, as a one-man enterprise in Burbank, California, in 1958. He had no plan, no management experience and no advertising. He worked in a shed using a hand forge purchased with $ 800 of capital borrowed from his mother.
What Dawson did have was a knowledge of the kind of equipment that he needed in his own climbs, and a sense that serious climbers would follow his lead. Currently Dawson Equipment is thriving and produces over 200 products.
Business opportunities are mere than ample today for the simple reason that many consumers are dissatisfied. Dawson's business started from his being a customer not liking what he bought. I suspect that your business will begin that way too. You know what you want to replace, improve or change. So begin where the tool breaks, the service slips or the shoe pinches.
Dawson was dissatisfied with soft iron pitons because ______. ()
A.they were too soft to bear the climber's weight
B.they were the only pitons he could afford to buy
C.they coul not last long
D.they were made of iron
I was parking at a hiking road when a man in the car next to mine looked out and started to ask me for help. “No ___41____ .” I told him, as I was willing to help anyone in ___42___ . It turned out that his battery was ___43___ and no one would help jump to start his car!
I ___44___ him if he had cables (缆绳), which he did, and in less than five ___45___ I gave him a jump start and his car ___46___ at the drop of a hat. He thanked me and asked “How much do I ___47___ you” and I looked at him in 48 and said “Not a thing!”
He said “You won’ t believe it ___49___ I’ve been sitting here for so long and I asked at least three people to ___50___ me and no one would do it”. That made me really ___51___ . I was thinking that perhaps because of how he ___52___ , his background, or whatever, ___53___ might think he was going to ask them for ___54___ or something and just automatically said “no” without even ___55___ that they could help him so ___56___ . He also told me that one man ___57___ him “My battery is old so it can’ t help you”.
I was ___58___ that the battery is like the love in our hearts. We get ___59___ more if we give it away to others! And it doesn’t ___60___ our hearts to give. I’m happy that I charged his battery and he charged my “battery” with love. I got much more than he offered to me.

The Stranger Who Changed My Life
It was a sunny morning in the spring of 1966. I was driving a taxi,looking for a customer. While passing New York Hospital,I found a man running down the hospital steps,waving at me.
I stopped. The man reached the taxi and jumped in. “The Airport,please.”he said. As always,I wondered about my passenger. Was this man a talker? After a few moments,he started saying, “How do you like driving a taxi?”
“it’s OK,”I said. “I make a living and meet interesting people sometimes.”
“ What do you do?” I asked.
“I am a doctor at New York Hospital. ”
Many times during long rides,l’d developed a good relationship with my passengers and received very good advice from them. This time I decided to ask for his help,“Could I ask a favor of you? ”He didn’t answer. “I have a son,15,a good kid. He wants a job this summer. is it possible that you get one for him?”
He still wasn’t talking, and I was starting to feel foolish. Finally, he said, “ Well, my students have a summer research project. Maybe he could join in. Have him send me his school record. ”
He left his address and paid me. It was the last time I ever saw him.
Robbie sent off his grades the next morning. And gradually this incident was forgotten. Two weeks later, when I arrived home from work, Robbie handed me a letter. He was informed to call Dr. Plum for an interview.
Robbie got the job. The following summer, Robbie worked at the hospital again, but this time, he was given more responsibility. Then, he worked at the hospital for a third summer and gradually developed a love of medical profession.
