B
America has long been considered the land of opportunity(机遇)by those from other countries. Americans, too, believe that the United States gives almost limitless opportunities for those who want to open business 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 in the first two years. Many of these people start their business for the wrong reason; to get away from the paper work of their present jobs or to exchange the responsibility(责任) of their present jobs for freer life styles. But more, not less paper work and responsibility come with the ownership of a small business.
Not all small businesses succeed. Fifty percent of the 4 550 000 that start in the United States ever fail. Still ninety-five percent of businesses in the U.S. can be regarded as small, and these businesses altogether produce forty percent of America’s total national products.

C.Both people from other countries and Americans believe they have many opportunities in the U.S so that they can do whatever they like.
D.People from other countries and Americans all think the U.S. the place where they can realize their dreams.
61.From this passage, we know that________.
A.many people from other countries think that in the past there were many opportunities in the U.S. but not now
B.now Americans don’t believe the U.S. can give them a lot of opportunities
C.people from other countries still think they have more opportunities in the U.S. than in their own countries
D.Americans think they have more opportunities to start their own business than those from other countries

A.they want to become rich soon
B.they not only dislike their present jobs but also want a freer life style
C.they don’t want to do paper work
