16、er or write a check. Instead, they took $30,000 of their own money and started a nonprofit called Hope for the City. The organization collects corporate overstock and distributes it to nonprofits in the Twin Cities, nationwide, and internationally to 26 developing countries. Today the nonprofit has
17、a $900, 000 operating budget and a 25,000 sq.ft. warehouse to store the donated items and has distributed nearly $380 million of in-kind merchandise since its inception. “This makes us feel like were a part of something a lot bigger than just the two of us,“ says Dennis, 54, who is CEO of a local co
18、mmercial real estate firm. The Doyles are not alone in their desire to give back. There are more than 1 million 501 (c) (3) charities like theirs, up nearly 70% from the 614,000 that existed a decade ago, according to Tom Pollak, program director with the National Center for Charitable Statistics at
19、 the Urban Institute. Organizations dedicated to education, disaster relief, job development, the environment and AIDS are among todays “hot causes, “ says Phyllis McGrath, president of Philanthropy Management, a Fairfield, Conn., consulting firm that works with nonprofits nationwide. Fueling this g
20、rowth are several factors: baby boomers with a social-entrepreneurship mind-set and added time in their lives to give back to their communities, such tragic events as Sept. 11 and Hurricane Katrina, and greater numbers of wealthy individuals with the funds to launch their own nonprofits. But startin
21、g a nonprofit is a Herculean effort, requiring patience and determination. It may take at least six months to a year and as much as 30 to 40 hours a week to get an organization off the ground, McGrath says. Hiring an attorney experienced with nonprofits to handle statewide and federal applications i
22、s key. The 501 (c) (3) designation comes from the IRS (Internal Revenue Service), and nonprofits are expected to provide the government with such information as a mission statement, an idea of who will be assisted and by what methods, anticipated budget and board of directors, says Andrew Grumet, a
23、lawyer representing nonprofits with the Manhattan firm Herrick, Feinstein, LLP. Accountants familiar with nonprofits can advise on how much of an investment can be made without affecting personal wealth. But even with the best of intentions, nonprofits have a high failure rate : only one-third survi
24、ve beyond five years, says Stan Madden, director of the Center for Nonprofit Studies at the Hankamer School of Business at Baylor University in Waeo, Texas. The best approach is to start with a business plan. Research other organizations in the field to make sure there is no other group addressing t
25、he same cause. Consult with other charities to determine that there are constituents who can really use your services. As McGrath notes, “Consider a realistic and doable niche that your organization can uniquely fill. “ That is just what Beth Shaw, 41, did. The owner of a $4 million company that tra
26、ins yoga fitness instructors worldwide, Shaw used her knowledge of the market to launch Visionary Women in Fitness, which provides scholarships to underprivileged women so that they can train to become instructors. With a budget of just $30,000, the nonprofit, based in Hermosa Beach, Calif., is able
27、 to help 15 to 20 women a year learn a skill that can get them an entry-level job. “I have two homes and a successful business, so many young women out there have nothing,“ says Shaw, who has donated $50,000 of her own money since she launched the charity in June 2004. “This was the time in my life

33、.B.C.D.七、TEXT B(总题数：2，分数：7.00)“Death and the Surf, with its main character Fran, spends less time in Spain than in the creaky, peat-scented realmof bullfighting. There are thoughtful, well-researched sections on bull breeding, explanations of the byzantine system of scoring and scheduling profession
34、al bullfights, descriptions of the repertory of torero moves and the highly orchestrated three-act structure of the fight itself, as well as intelligent discussion of the work and influence of Hemingway, something an American journalist writing a book about bullfighting(with a protagonist who draws
35、his bloodline through“The Sun Also Rises, “no less)is going to have to reckon with. What Lewine has created may be the most in-depth, incisively written literary guide to bullfighting available in English. Every drunken sophomore riding the rails to Pamplona this summer ought to keep a Volume in his
36、 backpack. At times, though, “Death and the Sun“is too thorough a guide. We learn that seating sections in a bullring are Called tendidos, what kind of seat you can get for 3. 50 in Madrid and that Pamplona was under control of the Visigoths, Franks and Moors. Not only do we bear wimess to the gruel
37、ing nature of life on the road for Frans team, but we find out who gets to ride shotgun in the Mereedes minibus, where everyone else sits, and who brings a pillow. Maybe the deep reporting is meant to fill in for plot. In the end, Frans season doesnt have that Hemingway- Almodvar Spanish dramathose
38、lightsthat Lewine was probably hoping for There are some exciting moments but the narrative doesnt order itself into the classic three-act structure we expect stories about bullfighters and boxers to hew to, thanks to Ron Howard. So Lewine, a frequent contributor to The New York Times, is left tryin
39、g to pull the narrative torque from the person of Fran. Lewine writes often, and well, about how bullfighting is an art performed by two actors, one of them a 1, 200-pound horned ruminant bred to look scary and without much mind for collaboration. Its within this unpredictability that the beauty(and
40、 danger)of the bullfight lies; and sometimes the bull just doesnt cooperate. Fran himself, it turns out, wasnt very cooperative. He appears rigid, opaque, distant. Lewine had remarkable access to Fran and his cortege for the better part of eight months, but there are only a few human moments with th
41、e bullfighter, and even those are too small to stretch out into a character. He was in the middle of a public divorce, but youd barely notice. Too bad. As it is, if Fran is something other than reticent, noble and bullfighterly, you wouldnt know it from reading the book. This is the problem with the
42、 genre: you commit to your subject, invest a year of your life, but sometimes you end up with someone either too self-conscious or, like most athletes, too unreflective to reveal himself to you. Unlike Hemingway, if Lewine didnt know what his matador was thinking, he wasnt allowed to make it up.（分数：

D. actually an act performed by a group. （分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).As for the main character Fran, which of the statements is NOT true?A. He is a character that is with some connecti

The character is not light enough for the sport. （分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Concerning the book, which of Se following statements is true?A. The book is with

This book is actually a guide to bullfighting. （分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.Replying to our Christmas “good guru guide“, Peter Drunker, the gran
46、d old man of management theory, speculated that the word “guru“ had become popular only because “charlatan“ was too long a word for most headlines. Few people are easier to ridicule than management gums. Irrepressible self-publicists and slavish fashion-merchants, they make a splendid living out of
47、recycling other peoples ideas (“chaos management“), coining euphemisms (“downsizing“) and laboring the obvious (“managing by wandering around“ or the customer is king“). Their books draw heavily on particular case studiesoften out-of-date ones that have nasty knack of collapsing later. And their ide
48、as change quickly. Tom Peters, once a self-confessed sycophant to the corporate behemoth, is now an apostle of the small, chaotic, “virtual“ organization.Gurus do have their uses, however. Begin with the circumstantial evidence. In America, where management theories are treated with undue reverence, business is bouncing back. In Germany, where business schools hardly exist and management theory is widely seen as an oxymoron, many companies are in trouble. German business magazines are suddenly brimming with articles about “downsizing“ and “business process re-engineering“. In Jap
