Chap. 6 How to Be a Successful Businessperson

adapted from The Wall Street Journal

Have you ever wondered why some people are successful in business

and others are not? Here's a story about one successful businessperson.

He started out washing dishes, and today he owns 168 restaurants.

Zubair Kazi was born in Bhatkal, a small town in southwest India.

His dream was to be an airplane pilot, and when he was 16 years old, he

learned to fly a small plane.

At the age of 23 and with just a little money in his pocket, Mr. Kazi

moved to the United States. He hoped to get a job in the airplane

industry in California. Instead, he ended up working for a company

that rented cars.

While Mr. Kazi was working at the car rental company, he frequently

ate at a nearby KFC restaurant. To save money on food, he decided to get

a job with KFC. For two months, he worked as a cook's assistant. His job

was to clean the kitchen and help the cook. "I didn't like it," Mr. Kazi says,

"but I always did the best I could."

*1. started out : began his career

*2. he ended up working : after much effort, he got a job

*3. to save money on food : to spend less money on food

*4. did the best I could : did as well as l was able; worked as hard as I could

One day, Mr. Kazi's two co-workers failed to come to work. That

day, Mr. Kazi did the work of all three people in the kitchen. This really

impressed the owners of the restaurant. A few months later, the owners

needed a manager for a new restaurant. They gave the job to Mr. Kazi. He

worked hard as the manager, and soon the restaurant was making a profit.

A few years later, Mr. Kazi heard about a restaurant that was losing

money. The restaurant was dirty inside, and the food was terrible - greasy

and undercooked. Mr. Kazi borrowed money from a bank and bought

the restaurant. For the first six months, Mr. Kazi worked in the restaurant

from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week. He and his wife cleaned up

the restaurant, remodeled the front of the building, and improved the

cooking. They also tried hard to please the customers. If someone had

to wait more than ten minutes for their food, Mrs. Kazi gave them a free

soda. Before long the restaurant was making a profit.

A year later, Mr. Kazi sold his restaurant for a profit. With the money

he earned, he bought three more restaurants that were losing money.

Again, he cleaned them up, improved the food, and retrained the

employees. Before long these restaurants were making a profit, too.

Today Mr. Kazi owns 168 restaurants, but he isn't planning to stop

there. He's looking for more poorly managed restaurants to buy. "I love

it when I go to buy a restaurant and find it's a mess:' Mr. Kazi says. "The

only way it can go is up"

Chap. 7 The Growth Of Urban Farming

For most people living in cities, buying fresh vegetables and fruits

means a trip to the supermarket. But how far does the produce have

to travel to get to the store? In the United States, the average American

produce has to travel 2,400 km to reach the supermarket where it is

sold. And many other kinds of produce in the supermarkets are imported

from other countries, especially in the winter. It isn't hard to find fresh

strawberries in the middle of January in Chicago. They have been flown

in from South America.

The United States isn't the only country that imports food. Most

countries do. In fact, in Japan, 60 percent of supermarket food comes

from overseas. In the United Kingdom, some studies say that 40 percent

of food is imported. The city of London alone imports 80 percent of its

food from as close as Europe and as far away as South Africa and New

Zealand. If your bananas traveled 5,000 km to reach you, are they

still "fresh?"

*1. produce : fresh vegetables and fruits

*2. imported : brought in from another country

*3. flown in : brought in by airplane

*4. studies : reports

*5. ship : send, transport

*6. carbon energy : energy from oil or oil-based products

A lot of oil is used to grow and ship the food you find in the

supermarket. Many studies say that ten calories of carbon energy

are used to make and deliver every one calorie of food we eat, and not

everyone is happy about this. Some people want to use less energy because

it's better for the environment. Others want to use less energy because

they are worried that oil prices will rise in the future.

Recently, the answer for more and more people is to grow their

own food - even if they live in crowded cities. This trend, called urban

agriculture, or urban farming, can be found all over the world. In Tokyo,

Japan, for example, the recruitment company Pasona has been growing

food inside its office building for several years. They started with a rice

paddy inside their building. Recently, they moved their urban farm,

called Pasona O2, to a new building, where they are growing not only rice,

but 200 other kinds of plants, including many vegetables. In other parts of

Tokyo, some restaurants are growing food in roof gardens, or even on the

outside walls of their buildings.

In Frankfurt, Germany, there is a popular community-based group

that rents small pieces of land for people to grow their own food. Office

workers can now become "farmers" by coming to take care of their plants

once or twice a week and enjoy eating their own fresh produce as well.

Another community-based group, called Brooklyn Grange, grows

vegetables on New York City rooftops and sells them to people and

businesses around the city. Brooklyn Grange welcomes people to

volunteer with them and learn more about farming. In addition to

learning some useful skills, they say volunteering is a good way for people

to get to know other people in their neighborhoods.

How much food can people grow in small spaces? In the city of

Pasadena, California, the Dervaes family grows almost all of the food it

eats in an area that is only about 400 square meters. They started this

project in the 1980s because they wanted to live their lives using very little

or no carbon energy. They also have an online journal and blog to teach

other people how to grow their own food.

In fact, it's easy to find blogs by urban farmers who are sharing their

stories and farming tips with people all over the world. Urban farming

isn't just helping people grow fresh food. It is also helping communities to

develop and grow in city neighborhoods and online around the world.

Chap. 8 Can You Live Forever?

There's an old saying: An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Certainly,

apples are good for you, but can eating them really help you avoid getting

sick? Could they even help you live forever? Eating apples may not be

enough, but there's at least one man who thinks that living forever is

possible.

Ray Kurzweil: Inventor and Futurist

Ray Kurzweil was born in 1948 and grew up in New York City.

Kurzweil is an inventor and is well known for his work in technology.

Many of his inventions have been in the area of artificial intelligence,

to or AI for short. Kurzweil is also well known as a futurist - a person who

has strong ideas about how the future might be, or perhaps should be,

based on his knowledge of science.

Kurzweil's View of the Future

Kurzweil believes that by 2050, there will be a new technology called

nanobots, tiny machines that will be so small that billions of them

will be able to travel inside your body and fix problems in each cell.

Kurzweil also believes that by then, computers will be able to think just

like a person's brain. He just has to live long enough so that he can take

advantage of these inventions. He believes that diet and exercise are

the keys.

Kurzweil's Plan: Diet and Exercise

Besides all of his famous work in technology and futurology, Kurzweil

may be best known for what he eats and drinks. Kurzweil and his personal

doctor, Dr. Terry Grossman, have created a special diet and exercise program.

Using these tools and a few others, Kurzweil hopes to live forever.

Kurzweil drinks very large amounts of water every day. He believes that

a lot of water is needed to get all of the toxins out of his body. He never

drinks soft drinks or coffee, but he does drink green tea. He thinks it does

many good things for his body.

*1. inventor : person who makes, or creates, new things

*2. artificial intelligence (AI) : machines that can "think" like a person's brain does

*3. tiny : very small

*4. billions : one billion = 1,000,000,000

*5. cell : the smallest living part of an animal or plant

*6. take advantage of : make full use of something

*7. diet : what you eat and drink

*8. toxins : things that are bad for your body; poisons

Kurzweil also believes that certain kinds of foods are unhealthy. Instead

of eating foods like white bread, potatoes, and white rice, he thinks people

should eat foods like whole wheat bread and brown rice. For many years,

Kurzweil has not eaten any food that has sugar in it. He eats mostly

vegetables, lean meats, and tofu.

Kurzweil also does a few other things for his health. He tries to have

very little stress in his life, and he makes sure he gets enough sleep every

night. He exercises daily and meditates regularly as well. Kurzweil also

takes special vitamins and other supplements that he feels will help slow

the aging of his body. In fact, he takes over 150 different supplements

every day.

The Race Between Age and Invention

Will this routine help him live until 2050? Maybe. Kurzweil regularly

takes tests to check the "age" of his body. When he was 40 years old,

the age test said his body was like a 38-year-old's. In 2009, at age 61, the

same test said that his body was like a 40-year-old's. He feels that if his

body only seems 2-3 years older after 20 years, living until 2050 may be

possible.

"Plan B"

What if his body dies before nanobots can save him? Kurzweil is

already planning to have his body frozen by a company called the Alcor

Life Extension Foundation. They will keep his body frozen until they feel

that the technology is ready to bring him back to life.

Many scientists believe that Kurzweil's ideas about living forever are

not really scientific at all. But Kurzweil thinks that as long as he waits for

enough technological inventions, both his mind and his body may be able

to live forever.

*9. lean : with very little or no fat

*10. meditates : thinks deeply in a special way to become calm and peaceful

*11. supplements : things that are added to your diet, like vitamins or special herbs

*12. frozen : made very cold, like ice

Chap. 9 Baseball Fans Around the World

Baseball is a very popular sport in Asia, North America, South America, and even Europe. While the rules of baseball are similar from country to country, the behavior of baseball fans is very different. Here's a look at some of the differences in fan behavior around the world.

In Japan

Baseball fans in Japan are loud - really loud. The sound of chants, cheering, drums, and trumpets continues n[안내]태그제한으로등록되지않습니다-onstop throughout a baseball game in Japan. When a team goes to bat, their fans sing a different song for each batter at the plate. And even when their team is losing badly, Japanese fans continue to yell and scream. Foreign baseball players in Japan are often surprised that the fans never boo a player. According to the American pitcher Brian Warren, baseball is more fun in Japan. "When I used to play in Venezuela;" Warren said, "fans threw things at me when I didn't pitch well." This never happens in Japan.

When a Japanese player hits a home run, the fans give the biggest cheer of all-a banzai cheer. That's when the fans yell with both of their arms above their heads.

*1. goes to bat : takes their turn hitting the ball

*2. boo : make the noise "boo!" to show disapproval

In Korea

Baseball fans in Korea are just as loud as the fans in Japan! In Korea, many fans use thundersticks to cheer their team on. Thundersticks are long plastic tubes that are sold in pairs. A fan hits the two thundersticks together to make a loud noise, encouraging their favorite players (or distracting the team they don't like). Cheerleaders are also a big part of baseball games in Korea. They lead the fans in songs, chants, and dances.

When a player does well, the cheerleaders and the fans celebrate by doing a special dance created just for that player.

In the United States

Asian visitors to the United States are often surprised and disappointed by how quiet American baseball fans are. "When I went to a baseball game in San Francisco, everybody was just sitting there watching the game. It was kind of boring; says Barry Iwasa, a Japanese student at the University of California, Berkeley. "Baseball was invented in the United States;' Iwasa says, "but Americans don't seem

very excited about their game:

It's true. Baseball fans in the United States are some of the quietest in the world. It's common to see baseball fans eating hot dogs and popcorn, and chatting with friends. "When I go to a baseball game," says Ginger Hanson from San Francisco, "I want to have fun with friends and catch up on their lives. The real reason I go is for the social experience."

In the Dominican Republic

Like the fans in Japan, the fans in the Dominican Republic cheer loudly throughout the game. They also sing and dance! Since music and dancing are an important part of Dominican culture, you might even find a merengue band moving through the stands at a baseball game.

Despite the music and dancing, many Dominican fans are very serious about baseball. Carol Parmenter, an American living in the Dominican Republic, says, "At Dominican games, you see groups of men drinking small cups of sweet coffee, carefully analyzing every pitch, every hit, every play. American fans don't usually follow the game that closely."
