When I was a teenager, my dad did everything he could to dissuade(劝阻) me from becoming a brewer(酿酒师). He’d spent his life in local breweries, 36 making a living, as had his father and grandfather before him.
So I did as he asked. I went to business school and got a highly paid job at a business-consulting firm. 37 , after working there five years, I was haunted by 38 . Is this

what I want to be doing when I’m 50?
I remembered that some time before, my dad had been cleaning out the attic and 39 some old beer 40 . ―Today’s beer is 41 water that can hold a head,‖ he’d told me.
I agreed. Americans pay good money for 42 beer, I thought. Why not make good beer for Americans using my family way?
I decided to quit my job to become a brewer. When I told Dad, I was hoping he’d put his arm around me and get 43 about continuing tradition. Instead he said, ―Jim, that is the 44 thing I’ve ever heard!‖
45 Dad objected, in the end he became my new company’s first 46 , coughing up(支付) $40,000 when I opened the Boston Beer Company in 1984. Going from my fancy office to being a brewer was like mountain climbing: exciting, liberating and 47 . All my safety nets were gone.
Once the beer was made, I faced my biggest 48 yet: no one had ever heard of it. I needed a name that was 49 and elegant, so I called my beer Samuel Adams, 50 the brewer and patriot(爱国者) who helped to found the Boston Tea Party.
The only way to get the word out, I realized, was to sell direct. I filled my briefcase with beer and 51 every bar in Boston. Six weeks later, at the Great American Beer Festival, Sam Adams Boston Lager won the top prize for American beer. The rest is history. It wasn’t supposed to 52 this way ---what ever does? ---but in the end I was 53 to be a brewer.
My advice to all young entrepreneurs is simple: life is very long, so don’t 54 to make decisions. Life doesn’t let you 55 . 36. A. barely B. easily C. sufficiently D. adequately 37. A. Though B. Otherwise C. Still D. Anyhow 38. A. fear B. doubt C. regret D. desire 39. A. came across B. picked out C. put down D. brought about 40. A. receipts B. cans C. recipes D. labels 41. A. exactly B. particularly C. roughly D. basically 42. A. inferior B. superb C. fake D. sour 43. A. miserable B. amused C. misty D. concerned 44. A. dumbest B. smartest C. toughest D. rudest 45. A. As soon as B. As much as C. As far as D. As long as 46. A. employer B. customer C. investor D. salesman 47. A. inspiring B. relaxing C. pushing D. frightening 48.

A. make out B. reach out C. set out D. work out 53. A. appointed B. destined C. considered D. intended 54. A. hesitate B. need C. wait D. rush 55.

The highest beef prices in almost three decades have arrived just before the start of the hot season, causing a great shock to both consumers and restaurant owners-- and relief isn't likely anytime soon. A decreasing number of cattle and growing export demand from countries such as China and Japan have caused the average price of fresh beef to climb to $5.28 a pound in February, up almost a quarter from January and the highest price since 1987.
Everything that's produced is being consumed, said Kevin Good, an analyst at CattleFax, a Colorado-based information group. Prices will likely stay high for a couple of years as cattle
