Accounting is More Than Numbers

Accounting could date back to about 7,000 years ago. People of that time relied on old accounting methods to record the growth of crops and herds. Accounting has greatly developed with the growth of joint-stock companies.

When you think of accounting, you may find pages of tables and numbers. That image doesn't usually give you too much excitement. When you have your own business, though, those numbers come to mean the world to you because they give you the record of how much money you've earned or lost.

Actually, accounting is not simply about strange dollar amounts or boring numbers; they're your sales figures, your costs, and your profits. In other words, accounting is a language of business. Once you know how to work with those numbers, how to read those numbers and how to read the story they tell, you will be able to manage your business toward greater success.

Most parents work hard at either preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards. A mother describes her child’s hastily making table as ―Perfect! even though it couldn’t stand on uneven legs. Another way is to shift blame. If John fails science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.

The trouble with failure-prevention methods is that they leave a child unequipped for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time —and that it’s possible to enjoy a game even when you don’t win. A child who’s not invited to a birthday party, who doesn’t make the honor roll or the baseball team, feels terrible, of course. But parents should not offer a quick comfort prize or say, ―It doesn’t matter because it does. The young should be allowed to experience disappointment —and be helped to master it.

Failure is never pleasurable. It hurts grown-ups and children alike. But it can make a positive contribution to your life once you can learn to use it. Step one is to ask ―Why did I fail？ Control the natural impulse to blame someone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong, how you can improve. Second, is the goal you’re to reach the right one？ Think about this question. ―If you dosucceed in this, where will it get me？ This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn’t be doing anyhow. The third thing to keep in mind about failure is that it’s part of life. Learn to ―live with yourself even though you may have failed. Remember, ―You can’t win themall.

SECTION B INTERVIEW

Directions: In this section you will hear everything ONCE ONLY. Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow. Questions 1 to 5 are based on an interview. At the end of the interview you will be given 10 seconds to answer each of the following five questions.

Now listen to the interview.

听力原文：Interviewer: Mrs.. Leech, can you describe some of the things your school does with aggressive children？

Mrs. Leech: Well, you must realize that when he comes here he is meeting other aggressive children, and aggressive children all together usually sum each other up.

Interviewer: Uhumm.

Mrs. Leech: And they find that aggressiveness here doesn't pay off because you can be jolly sure there's one tougher and worse than he is.

Interviewer: Uhumm.

Mrs. Leech: So I usually have, eh,... I say usually,...

Interviewer: Uhumm.

Mrs. Leech: Sometimes have organized fights. I...

Interviewer: Organized fights？ You actually...

Mrs. Leech: Yes.

Interviewer: You actually encourage the children to ...

Mrs. Leech: We have a ring and we have a bell.

Interviewer: A boxing ring？

Mrs. Leech: Yes!

Interviewer: Uhumm.

Mrs. Leech: And er... they must conform, they must keep to the rules, and when they have either lost or won, we discuss after a) what it is like to be the winner and b) what it is like to lose. And we carry on with our discussion and go on to what it is like in life.

Interviewer: Hmm.

Mrs. Leech: We must win or lose and we must do each very gracefully.

Interviewer: Can you give some reason why children are aggressive.

Mrs. Leech: If a child is one of six or seven children.., er... it's pretty sure that he is naughty and aggressive because he is crying out for attention and in this large family he's found that a jolly good way of getting attention is to shout, be naughty. At least mummy turns round and says, "Be quiet,...

Interviewer: Uhumm.

Mrs. Leech: Be a good boy, or you'll get this or that.

Interviewer: So some children are aggressive simply in order...

Mrs. Leech: To gain attention!

Interviewer: To gain...

Mrs. Leech: Aggressiveness usually is that. It's...

Interviewer: Uhumm.

Mrs. Leech: It's really the children crying out and saying, "Look at me, please."

Interviewer: Umm.

Mrs. Leech: I'm not saying it's the answer in all circumstances but it usually is.

Interviewer: Can you give some of the advantages of your school, as compared with ordinary schools.

Mrs. Leech: The classes are smaller for one thing.

Interviewer: How small？

Mrs. Leech: Er... we only have groups up to five or six.

Interviewer: Uhumm. And in a normal school？

Mrs. Leech: Oh, well.., that varies, of course, but it could be thirty to forty.

Interviewer: Uhum.

Mrs. Leech: Urn... here he does have individual attention every day.

Interviewer: Er... do you think the work is important？

Mrs. Leech: I du. Er... without our unit or something similar...

Interviewer: The unit is the school？

Mrs. Leech: Yes, the whole unit.

Interviewer: Uhum.

Mrs. Leech: I think a lot of children would be left and then perhaps at the age of sixteen, we wonld have our juvenile delinquent. I'm not saying we're curing them all.

Interviewer: Uhum.

Mrs. Leech: But I think at least with the unit available to these children, they have had a chance to make good.

Interviewer: Ummm.

Mrs. Leech: I'm not saying it always pays off, but they have had a chance.

What sort of children attend Mrs. Leeches school？

A．Naughty and violent.

B．Slow and retarded.

C．Wicked but clever.

D．Deserted but aggressive.

2 Machines have a certain novelty value, like toys for adults.

3 It is certainly less tiring to put clothes in a washing machine, but the time saved does not really amount to much: the machine has to be watched, the clothes have to be carefully sorted out first, stains removed by hand, buttons pushed and water changed, clothes taken out, aired and ironed.

4 It would be more liberating to pack it all off to a laundry and not necessarily more expensive, since no capital investment is required.

5 Similarly, if you really want to save time you do not make cakes with an electric mixer, you buy one in a shop.

6 If one compares the image of the woman in the women's magazine with the goods advertised by those periodicals, one realizes how useful a projected image can be commercially.

7 A careful balance has to be struck, if you show a labour-saving device, follow it up with a complicated recipe on the next page; on no account hint at the notion that a woman could get herself a job, but instead foster her sense of her own usefulness, emphasizing the creative aspect of her function as a housewife.

8 So we get cake mixes where the cook simply adds an egg herself, to produce "that lovely homebaked flavour the family love", and knitting patterns that can be made by hand, or worse still, on knitting machines, which became tremendously fashionable when they were first introduced.

9 Automatic cookers are advertised by pictures of pretty young mothers taking their children to the park, not by professional women presetting the dinner before leaving home for work.

According to the passage, many of the home electric goods which are supposed to liberate women______.

A．remove unpleasant aspects of housework.

B．save the housewife very little time.

C．save the housewife's time but not her money.

D．have absolutely no value for the housewife.
