【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[听力原文] I want to move on now and take a look at the entrepreneurial process. There are six basic steps that most entrepreneurs follow when they start their businesses. In the first step, they identify a problem; in other words, they see a need or problem that no one else sees. Then, in the second step, they think of a solution, what needs to be done to solve the problem or meet the need. I think we've already seen several examples today of people who saw a need or an opportunity and then came up with a creative solution to the problem. Step three is to prepare a business plan. A business plan. This means looking at things like equipment, location, financing, marketing, and so on. There are thousands of details to think about when you start a new business; the next step, the fourth step, is putting together an entrepreneurial team; in other words, hiring the right people to work with the entrepreneur in the new business. After that, the fifth step is something called test marketing. That's test marketing. This involves making and selling a small amount of the product or service. And if customers like the product or service, then, finally, entrepreneurs go to the sixth step, which is raising capital. Now, in this case, capital does not mean a city, it means money. It's another word for money. The entrepreneur has to raise a lot of money in order to produce and sell the product or service in large quantities. I want to say, in conclusion, that entrepreneurs like Jeff Bezos are among the most respected people in the United States. They are cultural heroes, like movie stars or sports heroes. Why? Because, starting with a dream and working very hard, these people created companies that solved serious, important problems. They provided jobs for millions of people, and in general their companies made life easier and more pleasant for all of us. If you ever order a book from Amazon.com, or eat a Mrs. Fields cookie, say thanks to the remarkable people who created these companies.
