根据短文内容, 从下框A~F选项中选出能概括每段主题的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余项。
A. Hard work B. Principles for success C. Active learners D. A sense of humor E. A successful sales team F. A head start |
___________
I was hired to do some training for a sales team from one of the largest companies in America. There were 16 people on this team. That year their sales (for the 16 of them) were close to 250 million — that’s right, a quarter of a billion dollars! Needless to say, it was an excellent and interesting time. I decided to learn a little bit myself, so I watched them closely to see what kind of people they were and to see what common characteristics they shared.___________
They simply weren’t a terribly serious bunch of people. Instead, they saw that life was to be enjoyed and that means they were able to laugh a little bit. Sure, there were varying levels in this but they all had a sense of humor. They were able to laugh at circumstances, and they were able to laugh at themselves. It was quite refreshing and the most important key to their success, I’m sure.___________
They didn’t come from families that gave them a free pass into the upper rank of the business world and they didn’t get a head start from upper outside universities. What got them to where they are now? Hard work! That’s right, another example that if you put your mind to it, work hard and get in the right situation, you can achieve great things! These folks work long hours and are disciplined in the work they do. And it is paying off.___________
They were always occupied in the learning process. During my sessions they were attentive and listening. You could see their minds processing the information. They were asking questions and applying the material to their work and their lives. They wanted to improve in any way that they could. It was also interesting to watch them in their team meetings led by their sales manager. They were very interactive and were learning from one another. None of them was above learning from a colleague.___________
What did I see in these successful people? The same things that can make you a success as you apply the principles to your own life: a sense of humor, hard work, and a desire to learn at every turn.

Steve Paul Jobs was an American businessman and widely recognized as a pioneer of the personal computer revolution(革命). He was co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Apple Company. His death is a great loss to us. The following is some more information about him.
After Apple's founding, Steve Jobs became a symbol of his company and industry. At the time of his resignation, and again after his death, he was widely described as a pioneer and genius perhaps one of the foremost in the field of business, creation and product design, and a man who had changed the face of the modern world, completely changed at least six different industries. His death was considered a loss to the world by commentators(评论家) across the globe.
Memorial candles and iPads to Steve Jobs lie outside the Apple Store in Palo Alto, California. Apple has lost a creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve Jobs have lost a dear friend and an inspiring guide. Steve jobs leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.
As is still clearly remembered, it was not long before Steve Jobs left his office as CEO of Apple. But he remained at the company as chairman of the company's board. Hours after the announcement, Apple shares dropped by five percent in after-hour trading. The relatively small drop, when considering the importance of Steve Jobs to Apple, was associated with the fact that his health had been in the news for several years, and he was on medical leave since January 2011.
Steve Jobs took a job as a technician at Atari company in California in 1974. He traveled to India in the summer of 1974. Seven months later, he returned to Atari and was assigned to create a circuit board for the game Breakout. With Wozniak, the founder of Atari, Steve Jobs began attending meetings of the Homebrew Computer Club where he got to know Edwin H. Land, the inventor of instant photography and founder of Polaroid Corporation, and modeled his career after him.
Apple announced that it would buy NeXT for $429 million. The deal was finally made in late 1996, bringing Steve Jobs back to the company he co-founded. In order to concentrate Apple's efforts, Steve Jobs stopped a number of projects. With the purchase of NeXT, much of the company's technology found its way into Apple products. Under his guidance the company increased sales significantly with the introduction of the iMac and other new products. Since then, appealing designs and powerful branding have worked well for Apple.
