That was in 2007. Years later, the Apple co-founder introduced the MacBook Air
28、, App Store and iPad. Tim Cook, who was 51 when he took over from Jobs, is building on his legacy. They both broke a myth that the young rule the technology industry.Silicon Valleys venture capitalists speak openly of their bias(偏爱) toward the young. “People under 35 are the people who make change h
29、appen； people over 45 basically die in terms of new ideas,” Vinod Khosla, a prominent investor, said at a conference.The result of this bias is that older entrepreneurs often are ignored while younger entrepreneurs(企业家) receive attention and funding. This is hurting the venture-capital system as wel
30、l as Silicon Valleybecause the stereotypes（模式化观念） are wrong.Research on successful technology firms looked only at companies that had made it out of the garage and were making at least $ 1 million in profits. The research revealed that the average and medium age of their founders was 39. Twice as ma
31、ny were older than 50 as were younger than 25. And twice as many were older than 60 as were younger than 20. In a follow- up project, we studied the backgrounds of 549 successful entrepreneurs in 12 high-growth industries. The average and medium age of male founders in this group was 40，and a signif
32、icant proportion（比例） were older than 50.There are lots of young founders in Silicon Valley, some of whom drop out of school to start their companies. The vast majority of these start-ups fail, however, because there is no substitute（代替） for experience and knowledge which come with age.Young entrepre
33、neurs surely have an advantage in social media and app building. They understand these new technologies better than their parents do because they have grown up using them. It is also easier to write code for a cellphone than to learn how to motivate and inspire employees, manage finances and market
34、products. But building a business requires all of those skills. That is why older entrepreneurs have more success. As baby boomers become as familiar with Internet and mobile technologies as their children are，they surely will give the youngsters a run for their money. They also have greater buying
35、power and a better understanding of the markets for the next generation of technologies.That is why we need to get beyond the stereotypes and realize that baby boomers are going to better the world.28.Which age group might the baby boomers belong to?A. Under 20. B. 20 to 30.C. 55 to 65.D. 35 to 4529
36、.From the passage, we can infer that _.A.people in their 50s are absolutely unable to come up with new ideasB.the average and medium age of the founders of technology firms was 50C.some young founders in Silicon Valley quit school to start their companiesD.younger people tend to have a better unders
37、tanding of the markets than old ones30.All the following statements explain why older entrepreneurs are more successful in building a business EXCEPT that _.A.they are more experienced and knowledgeableB.they know how to motivate and inspire employees, manage finances and market productsC.they have
38、greater buying power than younger onesD.they are more familiar with Internet and mobile technologies31.What is the passage mainly about?A.Why baby boomers are an important part of technologys future. B.Some Silicon Valleys venture capitalists speak openly of their bias toward the young.C.The young h
39、ave an advantage in social media and app building than the old.D.The young rule the technology industry.DIntelligence makes for better leaders from undergraduates（大学生） to managers to presidents according to multiple studies. It certainly makes sense that handling a market shift or anything alike req
40、uire intelligence. But new research on leadership suggests that, at a certain point, having a higher IQ stops helping and starts hurting.Although previous research has shown that groups with smarter leaders perform better by objectivemeasures, some studies have suggested that followers might subject
41、ively view leaders with extremely high intellect as less effective. Decades ago, Dean Simonton, a psychologist from the University of California, Davis, proposed that brilliant leaders words may simply go over peoples heads, their solutions could be more complicated to carry out and followers might
42、find it harder to relate to them. Now Simonton and two colleagues have finally tested that idea, publishing their results in the July 2017 issue of the Journal of Applied Psychology.The researchers looked at 379 male and female business leaders in 30 countries across fields including banking, retail
43、 and technology. The managers took IQ tests and each was rated on leadership style and effectiveness by an average of eight co-workers. IQ positively correlated （和.正相关）with ratings of leader effectiveness, strategy formation, vision and several othercharacteristicsup to a point. The ratings peaked（峰
44、值） at an IQ of around 120, which is higher than roughly 80 percent of office workers. Beyond that, the ratings declined(降低). The researchers suggest the ideal IQ could be higher or lower in various fields, to 140 or 100, depending on whether technical or social skills are more valued in a given work
45、 culture.Its an interesting and thoughtful paper,” says Paul Sackett, a management professor atUniversity of Minnesota, who was not involved in the research. “To me, the right interpretation（理解） of the work would be that it highlights（强调） a need to understand what high-IQ leaders do that leads to lo
46、wer understanding by followers,” he says. “The wrong interpretation would be, “Dont hire high-IQ leaders.The studys lead author, John Antonakis, a psychologist at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland, suggests leaders should use their intelligence to use creative language that will persuade and inspire othersthe way former U.S. President Barack Obama did. I think the only way a smart person can signal their intelligence properly and still connect with the people,” Antonakis says
