BAmerica has long been considered the land of opportunity(机遇)by those from other countries. Amer icans, too, believe that the United States gives almost limitless opportunities for those who want to open business on their own.Today, Americans are still fond of trying their hand at becoming small business people, even though only one out of two survives in the first two years. Many of these people start their business for the wrong reason; to get away from the paper work of their present jobs or to exchange the responsibility(责任) of their present jobs for freer life styles.
