America has long been considered the land of opportunity(机遇)by those from other countries. Americans, too, believe that the United States gives almost limitless opportunity 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 free life styles. But more, not less paper work and responsibility come with the ownership of a small business .

　 Not all small businesses succeed. Fifty percent of the 4,550,000 that start in the United States ever fail(失败). Still ninety-five percent of businesses in the U.S. can be regarded as small, and these businesses altogether produce forty percent of America’s total national products.
