Sarah Beatty: At the Forefront of Green Living
Green living marketplace is one of the fastest growing and most dynamic sectors today.
The eco-friendly or green lifestyle is being embraced by more and more consumers, from personal care products to automobiles to home building and decor and other aspects of living.
Sarah Beatty is one of the women at the forefront of the green living movement. She founded Green Depot in November 2005, the largest supplier of environment-friendly building materials on the east coast.
How did she start her business? In an interview with Good Housekeeping magazine, she related:
A week before I was due to deliver my first child, my husband and I discovered mold contamination in our newly remodelled home and were told our home may not be a safe living environment. I was shocked — and hormonal!
At the time there were not many resources for information or nontoxic products out there.
My husband owns a traditional building supply company and I had just left my job in TV production, so I suggested we start a satellite business, which ultimately became Green Depot.
Since its founding, Sarah’s company Green Depot now has stores in Boston, Brooklyn, Newark, Philadelphia with the Manhattan store soon to be com Dieted.
Her success is an example that great business ideas can come from ordinary problems in our everyday life.
The focus of business of her husband’s company shifted from building supply to satellite.
选项
A、Right
B、Wrong
C、Doesn’t say
答案
C
解析
该题干的改写是对信息点含义的一种推测演绎。文中信息点5指出:Sarah Beatty的丈夫有一家传统的建筑材料供应公司,而她自己刚刚离开电视制作工作,所以她建议丈夫和她一起开发卫星业务,该业务最终促成Green Depot公司的成立。而题干意为:Sarah Beatty丈夫公司的业务中心从建筑材料供应转到卫星服务。由原文可推断,Sarah Beatty丈夫可能分出公司的一部分资源和她一起开始新业务,也可能是他们两人合伙开办了另一家公司,或者是其他情况,原文并没有明确指出,故答案为C。
