Passage Three
Questions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Script: I had lunch today with my friend Sue. She recently quit her job with a large company to strike out on her own. The start-up she launched provides technology consulting services for small- to medium-sized companies.
At first, she wasn't sure if she could raise the seed money she needed for the start-up costs. But, she was able to raise the capital by taking on a silent partner, her uncle, who had a lot of investment capital but didn't want to be involved in the day-to-day operations of a business now that he's retired.
One way that Sue is able to cut down on overhead is to make this a home-based business. She converted her garage into an office where she and her employees could work. Since most of the work would be done on site at her client's office, she didn't need a lot of office space. I asked Sue if she was nervous about quitting her job to start her own business. She said that it's a big risk but that she was looking forward to the challenge. If she fails, she said, she can always audition for American Idol. Well, I thought, I've heard Sue sing. I really hope her business takes off! 18.
A) She works in a large company. B) She runs a small sized company. C) She provides consulting services. D) She runs a medium sized company.

experience, make contacts, and get their foot in the door if the company or organization is looking for future employees. Similarly, a company gets unpaid labor and can see how well a person works before hiring that person for a full-time job.
Until recently, most interns have been students. With the weak economy, however, more and more people who have worked in their jobs for 10, 15, 20 years professionals who have been laid off are taking internships for some good reasons.
First, internships allow professionals to gain experience in close fields, giving them a wider range of knowledge and skills. Second, internships allow professionals to avoid gaps in their resumes. Traditionally, employers don't like gaps in resumes because the gaps may mean that a person has had difficulty finding a job, had personal problems, or, with a lot of gaps, had difficulty keeping a job. Employers may also see long gaps between jobs as a sign of worsening skills. Employers may be more forgiving of gaps these days, but as is true for college students, working in an internship also allows these professionals to show a company their skills, which may put them at the front of the line when any new jobs become available.
