　　While you may think that being smart and talented would logically make someone successful in running a business，unfortunately，this is often not the case.

　　This problem starts back in school when the stressful “group projects” are first assigned.The smartest don't want to risk their grade in the class by dividing the work equally and hoping that an average student does his part well.They just take over and do the whole project themselves.

　　And thus begins the smart璸eople work cycle.The smartest people do just about everything better than most everyone else until it comes to running a business.They are not better.A smart person who can't stand someone else doing a job badly dotes everything himself.Then，he is stuck with the one­man band “job­business” and ends up not being able to grow.However，it is quite interesting and strange that some “slackers” (a person who is lazy and avoids work) are better suited to be a business leader than the “smart” people.

　　Smart and talented people often have a gift for the unusual，complicated or different.They don't like to follow the KISS principle (keep it simple，stupid)，which is required to make a business succeed.Maybe you think the global presence of McDonald's complex，but in reality，in the company，every single task is broken down into easy­to­follow steps and everything has been standardized.These successful companies have just a few smart enough people to run the majority of the tasks in a way that can't be screwed up by their average employees.So，being smart or talented isn't going to help you unless you can use those smarts to figure out a way to simplify those tasks that will make a business successful.

　　Another issue with the smart people starting businesses is that they often have the most to lose.The smarter you are，the more options you have available to you.You will be able to make a lot of money in various fields and have room in your career to become promoted.This means that when you start a business，you have a lot more to risk than those who are not equally smart.This is often referred to as the “golden handcuffs” dilemma.

　　So，don't be surprised when the person “MOST Likely to Succeed” from high school ends up as an employee and it is one average student that finds success in his or her own business.

　　4．In group work，smart students often take over the whole project because they believe

　　．rform better than others

　　C．the group projects are too stressful

　　D．average students are unwilling to participate

　　5．McDonald's is used as an example to prove that

　　(一个人很懒避免工作)是更适合成为一个商业领袖的“智能”的人。4．解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The smartest don't ...hoping that an average student does his part well.”可知智商高的人不愿意看到普通人做的和自己一样好也就是认为自己做的比别人要好。故选B。5．解析：选D。推理判断题。根据第四段中的“every single task is broken down into easy­to­follow ...standardized”可知成功的大企业把所有的工作都标准化处理简化每一步使普通员工都能执行。故选D。6．解析：选B。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“you have a lot more to risk than those who are not equally smart”可知跟那些不太聪明的人相比你要更多地去冒险。故选B。7．解析：选D。文章主旨题。根据第一段给出的几个关键词可知选项D与开篇段落最为接近起到吸引读者注意的作用。故选D。阅 Are teams and individuals asking for help with their business writing skills？1.
