There are many reasons that founder-led companies are so good at disrupting industries and making life miserable for slow-moving incumbents. But perhaps the most powerful is that founders create great insurgencies. They ignore established industry rules and boundaries. They create better ways to solve old problems. They disdain anything that blurs their focus on the front line. From top to bottom, they are at war against the industry leaders on behalf of undeserved customers.
Our research on what we call the “founder’s mentality” shows that maintaining a strong insurgent mission is critical to long-term, sustainable growth. But to compete long term, insurgent companies also need to develop scale and scope, which very often dulls their insurgent’s zeal. In many ways, this is because their perspective on the future slowly changes. Insurgents see the days ahead—both long and short term—as ripe with opportunity. They embrace change and chaos. They invest in whatever it takes to innovate new solutions for customers. Incumbents, on the other hand, very often see the future as a threat. As leaders invested heavily in the status quo, innovation and disruption are not good for them. Turbulence erodes profitability; innovation marginalizes their current product offerings. The future is not better.
The companies that find a way to achieve scale without losing their insurgent mission---we call them “Scale Insurgents”--remain acutely alert to this difference in perspective. They actively fight back against the very natural tendency to retreat behind the castle walls to avoid future change and turbulence. Instead, they do what in some companies might seem like heresy---they commit to disrupting their own insurgency. They know that acquiring the benefits of scale requires ruthless focus on a well-defined core business and a commitment to building the systems and processes to support it. But they aren’t wedded to their business model—they are wedded to what will serve their customers best. Rather than erecting defenses against the future, they embrace the notion of limitless horizons—the idea that a company can intelligently extend the boundaries of its core ever outward.
According to paragraph l, why are founder-led companies often considered as “insurgents”?

With only a fortnight left before the deadline,not even a third of companies,charities and public bodies have met their legal requirement to yublish figures on their gender pay gaps.There was plenty of notice that all with more than 250 employees would need to do so.The slow Dace indicates the low priority afforded to such concerns and,perhaps,a hope that embarrassing figures will be buried in a late rush of filings.It seems probable that many organisations will not comply,and it is unclear whether and how they will be punished.They should be.The figures are not perfect.Nonetheless,the data published so far is powerful.Few if any women will be surprised that male colleagues outearn them per hour.But cold statistics have real force when'they show disparities as stark as these:men at the UK wing of Coldman Sachs International earn more than twice the mean hourly pay of women.Such figures demonstrate to each woman that the problem is not an isolated case,but structural.They are not alone.Now they can prove it.So far,many firms have boasted that they are commnted to diversity and that they pay the same for the same kind of work.This is not deserving of a gold star;equal pay is a legal reqUJrement,in place for almost half a century.The shame is that it is not,in fact,being met in full.Worse,many companies seem to have missed the point.They say,in essence,that the gap exists because the senior jobs are dominated by men.This is not an explanation of the problem.It is the problem itself.The pattern of more women in low-paid jobs and fewer in high-paid jobs is seen in most organisations,across very different sectors;and it is why the figures showing employment rates per quartile are every bit as important as the hourly comparison.Some women may simply leave organisations that do not reward them.Good for them;bad for the companies losing talent unnecessarily-bu will their bosses realise this?The time for excuses and explanations is over.Real progress requires a broader response,with management,unions and politicians putting forward concrete plans to change the culture through measures such as blind CVs and unconscious-bias training;and setting specific,numerical targets.The equalities watchdog should call out those who do not report,and those whose figures are woeful.The duty to report these figures is an annual one.There is a risk that their effect may dwindle in the more than twice the mean hourly pay of women.But close analysis and publicity could make them more powerful,not less;it will become evident that some companies are closing the gap while others are making little or no progress."The truth will set you free,said Gloria Steinem."But first,it will piss you off.Prepare to get angry！

There are many reasons that founder-led companies are so good at disrupting industries and making life miserable for slow-moving incumbents. But perhaps the most powerful is that founders create great insurgencies. They ignore established industry rules and boundaries. They create better ways to solve old problems. They disdain anything that blurs their focus on the front line. From top to bottom, they are at war against the industry leaders on behalf of undeserved customers.
Our research on what we call the “founder’s mentality” shows that maintaining a strong insurgent mission is critical to long-term, sustainable growth. But to compete long term, insurgent companies also need to develop scale and scope, which very often dulls their insurgent’s zeal. In many ways, this is because their perspective on the future slowly changes. Insurgents see the days ahead—both long and short term—as ripe with opportunity. They embrace change and chaos. They invest in whatever it takes to innovate new solutions for customers. Incumbents, on the other hand, very often see the future as a threat. As leaders invested heavily in the status quo, innovation and disruption are not good for them. Turbulence erodes profitability; innovation marginalizes their current product offerings. The future is not better.
The companies that find a way to achieve scale without losing their insurgent mission---we call them “Scale Insurgents”--remain acutely alert to this difference in perspective. They actively fight back against the very natural tendency to retreat behind the castle walls to avoid future change and turbulence. Instead, they do what in some companies might seem like heresy---they commit to disrupting their own insurgency. They know that acquiring the benefits of scale requires ruthless focus on a well-defined core business and a commitment to building the systems and processes to support it. But they aren’t wedded to their business model—they are wedded to what will serve their customers best. Rather than erecting defenses against the future, they embrace the notion of limitless horizons—the idea that a company can intelligently extend the boundaries of its core ever outward.
In the author’s opinion,what is a “scale insurgents”?
A.startup company that maintains its original quality in the process of scaling up

资料：What if you were told there was a way you may strengthen your cognitive skills and heighten your intelligence, and all you had to do was was learn to strike up basic conversations in another language?
It probably sounds great, because if you’re like most you would love to be able to speak a second language. But then, you recall your experience in high school foreign language-boring tote memorization and long hours with little progress-and perhaps it doesn’t sound so good any more.
But, what if you were told it would take only 10 days to be on your way to becoming bilingual? Most people recognize the many benefits of learning a foreign language: You can travel to foreign countries and fell comfortable, be a more productive and enticing employee in today’s competitive job market, and immerse yourself in the vast cultures that surround you.
But now, the collective evidence from a number of recent studies suggests that the bilingual experience improves the brain’s so-called executive function-a command system that directs the attention processes that we use for planning, solving problems, and performing various other mentally demanding tasks.
These processes include the ability to ignore distractions to stay focused, switching attention willfully from one thing to another, and holding information in the mind-like remembering a sequence of directions while driving.
Even better, new approaches to learning mean you can learn a new language without the endless repetition, homework, and memorization. One of the most powerful actually trains people to start speaking a new language in as little as 10 days! In fact, it’s so powerful, even the FBI has purchased it!

资料：Think for a moment of your definition of persuasion. If you are like most business people I have encountered, you see persuasion as a relatively staightforward process. First, you strongly state your position. Second,you outline the supporting arguments, followed by a highly assertive, databased exposition. Finally, you enter the deal-making stage and work toward a “close.” In other words, you use logic, persistence, and personal enthusiasm to get others to buy a good idea. The reality is that following this process is one surefire way to fail at persuasion.
Persuasion,in fact,involves demands-compromise. Perhaps that is why the most effective persuaders seem to share a common trait: they are open-minded, never dogmtaic. They enter the persuasion process prepared to adjust their viewpoints and incorporate others’ ideas. When colleagues see that a persuader is eager to hear their views and willing to make changes in response to their needs and concerns, they respond very positively.
What is the main difference between the “persuasion” of most businesspeople and that of the effective persuaded?A.Most businesspeople see persuasion as a straightforward process
B.Unlike most businesspeople effective persuaders are willing to adjust their opinions and hear from others
C.Effective persuaders are open-minded
D.Most businesspeople are more assertive in their persuasion while effective persuaders are more friendly

These processes include the ability to ignore distractions to stay focused, switching attention willfully from one thing to another, and holding information in the mind-like remembering a sequence of directions while driving.
Even better, new approaches to learning mean you can learn a new language without the endless repetition, homework, and memorization. One of the most powerful actually trains people to start speaking a new language in as little as 10 days! In fact, it’s so powerful, even the FBI has purchased it!

资料：What if you were told there was a way you may strengthen your cognitive skills and heighten your intelligence, and all you had to do was was learn to strike up basic conversations in another language?
It probably sounds great, because if you’re like most you would love to be able to speak a second language. But then, you recall your experience in high school foreign language-boring tote memorization and long hours with little progress-and perhaps it doesn’t sound so good any more.
But, what if you were told it would take only 10 days to be on your way to becoming bilingual?

All but the tiniest of roads have to have names so they can be recognized on a map,and so people can ask?directions to them.Americans name a lot of bridges,too.
Very often these names carry a clear geographical reference the Pennsylvania Turnpike,for example.Or,like?the George Washington Bridge,roads and bridges are named for famous historical figures or powerful officers.
We make a big deal out of naming things,as when someone decided to name an airport after a U.S.judge.So?now we have the Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.
Many,if not most,of our college buildings are named for wealthy people who gave a lot of money to the?schools.And our sports centers took this idea a step further.Companies paid a whole lot of money for what′s called?the"naming rights"to U.S.Cellular Field in Chicago,for example,and Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.
Now the governor（州长）of Virginia,Bob McDonnell,wants to sell naming rights to roads and bridges in the state.He says not just companies,but also wealthy people,would help the Virginia transportation budget（预算）by paying to have their names--or perhaps those of loved ones--placed on roads and bridges,and thus on maps as well.
People hold different views,however.Supporters say Americans are used to having things sponsored（赞助）.
Others disagree,considering the idea as the next step in the"companies of America."They wonder how far such an?idea might spread,and where it would end:at the Burger King Pacific Ocean,perhaps.
Who are many college buildings named for according to the passage?A.Powerful officers.
B.Famous judges.
C.Historical figures.
D.Wealthy people.
