问题     It’ s time to stop complaining. The economy might be melting down like a pat of(一小块)butter on a hot Hummer(悍马)roof, but for some people—you, maybe? —this could be a very good thing.
    Here’ s why. At no other time in recent history has it been easier or cheaper to start anew kind of company. Possibly a very profitable company. Let’ s call these start-ups LILOs, for "a little in, a lot out". These are Web-based businesses that cost almost nothing to get off the ground yet can turn into great moneymakers.
    How do you get started? All that’ s required is a great idea for a product that will fill a need in the 21st century. These days you’ d do best if your idea either makes people money or saves them money. And launching now will make your company stronger later—you’ll learn to survive on fumes until the economy improves.
    That’ s what John Tayman is doing. He’ s a writer living in San Francisco, where I met him; he wrote reviews for a business magazine I edited. Tayman knew little about technology and even less about business. And yet he dreamed of a website that would summarize car reviews from other sources and rank every model of new car. "It’ll be like RottenTomatoes. com meets Kelley Blue Book," he explained to me during lunch one day last June. Tayman said he intended to build the site on the side while continuing to write for a living. He’ d work on his new company only at night and on weekends. Oh, yes, and he had only about $ 10, 000. "Good luck with that!" I thought. Ideas are much easier to hatch than they are to execute.
    Tayman went to work with nothing more than his PowerBook laptop. A very organized fellow, he quickly discovered a lot of freebies(免费的东西)online—instructional manuals and sites aimed at bootstrappers(靠自我奋斗取得成功的人)—that walk you through the process from start to finish. The common wisdom would suggest that Tayman couldn’ t have picked a worse time to start a company that depends on automotive advertising. But he knew that going in(被理解). "I wanted to launch into(开始从事，投入)the dip so that by the time advertising improves, my site MotorMouths will be sitting pretty," he says.
What can we know about John Tayman?
选项 A、He is a writer who specializes in writing reviews for business magazines.
B、He is familiar with technology and business.
C、He wishes to run a Web-based business with a small sum of money.
D、He is an expert in summarizing car reviews.
答案C
解析 事实细节题。第四段第二旬说约翰·泰曼是个作家，他为作者编辑的一本商业杂志写评论，并未说他是专门写商业评论的作家，故排除A选项；第三句说约翰·泰曼对技术一窍不通，对商业也是知之甚少，故可排除B项；第四旬说他梦想开个网站，后面又提到他只有一万美元的启动资金，由此可知C与文意符合。D文中未提到。
