    When I came back from school, the first thing I noticed was a box with items I recognized from my dad's office.

    “What are you doing？” I asked casually.

    “Andrew, I was laid off today，” he answered quietly. I was sure he was joking. “No, you weren't. Why are you really home？”

    Then I noticed his seriousness and realized he was telling the truth. My father had always been a hard worker and prided himself on his career. Providing for our family had been his joy, and I guessed I had taken his work for granted.

    My father's unemployment created many changes in our lives. For starters, he was home all the time, which meant my bed had to be made, my room cleaned up, and my homework done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer searching for jobs. I began to notice how down he seemed, and how losing his job had affected his self－esteem, though he tried to be optimistic. For the first time, I saw my dad as vulnerable. He asked my brother and me to spend less. I gave up my allowance, which even though it wasn't much, felt like the right thing to do. I also found a part－time job.

    After several difficult months of searching, my dad decided to go in a totally different direction. He explained that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business. Day by day, I watched him build it, and I admired how much time and energy he expended.

    One evening I asked if he needed help. “Only__if__it__doesn't__interfere__with__school，” he said.

    I showed up at his office the next afternoon, and most afternoons after that for two months. I always knew he was a hard worker, but watching him in action really impacted me. Although this was one of the worst experiences for our family, it taught me a lot about dealing with adversity. Now I know that through creative problem－solving, I can always find Plan B, ask for help, and take risks. What I have learned from my dad's understanding of business and his work ethic are two of the most important lessons I will ever learn, and will be my foundations for success.

    Yelp, the San Francisco Internet company that makes reviews of restaurants and other businesses across a large part of America, is getting into the food delivery business.

    Today, the company has announced that it has agreed to acquire Eat24, a food company that delivers food to homes on behalf of partner restaurants. Yelp is paying $134 million for the company—$75 million in cash and the rest in stock. Eat24 works with 20，000 restaurants in more than 1，500 cities all over the U．S.

    On Yelp's reviews site, you can find new restaurants to suit your tastes, and now that the company is acquiring Eat24, the idea is that it will also let you take the next step: order food to your door.

    “If you're looking at a restaurant, you want to be able to book that restaurant，” Yelp co－founder and CEO Jeremy said in a Tuesday interview. “If we can integrate(融入) that into the Yelp experience, it makes the site much better.”

    The move is just one way that some of Internet's most recognizable names are branching into online food delivery to improve their existing business. Last August, payments company Square bought Caviar, a high－end quick food delivery service. And that same month, Uber tested a fast food delivery service called UberFRESH, which aimed to deliver meals from local restaurants to customers in less than 10 minutes.

    In each case, food delivery can provide an added source of income, and it can also help these companies push the use of their existing services. The market for food delivery is hardly small, and mobile technologies can speed up the process, potentially expanding the business even further.

Customers can do all the following on the new Yelp's website EXCEPT ________．

    After months of not commenting on the making of the biopic(传记片) Jobs, Apple co－founder Steve Wozniak has finally seen the finished film—and he's ready to weigh in.

    The film was clever and funny in parts—but it got much wrong, Wozniak told Bloomberg reporter Emily Chang.

    Primarily, Wozniak was disappointed by the way the movie portrayed people that Steve Jobs had cooperated with and learned from in his early days as a businessman.

    “I did not like seeing a lot of people I know not get the respect that they deserve in their relationship with Steve Jobs [in the film]，” Wozniak said. He didn't go into detail about who those people were.

    “When you make a movie about something that's real life you can never get [everything] right...but the concept of each scene and what it implies should be right and there were a lot of things wrong [in Jobs] that I knew about，” Wozniak continued. This has become a reoccurring theme in Wozniak's many press interviews about the film.

    Wozniak acknowledged the talent of actors in the film and described the film as “entertaining”， if not completely real to life.

    Of course, Ashton Kutcher—who stars in Jobs and helped to produce the film—has described his own take on the criticism.

    “Woz is being paid by another company to support a different Steve Jobs film，” Kutcher said in an interview with Hollywood Reporter, referencing the Alan Sorkin film scheduled to come out later this year. “It's__personal__for__him,__but__it's__also__business.__We__have__to__keep__that__in__mind.”

    Wozniak soon responded to Kutcher's attack in a post he wrote on Gizmodo: I suspect a lot of what was wrong with the film came from Ashton's own image of Jobs. Ashton made some dishonest and wrong statements about me recently (including my supposedly having said that the ‘movie’ was bad, which was probably Ashton believing pop press headlines) and that I didn't like the movie because I'm paid to consult on another one. These are examples of Ashton still being in character. Either film would have paid me to consult, but the Jobs one already had a script written. I can't take that creative leadership from someone else. And I was turned off by the Jobs script. But I still hoped for a great movie.

What can we learn from the third paragraph?
