Passage 3
Silicon Valley is a magnet（磁石；磁铁；有吸引力的东西）to which numerous talented engineers, scientists and entrepreneurs（企业家）from overseas flock to in search of fame, fast money and to participate in a technological revolution whose impact on mankind will surely surpass the epoch-making（具有时代意义的；划时代的）European Renaissance and Industrial Revolution of the bygone age（昔日，往日）.
With the rapid spread of the Internet and the relentless（坚韧的，不屈不挠的；不懈的）technological innovations generated through it, the information era is truly upon us, profoundly influencing and changing not only our lifestyle, but also the way we work, do business, think and communicate with others.
It is noteworthy that close to 50% of its skilled manpower, including engineers, scientists and entrepreneurs, come from Asia. Prominent among them are Indians and Chinese, and not a few Singaporeans.
Intellectual challenges aside, it is a common practice for start-ups（创办中的企业、公司等，新兴企业）to offer generous share options to employees in order to attract the right talent into their folds（〔集合词〕〔具有共同信仰的〕信徒，此处指具有同一理想或信念的人群）. This is a powerful incentive to motivate the staff to do their utmost and to share in the company’s prosperity if it reaches its goal. Many regard this as the foundation of a successful enterprise.
