nobody will give me an aid?

It seems to me that the phrase "within two years" implies a general situation.

icbc2006 is right.

假设你用 has failed, 那不是从过去两年前，到现在一直都在 fail, 而原文没有持续动作的含义呀。

作者表达的是一般状况，只不过讨论的是从过去两年中总结出的结论而已。

And since it is general situation, the sentence should use simple past tense

within后面不是跟last two year,所以不是过去时

One of every two new businesses fails within two years.

如果是one of the two new businesses或者是one of two new businesses是不是要接复数动词呢？

我记得one of +复数名词要用复数动词

only one of+复数名词要用单数名词。

也是单数

one of +复数名词 +that从句+复数动词

only one of+复数名词+that从句+单数动词。
