| Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mom was one of those people. My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, "Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it." At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to. She drove that message so deep onto my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school-walking on my own! When the Great Depression (大萧条) hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again. Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time. Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mother's words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world-Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $ 1billion a year. You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you. |
| 1. What caused Kemmons to start a motel by himself? |
| A. His terrible experience in the hotel. B. His previous business success. C. His mother's objection. D. The doctor's words. |
| 1. Which of the following best describes Kemmons' mother? |

| Dear Abby, I am a very conservative woman. I don't drink, dance, wear makeups or pants. I enjoy the company of friends despite (尽管) our differences and thought they enjoyed mine. On our most recent outing, however, they laughed at my religious jewelry, commented on my "lack of fashion," and made me feel guilty for not wanting to stay out late. Despite this, they are great friends and would help me at the drop of a hat. I don't bring up their being overweight, or that I think some of the clothes they wear are ugly. I don't criticize them for sleeping around. I wish they would accept me for who I am. I am considering not going out with them the next time they ask, but I don't really want it to come to that. Any suggestions? Just an Old-Fashioned Girl _____________________________________________________________________ Dear Old-Fashioned Girl, Just this: It's time for you to start cultivating relationships with people whose values are more like your own.

| Robert Spring, a 19th century forger (伪造者), was so good at his profession that he was able to make his living for 15 years by selling false signatures of Americans. Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he became rich by selling his small but real collection of early U.S. autographs (手稿). Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began imitating signatures of George Washington and Ben Franklin and writing them on the title pages of old books. To lessen the chance of detection (察觉), he sent his forgeries to England and Canada for sale. Forgers have a hard time selling their products. A forger can't deal with a respectable buyer but people who don't have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their work look real. For example, they buy old books to use the aged paper of the title page, and they can treat paper and ink with chemicals. In Spring's time, right after the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the Southern states, so Spring invented a respectable maiden lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General "Stonewall" Jackson. For several years Miss Fanny's financial problems forced her to sell a great number of letters and manuscripts. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity did not prevent Spring from dying in poverty, leaving sharp-eyed experts the difficult task of separating his forgeries from the originals. |
| 1. Why did Spring sell his false autographs in England and Canada? |
| A. There was a greater demand there than in America. B. There was less chance of being detected there. C. Britain was Spring's birthplace D. The prices were higher in England and Canada. |
| 2. After the Civil War, there was a great demand in Britain for . |
| A. Southern money B. signatures of George Washington and Ben Franklin C. Southern manuscripts and letters D. Civil War battle plans |
| 3. Robert Spring spent 15 years . |
| A. running a bookstore in Philadelphia B. keeping in touch with Miss Fanny Jackson C. as a forger D. as a respectable dealer |
| 4. According to the passage, forgeries are usually sold to . |
| A. sharp-eyed experts B. persons who aren't experts C. book dealers D. owners of old books |

 1. Good communication is vital in modern society. We know that much of the communication is unspoken. Consciously or unconsciously, we show our true feelings with our eyes, faces, bodies and attitudes. Your good qualities can make good communication. The personal qualities include physical appearance, energy, rate of speech, pitch and tone of voice, gestures, expressiveness of eyes, and the ability to hold the interest of others. What should we do so that our communication will be effective? Here are my suggestions. 2. Firstly, the trick is to be consistently you, at your best. The most effective people never change character from one situation to another. They're the same whether they're having a conversation with their close friends, addressing their garden club or being interviewed for a job. They communicate with their whole being. 3. Secondly, whether you're talking to one person or one hundred, always remember to look at them. Don't break eye contact while talking. As you enter a room, move your eyes comfortably, then look directly at those in the room and smile. This shows clearly that you are at ease. Smiling is important. The best type of smile and eye contact is gentle and comfortable, not forced. 4. You should also absorb other people before showing yourself. You can't learn anything when you talk. When you attend a meeting, a party or an interview, don't immediately start throwing your opinions. Stop for a second. Absorb what's going on. What's the mood of the others - are they down, up, happy, expectant? Are they eager to learn from you, or do they show resistance? If you can sense what's happening with others, you will be better able to reach them. So, listen before you talk. 5. How do you get your energy up? Before the meeting, collect your thoughts about the goal of the meeting - yours and the other's. Once you go through the doorway, no longer think about yourself. Focus on the person you are meeting to find out what he is interested in. Properly collected energy comes across when we sincerely believe something. When you speak with energy, you are involved with your audience and your message. You create an air of certainty. The audience may disagree with you, but they can't question your belief. |

| Dear Wei Fang, It's a long time since I heard from you in last time. Now I'd like to tell you a impressive story that happened on the first day of my teaching career. A boy, Li Ming, whom father died a year ago, was late for school. He stood outside the classroom quiet. I smiled at him and let him come. After a while, he began to cry. Seeing this, I walked to him and asked what has happened. He told me his mother was ill but he had to get some medicine for her. At the same time he apologized to me for his lateness. Moved by his word, I praised him for his deeds and decided to sing a song was named "Mother" for the students. From then on I began to realize we should respect our parents and did our best to help them. Do you think so? I'm looking forward to your early reply. _____________________________________________________________________________ |
