i could see mr lee anytime around the neighborhood, so i just stood there. after wepassed him, my mother stopped and said something unforgettable, you let that be the last time you everwalk by somebody you know without opening your mouth to speak, because even a dog can wag its tail when it passes you on the street. that sentence sounds simple but it made me become who i am. at work, i used to say hello to the president of the company and ask him how our business wasdoing. but i also spoke to the people in the cafe? and people who cleaned the buildings, and asked themhow their children were doing, for every single person deserves to be accepted, no mater how humble(卑微的)they are. i remember that after a few years of passing by the president, i had the courage to ask him fora chat. we had a great talk. at some point, when i asked him how far he thought i could go in his company, he said that if i wanted to, i could get all the way to his seat. ive become vice president, but that hasnt changed how i treat people. i speak to people wherever i am. speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it lets them come into mine, too. the day you speak to someone who has his head down and then see him lift it up and smile, you will realize how powerful it is just to open your mouth and say hello.5. what is the best title of this passage?a. the power of being talkativeb.

help people work much better （c）to this day, i dont remember what the argument was about .i just remembered that it was a good one.i really loved my parents .i gave them no trouble and in turn they helped me a lot. best of all, i mostly had free use of our second car that i called the dragon. but sometimes she needed it. and thats what mom and i were arguing about as we stood there at the front door of the condo(公寓租房) it was really the only thing she and i ever argued about .that would explain why we were standing at the front door. i almost never used it because the back door was closer to where the cars were parked. so if i was it the front door, that meant i was coming in front having walked. but im not much of a walker . whatever we were arguing about, the words got heated enough to attract dads attention, and he wandered over to the front door and stood behind mom .that was sort of how it worked in our family .mom was the one who would discipline the children and i dont remember him ever refusing anything mom had decided. so mom and i was arguing and during argument i called my mom a no sooner had that word escaped, my lips but i felt the strong hand of my father against my cheek . it was the only time i can remember my father striking me. we all stood there ,staring at each other . finally i looked my dad directly in the eye.” i deserved that ,”i said.i really believed that. mom had kept telling me before : “you can choose your actions, but you cant choose the results of your actions.” we make choices, which affect others, and they react. recognizing that our choices have consequences is a good lesson that life teaches us.9.generally speaking, the author and his parents_.a. often had words with each other b. got along well with each other c. didnt respect his mother at all d. fought each other over the car10. who used the dragon most of the time?a. the authors father.b. the authors motherc. the author himself.d. the authors brothers.11. the main

the author ( d )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. when i was growing up, we lived a 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 badly enough. she drove that message so deep into my heart that i finally believed her. a year later, i returned to schoolwalking 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 $2 for each child. that was too expensive for the average american family. i told my wife that i was going to open a motel 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 designed the room style. as in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. but with my mothers words deeply rooted in my soul, i never doubted we would succeed. fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the worldholiday inn. in 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with income of $1 billion a year. you may not have started out life in the best situations. but if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.13. what kemmons mom often told him during
