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 16 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 17 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 18 again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving 19 , telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I didnt want to be bad enough. She drove that message 20 deep into 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 21 of us. At that moment, I decided never to be 22 again.Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point happened on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1916. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels for families and was 23 that they charged（收费）an extra $2 for each child. That was too 24 for most American families. I told my wife that I was going to open a hotel for families that would never charge extra for 25 . There were plenty of doubters at that time.Not 26 , 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 hard time. But with my mothers words deeply rooted in my heart, I 27 doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest 28 system in the world - Holiday Inn . In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns（客栈）in more than fifty countries with an income of $1 billion a year.You may not have started out life in the best situations.

Labour Day, or Workers Day, is an international holiday that honours working men and women, and the jobs they do.During the late 1880s, in many parts of the world, people worked for fourteen to sixteen hours a day in factories, and earned very little money. In the United States and Canada, working people got together to try to make their workplaces better. These groups of people formed unions (团体). The union leaders asked company directors for shorter work days and higher salaries (工资), but many of them refused to accept their ideas.On May 1, 1886, men and women in the United States and Canada stopped work and marched through cities and towns to try and force bosses to let them work an eight-hour day. In the city of Chicago, several people died in fights with the police. Over the next few years, people in cities around the world stopped working every May 1 to honour workers everywhere. By the early twentieth century, the first of May was a national holiday in many countries.In the United States and Canada, May 1 is not a holiday. North Americans celebrate Labour Day on the first Monday in September. Today in the Unites States, Labour Day is mostly about having fun. People enjoy a long weekend, and often celebrate by having barbecues or picnics with friends or family. In many parts of the Unites States, Labour Day is also the last day of summer vacation, and the students return to school the next day.34. People celebrate Labour Day to honour .

And the State Dining Room can hold one hundred and forty people for official dinners in honor of foreign leaders. The second and third floors are the familys areas.

Yet I did not know the real American society until I injured (伤害) in an accident, because after the accident I had to see a doctor and to court (法院). After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and decided to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $ 200 for what he had done. I was very surprised. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible (负责) for my injury. Id have to have a good lawyer (律师). And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him. But every time I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another, yet he charged me $ 115 each time. The final examination report was only ten lines, and it cost me $ 215. My lawyer knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided not to ask for him again. And he made me pay him $ 770. Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Because of my inexperience, I told the insurance company (保险公司)the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time, and I left without getting a cent. My experiences taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America money is everything. It is more important than friendship or honor. Secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated. So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides.42. The writers roommate offered to help him because _.

A good scent (气体),like flowers, brings you pleasure. A bad scent, like smoke or sour milk, warns you of danger. Most things around you release scent particles (微粒) into the air. These invisible chemicals enter the nose when you breathe. Nerves in the nose send information to the brain to identify a smell. You are able to recognize thousands of smells.Breathing Most of the air you breathe enters through your nose. The nose uses hair and mucus (粘液) to clean dust and germs (细菌) out of the air.
