21、Frank Woolworth was born in Rodman, New York, in 1852. His family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. Frank decided he did not want to be a farmer. He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman（销售员）in a large city.

Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract（吸引）people’s interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends（小商品）for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said “FIVE CENTS EACH”. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared. Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store, selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large numbers directly from the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.

By 1919, Woolworth had had over 1,000 stores in the USA and Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous around the world. He always ran his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was “THE CUSTOMER（顾客）IS ALWAYS RIGHT”.

【1】Frank took a short business course to ________.

A．make more money for his family

B．learn something from a salesman

C．get away from the farm

D．get enough to eat

【2】Frank sold the odds and ends quickly because ________.

A．he knew how to get people to buy his goods

B．he cut down the price by half

C．he had put the goods on a table in a very nice way

D．the sign he put on the table was well designed

【3】The price of the knives was cut down by half because ________.

A．the factory workers worked 24 hours a day

B．knives were ordered in large numbers directly from the factory

C．labour（劳动力）was cheap in Germany

D．the knives were from only one factory

【4】What makes Woolworth a world-famous man?

A．His business skills and his wealth（财富）.

B．The low price of the goods he sold.

C．His trip to Germany and his huge order of knives.

23、Years ago I worked at a factory in a small country. Every day I got up very early and often did much extra work at night. I was so tired and exhausted. My whole life was hopeless. Then one day I read the following article from a magazine:

“A woman went to live with her husband in camp on the Mojave Desert (沙漠) during the war. She simply hated the place: the heat was almost unbearable, 125 degrees in the shade, the wind blew incessantly（不停地）, and there was sand --- sand everywhere. Finally, in desperation (不顾一切地) she wrote to her parents in Ohio that she couldn’t stand it another minute and was coming home.”

Quickly came the reply by airmail from her father --- just two lines:

Two men looked out from prison bars. One saw the mud; the other saw stars.

The daughter did some real thinking, not only with the intellect (思维) but also with her heart. She decided to stick to her post.

She made friends with the natives, learned to love the country, and finally wrote a book about it.

The desert hadn’t changed, but her attitude had. Because she listened with her heart to the words her father sent, a whole new world opened up to her.

A change of attitude could change everything.

One day an old woman came into the shop. She was very rich and she came to the shop every week. She came to Sue’s chair and sat down.

“Good morning,” Sue said to her. “Do you want me to cut your hair today?”

“No,” the old woman said. “I don’t want you to cut it. I want you to dye it. My hair is white and I don’t like white. I want another color. Old people have white hair. I don’t want to be old.”

“Which colors do you want?”

“Which colors can I have?” the old woman asked.

“You can have black,” Sue said, “or brown. Some women are having red this year. You can even have blue.”

Then she stopped thinking about Tom and looked at the old woman’s hair. The hair was not black. It was pink.

Oh no! Sue cried. She looked at the bottle of dye. It was not the right bottle. “I must wash her hair again,” she thought. Then she remembered the dye would not come out in water. The old woman must wait until new hair grows. Oh, what shall I do? She’ll be very angry. Sue began to cry.

25、A man had a garden. He planted a rose and watered it 【1】 (careful). Before the rose blossomed(盛开), he noticed many thorns(刺) around the bud(花蕾) and he thought, “H【2】 can any beautiful flower come from a plant with so many sharp thorns?” Because of this i【3】, he lost interest in this kind of plant. Then he gave up watering the rose. And just 【4】 it was ready to blossom, it died.

Good qualities are just like roses. There is a rose in everybody’s spirit. The good 【5】 (quality) planted in us at birth grow among the thorns—our weaknesses. Many of us look at 【6】 (we) and we only see our weaknesses. We lose heart, thinking that n【7】 good can possibly come from us. We give up watering the roses in us, and slowly they die. We never realize the g【8】 for being able to find out our good qualities.

Someone may not see the rose in himself, so we need to 【9】 (help) him discover the rose. With love, we can accept a person into our life, even though we know his true weaknesses. At the same time, we should e【10】 him to face his weaknesses bravely and correct them.

Then he will blossom many times.
