1.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 tat 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 1979my company had 1,759inns 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.

46.What caused Kemmons to start a motel by himself?B
A.His previous business success.
B.His terrible experience in the hotel.
C.Loving,supportive and strong-willed.
D.Strict,sensitive and supportive.
47.Which of the following best describes Kemmons'mother?C
A.Modest,helpful,and hard-working.
B.Careful,helpful and beautiful.
C.Loving,supportive and strong-willed.
D.Strict,sensitive and supportive.
48.Which of the following led to Kemmons'success according to the passage?D
A.A poor family,higher education,self-confidence and hard work.
B.Mom's encouragement,a poor family,higher education,and opportunities.
C.Mom's encouragement,a poor family,higher education,and clear goals.

12.Picture a library without books?
Unlike many people today,I don't own a Kindle or any type of e-reader.I prefer the
old-fashioned book.There is something about holding a book and being able to turn the
pages that I find comforting.Today books may become obsolete.That's something I find
scary.
I remember one episode (一段情节) from a TV science-fiction series Twilight Zone,
which is about a librarian who has become obsolete.Though this episode aired in 1961,the
writer of the series,Rod Serling,was exactly on point when it came to predicting the future.
In fact,in San Antonio,Texas,the first-ever bookless library in the country opened.
The library is full of iMacs,tablets and iPads which cost a huge $2.3 million.The library offers around 10,000 e-books.So the question is:Is this what the future will soon be?
Digital libraries may help the environment by not using paper.However,I feel like
something will always be lacking with a digital book.A digital library is just the beginning.
With new technology,people seem to be more absorbed in their own world.Though
social media is great,it also is addicting and has negative effects.Often when I go on
Facebook it just makes me feel worse about myself.I'll see many of my 800 Facebook
friends showing off their newest accomplishment or acceptance to college.Additionally,
our society is becoming increasingly lazy.For instance,instead of doing mental math,
people use their phone to solve 89+74.It is simple tasks like these that are allowing people to lack important educational and social skills.
It is up to us to find a balance between technology and human values and interactions.
With new technology being created every day,we need to learn how to use it alongside our
great minds.After all,inventions are supposed to benefit society,not harm it.In the day of technology,who knows what's next?

C.The situation of books today is similar to what Rod Serling predicted in the episode.
D.The episode airing in 1961was the most entertaining of the TV science-fiction
series.
38.What can we learn about the library in San Antonio,Texas?D.
A.It is the first-ever library in America.
B.It is of no practical use although it costs so much.
C.It hlds an exhibition of much electronic equipment.
D.People can read e-books there with the help of the new facilities.
39.Which of the following will the writer probably disagree wih?C
A.Great as social media is,it does have some negative effects.
B.With the increasing use of social media,something will actually be lost.
C.Through social media,people can develop educational and social skills around.

16.Our house was directly across the street from the clinic entrance of John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore.We lived downstairs and rented the upstairs rooms to out-patients at the clinic.
         One summer evening as I was fixing; supper,there was a knock at the door.I opened it to see a truly awful looking man-no taller than my eight-year-old-I thought as I stared at the shriveled (皱缩的)body.But the shocking thing was his face-twisted from swelling.
         He told me he'd been hunting for a room since noon but with no success."I guess it's my face…,but my doctor says with a few more treatments …"
         I told him we would find him a bed.When I had finished the dishes,he told me he fished for a living to support his daughter,her five children,and her husband,who was hopelessly disabled from a back injury.He didn't tell it by way of complaint; in fact,every other sentence began with a thanks to God for a blessing.He was grateful that no pain accompanied his disease,which was apparently a form of skin cancer.
         The next morning before lie left for his bus,he asked if he could come back and stay the next time he had a treatment.I told him lie was welcome to come again.
         In the years he came to stay overnight with us,there was never a time that he did not bring us fish or oysters or vegetables from his garden.
         When I received these little gifts,I often thought of a comment our next-door neighbor made after he left that first morning."Did you keep that awful looking man last night?I turned him away.1 You can lose roomers by accommodating such people!"
         Maybe we did lose roomers once or twice.But oh; If only they could have known him,perhaps their illnesses would have been easier to bear.I know our family always will be grateful to have known him; from him we learned what it was to accept the bad without complaint and the good with gratitude.

13.I recently had dinner with someone who told me that one of his best friends had been killed in a private plane crash,and something happened at the memorial service that he'll never forget.He shared the story with me.
At the memorial service,his friend's wife walked to the platform to speak to the gathering. She said a friend had asked her the best memory she had of their life together.At the moment,she had been too sad to answer,but she had thought about it since and wanted to answer the question.
They were in their late forties when he died,and she began talking about a time in their life almost twenty years earlier.She had quit her job to obtain her master's degree,and her husband never hesitated in his support.
He held down his own job and also did the cooking,cleaning,and other housework while she studied for her degree. One time they both stayed up all night.She was finishing her paper,and he was preparing for an important-business meeting.That morning,she walked out of her study,leaned against the door by the stairs,looked at her husband downstairs and just thought about how much she loved him.She knew how important this meeting was to his future,and she was feeling guilty that she didn't even have time to make his breakfast.He took his briefcase and hurried out.
She heard the garage door open and close,but much to her surprise,she heard it open again about thirty seconds later.From above,she watched her husband dash into the house and walk over to the forgotten coffee table.Marking the surface of it with his finger through the dust with the words"I love you",then he raced back to his car.
The new widow then looked out at her audience and said,"John and I had a wonderful life together.We have been around the world several times.We've had everything money can buy…but nothing comes close to that moment."
    Hearing this,I was deeply moved."Love makes life worthwhile."
