9.When her five daughters were young,Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity(团结).To show this,she held up one chopstick,representing one person.Then she easily broke it into two pieces.Next,she tied several chopsticks together,representing a family.She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks.This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.Helene Ann and her family own a large restaurant business in California.However,when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975,they didn't have much money.They moved their family to San Francisco.There they joined Danny's mother,Diana,who owned a small Italian sandwich shop.Soon afterwards,Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant.The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young.However,Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.
Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves,but one by one,the daughters returned to work in the family business.They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles.Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other,they worked together to make the business successful.Daughter Elizabeth explains,"Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity,and to have unity we must have peace.Without the strength of the family,there is no business."
Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996,with three generations of Ans working together.Now the Ans'corporation makes more than $20 million each year.Although they began with a small restaurant,they had big dreams,and they worked together.Now they are a big success.

分析 文章通过讲述一个家族企业的发展历程来强调家庭团结的重要性.Helene和丈夫离开越南时,他们并不富有.Helene给她的女儿讲述了一个关于团结的故事.几双筷子被绑在一起将会很难被折断,家庭亦是如此.
解答 32.A.细节理解题. 根据第一段"she tied several chopsticks together,representing a family.This lesson about family unity…"可知,Helene把筷子绑在一起并试着折断它们,是为了显示团结的力量.
33.B.细节理解题. 根据"when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975,they didn't have much money."可知,当离开越南时,Helene夫妇并没有太多的钱.
34.C.推理判断题. 根据倒数第二段"Eventually the girls all graduated from college"排除A;根据"the daughters returned to work in the family business"可知,Helene的女儿们相继都回到了家族企业,但文中未提到她们无法承受家族企业里的工作,排除B;根据"they worked together to make the business successful"可知,虽然有分歧,但她们还是齐心协力地工作,排除D.
35.D.选择最佳标题.根据第一段"Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结)."和第三段"to succeed we must have unity"与第四段"and they worked together.Now they are a big success."可知,文章主要讲的是家庭团结对取得成功的重要性.文章没有讲怎样经营一家大型公司,也没有提到怎样实现伟大梦想.
