without sounding surprised. If a guest asks for rubbers gloves, you don't ask why. You say, "No
problem. What color do you want?"
There have been some demands which, much as I would have liked to fill, I couldn't. A Japanese
businessman, for example, thought the manager of a hotel was like his girlfriend so he asked me to
marry him to the woman he loved. There was one time, however, we did help out. A young man thought
that if he asked his girlfriend to marry him at the Ritz(瑞士著名的豪华酒店)she would say yes. He
asked us to put the ring in a cake, and she accepted.
Top hotels are used more and more to impress. They are used for doing business. If you've got
something to sell, take your clients(客户) to the best hotel where the surroundings are quite helpful.
A friend of mine working at Savoy Hotel tells the story about a man who gave him 5 pounds to say "
Good morning, Mr. Smith saying, "I do wish they would leave me alone at this place."
According to Julian Payne, the most powerful people in any hotel are the porters, who carry bags
for hotel guests. "Porters can do almost anything. They can get you tables at the best restaurants or
tickets for a popular concert. Don't ask me how they do it or what their deal is because I don't know.
Most of them have been there for years. They know more about the history of the hotel and the guests
than anyone else. They are invaluable. A head porter will come in even on his day off so he can say
hello to someone he remembers visiting the hotel years ago."

查看习题详情和答案>>Each year, prizes are presented to adults who make great achievements in art, writing, science, and economics. So why not give awards to kids?
Harry Leibowitz asked himself that question in 1996. As an answer, he and his wife, Kay, created the World of Children organization and began handing out awards to kids and adults whose work has helped kids all over the world. The awards the World of Children presents are nicknamed（给……起绰号）the “ Children’s Nobel Prize”.
“You know, children are so important,” Leibowitz, a retired business manager, told me. “ We should have prizes for children if we’re going to have prizes for everything else.”
Talia Leman, from Iowa, was awarded a Founder’s Youth Award for Leadership this year. She is only 13 years old, but she has completed a lot. In 2005, she founded “ RandomKid”. Since then, it has raised more than$10 million to help kids in 48 states in the U.S. and in 19 other countries.
One place helped by RandomKid was a school built in Cambodia to enable 300 kids to go to school. The organization has also helped fix a school for 200 kids in Louisiana, and provided interactive play centers that serve more than 500 kids in hospitals in Iowa. In faraway places like Africa, RandomKid has provided money to buy water pumps（水泵）.
Talia never thought that the organization she founded would be as successful as it has become. She said, “ My first goal was to raise $1million. That seemed really high, but when you reach a goal, you always wind up reaching higher, and we actually raised $10 million.”
I asked her what advice she would offer to other young people who want to help kids in need. “ Well, I’d say the first thing would be to find an adult and tell them your idea,” Talia said. “ They’re really the people who can help, and from there I think it can just really take off.”
The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to tell us .
A. the origin of the Nobe1 Prize
B. the achievements Harry and his wife made
C. how the “ Children’s Nobe1 Prize” was started
D. how Harry and his wife helped kids
The World of Children presents awards to those who .
A. help the kids in the U.S B. realize the importance of education
C. raise a lot of money for the poor D. do a lot to help kids in need
Which of the following is TRUE about Talia?
A. She founded a hospital for 500 kids in Iowa.
B. She offered money to buy water pumps for Africans.
C. She helped teach 300 kids in a school in Cambodia.
D. She built a school for 200 kids in Louisiana.
What advice is given by Talia to those who want to help kids in need?
A. To ask for an idea from adults. B. To set a higher goal at first.
C. To win help from adults. D. To make an idea become popular.
