Most dog owners feel that their dogs are their best friends．Almost everyone likes dogs because they try hard to please their owners．One of my favorite stories is about a dog who wanted his owner to please him．
One of my friends has a large German shepherd(牧羊狗)named Jack．Every Sunday afternoon, my friend takes Jack for a walk in the park．Jack likes these long walks very much．
One Sunday afternoon, a young man came to visit my friend．He stayed a long time, and he talked and talked．Soon it was time for my friend to take Jack for his walk, but the visitor didn't leave．Jack became very worried about his walk in the park．He walked around the room several times and then sat down directly in front of the visitor and looked at him．But the visitor paid no attention．He continued talking．Finally, Jack couldn't stand it any longer．He went out of the room and came back a few minutes later．He sat down again in front of the visitor, but this time he held the man's hat in his mouth．
German shepherds aren't the only intelligent dogs．Another intelligent dog is a Seeing Eye dog．This is a special dog which helps blind people walk along the streets and do many other things．We call these dogs Seeing Eye dogs because they are the “eye” of the blind people and they help them to “see”．Seeing Eye dogs generally go to special schools for several years to learn to help blind people．

Odland remembers like it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in Denver．The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman．
Thirty years have passed, but Odland can't get the memory out of his mind, nor the woman's kind reaction．She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odland,“It's OK．It wasn't your fault．”When she left the restaurant, she also left the future Fortune 500 CEO with a life lesson：You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter．
Odland isn't the only CEO to have made this discovery．Rather, it seems to be one of those few laws of the land that every CEO learns on the way up．It's hard to get a dozen CEO's to agree about anything, but most agree with the Waiter Rule．They say how others treat the CEO says nothing．But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the soul．
Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like,“I could but this place and fire you,”or“I know the owner and I could have you fired．”Those who say such things have shown more about their character than about their wealth and power．
The CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson．He wrote a best-selling book called Swanson's Unwritten Rules of Management．
“A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person,”Swanson says．“I will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rude to someone cleaning the tables．”

According to the text, most CEOs have the same opinion about ________．
Our boat floated on, between walls of forest too thick to allow us a view of the land we were passing through, though we knew from the map that our river must from time to time be passing through chains of hills which crossed the jungle plains．Nowhere did we find a place where we could have landed：where the jungle did not actually spread right down into the river, banks of soft mud prevented us going ashore．In any case, what would we have sailed by landing?The country was full of snakes and other dangerous creatures, and the jungle was so thick that one would be able to advance only slowly, cutting one’s way with knives the whole way．So we stayed in the boat, hoping we reached the sea, a friendly fisherman would pick us up and take us to civilization．
We lived on fish, caught with home-made net of string(we had no hooks), and fruits and nuts we could pick up out of the water．As we had no fire, we had to eat everything, including the fish, raw I had never tasted raw fish before, and I must say I did not much enjoy the experience; perhaps sea fish which do not live in the mud are less tasteless．After eating my raw fish, I lay back and dreamed of such things as fried chicken and rice, and ice-cream．In the never-ending damp heat of the jungle, ice-cream was a particularly frequent dream．
As for water, there was a choice：we could drink the muddy river water, or die of thirst．We drank the water．Men who had just escaped what had appeared to be certain death lose all worries about such small things as diseases caused by dirty water．In fact, none of us suffered from any illness as a result．
One day we passed another village, but fortunately nobody saw us．We did not wish to risk being taken prisoners a second time：we might not be so lucky to escape in a stolen boat again．
