根据短文内容选择最佳答案。(Choose the best answers according to the passage.)

  I grew up in a small town in Spain.One morning when I was 16, my father told me I could drive him into a village called Mijas, about 18 miles away, if I took the car in to be serviced(维修)at a nearby garage(修配厂).Thinking that I had just learned to drive, and hardly had the chance to use the car.I agreed happily.I drove Dad into Mijas and made sure to pick him up at 4 p.m., then drove to a nearby garage and dropped off the car.Because there were still a few hours to be left, I decided to watch movies at a theatre near the garage.However, when the last movie had finished, I was two hours late!

  I knew Dad would be angry.If he knew what I did, he would never let me drive again.So when I drove up to the place where we'd planned to meet and saw Dad waiting patiently on the corner, I told him that I'd come as quickly as I could, but the car had needed some special repairs.

  “I'm terribly sorry that you feel you have to lie to me, Jason.”

  “What do you mean, Dad? I'm telling the truth.”

  “I called the garage to ask if there were any problems, and they told me that you had not yet picked up the car.So I know there were no problems with the car.I'm angry, not with you but with myself.You see, I've failed as a father.I'm going to walk home now and think carefully about where I have gone wrong all these years.”

  “But Dad, it's 18 miles to home.It's dark.You can't walk home.”

  I pleaded(恳求)all the way, telling him how sorry I was.But nothing helped.I had to drive behind him for 18 miles.

  It was one of the most painful experiences I had ever had.However, it was also the most successful lesson.

  At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never   3   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 didn’t want to be bad enough.She   4   that message so deep into 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)  5  , my mom lost her job.Then I left school to support(支撑)both of us.At that moment, I decided never to be   6   again.

  Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success.But the real   7   point happened on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1916.I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels for families and was angry that they charged(收费)an extra $2 for each child.That was too   8   for most American families.I told my wife that I was going to open a hotel for families that would never charge extra for   9  .There were plenty of doubters at that time.

  Not   10  , 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 hard time.But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my heart, I   11   doubted we would succeed.Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world-Holiday Inn.In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $1 billion a year.
