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. Mom and I lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she 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 I could walk again if I wanted strongly enough. She drove 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) hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support both of us. At that moment, I decided never to be poor again.
Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point happened on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I wasn't satisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they asked me an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for many American families. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never ask extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time.
Of course mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. But with my mother's support and encouragement, I never 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 (收入) of $ 1 billion 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.

A man walked in the desert for two days.1 met a sandstorm during the trip.And then,he lost the sense of direction.While he was unable to hold on,he suddenly found a small old house.There was only some wood inside.He walked to the corner hopelessly,but suddenly2 a water pump(泵).

He went to draw water(抽水),but he couldn't pump water no matter how hard he tried.He sat on the ground3 .Just at that time,he saw a small bottle with a cork(瓶塞).There was a yellow4 posted on the bottle,which read," You must put the water into the pump before you can draw water!Don't5 before you leave,refill(重新注满) it with water!" He pulled the cork and found the bottle was really filled with water!He could hardly believe his luck.

At this moment,he thought,"6 I only think about myself,as long as I drink the water in the bottle,I can be7 to go out of this desert!If I do as the note told,I might be thirsty to death.Will I take the risk or not?"

Finally,he made a8 to do what the note told him and began to draw water with his shaking hands.Sure enough,the water really9 !

After he drank enough water,he filled the bottle with water.He enveloped(封住) it10 the cork and added his words after the note,"Believe me it's really useful.You should learn to pay before you get it!"

Cloze

The English teacher came into the classroom with test papers in his hands. He said with a smile, "I know there are too many tests for you these days, but the test today is very1 .It is different from your other tests." The teacher started to hand out the test papers to each student.

There was only a small black " X " in the middle of the paper. The students were very 2 to see that.The teacher noticed the students' surprise.Then he said, "I want you to 3 what you see there. You must finish it by yoursclves."

All the students 4 about it hard and then wrote down their answers quietly. The next day,   the teacher said, "You only paid attention to the black ' X  ' , but nobody wrote about the white paper."

The whole class listened 5 , because they worried that they might fail the exam.

Then the tcacher said, "Don't worry. I just want you to think about your 6 .The white paper is like your whole life and the black ' X  ' is just like the problems in your daily life."7 , the students understood what the test was about.

Life is a wonderful 8  , full of love and care. If you only care about the problems, you'll never 9 that they are much smaller than everything else life gives you. So it' s better to look on the bright side, 10 each moment, and find happiness in life.
