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, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. 1________________ We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and 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 no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough. 2________________A year later, I returned to school — walking on my own!

When the Great Depression (大萧条) hit, my mom lost her job. 3________________At that moment, I was

determined never to be poor again.

I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time.

Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. 5________________But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my soul, 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 of $ 1 billion a year.

Billy cupped both hands in front of him as he walked, careful not to spill the water he carried. Branches slapped (拍打) his face but he kept walking into the woods. 3. ______________________ Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked right up to them. I saw a baby deer lying on the ground. It was dying of thirst, and it lifted its head with great effort to drink the water in my boy’s hands.

When the water was gone, Billy ran back to the house. I followed him to the tap. Billy opened it and a small trickle (涓涓细流) came out. He knelt there, letting the drips (水滴) slowly fill up his ―cup‖.

Now I understood what was going on. The week before, he tried giving water to our horses but I told him not to waste water. Now when he stood up and turned, I was there in front of him. His eyes filled with tears. ―I’m not wasting,‖ he said. 4. ________________________ I let him walk to the baby deer alone while I stood at the edge of the woods. As tears rolled down my face, they were suddenly joined by other drops...and more drops...as if the sky itself were weeping (落泪).

A. I joined him with a small pot of water from the kitchen. B. He almost noticed that I was following him. C. It hadn’t rained in almost a month. D. Then I saw an amazing sight. E. This went on for an hour.

Astronauts, people who fly into space, need special training. First they go to Houston, Texas. 1 There they are tested to see how strong and smart they are.

One of the first tests is for the heart. The people walk or run. 2

Then another important test is performed. In this test the person must curl (蜷曲) his body up in a ball. Then when he is in that position, he is put into a round cloth bag. The doctors give him no idea how long he will have to stay in the bag. If a spaceship broke down in space, the astronauts would get into bags like these. 3 You can see that an astronaut must not be fearful of (afraid of) tight spaces or of darkness.

After the tests, only the best people are chosen to start astronaut training in a training center.

4 .They learn how to jump out of a moving airplane. They learn to blow up a lifeboat and get into it while they are in the ocean. The astronauts also have to learn how to get lifted out of the ocean by a helicopter. That may look like fun, but it can be dangerous.

After they finish training, the astronauts continue to work. They stay in good shape by running and doing exercise. 5 . That way they can learn new facts about space travel. Then the big day comes. The astronaut is told to go to work on a flight into space. The crew members get to know each other first. Then they can learn which jobs each will do.

A. They read about their special jobs

B. That is the home of the Johnson Space Center.

C .Next the space doctors see how fast their hearts are beating D .The astronauts in training learn many other things.

E. Then they would have to wait, curled up in darkness, until help could arrive.

Already she was the first woman to swim the English Channel in both directions. Now, at age 34, her goal was to become the first woman to swim from Catalina Island to California coast.

On that Fourth of July morning in 1952, the sea was like an ice bath and the fog was so dense she could hardly see her support boats. Sharks swam towards her, only to be driven away by gun shots.

The scientists say that the human body has changed very little since human first appeared on earth,__________________1_______ .

Plant a Row for the Hungry

By Jeff Lowenfels

It was a cold night in Washington, D.C., and I was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me. He asked if I would give him some money so he could get something to eat. I'd read the signs: \give money to panhandlers.\

I wasn't prepared for a reply, but with resignation, he said, \ou can come with me and watch me eat!\

The incident bothered me for the rest of the week. I had money in my pocket and it wouldn't have killed me to hand over a buck or two even if he had been lying. On a frigid, cold night, no less, I assumed the worst of a fellow human being.

Flying back to Anchorage, I couldn't help thinking of him. I tried to rationalize my failure to help by assuming government agencies, churches and charities were there to feed him. _______________2________________ Somewhere over Seattle, I started to write my weekly garden column for The Anchorage Daily News. Out of the blue, I came up with an idea. Bean's Cafe, the soup kitchen in Anchorage, feeds hundreds of hungry Alaskans every day. _________________3______________________ Dedicate a row and take it down to Bean's. Clean and simple.

We didn't keep records back then, but the idea began to take off. Folks would fax me or call when they took something in. Those who only grew flowers donated them. Food for the spirit. And salve for my conscience.

In 1995, the Garden Writers Association of America held their annual convention in Anchorage and after learning of Anchorage's program, Plant a Row for Bean's became Plant a Row For The Hungry. The original idea was to have every member of the Garden Writers Association of America write or talk about planting a row for the hungry sometime during the month of April.

As more and more people started working with the Plant a Row concept, new variations cropped up, if you will pardon the pun. Many companies gave free seed to customers and displayed the logo, which also appeared in national gardening publications.

Row markers with the Plant a Row logo were distributed to gardeners to set apart their \ Garden editor Joan Jackson, backed by The San Jose Mercury News and California's nearly year-round growing season, raised more than 30,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables her first year, and showed GWAA how the program could really work. Texas fruit farms donated food to their local food bank after being inspired by Plant a Row. Today the program continues to thrive and grow.

I am stunned that millions of Americans are threatened by hunger. If every gardener in America - and we're seventy million strong - plants one row for the hungry, we can make quite a dent in the number of neighbors who don't have enough to eat._________________4____________________

A.Besides, you're not supposed to give money to panhandlers. B.So I shook my head and kept walking.

C. Maybe then I will stop feeling guilty about abandoning a hungry man I could have helped. D. At last I feel that I have done enough and feel proud again.

E. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row in their gardens dedicated to Bean's?
