How to be a Successful Businessperson

Have you ever wondered why some people are successful in business and others are not?Here's a story
about one successful businessperson.He started out washing dishes and today he owns 168 restaurants.
Zubair Kazi was born is Bhatkal a small town in southwest India.His dream was to be an airplane pilot
and when he was 16 years old,he learned to fly a small plane.
At the age of 23 and with just a little money in his pocket,Mr. Kazi moved to the United States.He
hoped to get a job in the airplane industry in California.Instead,he ended up working for a company that
rented cars.
While Mr. Kazi was working at the car rental（租赁的）company, he frequently ate at a nearby KFC
restaurant.To save money on food,he decided to get a job with KFC.For two months,he worked as a cook's
assistant.His job was to clean the kitchen and help the cook."I didn't like it,"Mr. Kazi says,"but I always
did the best I could."
One day,Mr. Kazi's two co-workers failed to come to work.That day,Mr. Kazi did the work of all three
people in the kitchen.This really impressed the owners of the restaurant.A few months later,the owners
needed a manager for a new restaurant. They gave the job to Mr. Kazi.He worked hard as the manager and
soon the restaurant was making a profit.
A few years later,Mr. Kazi heard about a restaurant that was losing money.The restaurant was dirty
inside and the food was terrible.Mr. Kazi borrowed money from a bank and bought the restaurant.For the
first six months,Mr. Kazi worked in the restaurant from 8 a. m. to 10 p.m,seven days a week.He and his
wife cleaned up the restaurant,remodeled the front of the building,and improved the cooking.They also
tried hard to please the customers.If someone had to wait more than ten minutes for their food,Mrs.Kazi
gave them a free soda. Before long the restaurant was making a profit.
A year later,Mr. Kazi sold his restaurant for a profit.With the money he earned,he bought three more
restaurants that were losing money.Again he cleaned them up,improved the food and retrained the
employees.Before long these restaurants were making a profit,too.
Today Mr. Kazi owns 1 68 restaurants,but he isn't planning to stop there.He's looking for more poorly
managed restaurants to buy."I love it when I go to buy a restaurant and find it's a mess."Mr. Kazi says.
"The only way it can go is up."

Mr. Kazi decided to work with KFC to_________.
A:learn how to cook
B:save money for a car

Too Late to Regret It

When I was a junior,I met a second-year student in my department. He wasn't tall or good-looking,but he was very nice,attractive and athletic.He had something that I admired very much. He was natural,warm,and sincere.
I disregarded（不顾）my parents' disapproval. We were very happy together. He picked me up from my dorm every morning,and after class we would sit alongside the stream that ran through campus, or sunbathe（晒太阳）on the lawn. At night he would walk me back to my dorm. He came from a poor family,but in order to make me happy,he borrowed money from his friend to buy presents and meals for me.Our fellow students looked up to him as a role model,and the girls envied （妒忌）me. He wasn't a local, but wanted to stay here after graduation. I thought we had a future together.
However,I got a part-time job that paid pretty well during the summer vacation.
With my good performance at school,I also got admission to graduate school at one of China's best universities.He,on the other hand,did not do so well at school or at work.I had to worry about his living expenses,job and scores.
Almost all my colleagues and friends advised me to break up with him. Then we had a quarrel last June.He was in great pain,and my cold words and bad moods started turning him away.
Graduation time was drawing near,and he said he wanted to go back to his hometown.He said that he couldn't put up with me anymore.I was shocked and looked at him in despair.
True love happens only once,but I found it out too late.

Upon learning that he would leave her,she was______.
A:very happy
B:extremely joyful
C:quite relieved
D:in great pain

How to be a Successful Businessperson

Have you ever wondered why some people are successful in business and others are not?Here's a story
about one successful businessperson.He started out washing dishes and today he owns 168 restaurants.
Zubair Kazi was born is Bhatkal,a small town in southwest India.His dream was to be an airplane pilot
and when he was 16 years old he learned to fly a small plane.

At the age of 23 and with just a little money in his pocket,Mr. Kazi moved to the United States.He
hoped to get a job in the airplane industry in California. Instead,he ended up working for a company that
rented cars.
While Mr. Kazi was working at the car rental（租赁的）company, he frequently ate at a nearby KFC
restaurant. To save money on food,he decided to get a job with KFC.For two months,he worked as a cook's
assistant. His job was to clean the kitchen and help the cook."I didn't like it,"Mr. Kazi says,"but I always
did the best I could."
One day,Mr. Kazi's two co-workers failed to come to work.That day,Mr. Kazi did the work of all three
people in the kitchen.This really impressed the owners of the restaurant.
A few months later,the owners needed a manager for a new restaurant. They gave the job to Mr. Kazi.
He worked hard as the manager and soon the restaurant was making a profit.
A few years later,Mr. Kazi heard about a restaurant that was losing money.The restaurant was dirty in-
side and the food was terrible.Mr. Kazi borrowed money from a bank and bought the restaurant.For the first
six months,Mr. Kazi worked in the restaurant from 8 a. m.to 10 p.m,seven days a week.He and his wife
cleaned up the restaurant,remodeled the front of the building,and improved the cooking. They also tried
hard to please the customers.If someone had to wait more than ten minutes for their food,Mrs.Kazi gave
them a free soda. Before long the restaurant was making a profit.
A year later,Mr. Kazi sold his restaurant for a profit.With the money he earned,he bought three more
restaurants that were losing money.Again he cleaned them up,improved the food and retrained the employees.
Before long these restaurants were making a profit,too.
Today Mr. Kazi owns 168 restaurants,but he isn't planning to stop there.He's looking for more poorly
managed restaurants to buy."I love it when I go to buy a restaurant and find it's a mess."Mr. Kazi says.
"The oniy way it can go is up."

Too Late to Regret It

When I was a junior,I met a second-year student in my department. He wasn't tall or good-looking,but he was very nice,attractive and athletic.He had something that I admired very much. He was natural,warm,and sincere.
I disregarded（不顾）my parents' disapproval. We were very happy together. He picked me up from my dorm every morning,and after class we would sit alongside the stream that ran through campus, or sunbathe（晒太阳）on the lawn. At night he would walk me back to my dorm. He came from a poor family,but in order to make me happy,he borrowed money from his friend to buy presents and meals for me.Our fellow students looked up to him as a role model,and the girls envied （妒忌）me. He wasn't a local, but wanted to stay here after graduation. I thought we had a future together.
However,I got a part-time job that paid pretty well during the summer vacation.
With my good performance at school,I also got admission to graduate school at one of China's best universities.He,on the other hand,did not do so well at school or at work.I had to worry about his living expenses,job and scores.
Almost all my colleagues and friends advised me to break up with him. Then we had a quarrel last June.He was in great pain,and my cold words and bad moods started turning him away.
Graduation time was drawing near,and he said he wanted to go back to his hometown.He said that he couldn't put up with me anymore.I was shocked and looked at him in despair.
True love happens only once,but I found it out too late.

What did he do to make her happy?
A:He studied much harder.
B:He often took her for a ride.
C:He always endured her insults.
D:He often bought her presents and meals.
