Anne Sanders was practicing soccer moves, which was not normal. Usually, Anne only plays basketball. She wins every basketball game she plays, and she loses at any other game.　 "Anne", I waved to her. "Why are you playing soccer?"

"Well, the gym teacher is doing something different," she said. "There are teams of four and partners of two.We get to pick our partners, and I want someone to pick me. "Anne held up a list.

"It looks like I'm on a team with you, Stacey, and Paul," I said.　 "Stacey is my best friend.Maybe we can be together: " Just then,　 Stacey and Paul came over.　 They had heard of the teams.

"Do you want to be partners, Stacey?" I asked.

"Well, I was going to be partners with Paul," she claimed. I didn't blame her. Paul was as fast as a rocket, and my nickname was "Snail".　 "But we are best friends," said Stacey.　 “So I guess I'II be with you. "

It was our first game. Stacey went to talk to some other friends afterwards, and Paul and Anne were talking about winning their game. I was sipping on my water, when I overheard Stacey, "She's worse than I thought; if I played the team alone,, I would have won easily. She's worse than a snail.　 She's more like a statue. "

That night, I felt terrible for losing and mad at Stacey for calling me a statue. After all, she was my best friend and my only friend. Anyway, the phone rang, and it was Stacey. At first, I thought she might apologize, but no such luck.

“Allison,　 the game tomorrow is canceled, "　 she said.

"Okay," I replied.　 "Sorry about the game today", Stacey hung up on me.

The next day, I went over to the soccer field. I knew the game was canceled, but maybe I could help clean up.But instead of a mess, I saw a soccer game in progress.　 Stacey and were playing, and Anne was hiding in the corner.　 "Paul made me pretend to be sick, "　 she whispered.　 “He wants to play with Stacey because she's so fast.

Once there was a poor old man called Colonel Harland Sanders. He lived in a small house and had an old car. He was living off the social security(社会保障金). In his sixties, he thought things had to change(改变), so he thought about what he had to do. His friends liked his chicken recipe(食谱) very much. He thought that it might help him to make a change.

He left Kentucky and traveled to different states. He told restaurant owners that he had a mouth-watering chicken recipe and asked them if they would like to buy it. He would like to give the recipe to them for free, just asking for a small percentage(提成) in return. Sounds like a good idea, right?

Unluckily, those restaurant owners didn’t think so. As a result, the old man heard “NO” over 1,000 times. Even after all of those rejections(拒绝), he didn’t give up. He believed his chicken recipe was something special. He heard “NO” 1,009 times before he heard his first yes.

With that one success, Colonel Harland Sanders changed the way that Americans ate chicken. Kentucky Fried Chicken, also known as KFC, was born. Now it is the world’s second largest restaurant chain(连锁).

Never give up and always believe in yourself. After all, nothing is impossible if you put your heart into it.

1.What does the underlined word “it” refer(指) to?

A.The small house. B.The old car.

C.The social security. D.The chicken recipe.

2.Why did Colonel Harland Sanders travel to different states?

A.To sell his chicken. B.To open a restaurant.

C.To sell his chicken recipe. D.To enjoy delicious chicken.

3.What happened after Colonel Harland Sanders failed(失败) 1,000 times?

A.He heard his first yes. B.He gave up his idea of making a change.

C.He kept on trying in other restaurants. D.He changed the way that Americans ate chicken.

4.What does the passage mainly tell us?
