My sister and I grew up in a little village in England. Our father was a struggling lawyer, but I always knew he was special. He never criticized us, but used praise to bring out our best. He’d say, “If you pour water on flowers, they flourish(茂盛). If you don’t give them water, they die.” I remember as a child I said something unkind about somebody, and my father said, “Any time you say something unpleasant about somebody else, it’s a reflection of you.” He explained that if I looked for the best in people, I would get the best in return. From then on I’ve always tried to follow the principle in my life and later in running my company.

Dad’s also always very understanding. At 15, I started a magazine. It was taking up a great deal of my time, and the headmaster of my school gave me a choice: stay in school or leave to work on my magazine.

I decided to leave, and Dad tried to stay me from the decision at first, as any good father would. When he realized I had made up my mind, he said, “Richard, when I was 23, my dad persuaded me to go into law. And I’ve always regretted it. I wanted to be a biologist, but I didn’t pursue my dream. You know what you want. Go fulfill it.”

As it turned out, my little publication went on to become Student, a national magazine in the U.K.. My wife and I have two children, and I’d like to think we are bringing them up in the same way Dad raised me.

1.What can we know about the author’s father?

A. He seldom looked for the best.

B. He was a specialist in law.

C. He usually encouraged kids.

D. He was a father without principles.

2.The author left school at 15 mainly because ________.

A. the school forced him to

B. he had to work for money

C. his father understood him

D. He had a dream to fulfill

3.The underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by ________.

A. persuade me out of                B. accuse me of

C. remind me of                        D. agree with me on

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Be nice to others                B. My Respectable Father

C. My Happy Childhood                D. Go Fulfill Your Dream

I grew up poor-living with six brothers, three sisters and my mother. We had little money, but plenty of love and attention. I was　 　　 　 and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still　 　　 　 a dream.

My dream was　 　　 　 . By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety-mile-per- hour baseball and　 　　 　 anything that moved on the field. I was also　 　　 　 : my high school coach was John, who not only　 　　 　 me, but also taught me how to believe in myself. He　 　　 　 me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction(信念).

When I told John, he was as　 　　 　 as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,”he said,“Your　 　　 　 days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them.”I stood before him with my head　 　　 　 , trying to think of the　 　　 　 that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his　 　　 　 in me.

“Well,”he asked,“is $ 3.5 an hour the price of a dream?”

That simple question made　 　　 　 to me the difference between　 　　 　 something right now and having a goal. I　 　　 　 myself in sports that summer and　 　　 　 the year I was drafted(选拔) by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play baseball, and　 　　 　 a $ 20,000 contract. Later, I bought my mother the house of my dream!

Courtesy(礼貌)wasn’t really optional in my childhood home. I grew up with two sisters just older than me. If I wasn’t ________ to them, they would strike me hard.

Kathy, my youngest sister, was crazy about my ________ habits.

I decided that there would be no more door opening or chair holding or closest-to-the-traffic walking for me.

As I stood there, however, another upperclassman ________ the library door, her arms overloaded with textbooks. Instinctively I reached to open the door for her. “Thanks!” she said ________. “It’s nice to see we still have a few gentlemen around here!”

Three years later I met a beautiful freshman who actually ________ my courtesy to her, and for 35 years we’ve been trying to out-nice each other.
