My years at Yale University provide me with some of the most sincere happiness I have ever experienced. The nostalgia, though, results from the thought of leaving this family and moving on to a different period of life.
The relationships during my four years here are one of the most unforgettable aspects of my life. Yale has allowed me to create friendships with many that will undoubtedly be brilliant in our future society. Also, I am certain that Yale has offered me the opportunity to learn and share my faith with others. Lastly, the academic education I received here is remarkable. It is such an amazing opportunity to have the dedicated, cooperative and knowledgeable teachers that are present at our school.
It seems like just a few days ago when I took my first steps onto campus, and now we seniors are approaching our final steps. The shyness as freshmen has now transformed into confidence and maturity, I still remember walking down the halls, admiring the seniors for their calmness and strength. Looking back, I am sure that my experiences within this family were fantastic. I know that my memories of this school, whether they are the sporting events or the dances, will always be present in nay life.
Thus, it is sad to be aware of the end of a happy four years. Leaving Yale will be difficult after all of the great memories I have gained from attending school here. Anyway, it is exciting to realize that as seniors, we are approaching an entirely new life, an entirely new opportunity. As for you underclassmen (大學(xué)低年級(jí)學(xué)生), cherish the moments that you spend on this campus, because they can become some of the most memorable times of your lives.

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. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. 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. 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(大蕭條)hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again.
Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point occurred（出現(xiàn)）on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel(汽車旅館)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. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. 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 1759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $1 billion a year.
You may not have started out life in the best situations. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.
61. What Kemmons’ mom often told him during his childhood was_______.
A. caring B. moving C. encouraging D. interesting
62. According to the author, who played the most important role in making him walk back to school again?
A. Doctors. B. Nurses.
C. Friends. D. Mom.
63. What caused Kemmons to start a motel by himself?
A. His mom’s support.
B. His previous business success of various levels.
C. His terrible experience in the hotel.
D. His wife’s suggestion.
64. Which of the following best describes Kemmons’ mother?
A. Modest, helpful and hard-working.
B. Careful, helpful and beautiful.
C. Loving, supportive and strong-willed.
D. Strict, sensitive and supportive.
65. Which of the following led to Kemmons’ success according to the passage?
A. Self-confidence, hard work, higher-education and a poor family.
B. Mom’s encouragement, a poor family, higher education and opportunities.

I’ve been in the taxi business for thirty-five year, 38 there is a lot about it that is not so good. Taxi drivers have to be rough and tumble (亂作一團(tuán)) fellows to be able to take it in New York. You’ve got to be 39 to fight the New York traffic eight hours a day . Because taxi drivers are tough, people get the 40 impression that they are bad .Taxi drivers are just like other people. Most of them will act as 41 fellows. You read in the papers almost every week 42 a taxi driver turns in money or jewels or like that people leave in their 43 . If they weren’t hones, you wouldn’t be reading those stories in the papers. One time .I found an emerald (翡翠的) ring in my car. I remembered helping a lady with a lot of suitcases that day , so I went back to where I had 44 . It took me almost two days to wait for her in order to return her 45 to her.

People ask me about tips. As far as I know, 52 everyone will give you something , because most Americans are 53 generous . I always try to be nice to everyone, whether they 54 or not.

Night after night, my mother came to my bed, even long after my childhood years. She would 21 down and push my long hair out of the way, and then kiss my forehead. I don’t remember when it first started 22 me-her hands pushing my hair that way, for they felt work-worn and rough 23 my young skin. Finally , one night, I shouted out at her, “Don’t do that any more-your hands are too rough!” she made no 24 and left quietly. But never again did my mother do it with that familiar expression of her 25 .
With the passing years, my 26 returned to that night time after time. By then I 27 my mother’s hands and her goodnight kiss. Sometimes the incident seemed very 28 , sometimes far away, but always it was 29 in the back of my mind.
The years have passed, and I’m not a little girl any more. Mom is in her seventies, and those hands I once 30 to be so rough are still doing things for me and my family.
Now, Mom no longer has Dad and lives 31 . One night on Thanksgiving Eve, I found myself 32 to her house to spend the night with her. As I slept in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand hesitantly ran across my face to 33 the hair from my forehead. Then a 34 , ever so gently , touched my forehead. I burst into tears.
In my memory, thousands of times, I 35 the night my young voice complained. Catching Mom’s hand in hand, I told her how 36 I was for that night. I thought she’d remember 37 I did. But Mom didn’t know what I was talking about. She had already forgotten and 38 long ago.
That night, I fell asleep with a new 39 for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was 40 to be found.
