He walked up to the teacher and told her, very seriously, that he was new. His name was Christian. He sat down, took a look at me, and then looked away. I didn39。t think he was very nice and I was sure he wasn39。t the type I would like to bee friends with. During that year, I didn39。t talk to him much, but he smiled at me when our eyes met, always shyly. He never ate lunch with anybody, and he never talked to anybody but me. But one day I joined those unkind kids who were making fun of him. We made fun of him though I thought it was wrong. Haven39。t you got any friends? a kid asked Christian, who had walked past us alone, head down. No, he hasn39。t got any friends. He39。s too stupid and shy, I said. Then Christian looked up at me with the saddest dog eyes I had ever seen. I felt very sorry at that moment. That night, I couldn39。t sleep because I couldn39。t get Christian39。s face out of my mind. In the weeks that followed, he never met my eyes in class and never smiled at me. It was really hard for me to decide to write him a note asking him to forgive （原諒） me. But I thought I should. The next day in class, I wrote him a note telling him how sorry I felt. About five minutes later, I turned and saw tears in his eyes. You will never realize what your apology （道歉） has meant to me, Jimmy, he said to me. I hope we can bee friends. We had lunch together that noon and we had the best talk I had ever had. Over the years at high school, we were close friends. When I think back, I realize that, if I had not apologized, I would never have known what a lovely person Christian was!

My mother was one of those people. My father died when I was one yearold. While I was growing up, we led a very hard life, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Bach night, she seated me on her lap and, spoke the words that would change my life, Kemmons, you are sure 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 that I would never walk again. Every might my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me whatever those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I walked on my own to school! When the Great Depression broke out, my mother lost her job. Then I left school to support the two of us. At that moment I decided never to be poor again. Over the years, I experienced a lot of business success. But the real turning point happened on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the secondclass hotels available for families and was very angry, that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for an ordinary 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 money for children. Many people did not believe me at that time. Not surprisingly, mom was my strongest supporter. As in any business, I experienced a lot of difficulties. But with my mom39。s words in my heart, I never doubted I would succeed. Fifteen years later, I had the largest hotel system in the world Holiday Inn. In 1979 my pany had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an ine of $I billion a year.

And many people have the habit of enjoying music when they are free. But to our surprise, one English school allows children to listen to music or even to have the TV on while they are studying, and they find it is helpful to improve the students39。 grades. According to a research at Millfield School in the UK, around 20% of teenagers work better with background music, and 10% excel when allowed to finish their work with short walks around the room while up to 80% can concentrate （集中注意） better if allowed to play with a
