The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman. Thirty years have passed, but Odland can not get the memory out of his mind, nor the woman’ s kind reaction. She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odland. “It is OK. It wasn’t your fault.” When she left the restaurant, she also left the future Fortune 500 CEO with a life lesson: You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter. Odland isn’t the only CEO to have made this discovery. Instead, it seems to be one of those few laws of the land that every CEO learns on the way up. It’s hard to get a dozen CEOs to agree about anything , but most agree with the Waiter Rule. They say how others treat the CEO says nothing. But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the soul. Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like, “I could buy this place and fire you,” or “I know the owner and I could have you fired.” Those who say such things have shown more about their character than about their wealth and power.

What happened after Odland dropped the ice cream onto the woman’s dress? A. The woman forted him. B. He was blamed. C. He was fired. D. The woman left the restaurant at once. 26. Odland learned one of his life lessons from ________. A. an article in Fortune B. the advice given by the CEOs C. his experience as a waiter D. an interesting bestselling book 27. According to the text, most CEOs have the same opinion about ________. A. Fortune 500 panies B. the Management Rules C. Swanson’s book D. the Waiter Rule 28. From the text we can learn that ________. A. one should be nicer to important people B. CEOs often show their power before others C. one should respect others no matter who they are D. CEOs often have meals in expensive restaurants C Ever since Grumpy Cat first appeared online, the Inter can’ t get enough of her. But attention is not the only thing that this cat is getting.
