Question

Walter owns three Italian  restaurants which are running very well in Rhode Island in America. Every day his restaurants welcome crowds of customers（顧客） all over the world.
He studied to be a cook, but he sees now that his success is the result of a lifetime education. When he opened his first restaurant, all of a sudden his schooling knowledge , the history of his family and his ethics(道德準(zhǔn)則) of his father came into play  . It made him a person who studied and explored （探索）the secrets in the food business.
Walter’s learning never stops. He says “ The food business is one where you need to stay on top. Cooks should be trained. You have to keep on studying or you will be left behind.” So he spent more time in reading. Every time he gets new ideas from the book, he brings them into his work.
Walter also has a clear understanding about success. That is he would like to be remembered as a person who is creative, who believes in the Italian cooking culture in America. Food is like a bridge connecting to the past, to the family and to the country. He says “Success to me is not how much money I make, but if at the end of the day I am able to make fifteen or twenty customers happy, I’m a happy man.”

1.Walter能夠開第一家餐廳，主要是由于由于他好的人生教育，學(xué)校對他的知識教育，父親給予他的幫助，故劃線部分的短語為給予某人的幫助較符合文意，故本題選C。
2.從第三段第一句可知Walter所取得的成功，是由于他學(xué)習(xí)研究從來就沒有放棄，故本空選B。
3.本文最后兩句的意思為成功對他來說不是掙多少前，而是一天下來能夠使15到20個(gè)顧客開心，他就開心了，他的意思是使顧客滿意對他來說是重要的，故本題選C。
4.從本文第二段第一行可知成功是人生教育的結(jié)果，故我們從短文中可以得到人生教育是重要的這樣的理念，故本題選A。
5.Walter能夠成功跟他的不斷努力是分不開的，所以說一個(gè)人的成功不是生來就有的，而是通過實(shí)際行動(dòng)去努力的結(jié)果，故本題選D。
