| My most memorable experience will stay in my mind forever. For most people, horses are just animals that should only be used for racing. Ever since 1 was a child, my dream was to ride a horse. When that time finally carne, my heart beat a thousand times a minute. It Was a warm summer day, and we were at a park. My mom was buying several things for home while I wandered around to find something interesting. Suddenly I found a horse standing down the block. I ran up to it, not even knowing how to pet it, just excited to see the most beautiful animal. He was shining white, with a well-brushed tail. Where was the owner? Right away I made up my mind to ride this horse. I found my morn and dragged her to where the horse was. The owner was back and stated that I couldn"t ride it. Tears flooded down my cheeks as my mom tried to convince the man to let me ride the horse. He finally agreed for a costly price. Being on the horse awakened all the senses in me. I was the happiest little girl, having the time of my life. I began planning to buy a horse after I became a millionaire. Before I knew it, the ride was over. Surprisingly, I actually learned to control the horse. That day was probably the happiest time of my life. Most children wouldn"t have as much fun as I did.

| He was her best friend"s boyfriend. It sounds like a lifetime TV movie. Back in high school in Chicago, Sue Napolitano and Larry McNevin were just friends. They wore jackets and were always sitting on the bridge smoking. But neither gave the other a romantic thought. In fact, asked to describe each other back in those days, Sue and Larry both came up with the adjective:"nice".

| Odland remembers like it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in Denver. The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman. Thirty years have passed, but Odland can"t get the memory out of his mind, nor the woman"s kind reaction (反应). She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odland, "It"s OK. It wasn"t your fault." When she left the restaurant, she also left the future Fortune 500CEO (总裁) 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. Rather, 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 p[lace and fir you," or "I know the owner and I could have you fired." Those who say such things have shown more about their character(人品) than about their wealth and power. The CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson. He wrote a best-selling book called Swanson"s Unwritten Rules of Management. "A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person," Swanson says, "I will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but rude to someone cleaning the tables." | ||||||||||||||

| I was cleaning out an old box when an old card caught my eyes: Queen City Casket Company. "What is it?" I wondered. I 1 it over. There, in faded ink, was a hand-scrawled (手写的) 2 . Immediately my mind traveled 3 many years. I was nine years old, walking down the cold, wet streets of Springfield, with a bag of 4 on my shoulder. On my rounds that day, I came to that company finally, whose owner, Mr. Rader, had always taken me there to ask his workers 5 they wanted any magazines. Shaking off the 6 like a wet dog, I entered Mr. Rader"s office. After a quick glance he 7 me over to the fireplace. Noticing the 8 in the top of my shoe,he said."Come with me!" Pulling me into his pick-up 9 , he pulled to a stop before a 10 store. Inside, a salesman fitted me with the finest pair of Oxfords I had 11 seen. I 12 about 100 feet tall when I stood up 13 them."We"d like a pair of new 14 too." Mr Rader said. Back in his office, Mr Rader took out a 15 , wrote something on it, and handed it to me. With 16 eyes, I read, "Do to others as you would have them do to you." He said affectionately (深情地), "Jimmy, I want you to 17 I love you." I said goodbye, and for the first time I sensed a hope that somehow things would be 18 . With people like Mr. Rader in the world, there was hope, 19 and love,and that would always make a 20 . | ||||||||||||||
