Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own．My mother was one of those people． My father died when I was one-year-old．While I was growing up, we led a very hard life, but my mom gave me a lot of love．Each 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 four, I was hit by a car and the doctors said that I would never walk again．Every night 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 second-class 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 （汽车旅馆） 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 mom's words in my heart, I never doubted I would succeed．Fif years later, I had the largest hotel system in the world—Holiday Inn．In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $l billion a year． You may not have started out life in the best situations．But if you find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you． 小题1:What Kemmon's mother often told him during his childhood was____． A．caring B．moving C．encouraging D．interesting 小题2:Who played the most important role in the author walk back to school again?
