　　International Group(Hong

　　Kong), gestures at a press

　　conference in Beijing in this

　　November, 2006 file photo．

　　A boss or a parent? It’s difficult to tell when Chan Laiwa sits with farmers on her new high-tech farm or migrant workers at building sites, eating, talking and laughing together．

　　Inside her company Fu Wah International Group(Hong Kong)the grandmotherly chairwoman with a smile for everyone is called “Boss Mum” for her kindness and affability．

　　As a leading business figure, she has made the Forbes List of China Rich for the last three years and served on various boards of Chinese philanthropies(慈善事业)．

　　Fu Wah is a private Hong Kong-registered multinational company established in 1988 involved in real estate development, the hotel business, tourism and electronics．The company’s key business is in Beijing, where fixed assets exceed 5 billion yuan(US＄625 million)．

　　The company is not only like a big family but has been praised by the government for its contributions to society．

　　“I should be responsible for everybody around me,” says Chan, 65, who believes the basic responsibility for an entrepreneur(企业家)and is taking care of staff as well as corporate social responsibility．

　　As for her own family, Chan is married, with one son, two daughters and grandchildren．After living in Hong Kong, she moved to Beijing and now lives in her Chinese Red Sandalwood Museum．

　　“Boss Mum” is low key about her contributions, saying, “It is a natural thing to give money to those most in need．”

　　The successful private businesswoman indicates that she does not keep track of how much she spends on philanthropies．

　　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．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 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．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 CEO's 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 but 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．

　　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 turns rude to someone cleaning the tables．”

(1)

What happened after Odland dropped the ice cream onto the woman's dress?
[　　]
A．	He was fired．
B．	He was blamed．
C．	The woman comforted him．
D．	The woman left the restaurant at once．

(2)

Odland learned one of his life lessons from ________．
[　　]
A．	his experience as a waiter
B．	the advice given by the CEOs
C．	an article in Fortune
D．	an interesting best-selling book

(3)

According to the text, most CEOs have the same opinion about ________．
[　　]
A．	Fortune 500 companies
B．	the Management Rules
C．	Swanson's book
D．	the Waiter Rule

(4)

　　Ben

　　When I left school five years ago, I said to myself, “that's that! No more learning for me. Now I can enjoy myself in the evening.” But about a year ago the boss said, “We're going to get a computer in the near future.” What does he mean? I simply don't know. Anyway, I decided to go to evening classes. I'm quite an expert on computers now and, you know, I actually enjoy studying.

　　Evn

　　I haven't much interest in studying. To be honest, I don't like reading very much, except for magazines and that sort of thing. Just light reading, that is, to pass the time. But I do enjoy TV. Not that I watch everything. In fact, I choose my programmes very carefully. I'm particularly interested in current affairs. In some ways I think I learn more this way than I did at school.

　　Ted

　　I'm a very sort of person - I simply love doing things. That's why I enjoy sports so much. I mean, actually playing. I hardly ever watch it on TV, but I do read quite a bit about it. I'm even interested in the history of sports. I don't have much time for anything else, except that I quite like dancing. Some people say I'm not very good at it, though.

　　Joan

　　I should say I have great interest in studying. I'd rather do this than anything e1se. Since I left school, I've taken courses in all sorts of things. I go to the city library once a week, but I much prefer evening classes because it's more fun that way. My latest “craze(狂热)” - if you can call it that - is foreign languages. I'm learning two, not one!

1．These four people are talking about what they do ________.

[　　]

A．in their free time
