　　Zubair -Kazi was born in Bhatkal, a small town in southwest India．His dream was to be an airplane pilot, and when he was 16 years old, he learned to fly a small plane．

　　At the age of 23 and with just a little money in his pocket, Mr．Kazi moved to the United States．He hoped to get a job in the airplane industry in California．Instead, he ended up working for a company that rented cars．

　　While Mr．Kazi was working at the car rental(租赁的)company, he frequently ate at a nearby KFC restaurant．To save money on food, he decided to get a job with KFC．For two months, he worked as a cook's assistant．His job was to clean the kitchen and help the cook．"I didn't like it," Mr．Kazi says, "but I always did the best I could．"

　　One day, Mr．Kazi's two co-workers failed to come to work．That day, Mr．Kazi did the work of all three people in the kitchen．This really impressed the owners of the restaurant．

　　A few months later, the owners needed a manager for a new restaurant．They gave the job to Mr．Kazi．He worked hard as the manager and soon the restaurant was making a profit．

　　A few years later, Mr．Kazi heard about a restaurant that was losing money．The restaurant was dirty inside and the food was terrible．Mr．Kazi borrowed money from a bank and bought the restaurant．For the first six months, Mr．Kazi worked in the restaurant from 8 a. m. to 10 p. m., seven days a week．He and his wife cleaned up the restaurant, remodeled the front of the building, and improved the cooking．They also tried hard to please the customers．lf someone had to wait more than ten minutes for their food, Mrs．Kazi gave them a free soda．Before long the restaurant was making a profit．

　　A year later, Mr．Kazi sold his restaurant for a profit．With the money he earned, he bought three more restaurants that were losing money．Again, he cleaned them up, improved the food, and retrained the employees．Before long these restaurants were making a profit, too．

　　Today Mr．Kazi owns 168 restaurants, but he isn't planning to stop there．He's looking for more poorly managed restaurants to buy．"I love it when I go to buy a restaurant and find it's a mess," Mr．Kazi says．"The only way it can go is up．"

Compassion(同情)is a desire within us to help others．With efforts，we can translate compassion into actions．An experience last weekend showed me this is true．

I work part—time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly These old people are our main customers，and it’s easy to lose patience over their slowness．But last Sunday，one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson．This untidy marl walked up to my register(收款机)with a box of biscuits．He said he was out of cash，had just moved into his room，and had nothing in his cupboards．He asked if we could let him have the food on trust．He promised to repay me the next day．

I couldn’t help staring at him．I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before，and what he would be like if luck had gone his way．I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul，all alone in the world．I told him that I was sorry，and the store rules didn’t allow me to do so．I felt stupid and unkind saying this，but I valued my job .Just then，another man，standing behind the first，spoke up．if anything，he looked more pitiable，“Charge it to me，”was all he said．

What I had been feeling was pity．Pity is soft，safe and easy．Compassion，on the other hand，is caring in action．I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed，either．Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion．

64．The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits ．

A．promised to obey the store rules

B．forgot to take any money with him

C．hoped to have the food first and pay later

D．couldn’t afford anything more expensive

65．How did the aged gentleman possibly feel when he was refused by the writer?

A．Warm and lucky． B．shameful and lonely

C．Thankful and excited D．Hurt and disappointed．

66．The writer followed the store rules because ．

A．he wanted to keep his present job

B．he felt no pity for the old gentleman

C．he considered the old gentleman dishonest

D．he expected someone else to pay for the old gentleman

67．What does the writer 1earn from his experience?

A．Wealth is most important．

B．Helping others is easier said than done．

C．Experience is better gained through practice．

D．Compassion shows in actions
