How to be a Successful Businessperson

Have you ever wondered why some people are successful in business and others are not? Here’s a story
about one successful businessperson.He started out washing dishes and today he owns 168 restaurants.
Zubair Kazi was born in Bhatkal,a small town in southwest India. His dream was to he 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. Ka2i 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 res-
taurant.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 own-
ers 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 in-
side 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.If 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 em-
ployces.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 fur 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."
选项 In the last paragraph, "it’s a mess" means________.
A:it’s small
B:it’s profitable
C:it’s dirty
D:it's cheap
答案C
解析由第二段可知，Mr.Kazi童年的梦想是成为一名飞行员。
由第四段第二句话可知，Mr.Kazi是为了省饭钱才在KFC工作的。
由第五段可知，Mr.Kazi由于一个人干了二人的活使老板对他努力工作的精神印象深 刻，在他们准备再开一个店时，给了他一个机会。
由第六、七段可知，Mr.Kazi每收购一个赔钱的饭店都要打扫、改善食物、重新墙训雇 员，唯独没有做广告。
mess的意思是“混乱的，脏乱的”，所以it's dirty的意思最符合题干的意思。 第二篇 文章主要介绍了EoL这一工程的相关信息。
