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 is 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 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 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 oniy way it can go is up."
选项 To save a failing restaurant,Mr. Kazi did all the following things,EXCEPT to______________.
A:clean it up
B:improve the food
C:retrain the employees
D:advertize for it
答案D
解析由第二段第二句“His dream was to be an airplane pilot”可知A项正确。
由第四段第二句“To save money on food ,he decided to get a job with KFC”可知选C。
由第五段可知，因为Kazi有一次一个人干了三个人的话，这给老板留下了深刻的印象， 因此，老板就给了一个机会给Kazi——当一个餐馆的经理。故选C。
由第七段倒数第二句“Again , he cleaned them up , improved the food , and retrained the em-ployees”可知选D。
mess意为“肮脏，杂乱，不整洁”与dirty意思相近，故选B0
