Kentucky man cooks up a recipe for success

Once, there was an old man living in Kentucky, US. He was poor. He lived in a small house. His car always broke down. At the age of 65, the old man decided to make some changes. So he thought about what he could do. His friends really liked his fried chicken. He thought this was his best chance to make a change. He left Kentucky and traveled to different places to try to sell his recipe(食譜). He told restaurant owners he had an amazing fried chicken recipe.

Unluckily, most of the restaurants were not interested. The old man heard "no" more than 1,000 times. But he didn't give up. He believed his recipe was something special.

本文主要向我們介紹肯德基的由來以及創(chuàng)始人的奮斗史，告訴我們不要放棄，要永遠相信自己。

【1】根據“Once, there was an old man living in Kentucky, US.”可知，桑德斯上校來自肯塔基州，故填T。

【2】根據“He left Kentucky and traveled to different places to try to sell his recipe.”可知，他離開肯塔基州前往各地是為了推銷他的食譜，故填try to sell his recipe。

【3】根據“Finally, after he heard ‘no’ for the 1,009th time, he finally heard his first ‘yes.’”可知，在第1009次聽到“不”之后，他終于聽到了第一個“是”，故填the 1,009th time。

【4】句意：在他65歲的時候，老人決定做一些改變。

At the age of翻譯為“……歲”，decide to do sth翻譯為“決定做某事”，make some changes翻譯為“做一些改變”，故填“在他65歲的時候，老人決定做一些改變。”

【5】主旨大意題。分析全文可知，文章通過桑德斯上校的故事告訴我們永不放棄，永遠相信自己，故選D。
