Given the highest honor by the university．He Jiang，who was born in a small village in Hunan province，said，"People in China often believe that it's useless to study and children from the countryside cannot be successful in the future．However，I cannot agree with them．Education can change a person's life．I hope my experience can encourage the students from the countryside to spare no effort in study and make their dream come true．"

Different from many other families in the village，his parents never thought about finding a job in big cities and leaving their two sons at home without their care．His farther was strict about their studies．He and his younger brother studies at home while the other kids in the village played in the fields．Unlike his strict farther，his mother took her sons'side when her husband scolded the boys．She preferred to sit with her sons when they studied rather than chat with other women in the village．

Getting the chance to speak at commencement is no accident．During his first days in Harvard，it was quite difficult for him to follow the professor in class and he was speechless in campus because of his poor English．Instead of giving up．He Jiang spent all his free time on English．He also make friends with natives to improve his speaking English．One year later，he had little difficulty in class and soon became one of the top students in his class．With the encouragement from Professor Diana Eck，He Jiang decided to apply（申請） for the chance to speak at the commencement．"Few Chinese students had applied before，but I wanted to have a try．I just want to realize my idea of letting more people hear the voice from China and telling them that China is not what it used to be．"said He Jiang．After beating three students from Harvard Kennedy School in the third and final round，He Jiang made it to get the chance to speak at the commencement．

Although people everywhere seem to enjoy drinking coffee，they don't all have the same coffee culture. In Europe for example, coffee shops are common places for people to meet friends while they drink coffee. On the other hand, places like this were not as common in North America in the past. Instead, people in North America liked to drink coffee in their homes with friends. The coffee culture in the USA changed, when Starbucks (星巴克) coffee shops spread throughout the country．

The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in downtown Seattle, Washington，in the USA. It was a small coffee shop that cooked its own coffee beans. The coffee shop's business did well, and by 1981 there were three Starbucks stores in Seattle.

Things really began to change for the company in 1981. That year, Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks. Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment (設(shè)備) . He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers, which caused his great interest. Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did. In 1982, the original Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company's head of marketing (市場營銷).

In 1983, Schultz traveled to Italy. The special environment of the espresso (濃咖啡) bars there caught his eyes. Back in the USA, Schultz created an environment for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable and casual, and customers everywhere seemed to like it. Starbucks began opening more stores in the USA. Then the company opened coffee shops in other countries as well. Today, there are more than 16,000 Starbucks coffee shops all over the world.

However，that does not mean Starbucks has not had problems. In fact, many Starbucks stores have closed over the past few years. On the one hand, this is because there were too many coffee shops competing (競爭) for business in one small area. On the other hand, stores in some countries closed because the coffee culture there did not match with the comfortable environment offered by Starbucks.

1.The underlined word "ran" in Paragraph 3 probably means .

A. closed B. managed C. made D. sold

2.According to the passage, which is the right order for the following sentences？

a.This man helped to make Starbucks a huge coffee company.

b.Starbucks began as a small coffee company in Seattle in the USA.

c.He went to Seattle to learn about the company and later worked for it.

d.Howard Schultz found Starbucks ordered lots of special coffee makers.

A. a﹣b﹣d﹣c B. c﹣a﹣b﹣d C. b﹣d﹣c﹣a D. d﹣c﹣a﹣b

3.Why did so many Starbucks close in small areas？

A. Because the coffee in these places was too expensive

B. Because the style of the coffee stores seems the same．

C. Because people like to drink coffee at home with friends

D. Because there were too many coffee shops in one place．

4.To tell us the story of Starbucks, the writer did the following except .

A. introducing how Starbucks became successful

B. showing what Schultz did to help Starbucks become successful

C. telling what difficulties Starbucks faces

D. telling what Starbucks did to deal with his problems

5.What's the best title for the passage？

A. The History of Starbucks B. The Culture of Starbucks

C. The Popularity of Starbucks D. The environment of Starbucks
