appeared in more than 800 commercials (商业广告) for the hamburger chain named for his daughter.
"As long as it works," he said in 1991, "I"ll continue to do those commercials."
Even though he was successful, Thomas remained troubled by his childhood. "He still won"t let anyone
see his feet, which are out of shape because he never had proper-fitting shoes," Wendy said in 1993.
Born to a single mother, he was adopted as a baby by Rex and Auleva Thomas of Kalamazoo in
Michigan. After Auleva died when he was 5, Thomas spent years on the road as Rex traveled around
seeking construction work. "He fed me," Thomas said, "and if I got out of line, he"d beat me."
Moving out on his own at 15, Thomas worked, first as a waiter, in many restaurants. But he had
something much better in mind. "I thought if I owned a restaurant," he said, "I could eat for free." A
956 meeting with Harland Sanders led Thomas to a career as the manager of a Kentucky Fried Chicken
restaurant that made him a millionaire in 1968.
In 1969, after breaking with Sanders, Thomas started the first Wendy"s Old Fashioned Hamburgers,
in Columbus, Ohio, which set itself apart by serving made-to-order burgers. With 6,000 restaurants
worldwide, the chain now makes $ 6 billion a year in sales.
Although troubled by his own experience with adoption, Thomas, married since 1954 to Lorraine,
66, and with four grown kids besides Wendy, felt it could offer a future for other children. He started the
Dave Thomas Foundation (基金会) for Adoption in 1992.
In 1993, Thomas, who had left school at 15, graduated from Coconut Creek High School in Florida.
He even took Lorraine to the graduation dance party. The kids voted him Most Likely to Succeed.

1961 in Pukerua Bay, New Zealand. He liked to take photographs, so a family friend bought the young
Jackson a super 8mm camera (照相机). He has been a filmmaker even since. At age nine he even
attempted to remake his favorite film, King Kong, using his own stop-motion effect.
Unlike many of the filmmakers working today, Jackson never went to film school. Instead he created
his own short films with the help of family and friends. He was turned down for a job at the National Film Unit, New Zealand"s government agency that produces tourist films about the country. With that door
closed, Jackson began working other jobs to support himself, while shooting shorts on the weekend.
One of these weekend films, changed from its original (原来的) ten minutes length into a feature film.
The project took four years to complete (1983-1987) and was called Bad Taste.
After the success of Bad Taste, Jackson became recognized as a director and the door to fame and
fortune was opened. He gave up his job at a local photographer"s shop and became a well-known
director of horror-movies. The Lord of the Rings (指环王) trilogy (三步曲) is obviously a huge
landmark in Jackson"s career, not only did the films become some of the most commercially successful
of all time, but they have also lifted Jackson to the top of the Hollywood pecking order. His digital effects
company, WETA Digital, became one of, if not the most respected effects company in the world;

his amazing abilities.
He has only been having piano lessons for four months, and practices four hours a week, but he has
already played difficult classical pieces. He was just seven when he sat down at the piano, and could play
at once. He also says he never gets nervous.
When Shane was three years old, he said that he could play the piano, but nobody took him seriously. At school, he could listen to the teacher and do his work while composing (作曲) in his head. Shame
remembers all the melodies (旋律), and when he gets home he plays them on the piano, while his father
records them. Shane loves playing the piano, and when he grows up he wants to be a composer.
His tutor, Richard Goffin-Lecar, says he is like Amadeus Mozart, who lived during the 18th century
in Salzburg, Austria, and was one of the most famous composers ever. Mr. Goffin-lecar says, "I don"t
teach Shane very much. I just give him directions, then sit back and watch."
His father, a single parent with two other children, says that although he has little money, he wants to

anniversary of the poet"s birth, the meme, "Du Fu is busy," is spreading through the Internet and turning
the iconic poet into a figure of fun.
A meme is a cultural phenomenon. It"s an idea or image that somehow strikes a chord with Internet
users and prompts them to comment on it, change it, or use it in different situations. In Du"s case, the
meme is a picture of the poet taken from a textbook. The picture shows a very serious Du sitting on a
rock, clothed in loose robes. His chin is pointed resolutely upward and his eyes gaze calmly into the
distance. It is a picture of a man with a great mind and a heroic spirit.
That image is changed in the meme. Du Fu is now seen holding a gun or listening to an iPod or
dressed as a Japanese cartoon character. In today"s world, it seems fewer people respect great minds
or heroic spirits.
This is sad because it means we are losing our sense of idealism. Du Fu led a life of poverty and
humiliation. I visited his thatched cottage in Chengdu and imagined the hardship he endured: the loneliness, the cold, and the hunger. Yet, hardship didn"t kill his spirit, and his great poetry reflects his inner strength.
Internet users may find that giving Du Fu the business is entertaining, but it cannot diminish his
greatness. And that enduring image of greatness is the one that truly matters.
B. getting busier and busier
C. becoming a successful businessman
D. being made to look foolish
B. Critical.
C. Doubtful.
D. Neutral.
B. Du Fu is no longer a famous poet.
C. Du Fu is getting the business.
D. Du Fu has become a new hero.
