Coming from a broken home on the mean streets, Quentin had been on the wrong side of the law influenced by secret society and drugs. He has risen and fallen many times, which is why his turnround is all the more inspiring.
Having gotten out of the secret society and later honourably retired from the Marines (海军陆战队), Quentin struggled with various business adventures including running barber shops and dry cleaners. Wanting to offer a healthier option, he started his first restaurant in 2001 in his hometown. Again, success was lasting only a short time for over a decade. Determined to make a change and focus on giving rather than succeeding, Quentin changed things up again. It was then that his life really began to turn around.
From 2013, his restaurant, The Turkey Chop Grill, would close for the paying public every Monday and only offer free food to those in need. He served great meals to over 1,000 poor people every day from his own pockets, giving over 60,000 meals in two years.
Money, however, remained an issue with such kindness and so, Quentin took a chance and appeared on Guy Fieri's show "Grocery Games" in 2015. The show had retired soldiers from four military branches in a cooking competition. Quentin won. Quentin has invested his winnings back in feeding the poor. From 1,000 a day, he successfully fed 2,000 for Thanksgiving that year. His concept of focusing on giving rather than winning had finally paid off.
"West Humboldt Park has a large number of homeless, and the drug problem is terrible. I wanted to show the community that people care and give those down on their luck an opportunity to own what's good for them, starting with what they put in their bodies. And, maybe that might inspire them to do better in other aspects of their lives."
1.What caused Quentin's life to start to change
A.The retirement from the army.
B.The pullback from the secret society.
C.The success of his first restaurant in 2001.
D.The decision of giving back to his community.
2.How did Quentin overcome financial problems in 2015
A.By winning a competition.
B.By taking part in a soldiers' club.
C.By organising a cooking competition.
D.By accepting donations from retired soldiers.
3.Which of the following words can best describe Quentin
A.Kind and ambitious. B.Cooperative and generous.
C.Curious and professional. D.Courageous and humorous.
4.What can the reader learn from his story
A.Money talks. B.East or west, home is best.
C.A begun work is half ended. D.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

答案:Dear Li Lei,
How has everything been going recently I'm writing to invite you to take part in the English Oral Competition. What is known to all is that we learn English not just for tests but mainly for communication. That is why the English Oral Competition counts.
The competition will be held in our school hall on the afternoon of December the 15th. Participants are expected to give an English speech on a given topic and then answer some questions related to your speech. The top three will be awarded prizes. Since I know you are willing to show yourself, I am expecting you to come to participate in the competition. For further information, you can visit our school website or contact me.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
