When Danny's mother came for Mrs. Green, the matter was now ______to Mrs. Green. A. s

B

When her five daughters were young， Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity （团结）. To show this， she held up one chopstick， representing one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next， she tied several chopsticks together， representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.

Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However， when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975， they didn‘t have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny‘s mother， Diana， who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards， Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However， Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too harEventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves， but one by one， the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other， they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains， "Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity， and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family， there is no business."

Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996， with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans‘ corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant， they had big dreams， and they worked together. Now they are a big success.

Passage Five

Danny was just tired about the way things were going. His mom came to the school and went on and on talking about Rick Jackson. It seemed that she would never stop talking. "Somebody's got to stop that boy!" she was shouting, "Rick's troubling everybody in the neighborhood. And he loves to pick on little boys like Danny."

Mrs. Green, Danny's teacher, was concerned a lot. "I didn't know that Danny was being picked on," she nswered. "He's never said anything about this to me!" Mrs. Green looked at Danny. "How long has this been going on？" She asked. Danny could only shake his head and look at the floor. He knew if he said a word about this, he would have trouble after school.

Danny hadn't said anything about the problem because he wanted to play with the boys in the neighborhood. After all, most of them were nice to him. He hated to leave the gang just because of Rick. Maybe the time had come to find new friends. He felt it hard to make up his mind.
