【推荐3】Harland Sanders was born in the USA in 1890, but his childhood was not a happy one. His father died when he was only six, so his mother needed to find a job. She went to Shirt factory and Harland stayed at home to look after his younger brother. That was when he first learned to cook.

Harland moved to a 142—seat restaurant across the street where he could serve all his customers. Over the next nine years, he developed the secret chicken recipe（配方）that made him famous.
In the early 1950s, he closed the restaurant and decided to sell his recipe to other businesses. The first official（正式的）Kentucky fried chicken（KFC）restaurant did not open until 1952. By 1964, there were more than 600 KFCs in North America. That year Sanders sold the company（公司）for 2 million dollars, but he continued to work as KFC’s public spokesman and visited restaurants all over the world. He travelled 250, 000miles every year until died in 1980 aged 90. Six years later, PepsiCo bought KFC for 480million dollars.
