1.成功者的故事

Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was telling me about his experiences as a young man.Before he retired,Frank was the head of a very large business company,but as a boy he used to work in a small shop.It was his job to repair bicycles and at that time he used to work fourteen hours a day.He saved money for years and in 1958 he bought a small workshop of his own.In his twenties Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes.At that time he had two helpers.In a few years the small workshop had become a large factory which employed seven hundred and twenty-eight people.Frank smiled when he remembered his hard early years and the long road to success.He was still smiling when the door opened and his wife came in.She wanted him to repair their grandson\\\'s bicycle!

昨天下午弗蘭克·霍金斯向我講述了他年輕時(shí)的經(jīng)歷。在他退休之前,弗蘭克是一家非常大的事務(wù)公司頭,但作為一個(gè)男孩,他曾經(jīng)工作在一個(gè)小商店。他的工作是修理自行車(chē),那時(shí)他一天工作十四小時(shí)。他積蓄多年,并在1958他買(mǎi)了屬于自己的小作坊。在他二十幾歲的弗蘭克曾生產(chǎn)飛機(jī)零配件。那時(shí)他有兩個(gè)幫手。在幾年的小作坊已經(jīng)成為一個(gè)雇用七百二十八人的大工廠(chǎng)。弗蘭克回想著他早年的艱難經(jīng)歷和走過(guò)的漫長(zhǎng)的成功之路。他正笑著的時(shí)候,門(mén)開(kāi)了,他的妻子走了進(jìn)來(lái)。她叫他去修理他們孫子的自行車(chē)!

2.購(gòu)物變得很方便

People are not so honest as they once were.The temptation to steal is greater than ever before--especially in large shops.A detective recently watched a well-dressed woman who always went into a large store on Monday mornings.One Monday,there were fewer people in the shop than usual when the woman came in,so it was easier for the detective to watch her.The woman first bought a few small articles.After a little time,she chose one of the most expensive dresses in the shop and handed it to an assistant who wrapped it up for her as quickly as possible.Then the woman simply took the parcel and walked out of the shop without paying.When she was arrested,the detective found out that the shop assistant was her daughter.The girl\\\'gave\\\'her mother a free dress once a week!

人們不再像以前那么誠(chéng)實(shí)了。偷竊的誘惑力比以往任何時(shí)候——尤其是在大的商店。偵探最近注意上了一位穿著體面的女人總是在星期一上午進(jìn)入一家大商場(chǎng)。一個(gè)星期一,有商店里的人比往常少時(shí),女人走了進(jìn)來(lái),所以偵探比較容易監(jiān)視她。這位婦女先是買(mǎi)了幾樣小物品。過(guò)了一會(huì)兒,她選擇了一個(gè)商店里最昂貴的衣服,把它遞給了售貨員包裹它為她盡快。婦人只是包裹,走出了商店沒(méi)有支付。她被逮捕后,偵探發(fā)現(xiàn)原來(lái)那售貨員是她的女兒。這個(gè)女孩給她母親每星期一次免費(fèi)的衣服!

3.飛越南極

In 1929,three years after his flight over the North Pole,the American explorer,R.E.Byrd,successfully flew over the South Pole for the first time.Though,at first,Byrd and his men were able to take a great many photographs of the mountains that lay below,they soon ran into serious trouble.At one point,it seemed certain that their plane would crash.It could only get over the mountains if it rose to 10,000 feet.Byrd at once ordered his men to throw out two heavy food sacks.The plane was then able to rise and it cleared the mountains by 400 feet.Byrd now knew that he would be able to reach the South Pole which was 300 miles away,for there were no more mountains in sight.The aircraft was able to fly over the endless white plains without difficulty.

在1929,三年后他飛越北極,美國(guó)探險(xiǎn)家R,伯德,首次成功地飛越了南極。雖然,在第一,伯德和他的人可以采取許多橫亙,他們很快就陷入了困境。在這一點(diǎn)上,飛機(jī)似乎肯定會(huì)崩潰的。它只會(huì)在山在上升到10000英尺。伯德馬上命令他的助手們把兩個(gè)沉重的食品袋。于是飛機(jī)可以上升了,它離山頭400英尺。伯德這時(shí)知道他將能夠達(dá)到300英里以外的南極了,因?yàn)闆](méi)有更多的山了。飛機(jī)可以毫無(wú)困難地飛越這一望無(wú)際的茫茫雪原。

5.美夢(mèng)告終

Tired of sleeping on the floor,a young man in Teheran saved up for years to buy a real bed.For the first time in his life,he became the proud owner of a bed which had springs and a mattress.Because the weather was very hot,he carried the bed on to the roof of his house.He slept very well for the first two nights,but on the third night,a storm blew up.A gust of wind swept the bed off the roof and sent it crashing into the courtyard below.The young man did not wake up until the bed had struck the ground.Although the bed was smashed to pieces,the man was miraculously unhurt.When he woke up,he was still on the mattress.Glancing at the bits of wood and metal that lay around him,the man sadly picked up the mattress and carried it into his house.After he had put it on the floor,he promptly went to sleep again.
