    In the city of Chicago I met a man I will never forget. He drove a bus that ran from downtown to the edge of the city. Each night I watched him. As the passengers got on the bus, he smiled at each one. It was fun to see how many passengers forgot their troubles and smiled back.
    There was one passenger, I noticed, that had never smiled back. He usually coughed roughly through his mustache (胡子) as he got on the bus. And he never covered his mouth. But that wasn’t enough to stop the bus driver’s smile. He gave the man with the mustache and the rough cough his biggest smile.
    The man with the mustache never seemed to see that smile. He would sit on the edge of his seat and complained about the way that the bus driver was driving. He only complained for a short time, but he spoke loudly enough so everybody could hear. It was enough to make me sick. But the driver never said a word. He just went on smiling at passengers as they got on the bus.
    I wanted to get to know this bus driver better. One night I stayed on the bus to the end of the line. I asked the driver, “Why don’t you throw that man with the mustache out of the bus?” The bus driver looked at me and gave me one of his famous smiles. “I don’t care about that,” he said. “Let me tell you about my friend’s dog. The man next door to me has a dog. Every time the moon shines, the dog barks (狗叫) and barks all night.” “Well, what about the dog and the moon?” I asked. “Oh, the moon keeps on shining,” he said.

    It was the first day of school. I had a new classmate, a little old lady with a warm smile.
    She said, “Hi, young man! I'm Rose. I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug? ”
    I said      , “Of course!”
    “Why are you in college at such an age?” I asked.
    She joked, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have children, and then travel around the world.”
    “No, seriously,” I asked.
    “I always dreamed of having a college education. Now I’m getting one!” she told me.
    After a year, Rose became       . She could easily get along well with others wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she enjoyed the attention from others.
    At the end of the term we invited Rose to       at our party. I’ll never forget what she taught us.
    “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. Here are the secrets of staying young. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you        your dreams, you die!” she said.
    “There is a big       between growing old and growing up. Anybody can grow old. That doesn’t take any talent,” she added. “But to grow up, you have to find the chance in change. Have no regrets(遗憾). We usually don’t have regrets for what we did,      rather for things we did not do.”
    Finally we graduated from the college with Rose. One week after graduation, she died peacefully in her sleep. She taught us by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be.

    Our village carpenter (木匠) , John, came one day and made a dining table for my wife. He made it just the right size for the space between the two windows. When I got home that evening, John was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill for the job.
    My wife said to me quietly,“That’s his ninth cup of tea today. ”But she said, in a loud voice,“It’s a beautiful table, dear, isn’t it？”
    “I’ll decide about that when I see the bill. ”I said.

    “Yes,colder — and more expensive! A dining table will be $20 more expensive on November 30, won’t it, John？”
    John looked hard at me for half a minute. Was there a little smile in his two blue eyes？I gave his bill back to him.

    I paid him $26. 50 and he was happy to get it.

    In 1816, there were no schools for the deaf in America. Several people started a few schools, but in the end all of the schools closed. There were too many problems. The first people to succeed were Laurent Clerc and Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet. They opened their school in 1817, and the school did not close.

    But it doesn’t stop Sanchez’s love of music. She wrote her first song Keep Your Head Up when she was 12.

    Sir Steven Redgrave—Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals
    “In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes (糖尿病), believing the profession trained for the whole of my life ended, I felt very sorry. Then one of my friends said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it—the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isn’t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn’t finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.”

    Karen Pickering—Swimming World Champion (冠军)
    “I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that amount of work by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success—you can’t follow a profession in any field without being well-organized. Make a list of what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them.”
    Kristen Stewart—Actress

    “When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve anything. Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to give most of your attention to one thing. When I feel nervous, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘focus’ , ‘calm’, ‘peace’, either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence. This is a habit and is a powerful psychological(心理学的) tool.”
    小题1:Sir Steven Redgrave mainly talks about ________.
    A．difficulties stopped his profession B．doctors offered him help
    C．illness couldn’t stop him trying to win D．he didn’t believe in himself

    A．6 hours a dayB．6 hours a week
