【2011·浙江宁波第二次模拟】
“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I faced disappointment.“lf you carry on, one day something good will happen. And you’II realize that it wouldn’t have happened if not for that previous disappointment.”
Mother was right, as I discovered after’graduating from college in 1932, I had decided to try for a jo’o in radio, then work my way up to a sports announcer. I hitchhiked to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station-and got turned down every time. In one studio, a kind Iady told me that big stations couldn’t risk hiring an inexperienced person.“Go out in the sticks and find a small station that’Il give you a chance,” she said. I thumbed home to Dixon, Illinois.
While there were no radio-announcingjobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to manage its sports department. Since Dixon was where I had played high school football, I applied. The job sounded just right for me. But I wasn’t hired. My disappointment must have shown.“Everything happens for the best.” Mom reminded me. Dad offered me the car to hunt a job. I tried woc Radio in Davenport, Iowa. Ra. The program director, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter MacArthur told me they had already hired an announcer.
As I left his office, my frustration(挫折) boiled over. I asked aloud,“How can a fellow get to be a sports announcer if he can’t get a job in a radio station?” I was waiting for the elevator when I heard MacArthur calling,“What was you said about sports? Do you know anything about footballtl” Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary game. The preceding (往 HU的) autumn, my team had won a game in the last 20 seconds with a 65-yard run. I did a 15-minute build-up to that play, and Peter told me I would be broadcasting Saturday’s game! On my way home, as I have many times since, I thought of my mother’s words:”If you carry on, one day something good will happen. Something wouldn’t have happened if not for that previous disappointment.”
I often wonder what direction my life might have taken if I’d gotten thejob at Montgomery ward.
