    　　Isn't it astonishing how much time we spend talking about food? “Have you ever eaten…?” “What did you have for lunch?” and so on．And yet when you travel from one country to another, you will find that people have quite different feelings about food．People often feel that what they eat is normal(正常)and that what other people eat is strange or silly．In most parts of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice．In England, people eat potatoes every day．In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal．Eating like so many things we do, becomes a habit which is difficult to change．Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee．The English drink tea four or five times every day．Australians drink a great deal of beer, and the French drink wine every day．

    　　The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another．Horse meat is thought to be delicious in France．In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes．New Zealander eat sheep, but they never eat goat meat．The Japanese don't like to eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy eating raw fish(生鱼)．

    　　So it seems that although eating is a topic we can talk about for hours, there is very little common sense in what we say it．People everywhere enjoy eating what they have always eaten, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits．

    　　I didn't realize how short I was until I started school．There, a few kids picked on(欺负)me, calling me names．Then I knew．After that, I began to hate the first day of school each year．I didn't know who was new and would stare at me as I struggled to climb the school bus stairs．Some of the kids would point and say, “Look at that kid．Look at her．”

    　　As time went on, I just tried to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life．I was determined to make my uniqueness an advantage rather than a disadvantage．My friends became increasingly protective．They'd help me up the bus steps．If people were cruel, they would take them aside and correct them．

    　　What I lacked in height, I made up for in personality－my ability to laugh, even at myself．For example, one time I was reaching into the washing machine at my parents' house to grab the wet clothes．I fell all the way in and yell for Mother, who was sitting nearby reading the paper．Watching feet flying everywhere, she laughed quietly and said, “I should leave you in there．”I laughed with her．

    　　I'm 47 now, and the stares have not decreased as I've grown older．People ask my friends if I live in a dollhouse．They look in disbelief when they see me get out of my car on the driver's side．During those times, I try to keep a good attitude．When people are rude, I remind myself, “Look what else I have－a great family, nice friends…”

    　　So this is in praise of the almost winner, the nearly champion, the next to the biggest, the second best．This is the song of Mister Two．

    　　You hear unfavorable names for Mister Two．“Also-ran”, they call him, and “runner-up”, names that make you think of a fellow who couldn’t quite make it．

    　　Don’t let that fool you．

    　　Ask the winner of any race how good a man Mister Two is．He will tell you it’s Mister Two who made him run so fast, Mister Two pressing hard at his heels(脚后跟)and threatening always to overtake and pass him．

    　　Ask the salesman who won the contest and what kept him plugging(推广，宣传)after hours, looking for extra order(订单)．Ask the directors of the big company why they keep changing their product, seeking the new equipment, the added advantage．What drives them? What keeps them hopping? It’s the salesman with nearly as many orders．It is the company with the product almost as good．It’s Mister Two．

Couldn’t it be because great Mister Two’s growing naturally in a land where the race is always open and everybody can run?

    　　So this is for you, Mister Two．This is your song．This is for all the days you tried for first, and came in second．It’s for the nights when you wonder if you ought to go on trying, since nobody seems to notice…
