John was a very strong man. Once he got a job of cutting wood in a forest. His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he should work.
The first day, John cut down 18 trees. "Good," the boss said, "keep it up!" John was encouraged by the words of the boss and tried harder the next day, but he could only cut down 15 trees. The third day he tried even harder, but he could only cut down 10 trees. Day after day he was cutting down fewer and fewer trees.
"I must be losing my strength," John thought. He went to the boss and said that he could not understand what was going on. "When was the last time you had sharpened your axe?" the boss asked. "Sharpened? I had no time to sharpen my axe. I have been very busy trying to cut more treesl" said John.
The moral of this story: While John was working hard, he didn't think about how to do his job better. Our lives are like that. We sometimes get so busy that we don't take time to sharpen our skills. Many of us never learn new skills. We think that whatever we have learned is enough. However, in some ways, sharpening our skills from time to time is the key to success.

Ten-year-old Barack Obama (奥巴马)was one of the only three black students at his school in Hawaii, the US. He is different from most of the other students. White girls wanted to touch his hair. A white boy asked him if his father ate people.

‘I lied to them that my father was a Kenyan prince(肯尼亚王子). But I kept asking myself who I was.’ said Obama.

However, 37 years later, the boy became well-known. On November 4th, 2008, Obama became the first black president in US history with 297 electoral (选举的) votes.

Obama was born in 1961, to an African father and a white American woman from a small town in the US. He grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii. This unusual background made him wonder who he was. He once turned to alcohol(酒精)to help forget this question.

With the help of his friends, Obama finally turned his life around in the university. His hard work made him star at Harvard University. Later, he became the third black senator (参议员) in US history.

During his race to the highest post in the US, Obama talked about his background. He called for a United States of America, rather than a white America or a black America. ‘Obama’s success has made Martin Luther King’s dream come true. That is : A man should not be judged by the colour of his skin, but by the content of his character.’ he said at the speech in Chicago soon after he was elected.

     In the age of reality television, success isn't the only way to the public eye. Failure can also create fame,
just like William Hung, 21, a native of Hong Kong.
     Hung recently has made an agreement with US-based entertainment firms Koch Records and Fuse Music
Network. They will publish a full-length record, titled"The True Idol" on April 6.
     The idol is a civil engineering student at the University of California at Berkeley. He did a version of Ricky
Martin's "She Bangs" on the television show "American Idol 3", on January 27. The Fox TV singing contest
searches for pop stars among ordinary people. In the case of Hung, however, his act was so bad that the
judges cut him off in mid-act.
     Hung's response? "I already gave my best, so I have no regrets at all." That's good, because any common
person would have found plenty to regret: The off-key singing. The blue Hawaiian shirt worn with pants pulled
up too high. The terrible dancing. The hips jerking (摇摆) to a beat that did not belong to the song, maybe not
even to this planet. It was, by all accounts, bad.
     But, it was this very bad act that sold well.
     Marc Juries, president of Fuse, explained it this way: "Every one of us is happily guilty of singing our
favorite song at the top of our lungs with complete freedom, completely off-key and completely unworried.
That's what William did and immediately won the hearts of America."
     Whatever it is, for the moment it's big. Three websites devoted to Hung have gone up on the Internet in
the past few weeks. Versions of his performance have been remixed with hip hop and techno-music and
have made it to the top 10 request list at a Chicago radio station.
      So, what does Hung think of this?
      "There were all these people saying things about me. A lot were saying I was very courageous and that
I was great on the show, but some didn't have much respect for me and some were kind of mean."
      Now he says he's not so sure whether to distance himself from the glamour (魅力) or to accept it.
Returning to normal hasn't been easy.
