Johnson was born in a family in Arkansas City in 1918. His father died in an accident when John was six. He was reaching high school age, but his hometown offered no high schools for the blacks. Fortunately he has a strong-willed and caring mother. John remembers that his mother told him many times, “Son, you can be anything you really want to be if you just believe. She told him not to be dependent on others, including his mother. “You have to earn success , said she, “all the people who work hard don’t succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard. These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education. She also knew that believing and working hard don’t mean everything. So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son to Chicago. Chicago in 1933 was not the Promised Land that black southerners were looking for. John’s mother could not find work. But here John could go to school, and here learned the power of words-as an editor of a newspaper. His wish was to publish a magazine for the blacks. While others discouraged him, John’s mother offered him more words to live by: “Nothing beats a failure but a try. She also let him sell her furniture to get the 500 dollars he needed to start the Negro magazine. It’s natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful. He always keeps his mother’s words in mind. “Son, failure is not in your dictionary. Now John H. Johnson is one of the 400 richest people in America-worth 150 million dollars. 【查看更多】

     

    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    Gwyn, my youngest daughter, held Tiger as we drove down the country road to the vet’s（兽医） on what was to be his last Friday morning. Privately, both of us nursed a forlorn (几乎无望的) hope. We joked and laughed, trying to ignore the shadow hanging over the cat sitting very quietly in her arms.                

    At 16, Tiger was old for a cat. In quiet dignity, he let Gwyn pet him, perhaps understanding that this was a special trip. I glanced at the two as I drove, and thought back to the day when Tiger entered our lives.

    He had been a Christmas present to my second son Brian, handed down—as were his clothes and toys—from his older brother. Sadly, even our dogs had neglected Brian, responding much more eagerly to my commands, and those of my wife and older boy.

    And so, on Christmas Day 1954, I rose early with my wife to put the tiny kitten（小猫） a neighbor had given us into the stocking that Brian had carefully hung to the mantel the night before. The first of my vivid memories involving Tiger is the look of joy on Brian’s face when he saw the kitten’s face ,when he saw the kitten’s head poking out of the stocking, and heard the plaintive “meow” that proved his present was alive.

    From then on, Tiger’s life was filled with love. Brian cared for him tenderly, fed him, played with him. For a sometimes rough, sometimes clumsy child, Brian showed a gentleness with Tiger that was amazing. And at midnight, I would invariably find Tiger on Brian’s bed, stretched out beside him.

    My next clear memory of Tiger is also a happy one, which came after near-tragedy. One evening our next-door neighbor rang the front doorbell. “I’m sorry to have to tell you this,” she said when my wife answered the door, “but when I backed out of the driveway this noon, I’m afraid I ran your cat. I tried to help him, but he jumped up and ran away. I don’t know where he went or how badly he was hurt.”

    Four weeks passed with no sign of Tiger. Soldier-like, Brian tried to hide his fear that his friend had crawled away to die. It was a fear we all shared. And we came to accept his death—all of us except Brian.

    Every evening Brian would go to the door and call Tiger’s name. Finally, on the 28th day after the neighbor’s announcement, Brian had an answer. Out from under the front porch came Tiger, his tail high, walking with the pride and majesty he customarily displayed, behaving as if he had never been away. As he approached the door, Brian’s face was transformed with joy. But neither he nor Tiger displayed open affection in front of the family. There was a calm acceptance, an honoring by each of the other’s dignity. That night, though, when I checked Brian’s room, I saw that his cheeks were wet and a blissful smile was on his face. And his arm encircled his cat, who lay purring quietly beside him.
