    　　Be more popular, get better grades, have more pocket money．．．A teenager's life seems far from trouble-free．However, American author Daniel Gottlieb disagrees．

    　　In his book, Learning From the Heart：Lessons on Living, Loving and Listening, Gottlieb says that people should listen to the voices of others and to their own hearts and learn to feel comfortable with who they are．

    　　In most people's eyes, Gottlieb, 60, might be uncomfortable with himself．He became paralyzed(瘫痪)due to an accident that happened when he was 30．He went through a terrible divorce(离婚)and his second wife got cancer．He had to try hard to communicate with his autistic(患有自闭症的)grandchild．

    　　Yet in his book, Gottlieb manages to see the silver lining to every cloud．He writes that being paralyzed brings him great parking spaces．He doesn't need to spend money on shoes．More importantly, he learns that what he really wants is to stop wanting to become or to have something that he simply cannot be or have．

    　　"Because of my dilferentness, I have not been intimidated(胁迫)by my need to be like everyone rise," he writes．"I might not have become the man I am today were-it not for this trauma(伤害)．"

    　　Perhaps, the best side of being paralyzed for Gottlieb is that he becomes an outsider among people?"like a foreign reporter", as he puts it．He acutely(敏锐的)observes the way people act, think and live, and puts his observations into the pages of Learning From the Hears．Its Chinese version will be released in January next year．

    　　Publishers Weekly says that the message of the book contains "the unmistakable ring of truth to it; love rather than change yourself or anyone else"．

    　　"Trying to change others is about intolerance(不够宽容)," the magazine says, "which is．at the core(核心问题)? of so much enmity(敌对)．We can't find peace unless we are trying to help others find peace also．"

    　　In 1974, after filling out fifty applications, going through four interviews, and winning one offer, I look what I could get － a teaching job at what I considered a distant wild area：western New Jersey．My characteristic optimism was alive only when I reminded myself that I would be doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen－teaching English．

    　　School started, but I felt more and more as if I were in a foreign country．Waa this rural area really New Jersey? My students a week off when hunting season began．I was told they were also frequently absent in late October to help their fathers make hay on the farms．I was a young woman from New York City, who thought that “Make hay while the sun shines” just meant to have a good time．

    　　But, still, I was teaching English．I worked hard, taking lime off only to eat and sleep．And then there was my sixth-grade class－seventeen boys and five girls who were only six yean younger than me．I had a problem long before I knew it．I was struggling in my work as a young idealistic teacher．I wanted to make literature come alive and lo promote a love of the written word．The students wanted to throw spitballs and whisper dirty words in the back of the room．

    　　In college I had been taught that a successful educator should ignore bad behavior．So I did, confident that, as the textbook had said, the bad behavior would disappear as I gave ray students positive attention．It sounds reasonable, but the text evidently ignored the fact that humans, particularly teenagers, rarely seem reasonable．By the time ray boss, who was also ray taskmaster known to be the strictest, most demanding, most quick to fire inexperienced teachers, came into the classroom to observe me, the students exhibited very little good behavior to praise．

    　　My boss sat in the back of the room．The boys in the class were making animal noises, hitting each other while the girls filed their nails or read magazines．I just pretended it all wasn't happening, and went on lecturing and tried to ask some inspiring questions．My boss, sitting in the back of the room, seemed to be growing bigger and bigger．After twenty minutes he left, silently．Visions of unemployment marched before my eyes．

    　　I felt mildly victorious that I got through the rest of class without crying, but at my next free period I had to face him．I wondered if he would let me finish out the day．I walked to his office, took a deep breath, and opened the door．

    　　He was sitting in his chair, and he looked at me long and hard．I said nothing．All I could think of was that I was not an English teacher; I had been lying to myself, pretending that everything was fine．

    　　When he spoke, he said simply, without accusation, “You had nothing to say to them．”

    　　“You had nothing to say to them," he repeated．“No wonder they're bored．Why not get to the meal of the literature and stop talking about symbolism．Talk with them, not at them．And more important, why do you ignore their bad behavior?” We talked．He named ray problems and offered solutions．We role-played．He was the bad student, and I was the forceful, yet, warm, teacher．

    　　As the year progressed, we spent many hours discussing literature and ideas about human beings and their motivations．He helped me identify my weaknesses and my strengths．In short, he made a teacher of me by teaching me the reality of Emerson's words：“The secret to education lies in respecting the pupil．”

    　　Fifteen years later I still drive that same winding road to the same school．Thanks to the help I received that difficult first year, the school is my home now．

    　　Today remarkable escapes are not unusual. In cinemas and on TV we watch secret agents (特工) using all kinds of modern equipment, escape from impossible situations. If we believe what we read in the newspapers, the world of cinema and TV is not so far from the real world. Yet wonderful and brave as modern agents are, none have succeeded in bettering the remarkable feats of Erich Weiss, known to the world as the Great Houdini.

    　　Erich Weiss was born in the U. S. A. in 1874. When he was seven years old he saw his first circus (马戏表演). He wanted to be a magician and conjurer and he began practising every day. He joined an athletic club because he believed that physical fitness was important. When he was eleven he got a job as a locksmith and it was not long before he was able to pick any lock. He was even able lo open handcuffs. In 1893 Erich appeared at the Chicago World Fair as Harry Houdini, Handcuffed King and Escape Artist. This was the start of a remarkable career, which lasted thirty-four years. In this time Houdini and his wife, perhaps the only person who knew the secret of his tricks, traveled all over the world. Houdini performed before millions of people including kings, queens, dukes and millionaires.

    　　Houdini was able to make elephants disappear but his special trick was escaping. Once he was handcuffed and put into a packing case. He was them tied with rope, weighed, and thrown into the sea. It took Houdini less than five minutes to come to the surface. He once challenged the police of fourteen countries to keep him handcuffed and locked up. In Russia he was handcuffed and locked in a steel prison van. The door was locked and chained. There was only a well barred window five inches square. The Russians thought it was impossible to escape from this. Houdini had no modern equipment but it took only an hour. There was nothing to show how he did it. Nobody knows how he performed his remarkable tricks but we do know he practised every day of his life. He was always in very good physical condition. His toes could do the work of fingers. He used to tie string in complicated (复杂的) knots (结) and then undo the knots with his toes without looking! He also learned to stay underwater for six minutes and had an ice cold bath every morning so he could work in winter. There have been many excape artists since Houdini but none have been quite so clever.

    (1)What is Houdini's special trick?

    [　　]

    A．Making elephants disappear.

    B．Picking locks.

    C．Opening handcuffs.

    D．Escaping.

    (2)Compared with the modern agents and the other escape artiste, Houdini is ________.

    [　　]

    A．as clever as themp

    B．cleverer than most of them

    C．the cleverest

    D．not so clever as them

    (3)He began to finish his career at the age of ________.

    [　　]

    A．11
    B．19
    C．34
    D．53

    (4)In the world perhaps ________ knew the secret of his tricks.

    [　　]

    A．no one

    B．only his wife

    C．modern agents
