in her hometown and began looking at the books on the shelves. The man behind the counter, John Smith,
asked if she'd like a job. She needed to start saving for college, so she said yes.
Gloria worked after school and during summer vacations, and the job helped pay for her first year of
college. During college she would do many other jobs: she served coffee in the student union, was a hotel
cleaner and even made maps for the Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying jobs.
One day a woman came into the bookstore and asked Gloria for books on cancer. The woman seemed
anxious. Gloria showed her practically everything they had and found other books they could order. The
woman left the store less worried, and Gloria has always remembered the pride (自豪) she felt in having
helped her customer (顾客).
Years later, as a television hostess, Gloria heard about a child who was born with problems with his
fingers and hand. His family could not afford an operation, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in
his pocket all the time.
Gloria persuaded (说服) her boss to agree to let her do the story. After the story was broadcast, some
doctors called, offering to perform the operation for free.
Gloria visited the boy in the hospital after the operation. The first thing he did was to hold up his repaired
hand and say, "Thank you." What a sweet sense of satisfaction Gloria felt!
At Smith's bookstore, Gloria always realized she was working for the customers, not the store. Today
it's the same. The TV station pays her, but she feels that she should work for the people who watch the
programmes, helping them understand the world better.

George Stephenson was born in 1781 in a poor family. He had to start work when he was only eight. When George was fourteen, he became his father’s helper. He spent a lot of time learning about engines. And on holidays he often took one to pieces and studied each piece carefully. Soon he became a very good worker though he could not read or write. He began to learn the English letters when he was seventeen years old. Every day after he did twelve hours of hard work, he walked a long way to have lessons from a young school teacher. On his eighteenth birthday, he wrote his own name for the first time in his life. George invented many things in his life. The train was the greatest one among them. Today when we watch or take trains from one place to another, we will think of this great man -- George Stephenson.
