18.The young boy saw me,or rather,he saw the car and quickly ran up to me,eager to sell his bunches of bananas and bags of peanuts.Though he appeared to be about twelve,he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life."Bananas 300naira.Peanuts 200naira."He said in a low voice.I bargained him down to 200total for the fruit and nuts.When he agreed,I handed him a 500naira bill.He didn't have change,so I told him not to worry.He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.
When,two weeks later,I saw the boy again,I was more aware of my position in a society where it's not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun.My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.I pulled over and rolled down my window.He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready.I waved them away."What's up?"I asked him."I …I don't have money to buy books for school."I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500naira bills."Will this help?"I asked.He looked around nervously before taking the money.One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000naira or less each year."Thank you,sir,"he said."Thank you very much!"
When driving home,I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for schoolbooks.What if he's a swindler?And then I wondered why I did it.Did I do it to make myself feel better?Was I using him?Later,I realized that I didn't know his name or the least bit about him,nor did I think to ask.
Over the next six months,I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria.Sometime after I returned,I went out for a drive.When I was about to pull over,the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face.
"Oh,gosh!Long time."
"Are you in school now?"I asked.He nodded."That's good,"I said.A silence fell as we looked at each other,and then I realized what he wanted."Here,"I held out a 500naira bill."Take this."He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt."What's wrong?"I asked."It's a gift."He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back.His face shone with sweat.He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said,"I've been waiting to give these to you."

15.Frank Woolworth was born in Rodman,New York.,in 1852.His family were very poor farmers,and there was never enough to eat.Frank decided he did not want to be farmer.He took a short business course,and went to work as a salesman in a large city.
Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract people's interest,but he soon learned something more important.One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品 ) for as much as he could get.Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said FIVE CENTS EACH.People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.
Soon afterwards,Woolworth opened his own store.,selling goods at five and ten cents.But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful.That is,if you want to make money by selling low-price goods,you have to buy them in large quantities directly form the factories.Once,for example,Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives.The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year.In this way,the price of the knives was cut down by half.
By 1919,Woolworth had over 1000 stores in the US and Canada,and opened his first store in London.He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world.He always run his business according to strict rules,of which the most important was:"THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT."

2.Once there was an 11-year-old boy who went fishing with his father in the middle of a New Hampshire lake.On the day before bass (巴斯鱼) season opened,they were fishing early in the evening,catching other fish with worms.Then the boy tied on a small silver lure (鱼饵) and put it into the lake.Suddenly he felt that something very big pulling on the lure.His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank.Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water.It was the largest one he had ever seen,but it was a bass.
The boy and his father looked at the big fish.The father lit a match and looked at his watch.It was 10 p.m.-two hours before the season opened.He looked at the fish,then at the boy."You'll have to put it back,son,"he said.
"Dad!"cried the boy."There will be other fish,"said his father."Not as big as this one,"cried the boy.He looked around the lake.No other fishermen or boats were in sight in the moonlight.He looked again at his father.
Even though no one had seen them,nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish,the boy could tell from his father's voice that the decision couldn't be changed.He threw the huge bass into the black water.The big fish disappeared.The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.
That was 34 years ago.Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City.He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.
And he was right.He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago.But he does see that same fish…again and again…every time he has an ethical (道德的) decision to make.For,as his father had taught him,ethics are simple matters of right and wrong.It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.
