Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers urged, “Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience．” How right they were! Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends．

“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson．It is the paste that helps you hang in there when the going gets tough．It is the inner voice that whispers, “I can do it!” when others shout, “No, you can’t!” It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist （遗传学家） who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted．Yet she didn’t let up on her experiments．Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping．

We are all born with wide – eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, whatever their age．At 90,cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach （巴赫）．As the music flowed through his fingers, his bent shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes．As author and poet Samuel once wrote, “Years wrinkle（使生皱纹） the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul．”

Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money, title or power．Patricia Mcllrath, retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm．She replied, “My father, a lawyer, long ago told me, I never made a penny until I stopped working for money．”

If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can do it as a hobby．Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan, was 68 before she began to draw．This activity ended her depression that had troubled her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, “I am persuaded to call Layton a genius．”

We can’t afford to waste tears on “might-have-beens”．We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what-can-be．” We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our senses-finding pleasure in the sweet smell of a backyard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, and the beauty of a rainbow．

In 1995, Susan Boyle went to Glasgow to audition （试演） for My Kind of people, a televised talent show popular in the UK．She was immediately rejected．She was nervous during the audition, and felt she didn't perform well, but her brother said that she was rejected because of her plain looks．Boyle was not discouraged and continued to sing at church and at the karaoke nights in a local pub.

Boyle suffered a personal loss in 1997, when her father passed away．After his death．Boyle put her big dreams on hold to care for her sick mother Bridget Boyle．The mother and daughter often talked of Susan's possible fame．Bridget Boyle encouraged her daughter to take part in singing competitions．“She was the one who said I should enter Britain's Got Talent．We used to watch it together.” Susan later told reporters．“She thought I would win.”

In 1999, Boyle used all of her savings to pay for a professional demo （样本唱片） tape．which she sent to record companies．In 2002, Boyle began taking singing lessons from voice coach Fred O'Neil．

In 2007, Boyle's mother passed away at the age of 91．A neighbor reported that when Bridget Boyle died, her daughter “wouldn't come out for three or four days or answer the door or phone.” She lived alone with her cat, Pebbles．For over a year, she refused to sing．But in August of 2008, O'Neil urged her to try out for Britain's Got Talent．Convinced that the performance would be an honor to her mother, Boyle auditioned in Glasgow, Scotland．She sang I Dreamed A Dream in the first round of the show, which was aired on 11 April 2009.

The 47-year-old Scottish woman's plain looks provided a sharp contrast （对比） to her powerfully beautiful voice．The performance astonished the audience and the judges．Online videos of her performance totaled over 40 million views within a week．Although she failed to win the final of Britain's Got Talent, Susan Boyle became globally popular．Her first album I Dreamed A Dream has sold over five million copies.

Recently, two professors of the University of Nebraska made a weekly television programme in which they discussed worthwhile books．Even primary school graduates watched, listened and learned．Therefore, it is not true that ETV has not been taught in the United States．I doubt the statement that "programmes which inform and enrich the mind in a general manner are wasted in schools"．There is a need to teach directly by television if we take teaching in the broad sense of the term.

Direct teaching by television has been explained as a series （系列）of television lessons directly related to a particular classroom textbook to satisfy the needs of pupils and teachers in a particular subject．Each lesson will be prepared by a teacher - specialist who also knows tele- vision production techniques and uses the modern technology in a television studio to put across his subject.

Will such TV lessons do without the services of a classroom teacher or will they cost him his reputation （名誉） or job? No! In fact, without the classroom teacher to review the material, enlarge on it and answer questions that the students may bring up, such TV lessons would not be of very great value.

The children who watch ETV do so with different results - from very good to fair．Possibly, the programs are too similar or too serious．Generally, they are not too long．Very likely, the children who benefit least are the slow learners．However, it is believed that there is a bright future for ETV inside and outside the classroom．The time may come, when bigger and clearer screens will be used in the classroom, bigger and better programs will be exchanged between countries and more foreign experts will be brought in, listened to and followed by newcomers in the ETV field.

1．Which of the following suggests the programme is popular?______.

A．it was shown every week.

B．Even children enjoyed watching it.

C．It was made by university professors.

D．Worthwhile books were discussed in it.

2．Which of the following is true about ETV according to the text?______.

A．It requires a good command of modern technology.

B．It can be valuable without classroom teachers.

C．It can meet all the needs of both teachers and students.

D．It is sure to help different students achieve good results.

3．The underlined phrase "to put across his subject" probably means ______

A．to explain his subject B．to learn his subject well

C．to discuss his subject D．to know what he is talking about

4．What would be the best title for the text?

A．The Future of ETV B．ETV---A New Way of Teaching

C．The Excitement of ETV D．The Advantages and Disadvantages of ETV
