15．Did you know that Albert Einstein could not speak until he was four years old and did not read until he was seven？His parents and teachers worried about his mentalability．
Beethoven's music teacher said about him，"As a composer （作曲家）he is hopeless．"What if this young boy believed it？
When Thomas Edison was a young boy，his teachers said he was so stupid that he could never learn anything．He once said，"I remember I used to never be able to get along at school．I was always at the foot of my class…father thought I was stupid，and I almost decided that I was a stupid person．"What if young Thomas believed what they said about him？
When the sculptor （雕刻家）Auguste Rodin was young，he had difficulty learning to read and write．Today，we may say he had a learning disability．His father said of him，"I have an idiot （白痴）for a son．"His uncle agreed．"He's uneducable，"he said．What if  Rodin had doubted his ability？
Walt Disney was once fired by a newspaper editor because he was thought to have no"good ideas"．Enrico Caruso was told by one music teacher，"you can't  sing．You have no voice at all．"And an editor told Louisa May Alcott that she was unable to write anything that would have popular appeal．What if these people had listened and become discouraged？Where would our world be without the music of Beethoven，the art of Rodin or the ideas of Albert Einstein and Walt Disney？As Oscar Levant once said，It's not what you are but what you don't become that hurts．"
You have great potential．When you believe in all you can be，rather than all you cannot become，you will find your place on earth．

11．Cell Phones：Hang Up or Keep Talking
Millions of people are using cell phones today．In many places，it is actually considered unusual not to use one．（36）B They find that the phones are more than a means of communication-having mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected．

10．For some people，music is no fun at all．About 4% of the population is what scientists call"amusic"．People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes．Amusic people often cannot tell the differences between two songs．
As a result，songs sound like noise to an amusic．Many amuics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other．Life can be hard for amusics．In fact，most people cannot understand what it feel like being amusic．Just going to a restaurant or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful．That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music．However，this can result in social loneliness．"I used to hate parties，"says Margaret，a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic．By studying people like Margaret，scientists are finally learning how to identify（辨别） this unusual condition．
Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different for those of people who can enjoy music．The difference is complex（复杂的），and it is not connected with poor hearing．Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well．They also have no problems understanding common speech．Scientists compare amusics to people who just can't see certain colors．
Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed（诊断）．For years，Margaret felt embarrassed about her music problem．Now she knows that she is not alone．That makes it easier for her to explain．"When people invite me to a concert，I just say"No，thanks．I'm amusic．'"says Margret．"I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy．"
