Warren Buffett

　　For someone who is such a successful investor（投资商）, Warren Buffett comes off as a pretty ordinary guy. He was born on August 30, 1930.   76     He used to go door-to-door and sell soda water. When his family moved to Washington, Buffett became a paperboy for The Washington Post. Buffett ran his five paper routes and even added magazines to round out his product offerings. While still in school, he was making $175 a month, a full-time wage for many men.

__77   He spent $1,200 on 40 acres of farmland in Nebraska. He and a friend also made $50 a week by placing pinball machines in barber shops. They called their venture（企业）Wilson Coin Operated Machine Co. Already a successful small time businessman, Buffett wasn’t interested in going to college but ended up at the University of Pennsylvania---his father encouraged him to go. _  78      But he was turned down in what had to be one of the worst admission decisions in Harvard history. The outcome affected Buffett’s life, for he ended up attending Columbia Business School, where he studied under Professor Benjamin Graham, the father of securities analysis(分析) who provided the foundation （基础）for Buffett’s investment strategy.

From the beginning, Buffett made his fortune from investing. He started with all the money he had made from selling soda water, delivering papers, and operating pinball machines. Between 1950 and 1956, he grew his $9,800 to $14,000. ___79   And then he gradually drew in other investors through word of mouth and very attractive terms.

      80   He doesn’t collect houses or cars or works of art, and he disdains（鄙视）companies that waste money on expensive ears, private dining rooms, and high-priced real villas. He is a creature of habit——same house, same office, same city, same soda water.

A．Then Buffett applied to Harvard Business School.

B．Buffett is more likely to be found in a four- star restaurant.

C．When he was 14, Buffett still kept great interest in investment.

D．Even as a young child, Buffett was serious about making money.

E．One thing is for sure about Buffett: he is happy doing what he is doing.

F．Buffett’s investment strategy mirrors his lifestyle and his overall philosophy.

G．From there, he organized investment partnerships with his family and friends.

We all want to buy that new piece of technology, treat ourselves to an expensive dinner, or take out a loan for the car we can’t afford．It might feel great at the time but hasty(匆忙的) spending hurts a lot later on．Enjoy life’s simple pleasures and save as much as you can．Expensive things don’t create lasting happiness．Careful spending will bring you greater enjoyment in the long run．

To be happy we need continuous growth．The best way to grow is lifelong education．This doesn’t mean you need to pursue a doctorate or spend 2 hours reading every day．Self education can be anything that takes you out of your comfort zone．The important part is keeping an open mind and searching for fresh ideas．

63．

Suppose you had everything you wanted．Would you be happy without anyone to share it with? The personal relationships we develop with friends and family members are the greatest source of happiness in our lives．Don’t forget about them．Taking the time to develop and enjoy personal relationships is important to long-term happiness．

64．

Even if your life isn’t perfect, you can always build towards a goal．The best way to do this is working towards a goal．We can’t control everything about our lives, but working towards a goal gives us something positive to focus on and lays the foundation for future success．No matter what your passion is, get out there and start doing something．

65．                   

You only get one body．Once it’s been ruined there isn’t much you can do about it．Exercise to keep the body working well．Avoid eating too much of damaging substances and unhealthy foods．It may feel terrible at the time but enjoying good health in your later years is worth the sacrifice．

Being organized is an important skill for school and life．When you’re well organized, you can stay focused, instead of spending time hunting things down．  71   For schoolwork, it means having one notebook or place where you store all your assignments, so you know what you have to do and when．Keeping labeled folders（贴有标签的文件夹） for handouts（课堂讲义）and keeping all your schoolwork neat and in a specific place—these are the main parts of organization．

For home stuff, being organized means having a place to put your things and putting them back as you go．  72    It means keeping your schoolbag, your shoes, and your clean underwear in the same places so you always know where to find them．

Planning is part of being organized, too．  73    Calendars, lists, and schedules can help you plan．You can buy or draw a calendar and keep it near your workplace．Making a schedule or “to-do” list for yourself is a good idea．Looking at your list helps you keep track of what you need to do． 74    Check off things when you’ve done them．Use your list to help you decide which thing is most important to work on first．

75    But once you’re organized, it feels great．The less time you spend hunting around for things or panicking about homework, the more time you have for better things, like reading a good book or playing．

E．What does it mean to be organized?

F．It takes some extra efforts to organize yourself and your stuff．

G．It means hanging your coat up instead of dropping it on the floor or throwing it on a chair．
