  After the first World War, a small group of old soldiers returned to their village in Britain.Most of them managed to   1   fairly well, but one-Francis Binstering, who had been wounded and never recovered his   2   was unable to work regularly.  3   he became very poor.Yet he was too   4   to accept anything from the people in the village.

  Once these old soldiers held a reunion dinner in the home of Jules Grandin, who had made   5  money.Grandin produced a curiosity(稀奇的东西)-a large old   6   coin.Each man examined it with   7   as it passed around the long table.All,   8  , had drunk wine freely and the room was full of noisy talk,   9   the gold piece was soon forgotten.Later, when Grandin   10   it and asked for it, the coin was gone.

  One of them suggested everyone be searched,   11   which all agreed, except Blustering.“You   12  , then?” asked Grandin.Blustering said with a red face, “Yes, I cannot allow it.”

  One by one, the others turned out their pockets.When the coin was   13   to appear, attention was focused on poor Blustering.Under the   14   stares of his friends, he walked out and returned to his home.

  A few years later, Grandin had his house repaired.A workman found the gold coin   15   in dirt between planks(板)of the floor.Hurrying to Blustering’s home, Grandin apologized to him.

  “But why didn’t you allow yourself to be   16  ?” Grandin asked.

  “Because I was a   17  , ”Blustering said brokenly.“For weeks we had not enough to eat and my pockets were full of   18  , that I had taken from the table to   19   home to my wife and   20   children.”

  And here is the basic   5   of success, the great secret:  6   your energy, thought, and capital(资本)wholly on the business in which you are   7  .Having begun in one line, determine to fight it out on that   8  , to lead in it, adopt every   9  , have the best machinery, and know the most about it.

  The companies which fail are those which have   10   their capital, which means that they have scattered their brains   11  .They have investments in this, or that, or   12  , here, there, and everywhere.“Don't put all your eggs in one basket” is all   13   , I tell you.“Put all your eggs in one basket, and then   14   that basket”.Look round you and take   15  ; men who do that do not often fail.It is easy to watch and carry the one basket.It is trying to carry too many baskets   16   breaks most eggs in this country.He who   17   three baskets must put one on his   18  , which is likely to fall down.One   19   of the American businessman is lack of concentration.

The Writers' Strike:Making the Best of the Worst

    By now you are probably feeling the effects of the TV writers’ strike---the decision of television writers to stop working. With few new TV shows, I present to you a list of shows available on DVD worth your viewing time to keep you going during this painful period.

    Arrested Development is one of the funniest and most clever shows ever to have appeared on network TV. With a most perfect cast(全体演员), the show sets out to cover the daily happenings of the Bluth family, a group of selfish staff who manage to still put family first.

For more comedy goodness, I recommend one of the sharpest comedies to have ever broadcast, 30 Rock. Starring Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin, two stars with impressive comic timing, the show gives you a glimpse into the making of a sketch show (幽默短剧),similar to Saturday Nigth Live, from the funny writers to the self-centered cast all the way up to the boss.

If you are looking for something more serious, or perhaps Friday Night lights might be more to your liking. If you are a fan of football, this show is probably for you. If you are a fan of great drama, both soapy and serious, this show is probably for you, If you are a fan of good-looking people, this show is definitely for you .

If those shows were not enough for you, might I recommend a show with a more heart-pounding excitement? The Amazing Race, after twelve seasons, still remains one of the most exciting shows on TV. Teams of two travel the globe with little to no money and experience far-out adventures in an attempt to remain the last team standing.

1.If you are fond of soapy TV shows, you will probably choose to watch       .

    A. Friday Night Lights                       B. 30 Rock

    C. the Amazing Race                      D. Saturday Night Live

2.From the DVD shows listed above, we can learn that   .

    A. two teams won the amazing race

    B. football fans enjoy the Amazing Race

    C. the Bluths care about their family though selfish

    D. 30 Rock and Saturday Night Live have nothing in common

3.The author writes the passage to tell us that        .

    A. the effects of the TV writers’ strike are great

    B. the strike puts TV shows in the worst situation

    C. watching DVD is a good choice during the strike

    D. we should choose DVD shows according to our tastes

4.The passage is most probably taken from       .

    A. a book review    B. a newspaper     C. a film poster     D. a DVD menu
