【原文】

“Keep calm and carry on” -- You can see this message written on many T-shirts and other tourist souvenirs (纪念品) in London and the UK. It has become so famous that there are many versions of it: “keep calm and learn English”. As you can see, you can substitute (替换) the ‘Carry on’ part for anything you want, really!

But where does the original phrase come from? Well, it comes from World War II. It was a message used for a poster created by the British government to calm people down and encourage them during the war when London was being attacked. The idea was to carry on with life as normal, as if there was no war.

Staying calm when you’re in trouble is known as a very British thing to do. British people are famous for keeping a “stiff upper lip”(泰然自若). This means your lips don’t shake when you are excited or frightened; you stay calm and don’t show people how you are really feeling.

Are British people still like this today? Do they still keep a “stiff upper lip”? Modern Britain is very different from how it was 60 years ago and British people probably show their emotions (情绪) more than they used to . But if “keep calm and carry on” is still so famous today, then it must be something that British people still think and care about, and something they are still famous for. So next time you are frightened or in danger, just keep clam and carry on.

【题目】A businessman was once deep in debt（债务）and could see no way out. He sat on a park bench, head in hands, wondering if anything could save his company.

Suddenly an old man appeared in front of him. “I can see that something is troubling you,” he said. After listening to the businessman’s trouble, the old man said, “I believe I can help you.”

He asked the man his name, wrote out a check（支票）and pushed it into his hand, saying, “Take this money. Meet me here exactly one year from today, and you can pay me back at that time.” Then he turned and disappeared.

The businessman saw his hand a check for $500,000, signed by John D. Rockefeller. One of the richest man in the world.

“It can solve my problem at once!” the businessman realized. But instead, he decided to put the check in his safe. Just knowing it was there that might give him the strength（力量）to work out a way to save his business, he thought.
