题目内容

In Britain you are allowed to drive a car when you are seventeen. You have to get a special twoyear driving license before you can start. When you are learning,someone with a full license always has to be in the car with you because you aren't allowed to drive the car on the road alone. You don't have to go to a driving school―a friend can teach you. The person with you isn't allowed to take the money for the lesson unless he's got a teacher's license.

Before you are allowed to have a full license,you have to take a driving test. You can take a test in your own car,but it has to be fit for the road. In the test you have to drive round for about half an hour and then answer a few questions. If you don't pass the test,you are allowed to take it again a few weeks later if you want to. In 1970 a woman passed her fortieth test after 212 driving lessons. When you've passed your test,you don't have to take it again,and you are allowed to go on driving as long as you like. Britain's oldest driver was a man who drove in 1974 at the age of 100.

Before 1904 everyone was allowed to drive,even children. Then from 1904 car drivers had to have a license. But they didn't have to take a test until 1935. On the early days of car driving,before 1878,cars weren't allowed to go faster than four miles an hour,and someone had to lead the car with a red flag.

The third day the little boy was dry when he came home.

"You're a good boy today," his mother was very happy. "You didn't play in the water." "No”， the boy wasn't happy and said. "There were so many older boys in the water when I got there this afternoon. There wasn't any room (空地方) for me at all!"

Once there was an unknown young painter who made a living by painting portraits (pictures of persons) . One day,a rich man came by and asked him to draw a portrait for him. They agreed on the pay of 10,000 dollars.

Soon the portrait was finished. But the rich man hit on a bad idea, "The man in the painting is me. If I don't buy this painting,no one else will. Why should I pay so much money for it？”So he said, "I will only pay 3 ,000 dollars."

The young artist was shocked and strongly argued about the fairness. But the rich man just didn't listen to him, "I ask you one last time,will you sell it for 3 ,000 dollars or not?"

The young artist knew the rich man went back on his word on purpose,so he said calmly, "No,I'd prefer not to sell the painting rather than being humiliated by you. But if you break your promise today,you'll pay 20 times of it later. Let's wait and see."

Before long the painter moved out of this sad place,visiting many famous teachers to study hard on painting night and day.

More than a dozen ( means 12) years passed. The rich man had already forgotten the artist's painting and words until one day,some of his friends came to tell him, "It is so strange!We paid a visit to a famous artist's exhibition of paintings,and found that the man on one of the paintings which is marked 200,000 dollars looks exactly the same as you. It is so ridiculous that the title of the painting is Thief."

It was a headon blow to him. He immediately thought up the young painter years ago. If the painting was really the one on which he broke his promise that year,it would be terrible. He went to the exhibition right away. As he feared,the painting named Thief was no other than that one on which he had broken his words that year. He quickly apologized to the artist and paid 200,000 dollars to buy back the portrait.

The young painter finally brought the rich man to his knees. Nobody can really humiliate or beat you as long as you put all your heart in what you are interested in. And this young man's name was Pablo Picasso.

I spoke at a middle school in 1995. When it was over,the headmaster asked me if I would visit a special student. An illness had kept him at home. He wanted to meet me,thinking I knew about overcoming (克服) difficulties and going for dreams. I agreed.

During the drive to his home,I knew he was called Matthew,a real fighter. He had a muscle (肌肉) disease. I spent an afternoon talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, "Why me?" He didn't mention how he was made fun of being different;he just talked about his hope for the future,and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me.

When we finished talking,I pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming difficulties than I. He looked at it for a moment and handed it back,saying, "Rick,you are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday,when I get to the Olympics and win my gold medal,I will show it to you."

Last summer I heard from Matthew's parents. They wanted me to read a letter he had written to me a few days before his death.

Dear Rick,

I've kept all the letters you wrote to me. I told you someday I was going to the Olympics to win a gold medal. I know now I will never get to do that. But I know I am a champion. When I get to heaven,God will give me my gold medal,and when you get there,I will show it to you.

Thanks for loving me.
