【题目】“Everything happens for the best,”my mother said whenever I faced disappointment (失望).“If you carry on,one day something good will happen.”

Mother was right,as I discovered after graduating (毕业) from college in 1932,I had decided to try for a job in radio,then work my way up to a sports announcer.I hitchhiked (搭便车) to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station and got turned down every time.In one studio,a kind lady told me that big stations couldn’t risk hiring an inexperienced person.“Go out in the sticks and find a small station that’ll give you a chance,”she said.I thumbed home to Dixon,Illinois.

While there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon,my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local sportsman to manage its sports department (部门).Since Dixon was where I had played high school football,I applied.The job sounded just right for me.But I wasn’t hired.My mother noticed my disappointment.“Everything happens for the best.”Mom reminded me.Dad offered me the car to hunt a job.I tried WOC Radio in Davenport,Iowa.The program director, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter Mac Arthur told me they had already hired an announcer.

As I left his office,I asked aloud,“How can a guy get to be a sports announcer if he can’t get a job in a radio station?”I was waiting for the lift when I heard Mac Arthur calling,“What did you mean about sports? Do you know anything about football?’’ Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to cover an imaginary (想象的) game.Last autumn,my team had won a game in the last 20 seconds with a 65-yard run.I did a 15-minute build-up to that play, and Peter told me I would cover Saturday’s game! On my way home,I thought of my mother’s words:“If you carry on,one day something good will happen.”

I often wonder what direction my life might have taken if I had gotten the job at Montgomery Ward.
