     In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老) treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.

Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light-heartedly out the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh boy, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.” I wanted to strike him on the race with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, for his smile.

Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter,  the sales agent said with a broad smile, “Oh that bus left rive minutes ago.” Dreams of head-cutting!

It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered. Everyone must give bad mews from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation dose it in a caring way A boss informing an employee he didn’t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.

 Unfortumately, many people are not aware of this. When you’re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready ye? When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.

   Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, “Oh, that ‘s all right. I’ll catch the next one.” Big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded (被轰炸的) person is sure to have .

When Joe left university, he got a good work in a bike factory.
But after he had been worked there for some years, he decided
to have change, so he put a notice in several newspapers,
saying what experiences he had and the kind of job he would
like to have. One of the answers he accepted was from a man
was looking for a job, too. This man wrote to him, “Dear, sir,
when you get a new job, be kind enough to give your name and
address to your present boss as I have been trying to find
a position like yours for a long time.” After he reads the letter,
he suddenly realized that what he had done was real foolish.

I grew up poor – living with six brothers, my father and a wonderful mother. We had   36  money and few worldly goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was   37   and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could   38   afford a dream.

    My dream was to be a   39  .When I was sixteen, I could crush a baseball, throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball. I was also   40  : my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who   41  me the difference between having a dream and showing strong belief. One particular   42  with him changed my life forever.

    It was a summer and a friend recommended me for a summer   43  . This meant a chance for my first income—cash for a new bike and new clothes, and the   44  of savings for a house for my mother. The opportunity was attracting, and I wanted to   45   at it.

    Then I realized I would have to   46   summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing. I was   47   about this.

    When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as   48  as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,” he said. “Your   49  days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them.”

    I stood before him with my head   50  , trying to think of how to explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth   51   his disappointment in me.

“How much are you going to make at this job?” he demanded.

“$ 3．25 an hour,” I replied.

“Well, is $ 3.25 an hour the price of a   52  ?” he asked.

    That   53  laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to   54   that summer, and within the year I was offered a $ 20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $ 1.7 million, and bought my mother the   55  of my dreams.

                    The Winner’s Guide to Success

How do successful people think? What helps them to make success? To find out the answers, an American scholar recently visited some of the most successful people in America.    1  

Be responsible for yourself

Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead.    2     You’re saying, “You have more control over my life than I do.”

Live life “on purpose”

Almost all successful people live life “on purpose”— they are doing what they believe they should and want to do. When you live your life on purpose, you’ll try your best to do your job or study as well as you can. You love what you do and you can find pleasure in what you do.

Write a plan

It is very difficult trying to get what you want without a good plan.     3     A good plan is like a map to you. Without this “map”, you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the “map” you’ll enjoy the “trip” and get what you want in the shortest possible time.

Be willing to pay the price

Nothing great is easy to get. So you must be ready to work hard — even harder than you have ever done. If you are not willing to pay the price, you won’t get anything valuable.

Never give up   4    When you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope.   5    Once an American writer was writing a novel. He could not have a good ending for his book until one night when he had a very good idea. He was so excited that he made a phone call to one of his best friends. “I’ve got a perfect idea,” he said, “I’ll put it down later and show it to you.” But he never did, because he died that night. His book was left without a perfect ending. So remember, do what you can right away. Never delay at all. 

A. It is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away.

B. It seems to us that everyone knows this. But it is easier said than done.

C. Some people achieve success much later in life because they fail to realize earlier the importance of hard work.

D. In fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success, you’re giving away your own power.

E. Someone else’s opinion of you doesn’t have to become your reality.

F. Don’t delay

G. Here are some keys to success that they give.

 

Many everyday American expressions are based on colors.

    Red is a hot color. Americans often use it to express heat. They may say they are red hot about something unfair. When they are red hot they are very angry about something. The small hot tasting peppers found in many Mexican foods are called red hots for their color and their fiery taste.

    Pink is a lighter kind of color. People sometimes say they are in the pink when they are in good health. It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink color that shows that they are in good health.

    Blue is a cool color. The traditional blues music in the United States is the opposite of red hot music. Blues is slow, sad and soulful. Someone who is blue is very sad.

    The color green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural color for humans. A person who has a sick stomach may say he feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green. If a person is green at his job, he may be a newcomer and inexperienced. Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has, like a new sports car. That person may say he is green with envy. Some people are green with envy because their friend has more dollars.

    The color black is used often in expressions. People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a black day. The date of a major tragedy is remembered as a black day.

1.If a person feels blue, he is _____.

A. annoyed  B. depressed  C. stressed   D. encouraged
