7．In the cold and plain living room，Matt is sitting in his chair．His eyes don't shine anymore．He looks extremely old and weak．Today is his birthday，and he is by himself．The only thing that he has been doing all day is thinking about how sad and lonely his life is．As he was looking at some old pictures，he found one special with him and his friends from college．This picture brought back the days when he had friends and his life was full of happiness．Also，it brought him a sad memory．This memory happened forty years ago，during his last year of college．Throughout college，Matt had a friend named Mark．Mark was tall and skinny．He wore thick glasses．He was shy，smart and responsible．Also，Mark didn't have as many friends as Matt had．He considered Matt as his best friend．As good friends，they knew everything about each other，and they hung out．Also，they overcame many problems together．They were really good friends．
On his twenty-fourth birthday their life changed．On the night before his birthday，Mark called Matt，"Hi!Matt，"his voice sounded strange．He continued，"I have an important project to work on．I'm having some problem with this．Maybe，you could come over and help me with it giving me some new ideas．Could you？"Matt asked，"What time？"Mark kept in silence for a minute，and then he said，"At 8pm．Is it good for you？"Then Matt answered，"OK!See you later．"At that night，it was Matt's birthday．So，he didn't want to spend his birthday helping Mark with his project．Matt went to a club with some other guys．
The next morning，Matt noticed that Mark was acting differently．When he went to talk to Mark，Mark ignored him completely．He left the classroom without saying one word．As Mark was walking away，Matt said in an angry voice，"You are selfish．You are just thinking about yourself．I was having fun on my birthday．Why can't you understand it？"

他开了车，整夜都在找你．

Matt不知道该说什么或者做什么．

15．Ambition is a necessary quality in life．It is the force which drives us on to use whatever talent we have got．If we haven't got some degree of ambition，these talents will not be used for our own and others'benefit．We must continually want to be better than we are．Without ambition we are just jellyfish that flop through life．We only react to events； we don't try to control them．
Ambition，however，can have several defects．
First of all it can be unrealistic．We may not be able to see the limits of our own abilities，we do ambitious things that are completely beyond us．Our career masters can see our good qualities and our limitations objectivity．They may tell us that we haven't the ability to deal with people and would make good businessman．We refuse to take their evaluation．We keep on trying．Mary years and many disappointments later we are forced to accept their judgement．But what a waste of time our ill-founded ambition has caused us!
Secondly，our ambition can be too concentrated．We devote our attention to one narrow aim，such as getting distinctions in our science subjects．Everything that may draw us away from this aim is cut out of our lives．In the end we get our distinctions．But what damage we have caused ourselves in the process!We are isolated beings who only care about a particular examination．And we probably won't make good scientists．We lack the breadth （宽度） of view necessary for success in higher studies．
Thirdly，our ambition can be limited to lifeless objectives．We want to gain money，or power，or membership of some circles．Persons who feel inferior try to make up by seeking the respect of others through possessions of these artificial signs of worth．
Fourthly，our ambition may be self-centered．Instead of directing some of our ambition towards community improvement，we may exploit （剥削） members of the community in the interests of self-advancements．In later life we may be ambitious for the success of our children but we regard this success as only a further mark of our own success．
Ambition is necessary in the lives of individuals---necessary for their own improvement and for the improvement of the community in which they live．But，like all blind forces，it must be directed if it is not to cause disaster．It must be tightly controlled by the head and the heart．Otherwise ambition may demand too high a price in terms of human qualities．
