In 1996, just before Christmas, Liz's mother died and her father moved to a homeless shelter
mother's death inspired Liz to change her life. She decided go to high school, even though she was still
homeless.
At the age of 15, Liz was beginning high school at a time most teenagers were graduating, but she
promised herself to become a "straight-A student". As she neared the end of her high school education,
and with her straight-A grades, Murray graduated in only two years. She was awarded (被授予) a New
York Times scholarship
into Harvard (哈佛) University
With the scholarship money coming her way, Liz started her studies. While she was there, she began
public speaking-helping people who, like herself, had an almost impossible mountain to climb to succeed in
life.
She left Harvard in 2001 to care for her sick father and to start motivational (励志的) speaking, she
resumed (重新开始) her education at Columbia University
of AIDS. And then she returned to Harvard in 2006 and graduated in June 2009.
Liz says she took some comfort in knowing that her father had died a sober (清醒的) man. "When
someone gets sober, it's almost like meeting them for the first time. Just before he passed away, he wrote
me this card. He wrote in the card, 'Liz, I left my dreams behind a long time ago. But I know now they're
safe with you. Now we're a family again."

markets and back-street clothes shops. Bargaining is an art and if you are unfamiliar (不熟悉的) with it, we'd
like to offer you some advice. The tips here are often used in Beijing but may help you at any place in the
world where bargaining is practiced.
▲Do not say how much you want to pay for something unless it's near the end of the bargaining. Always
try and drop the seller's offering price as much as possible before opening your mouth with a price(B).
▲Do throw out really low prices like 10 RMB with a big smile.
▲从开始到最后都要保持微笑(C). The seller usually continues bargaining with a happy smiling face.
Getting angry hardly gets you the price you want.
▲Keep in mind the price offered by the seller at the beginning is usually at least 40% over the generally
reasonable price. It can be up to 500% over.
▲Do have an idea of what the item costs. You can ask your friends, people in the hotel or others you know,
or look at the list below. This is very general and is based (根据) on a market like Xiu Shui. You may not be
able to get the lowest prices at Xiu Shui, especially on a week-end when there are lots of tourists around.
B. 争吵
C. 讲价
