Ben and his wife Susan were on their way to have dinner with their friends. It was a dark, windy night,
and they did not know the way very well. They drove through a town until they found what they thought
was the road to Dorling,where their friends lived. But it soon became clear that they were not on the road
to Dorling at all. The road that they were on was getting narrower,and there were no other cars on it. The wind was blowing harder with every minute that passed.
They came to a small village .They drove past a church and then two houses without lights on. There
was nobody about to tell them where they were,or where the road went. Just then, Ben saw a telephone
box,twenty meters or so further on. While he walked back along the road to see if there was a name
outside the church,Susan telephoned their friends and told them that they were still on their way.
Their friends were just saying that the dinner was already getting rather cold,when Ben came back to
the telephone box,his head down against the wind. He said that there was a tree lying across the road, and
that the telephone lines were down. Susan heard nothing more from their friends about the dinner. |

I was in a strange city I didn"t know at all, and what"s more, I could not speak a word of the language. On my second day I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off and walked
on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough, then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I
knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived, and even that I pronounced badly. I
stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. He handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of
the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The
next person. I asked was a policeman. He listened to me carefully, nodded and gently took me by the
arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I nodded politely and
began walking in the direction he pointed.?
About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields
were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for
me to do was find the nearest railway station. |

I remember the exact moment I learned the principle of preparing for luck.
I was on the wrestling (摔跤) team. Now, if there"s one thing I can tell you about any sport, it is that
wrestling is probably the sport that has the least 1 .There are only two people out on the mat, so you
cannot 2 it on your teammates or your coach. And guess what? There is no 3 problem because we
do the whole thing indoors, so you can"t say, "It was raining" or "It was snowing." It makes 4 to say
wrestling is the sport with the least luck.
On our team were two world champions; one of them had been a world champion five times. We
5 had five people who were national champions. One of them was a guy 6 the name of John.
John had never been 7 in any high school wrestling competition that I could
remember, 8 he was a national champion. There was nobody locally who could touch him.
One day, we 9 a match with our biggest opponent (对手). John went out on the mat, and about a
minute and 30 seconds into the match he tried to make a particular 10 He rolled over, and his opponent 11 him halfway through his roll. He was pinned (压住) 12 !
The match was over.
I remember on the way home, one of our teammates tried to 13 John by saying, "Oh, he just got lucky." John said, "That"s so stupid. The 14 presented itself, and he just drew upon it."
We used to have this big 15 in our wrestling room that the coach had put there: "Luck is what happens
when opportunity meets 16 ."
John"s opponent was prepared to make use of this opportunity. The possibility of beating John was not
17 and he knew it. But he waited for the 18 opportunity to present itself, and he defeated and pinned
a five-time national champion.
In other words, the real 19 is "Be prepared!" It"s not just finding the opportunity; you have to be
prepared to 20 it. |

In our old neighborhood, neighbors chatted over fences. Newcomers were welcomed with chocolate
and bread. It had been easy to find friends there. Our new community was different. It seemed that family
roots grew deep, deep as the Mississippi River that flowed past the tiny river town.
We"d moved to decrease my husband"s distance to work. Only thirty miles.
After living there for six months, I was ready to move back home. I was lonely without a friend. My
three boys were lonely. My husband, Lonny, seemed okay, but he spent his days at work.
Lonny noticed my sinking disposition.
"Shawnelle, you look unapproachable," he said. He and I were sitting in lawn chairs. Samuel, our
three-year-old son sat in his own little chair.
"What do you mean?" "Body language. You placed our chairs fifteen yards away from everyone
else."
"It doesn"t matter. I"m not going to have friends here." Just then Samuel looked up. "Mom"s right,
Dad. And we just want to go home."
That"s when I knew that I needed an adjustment. I didn"t want my boys to learn that the way to work
through a tough time was to use a wounded and bitter attitude.
Over the next few months I smiled when I didn"t feel like it. We signed up for reading programs at the
library and often visited parks and the bike path along the river.
One afternoon Samuel and I climbed up the stairs to the library activity room. A woman who I hadn"t
seen before sat at a long table with a tiny boy.
"Hi," she said. "I"m Tammy. Do you need a seat? There"s one right here."
I sat down next to Tammy. Soon class was over, and we still had a lot to say. "Why don"t you come
over later?" Tammy asked. "I live on a farm. There"s plenty of room for the kids to run." We went. And
since that day, we"ve been back a million times.
When I look back, I"m grateful for that tough time. I learned to persevere. I"m glad I didn"t give up.
And as for my boys, they learned a lesson too. "Keep moving forward," is what I tell them. "Your
heart will follow." |

When 47-year-old volunteer Susan Boyle stepped on to the stage of Britain"s Got Talent and
announced she was unemployed, had never been married and "never been kissed, actually", few in the
audience would have wondered why. This Ms. Boyle, looking unfashionable, from a village in Scotland,
shocked the three judges and the audience with the song "I Dreamed a Dream" from the musical Les
Miserables on a show of Britain"s Got Talent, one of the hottest reality shows in Britain.
She couldn"t hide the awkwardness when walking to the center of the stage in a housedress, and
everyone-including the judges-seemed laughing at her when she said she wanted to be as successful as
Elaine Paige. As soon as she began singing, however, everyone present fell silent, then rose within
seconds to applaud her incredible voice as the celebrity (名人) judges sat open-mouthed, and remained
standing to the end.
After her performance, one of the judges Piers Morgan said, "Without doubt that was the biggest
surprise I"ve had in three years of this show. When you stood there everyone was laughing at you. No
one is laughing now. That was amazing." Actress Amanda Holden followed, "I am so thrilled because I
know that everybody was against you. I honestly think that we were all being cynical (愤世嫉俗的) and
I think that"s the biggest wake-up call ever."
Susan obviously won over the hearts of millions around the world with sensation spreading across the
Atlantic. Hollywood actors Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore-who between them have nearly 1.5 million
followers-speak highly of her. Kutcher posted a link to the video clip (片段). The Scottish talent made
her first live American appearance via satellite connection on CBS"s The Early Show, doing an interview
and singing live from her room. And she already accepted an invitation from talk show host Oprah
Winfrey.
Now Boyle has become one of the world"s hottest celebrities. The video clip of her performance has
been viewed more than 50 million times on YouTube, becoming a hit on the Internet. Not long ago she
came to China and was warmly welcomed. |
