| Koeler took special notice of the tall woman who was nicely dressed, but she was wearing ugly, thick-soled (厚底) shoes. Now the woman was taken to a room for questioning. There it was found that the soles of the shoes were hollow (中空的). They were opened. Some diamonds fell out on the floor. Their total weight was 3377 carats (克拉). The young woman broke down in tears. Then she told her story. For years she had dreamed of coming to live in America, she said. At last she had managed to get the papers she needed to come to the U.S. Then a strange man called on her. He said he would pay for her trip and give her one hundred dollars. All she had to do was to smuggle the diamonds past the U.S. Customs (海关). The man gave her the shoes and also bought her a plane ticket. Just before she got on the plane, he gave her an envelope. He said that it was the hundred dollars he had promised. The weeping woman handed the envelope to Koeler. He tore it open. There was only eighteen dollars. She was cheated. In the end the woman was trialed and sentenced to eighteen months in prison for her part in the smuggling. | |||||||||||||||||

| Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers advised, "Barbara, be enthusiastic (热情的)! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience. " How right they were! "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. "wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson．It is the paste that helps you hang on there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, "I can do it!" when others shout, "No, you can’t!” It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn’t stop working on her experiments．Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping. We are all born with wide-eye, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers, his stooped (弯曲的)shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. As author and poet Samuel Ulman once wrote, "Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.” Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power. Patricia Mcllrath, retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, "My father, a lawyer, long ago told me, ‘I never made a dime until I stopped working for money.’" If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended periods of depression that had trouble her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, "I am tempted to call Layton a genius." We can’t afford to waste tears on "might-have-beens". We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after "what-can-be". We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our senses-finding pleasure in the sweet smell of a back-yard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, the beauty of a rainbow. | |||||||||||||||||
