When Nancy Lublin received $5,000 from her grandfather in 1996, she never once considered taking a vacation or paying off student loans (贷款). Instead, the 24-year-old New York University law student began thinking about helping low-income women get better jobs. "If a woman goes for a job interview (面试) poorly dressed, she won"t get the job, " Lublin says."But without a job, she can"t afford suitable clothes." So, with the money Lublin founded "Dress for Success" and began collecting women"s clothes which were still in good condition but which their owners no longer needed. "So many women have clothes lying around that they will never wear again," one of Lublin"s assistants says "Nancy"s idea is so simple and yet so important to women." Many women come to Lublin"s office before going to a job interview. Here, they receive a suit, shoes and any other things they need, Since it was set up, more than 1,000 women have turned to "Dress for Success" for help. Many of them have won job. Some have round jobs after being out of work for many years. Jenny, a 32-year-old woman who was recently hired as a law-firm office manager says, "I made a good impression (印象) because of "Dress for Success"." | |||||||||||||||

The Marches were a happy family. Poverty, hard work, and even the fact that Father March was away with the Union armies could not down the spirits of Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy, and Merimee, as the March girls called their mother. The March sisters tried to be good but had their share of faults. Pretty Meg was often displeased with the schoolchildren she taught; boyish Jo was easy to become angry; golden-haired schoolgirl Amy liked to show up; but Beth, who kept the house, was loving and gentle always. The happy days passed and darkness came when a telegram arrived for Mrs. March. "Your husband is very ill," it said, "come at once." The girls tried to be brave when their mother left for the front. They waited and prayed. Little Beth got scarlet fever (猩红热) when she was taking care of a sick neighbor. She became very ill but began to recover by the time Merimee was back. When Father came home from the front and at that joyful Christmas dinner they were once more all together. Three years later the March girls had grown into young womanhood. Meg became Mrs. Brooke, and after a few family troubles got used to her new state happily. Jo had found pleasure in her literary efforts. Amy had grown into a young lady with a talent for design and an even greater one for society. But Beth had never fully regained her health, and her family watched her with love and anxiety. Amy was asked to go and stay in Europe with a relative of the Mareches". Jo went to New York and became successful in her writing and had the satisfaction of seeing her work published there. But at home the bitterest blow was yet to fall. Beth had known for some time that she couldn"t live much longer to be with her family, and in the springtime she died. News came from Europe that Amy and Laurie, the grandson of a wealthy neighbor, had planned to be married soon. Now Jo became ever more successful in her writing and got married to Professor Bhaer, and soon afterwards founded a school for boys. And so the little women had grown up and lived happily with their children, enjoying the harvest of love and goodness that they had devoted all their lives to. | |||||||||||||||

It was the district sports meet. My foot still hadn"t healed (痊愈) from a(n) 1 injury. I had 2 whether or not I should attend the meet. But there I was, 3 for the 3,000-meter run. " Ready … set …" The gun popped and we were off. The other girls rushed 4 me. I felt 5 as I fell farther and farther behind. " Hooray!" shouted the crowd. It was the loudest 6 I had ever heard at a meet. The first-place runner was two laps (圈) ahead of me when she crossed the finish line. " Maybe I should 7 ," I thought as I moved on. 8 , I decided to keep going. During the last two laps, I ran 9 and decided not to 10 in track next year. It wouldn"t be worth it, 11 my foot did heal. When I finished, I heard a cheer- 12 than the one I"d heard earlier. I turned around and 13 , the boys were preparing for their race." They must be cheering for the boys." I was leaving 14 several girls came up to me. " Wow, you"ve got courage!" one of them told me. " Courage? I just 15 a race!" I thought. " I would have given up on the first lap," said another girl." We were cheering for you. Did you hear us?" Suddenly I regained 16 . I decided to 17 track next year.
