A
Our neighbour’s son was getting married at an out-of-
town church, and my husband and I were invited. We immedi ately rushed out to a store, and I bought a nice pink dress wit h a jacket. The dress was a little tight, but I had a month to go before the June 30 wedding and I would lose a few pounds. June 29 came and, of course, I hadn’t lost a single pound; in f act I had gained two. But I figured a nice new girdle (紧身内衣)would cure everything. So on our way out of the city we sto pped once again at the store. I ran in and told the clerk I need ed a large-
size girdle. The shop assistant found the box with the describ ed girdle marked "LG", and asked if I would like to try it on. “O h, no, a large will fit just right. I needn’t try it on.”
The next morning was rather hot, so I waited to get dressed u ntil about 45 minutes before time to go. I opened the box only to find a new girdle in a small size. Since it was too late to find another one and the dress wouldn’t fit right without a girdle, a fight broke out in the hotel room between me and the girdle. Have you ever tried to shake 20 pounds of potatoes into a five -pound ba
g? That’s it. Finally my husband, laughing like crazy, got hold of each side and shook me down into it. At once I put on the p ink dress, which didn’t match my red face well, and was ready to go.
Finally we got to the church. I heard one of the people say tha t they were having a High Mass. I turned to my husband and asked, "What is a High Mass?" He shrugged his shoulders. U nfortunately, I learned that this particular ma
ss would last one hour, twenty-
two minutes and eight and one half seconds—the priest (神父) was going to bless everything except my girdle.

“Keep your eyes on the ball.” That is good advice when you are on the playing field, and good advice for everyday life. “Ke ep your mind on what’s important,” is the way I’d put it. But pe ople are funny. They think too much about the details.
I had a secretary once. She was very hardworking. I ran a sch ool and people used to call up to enroll（注册，登
记） for courses. Berry used to get angry at the phone. “If the y keep on ringing, I’ll never get my typing done!”she’d shout. People just don’t see the big picture. One evening, after leavi ng work, I was sitting next to a man on the train. I was feeling tired. My eyes fell on the paper he had spread out in front of h im. You know how you feel to read over someone’s shoulder?
I read the page and leaned back. I guessed I was waiting for him to turn it. After a while, I realized—
he wasn’t turning the page. He just kept on reading.
Now if you knew the page he was reading, you’d know that th ere weren’t many words on the page to read anyway. The lay out（布局，设
计） was mostly pictures. So I turned to the man and said,” Y ou know, you really read very slowly.”
“What do you mean?” he asked. “Well,” I told him, “I read the page in about a minute, and you have taken about ten. And y ou are still reading. You know,” I went on “If you learned to re ad faster, you could get more reading done.” He remained sile nt for a minute or two. “If I read too fast, my paper wouldn’t las t me to my station.”

Tell a story and tell it well, and you may open wide the eyes of a child, open up lines of communication in a business, or eve n open people’s mind to another culture or race.
People in many places are digging up the old folk stories and the messages in them. For example, most American storytelle rs get their tales from a wide variety of sources, cultures, and times. They regard storytelling not only as a useful tool in chil d education, but also as a meaningful activity that helps adults understand themselves as well as those whose culture may b e very different from their own.
“M ost local stories are based on a larger theme（主
题）,” American storyteller Opalanga Pugh says, “Cinde rella, or the central idea of a good child protected by her good ness, appears in various forms in almost every culture of the world.”
Working with students in schools, Pugh helps them understan d their own cultures and the general messages of the stories. She works with prisoners too, helping them knowing who they are by telling stories that her listeners can write, direct, and a ct in their own lives. If they don’t like the story they are living, t
hey can rewrite the story. Pugh also works to help open up lin es of communication between managers and workers. “For ev ery advance in business,” she says, “there is a greater need f or communication”. Storytelling can have a great effect on eith er side of the manager-worker relationship, she says.
Pugh spent several years in Nigeria, where she learned how c losely storytelling was linked to the everyday life of the people there. “The benefits of storytelling are found ev erywhere,” sh e says.
“I learned how people used stories to spread their culture,” sh e says, “What I do is to focus on the value of the stories that p eople can translate into their own daily world of affairs. We ar e all storytellers. We all have a story to tell. We tell everybody’s story.”
13．What do we learn about American storyteller from Paragr aph 2?

B. They prefer to tell the stories from other cultures.
C. They learn their stories from the American natives.
D. They find storytelling useful for both children and adults. 14．The underlined sentence (Paragraph 4) suggests that pri soners can _____.
