They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.The Self Immediately following the birth of a big dream, a negative self-talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen. This inside voice is the ego（自我）. It’s there for protecting and should be listened to. 72 Most people are influenced by the inside voice. That’s why only a handful of people make their dream come true.73Family and friends are a lot like the ego. They want to protect those they love,so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams won’t come true. Sometimes, family and friends destroy dreams of those they love most, out of their own fear of being left behind.The World If one gets past the first two barriers, one has to face the world.74 In the past, big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world.

Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart, was born in Kingfish, Oklahoma on March 29, 1918. He was raised in Missouri where he worked in his father’s store while attending school. This was his first retailing (零售业) experience and he really enjoyed it. After graduation, he began his own career as a retail merchant.He soon opened his first Wal-Mart store in 1962 in Rogers, Arkansas. Wal-Mart specialized in name brands at low prices and Sam Walton was surprised at the success. Soon a chain of Wal-Mart stores sprang up across rural America.Walton's management style was popular with employees and he founded some of the basic concepts of management that are still in use today.After taking the company public in 1970, Walton introduced his “profit sharing plan”. The p rofit sharing plan was a plan for Wal-Mart employees to improve their income dependent on the profits of the store. Sam Walton believed that “individuals don't win, teams do”. Employees at Wal-Mart stores were offered stock options (认股权) and store discounts. These benefits are commonplace today, but Walton was among the first to implement (实现) them. Walton believed that a happy employee meant happy customers and more sales. He also believed that by giving employees a part of the company and making their suc cess dependent on the company’s success, they would care about the company.By the 1980s, Wal-Mart had sales of over one billion dollars and over three hundred stores across North America. Wal-Mart’s unique decentralized (分散的) distribution system, also Wal ton’s idea, created the edge needed to further encourage growth in the 1980s during growing complaints that the “superstore” was stopping smaller and traditional stores from developing. By 1991, Wal-Mart was the largest US retailer with 1,700 stores. Walton remained active in managing the company, as president and CEO until 1988 and chairman until his death.

One evening I heard a loud crash in the street. Earlier that evening my wife had asked me to go to the store to get some soft drinks. It seemed like this would be a good time to let my teenager daughter Holly practice her driving.At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my truck. I enjoyedhaving it, but I said, “Guy, my heart is not set on that truck. I likeit but it is just metal and won’t last forever. Never set your hearton anything that won’t last.”After hearing the loud noise, the whole family ran outside. My sonshouted, “Dad! Dad, Holly crashed your truck.”My heart sank and my mind was flooded with conflicting thoughts. Was anyone hurt? Who else was involved? As I ran to the door, I heard a voice in my heart say, “Here is a chance to show Holly what you really love. She’ll never forget it.”The accident had occurred in my own driveway. Holly had crashed my truck into our other vehicle, the family van (搬运车). In her inexperience, she had confused the brakes and the gas pedal. Holly was unhurt physically, but when I reached her, she was crying and saying, “Oh, Dad, I’m sorry. I know how much you love this truck.”I held her in my arms as she cried.Later that week a friend stopped by and asked what had happened to my truck. I told her the story. Her eyes moistened(湿润) and she said, “That happened to me when I was a girl. I borrowed my dad’s car and ran into a log that had fallen across the road. I ruined the car. When I got home my Dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me.” Over 40 years later, she still felt the pain of that night. It was a deep wound on her soul.I remember how sad Holly was the night and how I comforted her. One day, when Holly thinks back on her life, I want her to know that I love her a thousand times more than any piece of property. I repaired the van, but the dent (凹痕) in my truck is still there today. Every day it reminds me of what really matters in my life. 【小题1】Why did the father permit his daughter to drive his truck?

Curious observation and asking a question “Why or When, How or Where” regarding a phenomenon forms the first step of scientific method. To understand the problem clearly and come up with the “specific” question, you may need to consider, observe carefully, and use your reasoning skills. For this you may have to research, gather observable and measurable data according to your principles of reasoning. The way you look at a problem or a phenomenon, understand and approach it by asking the right question has a high probability of leading you to the correct solution.After you’ve made your observation and asked a question, conduct your research to gather information about the subject. To answer the question, the library and the Internet must be used to collect information. Also, explore and focus on the research work that has been carried out. Also, the process of researching must be impartial (公正的) for a fair interpretation of the results. All the data and methods must bedocumented and shared properly. This enables the data to be carefully studied by other researchers.A hypothesis (假设) is a possible theory that is formed after observing and analyzing a certain phenomenon and can provide a probable answer to the problem. Every scientific experiment is based on a hypothesis which gives you an idea to approach the problem and conduct the related experiment. Researchers sticking to the scientific method employ hypotheses to explain various phenomena and also design experimental studies to test these hypotheses.As stated earlier, a hypothesis is a theory that isn’t yet proved, and to prove it experiments must be conducted. The experiment proves the authenticity (真实性) of the hypothesis according to the information and evidences gathered while doing research on the subject. Care must be taken that the experiment is a fair test, and it must be repeated for the same and different set of values. The experiment will either confirm or rule out your theory. However, if it doesn’t support the hypothesis, it must be rejected or modified.Once your experiment is completed, you need to analyze the data to check whether your hypothesis is true or false. If the hypothesis isn’t in accordance with the facts, you’ll have to form a new hypothesis and begin the steps of the scientific method all over again. If the hypothesis turns out to be true, it is necessary to check it again by using a new approach. In addition, the results of the experiment and the hypothesis must be conveyed to others through a display board or by publishing a final report. When others perform the same experiment and get the same results, the hypothesis becomes rock-solid.【答案】1. understanding 2. data 3. Devote 4. Form 5.
