I was their last child to move away from home, and I think they often miss having everyone together in one place. I can certainly understand their point. They still live in Birmingham, but I now live in London and my sister is attending university in Oxford. To make matters worse, my older brother recently moved to Spain for a job.Of course, we all keep in touch through email and over the phone. My brother even keeps a daily blog! However, it's not the same as being together, and sharing important news over email is completely different from telling someone that news face to face. We do our best to touch base with each other at least every other day, but we're all busy and sometimes we forget.The holidays are my favourite time of the year because it's when we all come together at our old house. With everyone together and in one place, it feels just like old times. I really enjoy spending time with my brother and sister and I know my parents really appreciate having all the kids under one roof again.My parents don't have Internet access at their house and my mother has arule that we all must switch off our mobile phones while we're there. If we want to make a call, we must go outside! It may sound harsh, but it really helps to bring all of us together. It's easy to forget how important and special personal connections can be. I think that modern technology, for all of its allure, interferes with the development of genuine relationships.41. With which of the following statements would theauthor probably agree?A. Email is a great substitute for personalconversations.B. Keeping a daily blog is a great way to keepin touch with friends and family.C. Face-to-face conversation is the best formof communication.D. The best way to share news with someone isover the phone.42. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Parents enjoy having their family togetherin one place.B. There is a difference between sharing newsthrough email and face to face.C. The holidays are the best time of the year.D. Genuine relationships are best developedthrough personal communication.43. Where would this passage likely appear?A. In a scientific journal.B. In a personal memoir.C. In an academic paper.D. In a technical report.44. Which of the following best describes "under one roof"(Para. 3, Line 3)?A. In the same house.B. Safe from danger.C. Out of the weather.D. In the same country.45. Why does the author like the holidays so much?A. He likes to eat home-cooked meals.B. He likes to have free time to surf the Internet.C. He likes to spend time with his family.D.

QuoteBan Ki-Moon: Speaking at the "Light for Rights" on World AIDS Day held at the Washington Square Park Memorial Arch in New York, he said: "We are here tonight to denounce the discrimination they (people living with HIV/AIDS) face —the fear and stigma, the shame and rejection, the threat of losing their jobs ... For too long and in too many places, too many people have been pushed beyond the reach of prevention and treatment, care and support ... We must respond by shining the full light of human rights on the challenge ... I call on all countries to dismantle legal frameworks that institutionalize discrimination against people living with HIV and people are at most risk of infection."2. AIDS：Acquired Immune Deficiency SyndromeAIDS, a very serious illness which spreads very fast today, had been one of the most horrible killers of human beings.AIDS is caused by HIV virus. Now in the world there is no useful medicine that can cure AIDS, but it spreads only in limited ways. AIDS spread in three basic ways: first, through sexual intercourse; second, through contact with diseased blood; and third from an HIV mother to baby. And people who areintravenous drug users may infect HIV virus too.The actual patterns of spreading of the AIDS virus change from culture. People should do something to solve the problem and prevent the spreading of AIDS in the world. People can do something in these ways: first, a program should be established to educate citizens about AIDS, letting people know what causes it and how it spreads, so that people can know it clearly and prevent it easily, instead of being afraid of it; second, increase scientific technology to fightagainst AIDS; third, make healthy and civilized social environment, so there will be less sexual intercourse actions, and less drug users.Although AIDS is very horrible, we shouldn't fear, worry or have prejudices about it, we should confront it and fight against this devil.III. Audiovisual supplementsWatch a video clip and answer the following questions.1. What is the librarian trying to do?2. Why does the man sitting in front of Andrew leave the desk?Answers to the Questions:1. He is trying to persuade Andrew into using the private research room.2.

Thank you.Librarian: (sigh) Wouldn’t you be more comfortable in the research room?Andrew: (cough) No. Would it make you more comfortable?Joe:Oh … Er … Beckett, how are you doing?Andrew: Counselor… huh.Librarian: Whatever, Sir.Figurant: Excuse me.Section Two Global ReadingI.

Structural analysis1.How is this narrative story organized?The narrative is organized in the chronological order with the activities and events related in the true story.2. Work out the structure of the text by completing the table.Paragraph(s) Main idea1 This paragraph gives the instructive message of the story, and makes clearthe specific date when AIDS became known to the writer.2-4 This part provides an account of how the writer came to know the fact that his friend was suffering from AIDS, how he felt,what attitude he adopted,and how others responded to it.5-7 This part tells us that the writer maintained an active and positive attitude towards his friend.8 This paragraph mentions the specific date that marked the end of David’slife, describes the writer’s feelings towards David’s death, and tells us howthe writer keeps his friend’s memory alive.Section Three Detailed ReadingText IDealing with AIDS1.Dealing with AIDS strengthens the bond of friendship, encourages emotional andmature growth. Before the sixteenth of October 1995, I was the most carefree person in the world. I had no worries and was just living life up. I never thought that anything could happen to me or my friends. We were invincible. That is, until the word AIDS came into my life.2.For 10 years David and I were the best of friends. Then we got to high school and thingsstarted to change. We were in different classes, so we didn’t hang out as much. It bothered me but I thought that we were both just growing up, and there were more friends where he came from. Then I began to notice that he wasn’t in school a lot, and was sick more than usual. So I called him and he hung up on me. I didn’t know what to do, so once again I blew it off. Then one day I saw David in the mall and I confront ed him as to why we were not friends any more. He pulled me aside and broke down in tears and said that he was dying. I didn’t believe him.Sure, I had heard about AIDS, but hat it was a homosexual disease and it didn’t affect young people, so I said that it was a sick joke and left.3.When I got home things started to make sense. I ran to my room and cried. David wasonly 17; he couldn’t die. Then I felt so bad that we had grown so far apart. I called David, asking him to come over so we could talk. When he came over I saw a seriousness in him that I had never seen before. He looked so old, too old for his age. I asked how it happened.David had had unprotected sex once and now had to pay with his life. I was so angry. I have never felt so powerless in my whole life. When things had gone wrong before this, I could always rely on my parents to make things better. There was nothing that they could do this time. I had to handle it all on my own.4.David and I became very close again, and it seemed that I was the only one there forhim. David made the decision to tell people about his disease. There was no use in hiding it;sooner or later people would find out. People looked at him as if he had a plague, and our friends from school wanted nothing to do with him. Soon after that they wanted nothing to do with me. Al l of a sudden I felt that I had the disease. I didn’t know what to do. My whole life was changing so fast that I couldn’t keep up. Once again I was growing up and realized that our friendship meant everything to me. Also, I couldn’t turn my back on him when he needed me the most. So I stuck it out and lost most of my friends. The ones that still talked with me didn’t come too close in fear that they would catch the disease.The thing was, I didn’t even have AIDS, so why did my friends treat me like this? I was being treated this way because teenagers are not used to dealing with situations like this, and don’t know how to react. So how could I blame them since I would have done the same thing?5.As time went on, David became very ill. There was nothing that I could do but watchhim die. David found out that he had full-blown AIDS. This to me meant death was sure to come and all too quickly. I wasn’t ready to let him die, not yet anyway. There were so many things that I wanted to do and say, but couldn’t find the words.I went to doctor after doctor with him, and saw him go through so much. Everyone said that I must keep a positive attitude for his sake, because attitude means everything. So, in times of stress I was the one that had to keep things together. I pushed all my emotions aside and was strong for him.6.My mom had had a trip planned for the whole family for some time now, and stillwanted to go. She thought that the trip would do me good; she said that I was not the one that was dying. I couldn’t beli eve that sh e said that to me, but to make her happy I went. We were gone for about two weeks, and when I came back the first thing I did was go to see David.That was when I saw AIDS for the first time. I didn’t even recognize him. David had lost weight, had purple l esions all over his body, and was very pale. He couldn’t even get up when he saw me. He was bedridden. I still had to be the strong one and keep everything in. I had brought him stuff from the ocean, his favorite place. We talked about my trip and anything else we could think of. Then he fell asleep because he could no longerstay awake for long periods of time.7.On the second of May 1996, David was put in hospital. This gave him the feeling thatthere was no more hope left, and that he was going to die. I still had to maintain my positive outlook for him. He needed that in me. One day he looked at me and said, ―Faye, I am dying;let’s accept that and deal with it. I know what I did was wrong and now I have to deal with it.All I want you to do is to reme mber me, enjoy life and be careful.‖ For the first time in front of him, I cried. I knew that it wouldn’t be long before he was gone forever. He shouldn’t have to deal with this at such a young age. Towards the end of May he became so sick that the hospital staff had a bubble around him, so he wouldn’t catch our bad germs. I hated to see him like that, and every day it became worse. I had come to realize that any day now he would die. At night I would wonder if he would make it through. School was over now, so I spent every hour I could in the hospital. He was everything to me. I felt bad for the time that we had lost and how I wasn’t even going to fight for our friendship.8.The fifth of June, 1996 marked the end of my best friend David’s life. He wentpeacefully. That was a comfort all in its own. In a way I was glad that it was over, for he was no longer in pain. All the emotions that I had held in came rushing out as I realized that I would never see David again. His mother said that I had kept him alive and that she was grateful that I was her son’s last friend. It hasn’t been a year yet, but I have done so much since then that I am no longer that carefree teenager. I now educate people about AIDS, which to me is keeping David’s memory alive. Eventhoug h David is gone, he is still with me and always will be in mind and spirit.Words and ExpressionsParagraph 1Questions:1) What does the first sentence of Paragraph 1 tell us?It points out the significance of dealing with AIDS,which is the theme of the text.2) The last sentence of Paragraph 1 is a sentence fragment. It is actually part of the precedingsentence. Why does the author separate them from each other?By separating them from each other, the writer succeeds in accentuating the two parts of the sentence with more information. It is precisely for the purpose of emphasis that a sentence is divided into two or more than two parts by means of full stops.Words and Expressions1. strengthen: vt. to make something stronger or more effective, or to become stronger or more effectivee.g. The wind strengthened during the night.夜里风刮得更大了。

大学综合英语1textB课文
UNIT1Summer ReadingMichael Dorris1When I was fourteen, I earned money in the summer by cutting lawns, and within a few weeks I had built upa body of customers. I got to know people by the flowers they planted that I had to remember not to cut down, by the things they lost in the grass or stuck in the ground on purpose. I reached the point with most of t hem when I knew in advance what complaint was about to be spoken, which particular request was most im portant. (1) And I learned something about the measure of my neighbors by their preferred method of paym ent: by the job, by the month ─ or not at all.2 Mr. Ballou fell into the last category, and he always had a reason why. On one day he had no changefor a fifty, on another he was flat out of checks, on another, he was simply out when I knocked on his door. S till, except for the money part, he was a nice enough old guy, always waving or tipping his hat when he'd see me from a distance. I figured him for a thin retirement check, maybe a work-related injury that kept him fro m doing his own yard work. Sure, I kept track of the total, but I didn't worry about the amount too much. (2) Grass was grass, and the little that Mr. Ballou's property comprised didn't take long to trim.3 Then, one late afternoon in mid-July, the hottest time of the year, I was walking by his house and heopened the door, motioned me to come inside. The hall was cool, shaded, and it took my eyes a minute to a djust to the dim light.4 "I owe you," Mr. Ballou began, "but…" 5 I thought I'd save him the trouble of thinking up a new excuse. "No problem. Don't worry about it."6 "The bank made a mistake in my account," he continued, ignoring my words. "It will be cleared up in a day or two. But in the meantime I thought perhaps you could choose one or two volumes for a down pay ment."7 He gestured toward the walls and I saw that books were stacked everywhere. It was like a library, except with no order to the arrangement.8 "Take your time," Mr. Ballou encouraged. "Read, borrow, keep. Find something you like. What do you read?"9 "I don't know." And I didn't. I generally read what was in front of me, what I could get from the paperback stack at the drugstore, what I found at the library, magazines, the back of cereal boxes, comics. The id ea of consciously seeking out a special title was new to me, but, I realized, not without appeal ─ so I started to look through the piles of books.10 "You actually read all of these?" 11 "This isn't much," Mr. Ballou said. "This is nothing, just what I've kept, the ones worth looking at a second time."" 12 "Pick for me, then." 13 He raised his eyebrows, cocked his head, and regarded me as though measuring me for a suit. After a moment, he nodded, searched through a stack, and handed me a dark redhardbound book, fairly thick.14 "The Last of the Just," I read. "By Andre Schwarz-Bart. What's it about?" 16 I started after supper, sitting outdoors on an uncomfortable kitchen chair. (3) Within a few pages, the yard, the summer, disa ppeared, and I was plunged into the aching tragedy of the Holocaust, the extraordinary clash of good, repres ented by one decent man, and evil. Translated from French, the language was elegant, simple, impossible to resist. When the evening light finally failed I moved inside, read all through the night.- 6 - 17 To this day, thirty years later, I vividly remember the experience. It was my first voluntary enco unter with world literature, and I was stunned by the concentrated power a novel could contain. I lacked the vocabulary, however, to translate my feelings into words, so the next week, when Mr. Ballou asked, "Well?" Ionly replied, "It was good."18 "Keep it, then," he said. "Shall I suggest another?" 19 I nodded, and was presented with thepaperback edition of Margaret Mead's Coming of Age in Samoa.20 To make two long stories short, Mr. Ballou never paid me a cent for cutting his grass that year or the next, but for fifteen years I taught anthropology at Dartmouth College. (4) Summer reading was not the innocent entertainment I had assumed it to be, not a light-hearted, instantly forgettable escape in a hammock (t hough I have since enjoyed many of those, too). A book, if it arrives before you at the right moment, in the p roper season, at an interval in the daily business of things, will change the course of all that follows.UNIT2Never Let a Friend DownJim Hutchison1 "Coming to the football match this afternoon?" Bill McIntosh asked 59-year-old Royce Wedding as they drank beer at the Eureka Hotel in the Australian town of Rainbow. Royce shook his head. "I promised Mo m I'd burn off the weeds on one of our fields."2Bill, who was thin but strong, looking far less than his 79 years, peered outside at the heat. A light breeze wa s blowing from the north, making conditions perfect for the burn. But Bill felt uneasy about Royce doing the j ob alone. The farmer had a bad leg and walked with great difficulty. 3 The pair had been best of friends fo r 30 years, ever since the days when they traveled together from farm to farm in search of work. Now, living alone 12 miles east of town, Bill scraped a living hunting foxes and rabbits. Once a fortnight he went to town to buy supplies and catch up with Royce, who helped run the Wedding family's farm. "I'll give you a hand," Bi ll said.3The pair set off in Royce's car. Soon they were bumping over a sandy track to the weed-choked 120-acre field . "Fire's the only way to get rid of this stuff," said Bill as they tied an old tire to the tow bar with a 50-foot cha in. Soaking the tire with gasoline, Bill put a match to it and jumped in the car.4 5 Driving slowly from the southern edge of the field, they worked their way upwind, leaving a line of burning weeds in their wake. Half way up the field, and without warning, the car pitched violently forward, plowinginto a hidden bank of sand.6 The breeze suddenly swung around to their backs and began to gather strength. Fanned to white heat, the fire line suddenly burst into a wall of flame, heading directly toward them. "Let's get out of here!" Roy ce said.7 Desperately he tried to back the car out of the sand bank. But the wheels only spun deeper in the soft sand.8 Suddenly the fire was on them. Bill pushed open his door only to find himself flung through the air as, with a roar, the gasoline tank exploded and the car leapt three feet off the ground. When it crashed back d own Royce found himself pinned against the steering wheel, unable to move. The car's seats and roof were n ow on fire.9 Bill lay where he fell, all the breath knocked out of him. The front of his shirt, shorts, bare arms and legs were soaked in burning gasoline. Then the sight of the car in flames brought him upright with a start. "Royce!" he cried, struggling to his feet and heading for the car.10 Pulling open the door, he seized Royce's arms through the smoke. "I'm stuck," Royce said. "Get yourself away!"11 (1) The fire bit at Bill's arms, face and legs, but he tightened his grip on Royce. "I'm not leaving you here," he said.12 Now Bill dug his heels into the sand and pulled as hard as he could. Suddenly he fell backward. Royce was free and out of the car. As soon as he had dragged him away he patted out the flames on Royce's b ody and on his own legs and arms with his bare hands.13 Royce saw a second explosion rock the car, as it was eaten up by flames. I'd be ashes now if Bill hadn't gotten me out, he thought. Looking down, Royce was shocked by the extent of his injuries. His stomach a nd left hip were covered in deep burns. Worse still, his fingers were burned completely out of shape.14 Lying on his back, Bill was in equally bad shape. Pieces of blackened flesh and skin hung from his forearms, hands and legs.15 Bill looked across at his friend. Reading the despair clouding Royce's face, Bill said, "I'll get help. You hang on." Royce nodded, but as he watched Bill set off slowly across the blackened field, he wondered how his fri end was going to walk almost two miles and get over three fences.16 (2) A lifetime spent around the tough people who make their home in the Australian bush had permanently fixed into Bill's soul two principles: never give up no matter how bad the odds and never let a friend down. Now, with every step sending pain piercing through every part of his body, he drew on those twin pillars of character.(3) If I don't make it, Royce will die out there, he told himself over and over.17 "What's the matter with that dog?" said Vicky Wedding, Royce's mom, peering out her window. Startled by a noise behind her, she turned to see Bill leaning against the door.18 "Dear God, what happened?" she exclaimed, grabbing Bill as he slid down the doorframe.19 "We got caught in the fire," he whispered, barely able to speak. "Get help." Vicky sat Bill down, covered him in wet towels to ease the pain of his burns, and then picked up the phone.20 Throughout the bumpy, hour-and-a-half ride to the hospital in Horsham, neither of the two injuredmen spoke of their pain. "We should've gone to the football match," Royce said, trying to keep their spirits u p. Bill grinned weakly.21 Not long after Bill found himself at Government House being presented with the Bravery Medal forhis courageous rescue. (4) But the real highlight for Bill came six months after the fire, when Royce, just out of hospital, walked into the Eureka Hotel and bought him a beer.22 "We made it," said Royce as they raised their glasses. "Here's to the best friend a man could have."UNIT31 New Drugs Kill Cancer2 Devastation by El Niño ─ a Warning3 6:30 p.m. October 26, 2028: Could This Be the Deadline for the Apocalypse?5When these headlines appeared this year, their stories became the subjects of conversations around the wor ld ─ talks spiced with optimism and confusion. Imagine the hopes raised in the millions battling cancer. Did t he news mean these people never had to worry about cancer again? Or that we all had to worry about a cat astrophe from outer space or, more immediately, from El Niño?6 5 Unfortunately, science doesn't work that way. It rarely arrives at final answers. People battling cancer or victims of El Niño may find this frustrating, but the truth is that Nature does not yield her secrets easily. Science is done step by step. First an idea is formed. Then this is tested by an experiment. The outcome, one hopes, results in an increase in knowledge.6 Science is not a set of unquestionable results but a way of understanding the world around us. Its real work is slow. (1) The scientific method, as many of us learned in school, is a gradual process that begins wi th a purpose or a problem or question to be answered. It includes a list of materials, a procedure to follow, a set of observations to make and, finally, conclusions to reach. In medicine, when a new drug is proposed that might cure or control a disease, it is first tested on a large random group of people, and their reactions are then compared with those of another random group not given the drug. All reactions in both groups are caref ully recorded and compared, and the drug is evaluated. All of this takes time ─ and patience.7 It's the result of course, that makes the best news ─ not the years of quiet work that characterize the bulk of scientific inquiry. After an experiment is concluded or an observation is made, the result continues t o be examined critically. When it is submitted for publication, it goes to a group of the scientist's colleagues, who review the work. If the work is important enough, just before the report is published in a professional jo urnal or read at a conference, a press release is issued and an announcement is made to the world.8 The world may think that the announcement signifies the end of the process, but it doesn't. A publi cation is really a challenge: "Here is my result. Prove me wrong!" (2) Other researchers will try to repeat the experiment, and the more often it works, the better the chances that the result is sound. Einstein was right when he said: "No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can at any time prove me wrong."9 In August 1996, NASA announced the discovery in Antarctica of a meteorite from Mars that might co ntain evidence of ancient life on another world. (3)As President Clinton said that day, the possibility that life existed on Mars billions of years ago was potentially one of the great discoveries of our time.10 After the excitement wore down and initial papers were published, other researchers began looking at samples from the same meteorite. (4) Some concluded that the "evidence of life" was mostly contamina tion from Antarctic ice or that there was nothing organic at all in the rock.11 Was this a failure of science, as some news reports trumpeted?12 No! It was a good example of the scientific method working the way it is supposed to. Scientists sp end years on research, announce their findings, and these findings are examined by other scientists. That's h ow we learn. Like climbing a mountain, we struggle up three feet and fall back two. It's a process filled with d isappointments and reverses, but somehow we keep moving ahead.UNIT4Ben Carson: Man of MiraclesChristopher Phillips1 Ben Carson looked out at Detroit's Southwestern High School class of 1988. It was graduation day. A t 36, Carson was a leading brain surgeon, performing delicate and lifesaving operations. But 19 years before, he had graduated from this same inner-city school. He remembered it all ─ the depressing surroundings of one of Detroit's toughest, poorest neighborhoods. And he knew the sense of hopelessness and despair that many of these 260 students were feeling about the future.2 (1) For weeks he had worried over how to convince the graduates that they, too, could succeed agai nst seemingly impossible odds, that they could move mountains. Now, standing to deliver the main address, he held up his hands. "See these?"he asked the students. "I didn't always use them for surgery. When I was a little younger than you are, I often waved a knife with them to threaten people. And I even tried to kill some body."3 The students stared in disbelief.4 Ben and his older brother, Curtis, grew up in a crowded apartment building near the school. Their m other, Sonya, who had married at age 13 and divorced when Ben was eight, worked at two and sometimes th ree low-paying jobs at a time. She wanted a better life for her two sons and showered them with encourage ment. However, both boys started badly in school, especially Ben.5 Sonya recognized that Ben was bright. He just didn't seem motivated. "From now on,"she announced one afternoon, "you can watch only two TV shows a week. You have to read at least two books every week and give me reports so I know you really read them."6 At first Ben hated reading. Then, gradually, he discovered a new world of possibility. (2) Before long he was reading more books than his determined mother required, and he couldn't wait to share them with her.7 His mother studied the book reports closely. "That's a fine job, Bennie," she would tell her beamingson. What she didn't tell Ben or Curtis was that, with only a third-grade education, she couldn't read. 7"Mom," Ben announced one day, "When I grow up, I want to be a doctor."9 Sonya Carson smiled, knowing Ben must have just read a book on doctors. "You can be anything you wantto be," she assured him.10 With a goal now, young Ben soared from the bottom of his class toward the top. His teachers wereastonished. There was one thing, however, that Ben couldn't seem to conquer: his violent temper. (3) He boil ed with anger ─ anger at his departed father, anger at the hardships his mother faced, anger at all the wasted lives he saw around him.11 Then one afternoon, walking home from school, 14-year-old Ben started arguing with a friend. Pulling a camping knife, Ben thrust at the boy. The steel blade struck the youngster's metal belt buckle, and the b lade snapped. Ben's friend fled.12 Ben stood stone-still. "I almost killed someone!" he said quietly. There and then he made a decision. If he was ever going to fulfill his dream of becoming a doctor and save others, he was first going to have to cure himself. Never again would he let his anger run away with him.13 In 1969 Ben graduated third in his class from Southwestern High and received a full scholarship to Yale. After Yale he obtained grants to study at the University of Michigan Medical School. This was the start ofa career that was to lead him, at age 33, to be appointed senior brain surgeon at Johns Hopkins hospital. From around the world, other surgeons came to seek his counsel.14 In April 1987 a German doctor arrived with the records of Siamese twins, newborns Patrick and Benjamin Binder. The boys had separate brains, but at the back of the heads, where they were joined, they shar ed blood vessels. Their mother refused to sacrifice either child to save the other. Surgeons knew of no other way to proceed. In many cases, when Siamese twins are separated at the back of the head, one child survive s and the other either dies or suffers severe mental injury.15 Carson came up with a plan to give both twins the best chance of survival: stop their hearts, drain their blood supply completely and restore circulation only after the two were safely separated.16 The entire operation took 22 hours and required a 70-person team. After the twins' hearts were stopped and their blood drained, Carson had only one hour to separate the damaged blood vessels. He worked smoothly and quickly, easing his instruments deep into the brains of the two infants. Twenty minutes afterstopping the twins' circulation, he made the final cut. Now, working with his team, he had 40 minutes to rec onstruct the blood vessels that had been cut open and close Patrick's head. Another team would do the same for Benjamin.17 Just within the hour limit, the babies were fully separated, and the operating tables were wheeledapart.18 Tired but happy, Dr. Carson went out to the waiting room. "Which one of your children would you like to see first?" he asked their mother.19 The students of Detroit's Southwestern High sat silently as Ben Carson described his life's journey from an angry street fighter to an internationally distinguished brain surgeon. "It's important that you know th ere are many ways to go," Dr. Carson told them. "Becoming a brain surgeon is perfectly possible. But you don 't have to be a surgeon. There are opportunities everywhere. You just have to be willing to take advantage of them. (4) Think big! Nobody was born to be a failure. If you feel you're going to succeed ─ and work your tail off ─ you will succeed!"20 Pausing, Ben Carson turned to his mother who was sitting in the front row.21 "I'd like to thank my mother," Carson said in closing, "for all the success I've had."22 Southwestern High's entire graduating class stood and clapped for a solid five minutes. Tears welled in Ben Carson's eyes.23 Afterward, Sonya Carson embraced her son fondly. "It's really true, Bennie," she said. "You can be anything you want to be. And you've done it!"UNIT5The WalletArnold Fine1 It was a year ago today when I came across a wallet in the street. (1) Inside was a letter that looked as if it had been carried around for years, dated 1924. The envelope was worn and all I could make out was t he return address. I opened the letter carefully, hoping for some clue to the identity of the owner of the wall et.2 It was signed Hannah and written to someone called Michael. She wrote that she could not see him any more because her mother forbade it. She would always love him, but felt it would be best if they never met again.3 It was a beautiful letter. (2)But there was no way, other than the name Michael, that the owner could be identified.4 The return address was nearby, so I called in. I asked if anyone there knew of a Hannah, and was tol d, "Oh, of course! We bought this house from her some time ago. She's in a nursing home now."5 They gave me the name of the home and I called the director. (3)I explained the situation and was in vited over, arriving to find him chatting to the door guard. We exchanged greetings and the director took me up to Hannah's room on the third floor of the large building.6 She was a sweet, silver-haired old lady with a warm smile, full of life. I told her about finding the wal let and took out the letter. The moment she saw it she recognized it. "Young man," she said, "this letter was t he last contact I had with Michael. I never heard from him again." She looked away for a moment in deep th ought and continued, "I loved him very much. I was 16 at the time and my mother felt I was much too young to even be seeing Michael. He was so handsome."7 Just then the director was called away and we were left alone. "Yes, Michael Goldstein was his name ," she began once more. "If you do find him, give him my regards and tell him I still think of him often. That... " She hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and added, "I still love him. You know..." she said, smiling through her tears, "I never did marry. I guess no one ever matched up to Michael."8 At that moment the director returned. I thanked her and said goodbye. Downstairs the guard at the front door looked at me and asked, "Any luck? Was the old lady able to help you?"9 I told him she had given me a lead." But I think I'll let this go for a while. I spent almost a whole day t rying to find the owner of this wallet."10 I took it out and showed it to the guard.11 The guard took one look and said," (4)Hey, wait a minute. That's Mr. Goldstein's wallet. I'd know th at anywhere. He's always losing it."12 "Who's Mr. Goldstein?" I pressed him as my hand started to shake.13 "He's one of the old guys on the eighth floor. That's Mike Goldstein's wallet for sure. I'll take you up to him, if you like."14 We found Mr. Goldstein in his room and the security man asked if he had lost his wallet.15 Mr. Goldstein put his hand to his back pocket and, realizing it was empty, said, "Oh, my goodness. It is missing."16 "Could this be yours?" I asked, handing him the wallet.17 The second he saw it he smiled with relief and said, "Yes... yes... that's it. Thank you so much."18 "Not at all," I replied. "But I have to tell you something. I read the letter."19 The smile on his face disappeared. "You read the letter?"20 "Not only did I read it, I know where Hannah is."21 The blood left his face as he suddenly grew pale.22 "Hannah? You know where she is? How is she? Is she still as pretty as she was?"23 The security man looked at me suggesting that I not say any more.24 I hesitated.25 "Please! Please tell me!" he begged.26 "She's fine... just as pretty as when you knew her," I said softly.27 "Could you tell me where she is?" He grabbed my hand and said, "You know something... I was so i n love with that girl that when that letter came, my life seemed to come to an end. I never married. I guess I'l l always love her. Oh, she was beautiful... and so sweet." He smiled to himself.28 "Michael," I said. "Come with me."29 The three of us took the elevator down to the third floor. Hannah was sitting alone watching televis ion.30 "Hannah," the guard said softly. "Do you know this man?" She adjusted her glasses. She looked fora moment but didn't say a word.31 "Hannah, it's Michael. Do you remember me?"32 "Michael? I don't believe it! Michael? It's you! Michael!"33 He walked slowly to her side. Michael took her around the waist and she held him tight, whispering , "Michael... my darling Michael..."34 The two of them sat down on a sofa, holding hands, and started to talk. They had some sixty years' worth to catch up on. The guard and I walked out, both of us crying.35 Three weeks later I got a call from the director: "You're invited to a wedding. Michael and Hannah a re finally going to tie the knot! You know, the two of them were in this building for years and they never met, or if they did they didn't recognize each other."36 Hannah wore a light brown dress for the wedding and looked beautiful. Michael wore a dark blue s uit and stood erect, like a soldier. The hospital gave them a special room together, and if you ever wanted to see a 79-year-old bride and an 81-year-old groom acting like two teenagers, you had to see this couple.UNIT6Do Animals Fall in Love?Jeffery Moussaieff Masson and Susan McCarthy1 Humans believe they know what love is, and value it highly. Yet many who study animal behavior are cautious about saying animals experience love, preferring to say they are not displaying "true love" but sim ply following the dictates of their genes.2 Is it really as simple as all that? What about the animals who stay together until one dies? Evolutionary bi ologists often say that pairing is a way to ensure adequate parental care, but it's not always clear this is the c ase. Some animals continue to accompany each other when not raising young. And they appear to exhibit so rrow or show a sense of loss when one of the pair dies.3 Konrad Lorenz, studying the behavior of geese, describes a typical example. Ado's mate, Susanne-Eli sabeth, was killed by a fox. He stood silently by her partly eaten body, which lay across their nest. In the follo wing days, he hung his head and his eyes became vacant. Because he did not have the heart to defend himse lf from the attacks of the other geese, his status in the flock fell sharply. A year went by. Finally Ado pulled hi mself together and found another mate.4 Animals may fall in love dramatically. According to Lorenz two geese are most likely to "fall in love" when they have known each other as youngsters, been separated and then meet again. (1) He compared this to a man who meets a woman and ─ astonished that she is the same girl he used to see running around in a school uniform ─ falls in love and marries her. According to parrot specialist Sue Athan, it is common for s ome parrots to fall in love at first sight.5 Instinct may urge animals to love, but it does not say whom they will love. Seeking a mate for a male parrot, Athan purchased a fine-feathered young female and introduced the two birds. To Athan's disappoint ment, "the male nevertheless acted like the female wasn't even in the room."6 A few months later Athan was given an older female in extremely poor condition. "She didn't have a feather from the neck down," she says. "Her feet were all twisted. She had lines around her eyes. And yet th e male thought she was the love of his life." The two birds immediately paired off and eventually produced y oung.7 (2) Zookeepers know, to their despair, that many species of animals will not breed with just any othe r animal of their species. Timmy, a gorilla in the Cleveland Zoo, declined to mate with two female gorillas intr oduced to him. But when he met a gorilla named Kate, they took to each other at once. When it was thought that Kate was unable to reproduce, because of her advanced age, zookeepers decided to send Timmy to ano ther zoo, where he might have a chance to breed successfully.8 Defending the zoo's decision to separate the animals, the zoo director said, "It sickens me when peo ple start to put human emotions in animals. We can't think of them as some kind of magnificent human bein g: they are animals. When people start saying animals have emotions, they cross the bridge of reality." Jane Goodall, whose work has shed light on the emotional life of chimpanzees, also writes, (3) I cannot think of ch impanzees developing emotions, one for the other, comparable in any way to the tenderness, protectiveness , tolerance and spiritual joy that are the mark of human love in its truest and deepest sense."9 Yet there is evidence of love in the devotion that members of pairs heap on each other. Geese, swan s and mandarin ducks are all symbols of marital faithfulness; field biologists tell us this is true to life. Coyotes , often thought of as representing trickery, would make equally good symbols of devotion, since they also for m lasting pairs. Observations indicate that they begin to form pair attachments before they are sexually active.10 In his study of coyotes, Hope Ryden tells how pairs can be observed curling up together, hunting mi ce together, and greeting each other with elaborate displays. Ryden describes two coyotes mating. Afterwar d, the female tapped the male with her paw and licked his face. Then they curled up to sleep. This looks a lot like romantic love. Whatever distinctions may be made between the love of two people and the love of two animals, the essence frequently seems the same.11 An animal raised by another species will often show affection for a member of that species when i t grows up. Gavin Maxwell tells of an otter called Tibby, who was raised by a man who lived on an island off t he coast of Scotland and who got around with the help of a walking stick. When he became seriously ill, he t ook Tibby to Maxwell and asked him to look after the otter. The man died not long after.12 Tibby made a habit of escaping and visiting the nearest village. There she found a man who used a walking stick. She tried to build a nest under his house, but he chased her away.。

Tony Trivisonno did not rise yet he manage d to make his own dream come true.TONY TRIVISONNO'S AMERICAN DREAMFrederick C. CrawfordHe came from a rocky farm in Italy, somewhere south of Rome. How or when he got to America, I don't know. But one evening I found him standing in the driveway, behind my garage. Hethin."I mow your lawn," he said. It was hard to comprehend his broken English.I asked him his name. "Tony Trivisonno," he replied. "I mow your lawn." I told Tony that I couldn't afford a gardener."I mow your lawn," he said again, then walked away. I went into my house unhappy. Yes, these Depression days were difficult,but how could I turn away a person whoWhen I got home from work the next evening, the lawn had been mowed, the garden weed ed, and the walk s swept. I asked my wife what had happened."A man got the lawn mower out of the garage and worked on the yard," she answered. "I assume d you had hire d him."I told her of my experience the night before. We thought it strange that he had not asked for pay.The next two days were busy, and Itrying to rebuild our business and bring some of our workers back to the plant s. But on Friday, returning home a little early, I saw Tony again, behind the garage. I compliment ed him on the work he had done."I mow your lawn," he said.I managed to work out some kind of small weekly pay, and each day Tony cleaned up the yard and took care of any little task s. My wife said he was very helpful whenever there were any heavy object s to lift or things to fix.pretty soon," Tony told me one evening. "When winter come, you give me job clearing snow at the factory."Well, what do you do with such determination and hope? Of course, Tony got his job at the factory.The months passed. I asked the personnel department for a report. They said Tony was a very good worker.One day I found Tony at our meeting place behind the garage. "I want to be 'prentice," he said.We had a pretty good apprentice school that train ed laborer s. But I doubt ed whether Tony had the capacity to read blueprint s and micrometer s or do precision work. Still, how could I turn him down?Tony took a cut in pay to become an apprentice. Months later, I got a report that he had graduate d as a skilled grinder. He hadlearned to read the millionth s of an inch on the micrometer and to shape the grinding wheel with an instrument set with adiamond. My wife and I were delightedA year or two passed, and again I found Tony in his usual waiting place. We talked about his work, and I asked him what"Mr. Craw," he said, "I like a buy a house." On the edge of town, he had found a house for sale, a complete wreck.I called on a banker friend. "Do you ever loan money oncharacter?" I asked. "No," he said. "We can't"Now, wait a minute," I replied. "Here is a hard-working man, a man of character, I can promise you that. He's got a good job.will stay there for years. At least he will pay your interest."Reluctantly, the banker wrote a mortgage for $2,000 and gave Tony the house with no down payment. Tony was delighted. From then on, it was interesting to see that any discard ed odds and ends around our place — a broken screen, a bit of hardware, board s from packing— Tony would gather and take home.He seemed to stand a little straight er. He was heavier. He had a look of confidence."Mr. Craw, I sell my house!" he said with pride. "I got $8,000."I was amaze d. "But, Tony, where are you going to live without a house?""Mr. Craw, I buy a farm."the tomato es and pepper s and all the other vegetable s important to his Italian diet. He had sent for his wife and son and daughter back in Italy. He had hunt ed around the edge of town until he found a small, abandon ed piece of property with a house and shed.
