21世纪大学英语读写教程第二册textB剖析
4If you could come to my office in California to visit with me today, you would see that one side of the room is occupied by a beautiful old-fashioned soda fountain with nine leather-covered seats. Unusual? Yes. But if that soda fountain could speak, it would tell you a story about the day I almost lost hope and gave up.It was a recession period after World War II and jobs were scarce. My husband had purchased a small dry cleaning business with borrowed money. We had two darling babies, a tract house, a car and all the usual monthly payments. Then the bottom fell out. There was no money for the house payments or anything else.I felt that I had no special talent, no training, no college education. I didn't think much of myself. But I remembered someone in my past who had thought I had a little ability --- my high school English teacher. She had inspired me to take a course in journalism and named me advertising manager and feature editor of the school paper. I thought, "Now if I could write a 'shoppers Column' for the small weekly newspaper in our rural town, maybe I could earn that house payment."I had no car and no one to look after my two children. So I took them with me to the newspaper office, pushing them before me in an old broken-down baby stroller with a big pillow tied in the back. The wheel kept coming off, but I hit it back on with the heel of my shoe and kept going. I was determined that my children would not lose their home as I often had as a child.But at the newspaper office, there were no jobs available. Recession. So I got an idea. I asked if I might buy advertising space at wholesale and sell it at retail as a "shoppers Column." They agreed.The newspaper column idea worked. I made enough money for the house payment and to buy an old used car. Then I hired a high school girl to look after my children from three to five each afternoon. When the clock struck three, I grabbed my advertising samples and flew out of the door to drive to my appointments.But on one dark rainy afternoon every advertising prospect I had worked on turned me down when I went to pick up their ads."Why?" I asked. They said they had noticed that Ruben Ahlman, the president of the Chamber of Commerce and the owner of a big drugstore, didn't advertise with me. His store was the most popular intown. They respected his judgment. "There must be something wrong with your advertising," they explained.My heart sank. Those four ads would have been enough for the monthly house payment. Then I thought, I'll try to speak with Mr. Ahlman one more time. Everyone loves and respects him. Surely he'll listen. Every time I'd tried to approach him in the past, he had refused to see me. But I knew that if he advertised with me, the other merchants in town would follow his lead.As I walked into Mr. Ahlman's drugstore, he was there at the prescription counter. I smiled my best smile and said, "Everyone respects your opinion, Mr. Ahlman. Would you just look at my work for a moment so that I can tell the other merchants what you think?" Without saying a word he firmly shook his head, "No."Suddenly all of my enthusiasm left me. I made it as far as the beautiful old soda fountain at the front of the drugstore, feeling that I didn't have the strength to drive home.I didn't want to sit at the soda fountain without buying something, so I ordered a Coke. I wondered desperately what to do. Would my babies lose their home as I had so many times when I was growing up? Was my English teacher wrong? My eyes filled with tears.A soft voice beside me said, "What's the matter, dear?" I looked up into the sympathetic face of a lovely gray-haired lady. I poured out my story to her, ending it with, "But Mr. Ahlman, who everyone respects so much, refuses to look at my work.""Let me see that Shoppers Column," she said. She took my marked issue of the newspaper in her hands and carefully read my column all the way through. Then she stood up, looked back at the prescription counter and in a commanding voice, said, "Ruben Ahlman, come here!" The lady was Mrs. Ahlman!She told Ruben to buy some advertising from me. His mouth turned up in a big grin. Then she asked me for the names of the four merchants who had turned me down. She went to the phone and called each one. She gave me a hug and told me they were waiting for me.Ruben and Vivian Ahlman became our dear friends, as well as steady advertising customers. I learned that Ruben was a darling man who bought from everyone. He had promised Vivian not to buy anymore advertising, and in turning me down he was just trying to keep his word to her. If I had only asked others in town, I might have learned that I should have been talking to Mrs. Ahlman from the beginning. That conversation at the soda fountain was the turning point. My advertising business thrived and grew into four offices, with 285 employees serving 4,000 businesses.Later when Mr. Ahlman modernized the old drug store and removed the soda fountain, my husband bought it and installed it in my office.If you were here, we'd sit at the soda fountain together. I'd pour youa Coke and remind you to never give up, to remember that help is always closer than we know.Then I would tell you that if you can't communicate with a key person, search for more information. Try another path. Look for someone who can communicate for you. And, finally, I would offer you the sparkling, refreshing words of Bill Marriott of theMarriott Hotels: "Failure? I've never encountered it. All I ever met were temporary setbacks."51 One of the problems with today’s economy is that it’s ver y hard to find young people who are good salesmen. Many students coming out of college are more interested in a customer’s motivation than they are in closing a sale. They also have a tendency to be too honest, which can play havoc in the retail business.2 A friend of mine has a dress shop here in Georgetown, and she told me of the problems she had with a young lady, a psychology major, whom she had hired as a salesgirl. This, in essence, is what happened:3 The first day a lady came in the store, and the salesgirl (let us call her Miss Brampton asked if she could be of help.4 “I’d like a suit for the fall,” the lady said.5 “What price range?” Miss Brampton asked.6 “It doesn’t make any difference,” the lady replied.7 “Well, let me ask you this question: Do you want the suit because you need it? Or have you just had a fight with your husband and are trying to get even by making a very expensive purchase?”8 “I beg your pardon?” the lady said.9 “Perhaps you suspect he has a girlfriend, and you think this is the only way you can get back at him.”10 “I have no idea what you’re talking about,” the customer said. 11 “Spending money in anger is a very expensive form of hostility. My advice to you is to think it overfor a few days. Try to patch up your differe nces. Buying a new suit won’t save your marriage.”12 “Thank you very much,” the customer said coldly and left the store.13 “She’s angry with me now,” Miss Brampton told the dress shop owner, “but in a week she’l it.” 14My friend the shop owner decided to let the incident pass; but that afternoon another customer came in, and Miss Brampton asked if she could be of help.15The lady said, “I need something really exciting. I’m going to the Kennedy Center, and I want a dress that will knock everyone dead.” 16Miss Brampton said, “We have some lovely evening dresses over here for insecure people.”17 “Insecure people?”18 “Oh, yes. Didn’t you know that clothes are one of the main ways women compensate for insecurity?”19 “I’m not insecure,” the lady said angril y.20“Then why do you want to knock them dead at the Kennedy Center? Why can’t you be accepted for yourself instead of what you wear? You are a very attractive person, and you have an inner beauty you try to disguise. I can sell you a new dress that will attract attention, but then you would never know if it was you or the dress that made people stop and stare.”21 By this time the dress shop owner decided to step in.22“Mi ss Brampton, if the lady wants an evening dress, let her see our evening dresses.”23 “No,” the customer said. “Your girl is right. Why spend five hundred dollars to get a few compliments from people who really don’t care what I wear? Thank you forhelpingme, young lady. It’s true I’ve been insecure all these years and didn’t even know it.” 24The customer walked out of the store.25when a college student came in to buy a miniskirt, and Miss Brampton gave her thirty minutes on women’s lib and then said, “All you do when you buy miniskirts is to become a sex object.”26 That night the dress shop owner put a sign in the window: HELP WANTED —NO PSYCHOLOGY MAJORS NEED APPLY.6If one person can be said to have led the world into the age of technology it was Thomas Alva Edison. Not only did he invent and perfect many of the technologies vital to the modern world --- including the electric light, the motion picture camera and the first sound recordings --- he also set the standard for how research and development is done today.Edison's best-known saying is: "Genius is one per cent inspiration and 99 per cent perspiration." This belief was his religion: He worked day and night for much of his life. By the time he died in 1931, he had patented over 1,100 inventions. Some were entirely his own, but many were improvements he had made to the inventions of others. Edison's career began in New York, in 1869, when he was 22 years old. He arrived in the city with nothing but the shirt on his back. It turned out that the old family friends he had hoped would help him had moved on; consequently, Edison found himself out on the street. He ended up sleeping in the cellar of a company that operated an information service for stockbrokers. In those days, information was sent from place to place using tickertape, and one day the system collapsed. In the chaos that followed, Edison offered to fix the problem and within minutes had the equipment working again. He was immediately given a job.Within a year, Edison had saved enough money to open his own company manufacturing tickertape machines. The business did well, and Edison had plenty of time to concentrate on his experiments and inventions. In fact, he was so productive that within six years, he hadpatented over 120 inventions, in between running a successful business, getting married and starting a family. Shortly after that, he moved his factory to Menlo Park, New Jersey, where he established his first big laboratory. It was here that Edison was to do his best work and build his international reputation. The factory would also set the standard for how new technologies would be created and perfected in the future, according to patent consultant Ted Blake. "Edison was really the first man to run a research and development department like a modern technology concern. A lot of invention nowadays is modification of existing products and processes, to make them a little bit more commercial, a little bit more effective. And Edison started all that off." Few of Edison's most useful inventions were entirely original. Instead, he concentrated much of his time and effort on improving existing products. One was the telephone. Alexander Graham Bell invented it, but it was Edison who improved the range and clarity of the instrument so that it could be put to practical use by ordinary people. Moreover, some of the inventions commonly attributed to Edison had already been invented. One example is the light bulb. This was first demonstrated in London in 1878 by its English inventor, Joseph Wilson Swan. However, when Edison demonstrated his light bulb in the US the following year, it was he who was given the credit for bringing electric light to the world. One reason was that Edison did more than just supply a light bulb, as Brian Bowers of London's Science Museum explains. "Edison believed that if you had electric light, then you should have an Edison electric light bulb in an Edison lamp, connected by a piece of Edison wire, all the way back to the Edison generator in the Edison power station. It was a different concept --- he was going for the whole system." In this, Edison was unlike most scientists and inventors, who tend to concentrate on one particular idea or field. Edison never restricted himself. The reason, says his biographer, Neil Baldwin,is that he was motivated by a desire to improve people's lives. "You can see this theme throughout his life --- to help the people of America to better their lives. He designed mass housing for theworking people; he tried to find a cheaper way to mine iron ore; he designed a battery for an automobile; and he tried to make an electric car, to cut down on environmental pollution." In fact, so great was Edison's desire to invent things that would make life easier and better that he neglected to exploit many of his inventions because he didn't believe they would be of use to people, or that people would want them. One of his biggest mistakes was to underestimate the attraction of cinema and radio. After inventing the motion picture camera, he abandoned filmmaking because he believed movies could only be of interest to specialists who would use them for education, not entertainment. And although he was the first person to record sound, he failed to develop that technology because he didn't think people would want radios. His reasoning was that the public would not allow into their homes a source of entertainment they couldn't control. Despite these occasional errors of judgment, Edison produced a steady supply of useful inventions throughout his life, many of which are still helping to shape our world.。

"Very hesitantly I selected a tube of blue paint, and with infinite precaution made a mark about as big as a bean on the snow-white field. At that moment I heard the sound of a motorcar in the drive and threw down my brush in a panic. I was even more alarmed when I saw who stepped from the car: the wife of Sir John Lavery, the celebrated painter who lived nearby.“我迟疑不决地选了一管蓝色颜料，然后小心翼翼地在雪白的底子上的画上蚕豆般大小的一笔。
就在这时，我听到车道上传来一辆汽车的声音，于是一份耕耘，一份收获答案只是参考，请大家努力自学惊恐地丢下我的画笔。
当我看清是谁从汽车里走出来时，更是惊慌失措。
来者正是住在附近的着名画家约翰?莱佛利爵士的妻子。
"'Painting!' she declared. 'What fun. But what are you waiting for? Let me have the brush — the big one.' She plunged into the paints and before I knew it, she had swept several fierce strokes and slashes of blue on the absolutely terrified canvas. Anyone could see it could not hit back. I hesitated no more. I seized the largest brush and fell upon my wretched victim with wild fury. I have never felt any fear of a canvas since."‘在画画呢!’她大声说道。

Winston Churchill — His Other Life
by Mary Soames
1 My father, Winston Churchill, began his love affair with painting in his 40s, amid disastrous circumstances. As First Lord of the Admiralty in 1915, he had been deeply involved in a campaign in the Dardanelles that could have shortened the course of a bloody world war. But when the mission failed, with great loss of life, Churchill paid the price, both publicly and privately: He was removed from the Admiralty and lost his position of political influence.

Unit 1误会佚名他头发蓬乱，衣着肮脏，口袋里只有35美分。
在马里兰州的巴尔的摩，他登上一辆公共汽车并径直走向了洗手间。
他想如果他躲在洗手间里，便可以不付钱就乘车去纽约。
但是坐在公共汽车后面的一位乘客看见了他。
她拍了拍她前面那位乘客的肩膀说：“洗手间里有个流浪汉。
告诉公共汽车司机。
”那位乘客轻轻地拍了一下坐在他前面的人，说道：“告诉公共汽车司机，洗手间里有个流浪汉。
这口信通过一个又一个的乘客传到了公共汽车的前边。
但在这一过程的某个环节，口信变了。
当它传到公共汽车司机那儿时，已经不是“洗手间里有个流浪汉”，而是“洗手间里有颗炸弹”。
司机马上在公路边停下车来并用无线电通知了警察。
当警察到达时，他们让乘客下车并且远离汽车。
然后他们关闭了那条公路。
那很快就造成了15英里长的交通堵塞。
警察在警犬的帮助下，在公共汽车上搜查了两个小时。
当然，他们没有发现什么炸弹。
两个发音相似的英语单词给一个想从洛杉矶飞往加利福尼亚州奥克兰的人也造成了麻烦。
他的问题始于洛杉矶机场。
他以为听到广播中宣布了他的航班，所以他走向登机门，出示了机票并登上了飞机。
起飞20分钟后，这人开始担心起来。
奥克兰在洛杉矶的北边，但是飞机似乎正在向西飞，而当他向窗外望去时，他所能看到的全是大海。
“这架飞机是去奥克兰吗?”他问航班服务员。
航班服务员倒抽了一口冷气，“不，”她说。
“我们去奥克兰——新西兰的奥克兰。
”因为有这么多英文单词发音相似，讲英语者之间的误会并不罕见。
并非所有的误会都会导致公路关闭或乘客飞错大陆。
大多数误会远没有这么严重。
每天讲英语的人会相互问这样的问题:“你是说七十还是十七?”“你是说你能来还是不能来?”发音相似的单词对把英语作为第二语言的人来说，特别容易让人混淆。
一天早晨，一位生活在美国的韩国妇女到上班地点时，她的老板问她：“你拿到盘子了吗?” “没有……”她回答说，心里却在纳闷，不知道他到底是什么意思。
她在办公室工作。
老板为什么问她盘子的事呢？一整天她都对老板的怪问题感到纳闷，但又不好意思开口问他。

第一单元Text B、Little Sister of the PoorBy Kenneth L. Woodward1.With a will of iron and a heart of love, Mother Teresa served the dying and desperate in India and around the world.凭着钢铁般的意志和一颗爱心，德肋撒嬷嬷为印度和全世界垂死和绝望的人们鞠躬尽瘁。
2.When she died last week in Calcutta — just days after her 87th birthday — she was known the world over as Mother Teresa. Thin and bent, she had been hospitalized with numerous illnesses over the last two years. That night, after finishing dinner and her prayers, Mother Teresa complained of a pain in her back. “I cannot breathe,” she told a doctor summoned to her side. Moments later, she died. Shortly after, her nuns tolled a huge metal bell and some 4,000 people gathered in the rain outside — among them many of the street people she had served for so long. Inside, Mother Teresa's body was washed, dressed and laid on a bed of ice. One by one the nuns filed past, touching her bare feet in a traditional Indian gesture of respect.当她上周在加尔各答去世时---刚刚过了87岁生日没有几天---她被全世界的人们称为德肋撒嬷嬷。
