When I graduated from high school,my family had a business so I never thought about getting a college degree. I went straight from my high school graduation to work for my father. After 24 years of ups and downs (mostly downs),I decided that I wanted to return to school and earn a degree in Business Administration.
Some people told me that it was too late. Some told me that I was too old. Others told me that I would never be able to pull it off. I had to work full time and take care of my son. But inside I was told something different.
One day while looking up information on how to go about getting into college,a little window popped (弹出) up on my screen. It said,“Do you think you are too old to go back to school?” I clicked on the box and there I found an online college. I spoke to someone in the school and they assisted me in getting loans and grants to pay for it. They told me that I could take classes any way that I wanted so that I could go to work. I also found out that I could attend classes at home so that I could be there for my son.
Now today,almost 2 years later,I will not only be graduating but graduating with honors. I have been on the Dean’s list for almost the whole time I have been in college.
So for anyone out there who thinks that something is out of reach or impossible,remember this: If I had listened to those people who told me,I couldn’t do it then.

In some countries, if you give a loud burp, you are told to say "Excuse me, please".
In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. People show good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat.
What are manners like in an East African town? People try not to see you. They are being polite. You may see a friend. He may not see you at all. If you are polite, you will sit down beside him. You will wait until he finishes what he is doing. Then he will talk to you.
Manners are different all over the world. But it is good to know that, all manners begin in the same way. People need ways to show that they want to be friends.

听力原文: Ought you to give other people advice about how to live their lives? I don't know. But sometimes it is possible to give good advice.
When t was young, a stranger came to my house; a small man with shabby clothes and a round red face. He told me he was working in a small hospital but didn't like his job there. He asked whether there would be any opportunities for an English doctor in Spain. I warned him that Spain was not always the Spain of grand opera, but that be might earn enough to keep body and soul together. He must decide for himself. He left me and I soon forgot him. Some years later I happened to be in Valencia. Feeling rather unwell, I asked the hotel porter if there was an English- speaking doctor in the town. He gave me an address.
When I reached the house, a small cheerful looking man met me. He was the English speaking doctor and invited me in. After he had examined me and told me what to do, I asked what his fee was.
He shook his head. "There's no fee. Don't you recognize me? I was wondering whether I'd ever have a chance to thank you for what you've done. You told me I might earn enough money to keep body and soul together and I haven't done much more than that. I shall never be rich, but that doesn't matter at all. I'm happy, I enjoy my job, and I wouldn't exchange it for anything else in the world."

"That was inslavery time", says Charlie Smith in one interview. "They sold the colored people. And they were bringing them from Africa. They brought me from Africa. I was a child". The Library of Congress released the collection of recordings, Voices from the Days of Slavey, in January. The recorrdings were made between 1932 and 1975. Speaking at least 60 years after their emancipation(解放), the story teller discuss their experiences as slaves.
They also tell about their lives as free men and women.
Isom Moseley was just a boy at the time of emancipation, but he recalls that things were slow to change. "It was a year before the folks knowed they was free", he says.
Michael Taft, the head of the library's archive of folk culture, says the recordings reveal something that written stores cannot. "The power of hearing someone speak is so much greater than reading something from the page", Taft says. "It's how something is said—the dialect, the low pitches, the pauses—that helps tell the story".
What is new about the slaves stories?
A.They are told in the slaves own voices.
B.People travel around the world to hear them.
C.Colored people were sold.
D.They happened in the slavery time.
I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain store in the neighborhood where I grew up; and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons (in many countries, eggs are sold by the dozen and are put in cartons). Then he related an incident(event, matter)and I began to remember unclearly the incident he was describing.
I was about eight years old at the time. I went into the store with my mother to do some shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the food department where the incident took place.
There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there were lots of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons. The cartons were put three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of the piles of egg cartons. Just then a woman came by pushing her shopping cart and knocked off the cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the eggs back together, so I went to work.
The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees looking at some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the one who just did it. He severely reprimanded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. I tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, it is plain that the manager did not.
According to this passage, many people will have a good opinion of those who ______.
A.have never made any mistakes
B.often make mistakes but correct them in no time
C.admit their mistakes
D.forget other people's mistakes easily
