A

      A gentleman once advertised(登广告)for a boy to help him in his office, and nearly fifty persons asked for the place. Out of the whole number he in a short time chose one, and sent all the other boys away.

    “I should like to know," said a friend, "on what ground you chose that boy. He didn't even have a recommendation(推荐信)with him.”

    “You are mistaken,”said the gentleman, "he had a great many: —

    “He made his shoes clean when he came in, and closed the door after him; showing that he was orderly(井然有序的).

      "He gave his seat to the disabled old man; showing that he was        

      "He took off his cap when he came in, and answered my questions quickly and respectfully c恭敬地); showing that he was polite.

       "He lifted up the book which I had purposely (故意地) laid on the floor, and put it on the table, while all the others stepped over it or pushed it aside; showing that he was careful.

      "And he waited quietly for his turn, instead of pushing the others aside; showing that he was modest (谦逊的 ) .

It was the final(决赛) of the national high school basketball game. For the first time in their history,a team from a small town faced last year's best team. The players thought they couldn't win and wanted to give up. Seeing this,the coach told them a story. 

Peter was a woodcutter. He was afraid he would fall ill and die. His wife told him that as long as his hands and feet were warm,he wasn't dead. 

One day,Peter went out to cut down trees. It was snowy and cold. After finishing his work,he noticed that his hands and feet were completely frozen. He thought he was dead,so he stopped working and lay down on the ground. 

After Peter had been lying for a while, some wolves came over. They ate all the food in Peter's food bag. The wolves then noticed Peter lying quietly on the ground. They were getting closer to Peter. Peter thought, "If I weren't dead,I would kill you all. " When the wolves saw Peter doing nothing,they ate him. 

As the coach finished the story,the players talked about how silly Peter was. At the same time,they realized what their coach wanted them to understand:the opposing(竞争的) team was like the wolves,and they were like the woodcutter. They should fight till the end,whether they were "alive" or "dead".

Amy was 5 when her parents signed her up for many sports: gymnastics (体操), swimming, etc. She says, "I was always the youngest person in my class. " Gymnastics was no different. She started out in a class and she loved it. She was so talented in gymnastics that at 6 she joined the "Y Team", and started competing two years later. And when she competed, she won easily. 

Her father, who was a nurse, decided to move to Georgia, because he wanted Amy to enter the Atlanta School of Gymnastics. 

In the 8th grade, Amy spent 36 hours a week training to be an Olympic winner and trying to reach her father's standards. Under pressure, Amy soon began losing all the pleasure she once felt in practicing. 

"At 13 I was afraid of going to the gym. I hated having to do what everyone expected me to, but I was too afraid to tell my parents I wanted to give up. " After being the best junior gymnast in her country, it wasn't easy for Amy to throw it all away. However, one night, Amy finally found the courage to tell her father she wanted to give up. 

For seven years gymnastics had controlled her life, and suddenly she had all this free time. She threw away all her medals (奖牌), "I just felt like those medals were my dad's, not mine. I hated gymnastics and I hated them. Now I feel free. "
