Joe Brown had a shop. He sold(卖) meat in his shop . One Thursday a woman came into his shop at five to one . “I'm sorry I'm late,” she said. “I need some more meat for my dinner tonight.” Joe had only one piece of meat in his shop. He took it out of the fridge and said, “This is＄6.50.” “That piece is too small.” the woman said, “haven't you for anything bigger?” Joe went into the room behind his shop, put the piece of meat into the fridge, took it out again and closed the door with lots of noise. Then he brought the piece of meat to the woman and said, “This piece of meat is bigger and more expensive. It's ＄8.75.” “Good,” the woman said with a smile,“give me both of them.”

   When I was seven years old, my family made me an ant farm. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive. After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels(地道). I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job.
   On the fifth day a tragedy(悲剧) happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after their earthquake, one by one began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner the farm. My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand that their tunnels were gone.
   Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.
   Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work.
   But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity(逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another.
Giving up, I say, is not a good choice.

    One of the most famous scientists to study adaptations(适应能力) was Charles Darwin(达尔文). He was born in England in 1809. He wasn't the best student in his school, but when he was 16, his father sent him to a medical school. Charles liked spending time outdoors observing(观察) nature more than having medical classes. He dropped out without graduating.
    Next, Charles' father sent him to school to become a minister(牧师). This time he made it to graduation, but he didn't want to do the work of a minister. His friends encouraged him to follow his interest in science.
    Luckily, Charles was invited to sail on the Beagle as an unpaid scientist after graduation. The Beagle was to travel to South America and then around the world. Their task was to make maps of the places they visited.
    On December 27th, 1831. Charles Darwin sailed from England on the Beagle. The trip was planned to last two years. In fact, it lasted five. During this time, he saw many amazing things. He collected lots of plants and animals and took them back to England to begin his scientific study.
    Twenty-three years later, Darwin published a scientific paper with another man named Wallace. Darwin described how some animals have adaptations that help them survive. They are passed on to offspring(后代). Darwin's ideas about adaptations are still very important to the study of living things.

    Our English teacher, Tom Jackson, has some good neighbors. They are Carl, Ann, Joe and Mary. Here's some information about them.

    Ann is a kind woman in a small town. In a hospital, she works as a nurse for four years. She likes her work very much. This month she is helping mothers with their new babies.
    Joe is a taxi driver. He drives a taxi for 22 years. Most of the time Joe likes his work. He takes many film stars to the airport. He is cheerful and smiles a lot and his passengers like him. He makes a good living and supports a family of four.
    Mary is a teacher in a high school. She teaches French. She has 33 students in her class, 15 boys and 18 girls. She likes her students, and her students like her. She is very kind and helps them a lot. She is always happy to be a teacher.

Once there was a piano player in a bar. People came just to hear him play. But one night, a girl asked him to sing a song.

“I don't sing,” said the man.

But the girl told the waiter, “I'm tired of listening to the piano. I want the player to sing! ”

The waiter shouted across the room, “Hey, friend! If you want to get money, sing a song!”

So he did. He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had ever heard the song!

He had skills(技能) he was sitting on! He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar. But once he caught the chance, and found, by accident, that he could sing well, he went on working hard and became one of the best-known singers in the US. His name was Nat King Cole.

You, too, have skills. You may not feel that your skills are great, but it may be better than you think. With hard work, most skills can be improved(提高).
