題目列表(包括答案和解析)
Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn't think there would be any difficulty in getting it repaired, as there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception(接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't even look at my chair.
The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth -- so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?"
He looked it over carefully and said,- "Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?"
“Twenty pounds," I said.
“OK," he said, "I'll give you twenty pounds."
“It's got a slightly broken leg," I said.
‘'Yes, I saw that, it's nothing."
Everything was going according to my plan and l was getting excited. "What will you do with it?" I asked.
“Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done."
“I'll buy it," I said.
“What do you mean? You've just sold it to me," he said.
"Yes, I know but I've changed my mind. I am sorry. I'll give you twenty-seven pounds for it."
“You must be crazy," he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair."
“You're right," I said. "And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, 'Would you repair this chair for me?"'
“I wouldn't have agreed to do it," he said. "We don't do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I'II repair this for you. Shall we say for five pounds?" He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.

During his college years, Sherman Rogers spent a summer in logging(伐木) camp. When the boss had to leave for 41 days, he put Rogers in charge(掌管).
“What shall I do if the men 42 to follow my orders?” Rogers asked. He thought of Tony, a worker who complained all day, gave the other men a 43 time.
“Fire(解雇) them,” the boss said. Then, as if reading Rogers’ mind, he added, “I suppose you are going to fire Tony if you get the 44 . I’d feel badly about that. I have been logging for 40 years. Tony is one of the best workers I’ve ever had. I know he hates everybody and 45 . But he comes in first and leaves last. There has not been an 46 for eight years on the hill where he works.”
The next day, Rogers went to Tony, “Tony, do you know I’m in charge here today?” Tony said yes. “I was going to fire you the first time we quarreled, 47 I want you to know I’m not,” he told Tony, adding 48 the boss had said.
When he finished, Tony dropped the things in his hand and tears went down his 49 .
“Why didn’t he tell me that eight years 50 ?”
That day Tony worked 51 than ever before – and he smiled!
Rogers went back to 52 after that summer. Twelve years later he met Tony again who was now boss for one of the largest logging companies in the West. Rogers asked him how he came to California and happened to be so 53 .
Tony replied, “Were it not for the one minute you talk to me back that day, I would kill somebody some day. One minute 54 my whole life.”
Have you got one minute to thank someone? One minute to appreciate(欣賞) her or him? One minute. It can make a 55 for a lifetime.
