While there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon，my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local sportsman to manage its sports department (部门)．Since Dixon was where I had played high school football，I applied．The job sounded just right for me．But I wasn’t hired．My mother noticed my disappointment．“Everything happens for the best．”Mom reminded me．Dad offered me the car to hunt a job．I tried WOC Radio in Davenport，Iowa．The program director, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter Mac Arthur told me they had already hired an announcer．
As I left his office，I asked aloud，“How can a guy get to be a sports announcer if he can’t get a job in a radio station?”I was waiting for the lift when I heard Mac Arthur calling，“What did you mean about sports? Do you know anything about football?’’ Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to cover an imaginary (想象的) game．Last autumn，my team had won a game in the last 20 seconds with a 65-yard run．I did a 15-minute build-up to that play, and Peter told me I would cover Saturday’s game! On my way home，I thought of my mother’s words：“If you carry on，one day something good will happen．”

I was waiting for the lift when I heard the man call. "What did you mean? Do you know anything about football?" He put me in front of a microphone and asked me to try to imagine that I was giving my opinion on a football game, I succeeded.
On my way home, Mom's words come back to me, "One day your luck will change, Son. And when it happens, it'll feel doubly good because of all the hard work you've had." At that moment I knew just what she meant.

“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. “If you can carry on, one day something good will happen.”
After graduating from college in 1932, I decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way up to sports announcer(播音员). I took the bus to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station. But I was refused every time. In one studio, a nice lady told me that big stations didn’t want to accept inexperienced persons. “Go to the countryside and find a small station that’ll give you a chance,” she said.
I returned home, Dixon in Illinois. While there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Smith Ward had opened a store and wanted a local sportsman to manage its sports department. Since I had played high school football in Dixon, I applied(申请). The job sounded just right for me. But I still failed in the interview. At that moment, mom’s words came to my mind: “Everything happens for the best.” Dad offered me a car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport in Iowa. The program director, named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.
As I left his office, I felt sad. I asked aloud, “How can a man become a sports announcer if he can’t get a job in a radio station?”
I was waiting for the lift when I heard MacArthur calling, “What did you say about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he made me stand before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary game. As a result, I did a wonderful job and was told to broadcast Saturday’s game!
On my way home, I thought of my mother’s words again: “Everything happens for the best if you carry on. One day something good will happen.”
1.After the writer graduated from college, he tried to look for a job in at first.
