I began working in journalism when I was eight.It was my mother's idea.She wanted me to “make something” of myself,and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.
With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue.The crowds were there.There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union.For several hours I made myself highly visible,making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST.When it was supper time,I walked back home.
“How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked. “None.”
“Where did you go?”
“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.” “What did you do?”
“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.” “You just stood there? Didn't sell a single one? My God,Russell.”
Uncle Allen put in, “I've decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle(五分镍币)．It was the first nickle I earned.
Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence,and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.
One day,I told my mother I'd changed my mind.I didn't want to make a success in the magazine business.
“If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “you'll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that,as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines.Whenever I said no, she would scold me.
My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember.My mother, dissatisfied with my father's plain workman's life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people.But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband's people for true life and love.

When I found out I was moving to India, it was beyond a nightmare. It was something I couldn’t even imagine. The impression I had of India were only based upon a few summer visits to my grandparents, filled with heat, pollution and dirt. Even though I was only six years old, I know this would be a complete change from my comfortable life in Maryland.
During my first six months in India, my expectations were met almost exactly. I hated my new apartment; I missed my school and friends back in Maryland, and I was sick of all the dirty marketplaces that filled the streets of New Delhi.
After those six months were over I finally realized that I was going to be in India for a while. I knew that I had to start making the most of my new life. It was then that I became completely involved in my school. My school, the American Embassy School, was filled with international students: Europeans, Australians, Chinese, and Americans just like me. But they all welcomed me with open arms. It was amazing to be among such diverse students, who had such incredible experiences to share.
Now, when I look back at my time in India, all I can think about is how fortunate I am to have had such a wonderful experience. My move to India not only allowed me to see a completely diffe
rent side of theworld, but I was also able to establish unbreakable bonds with so many interesting and amazing people. Even now, after quite some years, I am still in contact with my closest friends from the American Embassy School. I cannot even imagine what I would be like without having lived in India. I would have missed out on meeting so many extraordinary people, and I would be a completely different person today.
1.At the beginning, the author thought it terrible to move to India because he felt__________ .

2.What made the author face his new life?
A. That he needed to make some friends.
B. That he fell in love with his new school.

3.After the author returned to Maryland _________
A. he found his life in India worthwhile
B. he hoped to go to India once again
C. he shared his story with his family
D. he wanted to experience another new life
4.What does the author want to tell us about his life in India?
