There was a rich man who wanted to choose a husband for his only child from a great number of pursuers. The man 　 　 all the pursuers to a river and pointed to the crocodiles there, saying, “Anyone who can swim across the river safely will marry my 　 　 .” The pursuers looked at each other and no one 　 　 take action. At that moment, a man plunged into the river and swam 　 _　 surprising speed to the other side. All the people there 　 　 him with a great sense of admiration for his courage. 　 　 , the man, after landing on the bank, shouted 　 　 , “who pushed me into the river just now?”

Maybe the man, 　 　 thinking about the whole 　 　 and the happy consequences of his act, will eventually be 　 　 to the one who pushed him into the river. In life it is fairly 　 　 for disadvantages to turn into advantages and misfortunes into fortunes! But many of us are 　 　 to realize the true 　 　 of our “rivals” to success. Generally speaking, many people would see the one who “pushes him into the river” as an opponent. However, the one who “pushes him into the river” gives you a feeling of urgency and stimulates (激励) your ambition and　 　 　 to strive for success! You try your best to 　 　 your difficulties and progress to the next stage in life!

If a man does not have rivals, he 　 　 be satisfied with the present and will not strive to improve his　 　 　 . He would 　 　 in the face of difficulties and sink into laziness. Therefore, your rivals are not your opponents. Instead, they are good 　 　 ！In our lives, we need some rivals to “pushes him into the river,” leading us to strive ahead in difficulties and competitions. Thanks to our rivals, we can show our 　 　 to its best. Thanks to our rivals, we are able to make continuous progress while competing with them!

There was a man named Ken Nwadike, who wanted desperately to run this year’s Boston Marathon. But the Boston Marathon is different from most marathons: you have to qualify in order to enter it. Namely, you have to have completed your previous marathon in a certain amount of time, depending on your age category.

Well, the man in question was 23 seconds short of the qualifying time he needed in order to enter the marathon. He had a number of options. He could get angry. He could blame someone. He could get depressed. Any of them could easily have led to his turning tail(逃走) and going home, angry or depressed.

Instead, Ken Nwadike attended the Boston Marathon in his own way. He made a “ Free Hugs” sign, and with that had a camera on a tripod (三脚架), he gave out hugs and smiles to the runners that passed him by, his way of encouraging and supporting them. From that humble beginning, Ken began his widely acclaimed Free Hugs Campaign, which states its purpose as follows: “continuing the movement of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the mission of the Free Hugs Project is to spread love, inspire change and raise awareness of social issues.” His campaign, which quickly became a huge success, got the widespread compliments.

When things go wrong in our lives, as they do from time to time --- sometimes seemingly all the time --- we have a choice. We need to take a deep breath, judge the situation, and find a positive direction in which we should go. Whether it’s something relatively small, like missing a marathon, or large, like losing a loved one, let Ken’s story inspire you to take that breath, re-orient(重新调整)yourself, and move on to doing something worthwhile with the experience.

1.Why couldn’t the man take part in the Boston Marathon at first? (no more than 10 words)

_________________________________________________________________________

2.What did Ken Nwadike mainly do during the Boston Marathon? (no more than 10 words)

_________________________________________________________________________

3.What does the underlined word mean in the third paragraph? (1 word)

_________________________________________________________________________

4.What is the aim of Ken Nwadike’s Free Hugs Campaign? (no more than 15 words)

_________________________________________________________________________

5.What do you think of Ken Nwadike from his story? Why? (no more than 25 words)

There was a story about Ken Davis, a man who found a simple way to enjoy his work. Ken just couldn’t find a suitable job. He worked at a variety of jobs and disliked them at all. While Ken was working as a door-to-door salesman, he noticed that at least half of his customers had broken-down doorbells. And suddenly, Ken’s life career became clear. He opened his own doorbell repair service.

Ken’s wife laughed when she first heard his idea. When she realized he was serious, she cried. Whoever heard of making a living by repairing doorbell? But Ken was making a comfortable living at his unique job, and he was happier than he’d ever been.

Ken didn’t enjoy what he was doing, but now he is enjoying what he is doing because he has got to realize that he is working for himself. Because of his passion for work, he is more devoted to it and does his work more creatively and efficiently.

The biggest mistake that you can make is to believe that you are working for somebody else. Remember, jobs are owned by the company; you own your career!

No matter where you work, you work for yourself! With a little creativity and imagination, your work can seem less like boring work and more like play. To enjoy your work more, it helps to put some play in what you do. Wouldn’t you rather have it that way?
