26、Frank Williams was a giant of Formula One (一级方程式), but hiding beneath all the success the British racing legend’s life was touched by tragedy.
The courage, energy and determination with which he dealt with this cruel roll of fate drew admiration from his family, friends, colleagues and the wider public. With Patrick Head he created one of the greatest Formula One teams of all time. Williams captured seven drivers’ titles, while the team’s nine constructors’ crowns places Williams second only to mighty Ferrari (法拉利).
His noted wisdom and charm, perseverant spirit served him well on his journey from being a trainee salesman earning 10 pounds a week, to the peak of the high-quality world of F1. He established Frank Williams Racing Cars in 1966, competing in F3 and F2, and F1 with a borrowed racing car from 1969.
The first all-Williams built F1 car had an inauspicious start, when with Henri Pescarolo at the wheel, it was destroyed in a crash in 1972. With funding an ever-present problem and having lost control of his company he left, with Head, to set up the team that is still racing today, in 1977.
Clay Regazzoni drove a Cosworth-powered Williams to its first F1 success, fittingly at the British Grand Prix, in 1979. Australian Alan Jones won the team’s first drivers’ title the following season. Williams also collected the constructors’ championship that year. Keke Rosberg took the 1982 title, with five more captured in a golden period between 1987 and 1997, all after Williams’ ill-fated 1986 crash to catch a flight in France that led to the car crash.
Williams had to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
“But life has to go on,” he said. “I was able to continue in the business I was already in.” Not for the first time personal suffering failed to decrease Williams’ single-mindedness to succeed, with Damon Hill and Jacques Villeneuve capturing the 1996 and 1997 world championships. He was knighted (封爵) in 1999 and became Sir Frank.
Williams died on November 28, aged 79.

27、Failure is probably the most exhausting experience one ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding. We experience this tiredness in two ways: start-up fatigue (疲惫) and performance fatigue.
In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it is either too boring or too difficult. 【1】 Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first. 【2】 Using my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical (字母) order and I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.
【3】 Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that we fail again and again. Years ago, when planning Encyclopedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its article. Nothing like this had ever been done before and none of the solutions that I came up with worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable. Mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why the problems cannot be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. 【4】 An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind and proved correct at every step.
【5】 Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing. Human beings, I believe, must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.
A.This feeling finally weighed me down.
B.Hard as I worked as before, I felt no fatigue.
C.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle.
D.And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.
E.Feeling relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.
F.I once was asked to write 102 essays on some famous authors.
G.I racked my brains day and night and wrote the essays desperately.
28、A qualified doctor who rarely practised but instead devoted his life to writing once said, “Medicine is my lawful wife and literature is my lover.” Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was a great playwright (剧作家) and one of the masters of the modern short story.
When Chekhov entered the Medical School of Moscow University in 1879, he started to publish hundreds of comic short stories to support his family. After he graduated, he wrote regularly for a local daily newspaper.
As a writer he was extremely fast — often produced a short story in an hour or less. Chekhov's medical and science experience can be seen through the indifference many of his characters show to tragic events. In 1892, he became a full-time writer and published some of his most memorable stories.
Chekhov often wrote about the sufferings of civilians in small towns of Russia. Tragic events controlled his characters who were filled with feelings of hopelessness and despair.
It is often said that nothing happens in Chekhov's stories and plays. He made up for this with his exciting technique for developing drama within his characters. Chekhov's works combined the calm attitude of a scientist and doctor with the sensitivity of an artist.
Some of Chekhov's works were translated into Chinese as early as the 1940s. One of his famous stories, The Man in a Case, about a school teacher's extraordinarily orderly life was selected as a text for Chinese senior students.
