24、The weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health.

There are plenty of "energy drinks" on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!

25、“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.”

27、   When Henry Ford decided to produce his famous v-8 motor, he chose to build an engine with the entire(全部) eight cylinders（汽缸） cast in one block, and instructed（命令） his engineers to produce a design in one for the engine. The design was placed on paper, but the engineers disagreed, they thought it was impossible to cast （铸造）an eight-cylinder engine-block in one piece.

Ford said, “Produce it anyway.” “But,” they replied, “It’s impossible!”

“Go ahead.” Ford commanded, “And stay on the job until you succeed, no matter how much time is required.”

The engineers went ahead. There was nothing else for them to do, if they were to remain on the Ford staff. Six months passed and nothing happened. Another six months passed, and still nothing happened. The engineers tried every conceivable（可想到的） plan to carry out the orders, but the thing seemed out of the question: “Impossible!”

At the end of the year Ford checked with his engineers, and again they informed him they had found no way to carry out his orders.

“Go right ahead,” said Ford, “I want it, and I’ll have it.”

They went ahead, and then, as if by a stroke of magic, the secret was discovered. The Ford’s determination had won once more!

One evening after dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Thatcher called a family meeting. “We’ve got something important to tell you.” Mr. Thatcher said. “You see, your mother has been offered a job as co-director of a television station in a big city. After thinking long and hard about it, we’ve concluded that the right d______ is to move to that city.”

Kenny looked shocked, while his sister Edith breathlessly started asking when they would be moving.

“It’s s______, but exciting!” Edith said.

“We can’t go – I can’t leave all my friends. I’d rather stay here and live with Tony Strong!” Kenny said.

The Thatchers hoped that by the time they moved in August, Kenny would get more used to the i______ of leaving. However, he showed no signs of a______ the news and didn’t want to pack his belongings.

When the morning of the move arrived, Kenny was nowhere to be found. His parents called Tony Strong’s house, but Mrs. Strong said she hadn’t seen Kenny.

Actually Kenny had started walking over to Tony Strong’s house. There was an empty room in the Strongs’ house. Kenny thought maybe he could h______ there for a few days. If his family couldn’t find him, they would have to move without him. Then he could still stay with his friends.

But something happened on the way as Kenny walked past all the f______ places of the neighbourhood: the fence that he and his mother painted, the tree that he and his sister used to climb, the park where he and his father took evening walks together. How much would these mean without his family? Kenny didn’t take the time to answer that question but hurried back to his house i______.
