21、I can remember when my daughter Maggie, who is now six, used to crawl into my lap and say, “Daddy, read me a story.” Last year she announced, “Daddy, I’m going to read you a story.”
Maggie was a television child. When she first became conscious of anything beyond eating and sleeping, the TV set was right there, and it soon commanded her attention.
A few years ago, we were worried not only that we’d never get the children away from the set long enough to learn to read, but that we’d forget how to read ourselves. But in 1955 there was not only more reading than before TV, but more reading than ever before in history.
Clearly, reading has survived television as it has survived a lot of other things. When I was six, a wail went up about menaces (威胁) to reading at home: motor cars and cinema. When Maggie came along, there was television. The motorcar, the radio, the cinema and television do take up a lot of time.
Well, we’ve got more time. When my mother was a girl, people worked about 60 hours a week. Now it’s 44. When Maggie grows up, it’ll be 30. And there’ll be numerous gadgets to do her housework. She’ll have to read. You can’t watch TV all day.
At present Maggie is reading about Johnny Woodchuck. Ahead of her — and I’m a little envious — are her first brush with Black Beauty, Alice stepping through the looking glass, Huck and Jim drifting down the Mississippi, the emotional storms of Shakespeare, the spiritual agonies of Tolstoy. For reading isn’t all joy. Like life itself, it’s mixed with many moods, from ecstasy (狂喜) to despair. Maggie will learn to take the rough with the smooth, gathering from the ancient wisdom of long-dead genius a little fire to enrich her spirit.
And some day, if she’s lucky, she’ll get the biggest thrill of all, when a little girl climbs into her lap and announces, “Mummy, I’m going to read you a story.”

22、 Art has always been a vital part of my life. When I was o ld enough to appreciate genuine fine art , my parents started bringing me to museums that housed works of the greatest artists in the world.
When my art teacher asked us to do a Cubist（立体派的)drawing, my first thought was that she was just joking. I didn't like Cubism. I thought to do so means making fun ofthe true artists I admired. Unwillingly, I began to find out items for my drawing, I carelessly drew the objects all from different view points. The pictures all looked like a mess of lines and shapes anyway, but I was more concerned with how many more minutes were in the period because I was hungry. Yet, the other part of me was growing quieter. I began to take my task seriously and darken specific lines. I stared at my drawing and determined which ones needed to be emphasized. I was soon shading certain shapes black and they brought out important figures. It must be absolutely perfect.
When I showed her my finished drawing, my teacher looked at me with her huge smile and simply stated, "You are a Cubist. " At that moment the world stopped moving. My cubist drawing was the best piece of art I had ever created, not because I had spent the most time on it but because I had felt it. I thought of how I produced it. Once I felt frustrated, trying to perfect my black lines. Another time I was delighted in breathing life into the drawing by adding color. All of these emotions showed themselves in my work, giving it life that none of my previous works had had. Cubism set me free, showing everything I knew, everything I was, and everything I wished I could be. I had found the missing link, and the world began to move again.

23、Three Signs of True Confidence
Many people mistakenly believe that confident people are somehow special and unique. The truth about confidence is that it's an acquired skill. 【1】Even fewer remain confident through the painful process of adolescence and adulthood. Here is what true confidence looks like:
They are quietly strong and firm【2】They know their self-worth, and they've also learned humility(谦逊).Their achievements are part of who they are, but they're not all that they are. Often they experience diversity in their life. They learn that material success comes and goes, but the steady strength that fuels their core can never be taken away from them.
They are sympathetic and happy to see others succeed. 【3】They never feel threatened by another person's beauty, wealth, talent or success. They don't deny others 'opportunities and support. You will often see a confident person encourage others. They know that another person's success does not diminish(减少)their own.
They are independent from outside approval. Confident people are not afraid of criticism, because their realistic feeling of self-worth acts as an acid test that allows them to differentiate between helpful criticism and personal attacks. They like to learn from the former, and dismiss the latter. They know that they can't please everyone, and they don't waste their time trying. 【4】 The main guiding force in their lives is their own internal compass.
【5】It has to be learned and earned, often through years of questioning and mistakes. It requires open-mindedness, a strong sense of personal responsibility, and much emotional maturity. But it is rarely easy to obtain but it is worth the effort.

E.Today, I'm inviting you to open yourself up to true confidence.
F.Confident people don't feel the need to prove anything to anyone.
G.They never tease or put down others to make themselves feel better
24、Many people have long dreamed of being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle. Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem.
Over the past 10 years, developments in technology have moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality. Now, two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available very soon.
Grant Stapleton from Malloy Aeronautics says the Hoverbike, which is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly, will be a truly personal flying vehicle. "It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed," he adds.
Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company's main concern when developing the Hoverbike. He ays the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors (折叠旋翼) to power the vehicle. The company is testing both a one-third size model and a full-size prototype (原型) of the Hoverbike.
Inventors say their Hoverbike will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams.
In New Zealand, the Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a full-size prototype of its personal flying bike, called Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up t0 1,000 meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.
Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said Jetpack "is built around safety from the start, " In his words, "reliability is the most important part of it. We have safety built into the actual structure itself, very similar to a Formula One racing car. "
Jetpack uses a gasoline-powered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute (降落伞) that can be used should there be an emergency.
"It opens at a very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot in an emergency," he adds.
【1】Which of the following words can best describe the Hoverbike?
A. Powerful. B. Fast. C. Portable. D. Available.
【2】What make(s) flying vehicles seem practical now?
A. Modem technology. B. New safety rules.
C. Love of cycling. D. Public concerns.
【3】Who are expected to use the Hoverbike first?
A. People who dream of flying.
B. People who really love cycling.
C. People who design the bike.
D. People who serve public purposes.
【4】What's the main concern the two companies share?
A. Safety. B. Speed. C. Size. D. Design.
