The man behind the counter, the owner of the bookstore, asked me if I would like a job. I needed to start saving for college, so I

13、said yes.I worked after school and during summers for minimum wages and the job helped pay for my freshman year of college. I worked at many other jobs afterwards: I made coffee in the student union during college. I made maps for the Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying.

14、One day a woman asked me for books on cancer. She seemed fearful. I showed her everything we had and found other books we could order. She left the shop less worried and Ive always remembered the pride I felt in having helped her.Years later, as a television reporter, I heard about a poor child who

15、was born with his fingers of the left hand linked together. His family could not afford the corrective surgery, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his left hand in his pocket.I persuaded my boss to let me do the story on TV. After my story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perf

16、orm the surgery for free.I visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was hold up his repaired hand and say, “Thank you.” I was overjoyed and filled with a strong sense of reward. At McCarley Bookstore, I always felt I was working for the customers, not just for

17、 the store. Today its the same. NBC news pays me the salary. But I feel that I work for the viewers, helping them make sense of the world. My working experience in McCarley Bookstore helped me find a good sense of the world, and most importantly, it helped me find a good sense of myself. 1. How did

Paper was not made in southern Europe until about the year 1100. Scandinavia - which now makes a great deal of the worlds paper - did not begin to make it until 150

23、0. Most paper is made from wood. Paper-making is an important British industry and paper from Britain is sold to many countries such as Australia andSouth Africa. Some of the wood used in the British paper making industry xxes from trees grown in Britain, but wood is also bought from other countries

24、 such as Norway. One tree isneeded for every four hundred copies of a forty-page newspaper. If half the adults in Britain buy one daily paper, this uses up over a thousand trees a day. All over the world, trees are being cut down faster than they are being planted, so there may be a serious need for

25、 paper at the beginning of next century.When we think of paper, we think of newspaper, books, letters and writing paper. But there are many other uses. Only half of paper is used for books and newspaper, etc. Paper is very good for keeping you warm. Each year, more and more things are made of paper.

I always encourage such people, but I also explain that theres a big difference between being a writer and writing. In most cases they are dreaming

29、 of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “Youve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. Only a few writers were kissed by fortune, however there are thousands more whose work is nev

30、er rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the Coast Guard to bexxe a freelance writer, I had no proposals at all. What I did have was a friend who found me in my room in a New York department building. I didnt even care that it was cold and had no bathroom.
