16、抗议道。他父亲只是笑了笑，摇了摇头，对儿子和儿子的梦想没有什么信心。 4 在学校里，同学们也拿他开玩笑，以至于他再也不愿和他们交流想法和愿望，而是把这些想法和愿望埋藏在心底，等待着有一天能把它们变成现实。 5 在他年少时期，好像全世界都不支持他的想法。十五年后他长大成人了，他夜以继日地干着两份工作，终于攒够了购买一艘船所需的首付金。 6 他看到了报纸上的一则广告并写了回信，在当地港口见了那个船主。这个年轻人当场买下了那艘船，并立刻付了首付金，签订了买卖合同。他太高兴了，把这个消息告诉给了所有他认识的人。他们很惊讶，这样说毫不夸张，但他们还是祝他一切顺利，然而绝不承认自己是错的。但他并不在乎这些

17、，因为现在他拥有了自己的船。 7 第二天，他来到港口，打算让船下水，这时他看见一些官员模样的人正围着他新买的船。这些人是联邦特工，准备扣押这条船。卖船的那个人是个骗子和毒贩，这条船在联邦缉毒行动中也将被没收。 8 年轻人失去了他一生的积蓄。他非常震惊！联邦特工说他们第二天上午要过来没收这条船。他们离开时对这个年轻人的损失没有表现出一点同情。当年轻人要离开时，港务长给他一张1200美元的泊船费用账单，费用是先前的船主所欠下的。 9 忍无可忍。年轻人把港务长骂了一通离开了。过了一会他带了一罐黑色的喷漆回来，把船的标志SERENITY（宁静）用漆盖上。然后给这条船写上了新名字ILL FEELINGS

18、（怨恨）。他登上船开始航行出海。即使他对这条船只能拥有一晚，他也要去航行。 10 港务长挥舞着手臂，高喊着暴风雨即将来临，要年轻人停下来。但是这个年轻人又一次咒骂他，继续向大海的方向驶去。 11 果然，航行十英里后，风暴袭击了小船，船被抛来抛去。年轻人狂乱地驾船返回岸边。在离港口还有一英里时，他用无线电向港务长发出信号，让他为他泊船做准备。港务长告诉他不行，他不会让他把船停泊在他的港口。 12 “是因为我说过的话吗？”年轻人绝望地说。 13 “不，我从不心怀怨恨。”港务长说。“这一点毫无疑问我从不让怨恨停留！”Text B: How to Ride the Mass Transit Syste
