About a half century ago, in his 20s, Mr. Reid was not in school. Instead, he was racing cars and chasing girls. But

22、 he says his friend Bill invited him to UVA parties.“Bill told me what a terrible life I had unless I came up here and went to school with him,” said Reid.That was in 1963.

23、influences students. He opened the minds of the young adults. The teacher says Mr. Reid showed them that life does not end at 40.

24、rs. All you must do is to get out of your own way and get back to it.

28、e trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Steins jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bag.Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year.

29、ties do not allow them at checkouts (收银台). The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles.
