一所学院在史蒂夫15岁时接受了他。这个消息遍及了村庄。不但他自己，而且他的父母都为此高兴。他们总是与他并肩作战。与大学通知书一起来的一张账单让他们心烦。这个家庭一点也不富裕，他们没有收音机，更不用说电视了。但他们竭尽全力为儿子提供高等教育。毕竟，他们只有一个儿子。幸运的是，学员体谅史蒂夫的处境并发给他一项5000美元的津贴。所有事情都顺利后，史蒂夫上学了。他的班上总共有30名学生。史蒂夫在课上学会了很多。他知道了黄铜是铜和锌的合金。除此，他还知道有时候大麻用来减轻疼痛。还有，他可以无误地读出拉丁字母表。史蒂夫喜欢除了历史以外的所有课程。他听够了什么“英国与法国联盟曾经击败了许多小国家”“在两次世界大战中，英国是美国的一个同盟国，他们是同盟的国家”等等。但考虑到毕业，他的每门课都得了A。每周一老师给所有学生分配任务，史蒂夫总是第一个完成。因此老师断言史蒂夫是班上最有前途的学生。

In Paul's youth, he had the ambition of being a famous basketball player. As an amateur, he found great amusement in playing basketball. An ambitious boy usually worked hard until one day he broke his leg. The ambulance drove along with noisy whirling whistles toward the hospital. His parents alternated in looking after him. Once he recovered, Paul amended his life goal. He began to have interest in political affairs. At the age of 40, he was appointed ambassador to Britain. He told the news to his girlfriend at once and he proposed to her. He said to her, “My dear, my savings amount to 300 thousand dollars. We have ample money to decorate our wedding room. I just bought an amplifier yesterday. And I prefer to an ampere meter being made of aluminum even though it has analog to another one. ” But he was amazed to hear her ambiguous answer, “Maybe….”. Paul had no alternative but to wait. There were a few alterations to the timetable and the next month he flew to Britain. The airplane flew at an altitude of 20000 ft. Paul felt something wrong and soon lost his mind. When he woke up, he was told that the airplane had crashed and he broke his leg, once again! By analogy, we could guess that Paul would amend his life goal once again!

The Arabian Nights’ Entertainment is very interesting. One of them was a story about an outstanding architect named Ralph. He was good at arithmetic since childhood. And at the age of 20, his opportunity had arisen. The king asked him to design a palace roofed with an arch. On top of the arch, there would be an artificial arctic bear. It’s architecture of great artistic value. The king and the architect arrived at the agreement without argument. Before Ralph finished his work, he saw the princess. Even a flower was not as beautiful as she. Once he saw her, he felt as if he were drunk. As to that, he hadn’t thought of his social rank. Love was important for Ralph as well as for the princess. As for her, she felt as though Ralph were a member of her family. One evening, Ralph articulated his love to the princess. She arranged with him to meet at her bedroom. The next day, the princess aroused him just before dawn. But the arbitrary king had arrayed troops and he ordered the soldiers to arrest him. Luckily, the princess shot an arrow to stop them in time.
