给予
Like most people, I was brought up to look upon
life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late
thirties that I made this important discovery:
giving-away makes life so much more exciting. You
need not worry if you lack money. This is how I
experimented with giving-away. If an idea for
improving the window display of a neighborhood
store flashes to me, I step in and make the suggestion
to the storekeeper. One discovery I made about
giving-away is that it is almost impossible to give away
anything in this world without getting something back,
though the return often comes in an unexpected form.
One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an
important special delivery letter to my home, though it
was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the
postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year
later I needed a post-office box for a new business I
was starting. I was told at the window that there were
no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on
a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the

postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had
overheard our conversation.
“
Wasn
’
t it you that
wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a
special delivery to your home?
”
I said yes.
“
Well, you
certainly are going to have a box in this post office if
we have to make one for you. You don
’
t know what a
letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but
complaints.

电视节目
Television gives the American people a wide
variety of programs from early morning until late at
night. Operas, orchestral performances, chamber
music and jazz concerts are often presented on
television. So most of the leisure at home is used for
watching television. Many Americans are so fond of
their TV programs that they often have cold luncheon
in front of their receiving sets. Television has given
people newer and deeper understanding of history, art,
music, literature, the ballet, the theater, the discoveries
of modern science and the wonders of the universe.
Television viewers pay no tax or charges for receiving

programs on their sets. The cost of the programs is
paid chiefly by those who are given the opportunity to
advertise their goods or services during the
commercial breaks.

篮球
Interest in basketball in the United States peaks
around three big championship events in the spring:
the college championships for men and women in late
March or early April and the professional playoffs that
climax in June.
But that
’
s only organized basketball. Informally,
the game has been learned by generations of
American youths on city playgrounds and schoolyards,
on lonely baskets put up in backyards of rural homes
and on the driveway basketball courts of countless
suburban homes. Here, playing on teams, going
one-on-one against a single opponent or just
shooting the ball hour after hour alone, some of the
finest basketball players have developed their skills to
incredible levels.

But as brilliant as some players may be, basketball
requires coaching to teach athletes skills they are
deficient in and to blend a group of individuals into a
team. Styles of coaching vary. Some coaches favor an
extremely disciplined game with each player having a
specific role while others are more inclined to let their
players dictate the style of play.

生命之坚持
Some people insist that only today and tomorrow
matter. But how much poorer we would be if we really
lived by that rule! So much of what we do today is
frivolous and futile and soon forgotten. So much of
what we hope to do tomorrow never happens.
The past is the bank in which we store our most
valuable possession: the memories that give meaning
and depth to our lives. Those who truly treasure the
past will not bemoan the passing of the good old days,
because days enshrined in memory are never lost.
Death itself is powerless to still a remembered voice or

erase a remembered smile. And for one boy who is
now a man, there is a pond which neither time nor tide
can change, where he can still spend a quiet hour in
the sun.

任教印象
The main impression growing out of twelve years
on the faculty of a medical school is that the No.1
health problem in the U.S. today, even more than AIDS
or cancer, is that Americans don
’
t know how to think
about health and illness. Our reactions are formed on
the terror level.
We fear the worst, expect the worst, thus invite the
worst. The result is that we are becoming a nation of
weaklings and hypochondriacs, a self-medicating
society incapable of
distinguishing between casual, everyday
symptoms and those that require professional
attention.
Early in life, too, we become seized with the
bizarre idea that we are constantly assaulted by
