Unit 1 The way to success
£¨Ò»£©Text A£ºNever, ever give up! ÓÀ²»ÑÔÆú£¡
As a young boy, Britain's great Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, attended a public school called Harrow. He was not a good student, and had he not been from a famous family, he probably would have been removed from the school for deviating from the rules. Thankfully, he did finish at Harrow and his errors there did not preclude him from going on to the university. He eventually had a premier army career whereby he was later elected prime minister. He achieved fame for his wit, wisdom, civic duty, and abundant courage in his refusal to surrender during the miserable dark days of World War II. His amazing determination helped motivate his entire nation and was an inspiration worldwide.

Toward the end of his period as prime minister, he was invited to address the patriotic young boys at his old school, Harrow. The headmaster said, \gentlemen, the greatest speaker of our time, will be here in a few days to address you, and you should
obey whatever sound advice he may give you.%up, all five feet, five inches and 107 kilos of him, and gave this short, clear-cut speech: \ÔÚËûÊ×ÏàÈÎÆÚ¼´½«½áÊøÊ±£¬ËûÓ¦ÑûǰÍùĸУ¹þÂÞ¹«Ñ§£¬ÎªÂú»³±¨¹úÖ®Ö¾µÄͬѧÃÇ×÷Ñݽ²¡£ У³¤Ëµ£º¡°ÄêÇáµÄÏÈÉúÃÇ£¬µ±´ú×îΰ´óµÄÑÝ˵¼Ò¹ý¼¸Ìì¾Í»áÀ´ÎªÄãÃÇÑݽ²£¬ËûÌá³öµÄÈκÎÖпϵĽ¨Ò飬ÄãÃǶ¼ÒªÌý´Ó¡£¡± ÄǸö¼¤¶¯ÈËÐĵÄÈÕ×ÓÖÕÓÚµ½ÁË¡£ ÎÂ˹¶Ù¾ôʿվÁËÆðÀ´¡ª¡ªËûÖ»ÓÐ5Ó¢³ß5Ó¢´ç¸ß£¬ÌåÖØÈ´ÓÐ107¹«½ï¡£Ëû×÷ÁËÑÔ¼òÒâêàµÄ½²»°£º¡°ÄêÇáÈË£¬ÒªÓÀ²»·ÅÆú¡£ÓÀ²»·ÅÆú£¡ÓÀ²»·ÅÆú£¡ÓÀ²»£¬ÓÀ²»£¬ÓÀ²»£¬ÓÀ²»£¡¡±
Personal history, educational opportunity, individual dilemmas ¡ª none of these can inhibit a strong spirit committed to success. No task is too hard. No amount of preparation is too long or too difficult. Take the example of two of the most scholarly scientists of our age, Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison. Both faced immense obstacles and extreme
criticism. Both were called \to learn\and written off as idiots by their teachers.
Thomas Edison ran away from school because his teacher whipped him repeatedly for asking too many questions. Einstein didn't speak fluently until he was almost nine years old and was such a poor student that some thought he was unable to learn. Yet both boys' parents believed in them. They worked intensely each day with their sons, and the boys learned to never bypass the long hours of hard work that they needed to succeed. In the end, both Einstein and Edison overcame their childhood persecution and went on to achieve magnificent discoveries that benefit the entire world today.

Consider also the heroic example of Abraham Lincoln, who faced substantial hardships, failures and repeated misfortunes in his lifetime. His background was certainly not glamorous. He was raised in a very poor family with only one year of formal education. He failed in business twice, suffered a nervous breakdown when his first love died suddenly and lost eight political elections. Later in life, he suffered profound grief over the tragic death of three of his four children. Yet his strong will was the spur that pushed him forward, strengthening his optimism, dedication and determination. It intensified and focused his efforts and enabled him to triumph over the overwhelming failures and profound difficulties in his life. A hundred years later, people from around the world commend Abraham Lincoln as the greatest American president of all time.

Just like Churchill and Lincoln, only those who \who uphold a committed and focused will and spirit, will find their endeavors successful. Many artists, statesmen, writers and inventors have had the same experience. They achieved prosperity because they possessed a fierce will to keep preparing and working and a passion to succeed. They attained success, not because it was easy, but because they had the will to overcome profound obstacles and to work diligently in the pursuit of their goals.
