Carl Rowan was born in 1925 in the southern city of Ravenscroft, Tennessee. His family was very poor.    
Growing up, Carl had very little hope for any change. There were not many jobs for blacks in the South.     Racial tensions were high. Laws were enforced to keep blacks and white separate.
It was a teacher who urged Carl to make something of himself.     She urged him to write as much as possible. She would even get books for him because blacks were banned from public libraries.
Carl entered Tennessee State College in 1942. Carl Rowan did so well in college that he was chosen by the United States navy to become one of the first fifteen black navy officers. In 1948, Carl Rowan became a reporter. He was one of the first black reporters to write for a major daily newspaper. As a young reporter, he covered racial tensions in the South of the USA and the war in the Middle East. He also reported from Europe, India and other parts of Asia.     In 1987, Carl Rowan created a program called "Project Excellence", which rewards black students who do well in school.

Dear Sir,
I have to travel every day from So UK Road to the airport. Two buses travel along this route No.49 and No.16. However, by the time No.16 reaches So UK Road, it’s always full.___ The timetable states that there are buses from So UK Road to the airport every ten minutes._____ The instructions state that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting._______
The instructions state that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday, I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. ____. There were 129 of them.
Clearly printed on the back of every bus is a sign that says “Maximum speed 50mph.” ___ Saturday morning a No.49 bus travelled the distance in ten minutes, at an average speed of 60mph. At times it must have done at least 80 or even 90 mph.
It is obvious that our bus companies have neither respect for the instructions nor consideration for their passengers. Can nothing be done about this?

I met Rose, my new classmate, on the first day of college. To my surprise, she was already 87 years old. "Why are you in college at such a young age?" I joked. "I'm here to meet a rich man, get married, have two children, and then retire and travel." She answered.
Like young students, Rose was outgoing, kind and helpful. Soon she became a superstar in our college.
At the end of the term, Rose was invited to give us a speech. I will never forget what she said to us, "There are only four secrets to staying young and achieving success."
"First, you have to laugh and find humor(幽默感) every day. Then, you need to have a dream. Next, find any chance to change yourself. Finally, people shouldn't have regrets(遗憾) for things they didn't do."
Over 2 000 students went to her funeral(葬礼) to express their love to the wonderful woman.

Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more positive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone.
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.
Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately.Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.

A.To fight family laziness, set an example.
B.Knowing how to fight laziness is important.
C.One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
D.Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.

E. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.
F. Laziness appears when you no longer feel in charge of your own mind.
G. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.
