If you lose 12 times in a row (连续地), will you just give up? Dale Carnegie, a pioneer in public speaking and self-development, kept trying. And he became famous by showing people how to be successful.
Carnegie was born into a poor family in the United States. The boy didn’t see a train until he was 12 years old. In his teens, he had to get up at 3 am every day to milk the cows for his family.
When Carnegie first entered college, he felt upset because of his ragged (破旧的) clothes and ordinary(平凡的) looks. His mother encouraged him, “Why not try to be better in other things instead of just dress and good looks?”
Carnegie tried to be more active in college. He joined the debate (辩论) team. But one after another, he lost 12 competitions. The young man was very disappointed with himself. He said later that he thought of killing himself after failing so many times. But soon Carnegie was seen practicing public speaking on the riverside. His hard work paid off at last. In 1906, Carnegie won a famous speech contest and became well-known. “Believe that you will succeed, and you will,” he said.
In order to share his success, Carnegie opened schools and wrote books. His best-sellers(畅销书) include How to Win Friends and Influence People and How to Stop Worrying and Start Living. More than 50 million copies of his books have been translated in 38 languages. They are still helping people on the road to success.
What did Carnegie have to do every morning in his teens?
Why did Carnegie feel upset when he first entered college?
What did Carnegie do to be more active in college?
What did Carnegie do after failing so many times?
Did Carnegie share his success and help people to succeed?

Once a small boy lived on a farm which seemed so far away from everywhere.
He needed to get up before sunrise every morning to help his father on the farm. During sunrise he would take a break and climb up on the fence(篱笆) along the side of the farm. He could see a house with golden windows. “If they could afford golden windows, then there must be other nice things inside the house.” He imagined how great it would be to live there. Then he promised himself, “Some day I will go there and see this wonderful place.”
One morning, his father would go to the town and told him to stay at home for a rest. Knowing that this was his chance, he took a sandwich and headed across the field towards the house with the golden windows.
As the afternoon went on, he began to realize how wrong he was. The house was much farther than he had expected. As he went near the house, he saw no golden windows but instead a place in bad need of painting. A small girl very close to his age came out of the poor house and stood by the broken fence. He asked her if she had seen the house with the golden windows.
The girl said, “Sure, I know.” and invited him to sit on the porch(门廊). As he sat there, he looked back from where he just came. There he saw the sunset(夕阳) turned the windows of his house to gold! Now he understood that everyone had his own house with golden windows.

Have you ever heard of a mobile phone company called Nokia? And do you know that there’s a mobile phone throwing competition in Finland every year?
In order to recycle old mobile phones, the town of Savonlinna in southeast Finland holds a Mobile Phone Throwing Competition every year. And people can have a little fun from the games.
While competitors cannot throw their own phones, the competition organizers provide hundreds of mobiles to choose from. Then people throw as far as possible from the throwing area. Last year’s winner Ere Karjalainen set a world record with his 101.46m throw. As a prize, he got a chance of drinking and practiced again as his preferred training methods.
Those without a strong throwing arm can enter the freestyle competition. During the competition, the style of the throw are judged (判断) rather than the distance. A three-person jury (评委) gives scores from one to six, and the thrower with the highest number of points wins.
This Year’s competition will be held on August 24. Sign-ups(报名注册) are still being accepted for five dollars per person or two dollars for children 12 and under. Once all the day’s phones have been thrown, they are taken to a recycling center.

A little stream (小溪) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert,“I went through so many difficulties.

At this time, a deep voice said,“if a breeze (微风) can cross the desert, so can a river.”It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered,“that’s because a breeze can fly, but I can’t.”
“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze, and it can take you across,”said the desert.
“Give up what I am now? No! No!”The little stream could not accept this idea.
