Book 3Unit 1A. Pages 1-3: Translate the text一个年轻人发现，漫无目的地在街上闲逛也会带来涉及法律问题的麻烦。
一种误解导致另一种误解，直到最终他必须在法庭上接受审判。
法律小冲突我生平只有一次陷入与法律的冲突。
被捕与被带上法庭的整个经过在当时是一种令人极不愉快的经历，但现在这却成为一个好故事的素材。
尤其令我恼怒的是我被捕及随后在法庭上受审时的种种武断情形。
事情大约发生在十二年前的二月，那是我中学毕业已经几个月了，但要等到十月份才能上大学，所以当时我仍在家中。
一天上午，我来到离我住地不远的、位于伦敦郊区的里士满。
那是我正在找一份临时的工作，以便赚点钱去旅游。
由于天气晴朗，又没什么急事，我便悠然自得得看着商店橱窗，逛逛公园，有时干脆停下来四处观望，一定是这种无所事事的样子使我倒了霉。
事情发生在十一点半左右，我在当地图书馆谋职未成，刚从那出发，就看到一个人从马路对面走过来，显然是想跟我说话。
我原以为他要问我时间，想不到，他说他是警官，要逮捕我，开始我还以为这是个玩笑，但接着又来了身穿警服的警察，这下我无可置疑了。
“为什么要抓我？”我问。
“四处游荡，有作案嫌疑。
”他说。
“做什么案？”我又问。
“偷东西。
”他说。
“偷什么？”我追问。
“牛奶瓶。
”他说，表情十分严肃。
“哦。
”我说。
事情后来是这样的，这一带经常发生小偷小摸案件，尤其是从门前台阶上偷走牛奶瓶。
接着，我犯了个大错。
那时我才十九岁，留着一头凌乱的长发，自认为是六十年代“青年反主流文化”的一员。
因此，我想对此表现出一种冷漠，满不在乎的态度，于是用一种很随便无所谓的腔调说：“你们跟踪我多久了？”这样一来，在他们眼里，我是惯于此种情形的，这又使他们确信我是一个彻头彻尾的坏蛋。
几分钟后，来了一辆警车。
“坐到后面去，”他们说，“把手放在前排的座椅上，不许乱动。
”他俩分坐在我的左右，这下了不是闹着玩的了。
在警察局，他们审问了我好几个小时。

第三课迈克尔·戴尔20亿美元梦想1.1977年的一天下午，当迈克·戴尔的父母和两个兄弟在墨西哥湾垂钓时，12岁的他坐在沙滩上，费尽心思地整理一根鱼线，这可以系好几个鱼钩一团乱绳。
“你是在浪费时间，”当家人收竿时，向迈克尔喊道。
“拿起鱼竿，享受乐趣吧！”2.迈克尔继续干着。
当他整理完的时候已经是晚饭时间了，其他人都准备休息了。
但是，这个年轻人却将鱼线远远的抛入水中，并将它固定在了一个深深插入土里的木棍上。
3.整个晚餐期间，家人都在拿小迈克尔开心，说他只能两手空空。
可是后来，当迈克尔收起鱼线时，鱼钩上却挂满了比其他所有人钓的加起来还要多的鱼！4.迈克尔·戴尔总是喜欢说，“如果你有好的想法，就去试试吧！”今天，在他29岁的时候，他已经发现了另一个好点子的巨大力量，这使得他在短短的几年间由一个十几岁的少年一跃成为了超级大亨。
他已成为美国个人电脑第四大生产商，而且是迄今为止世界五百强企业里最年轻的领军人物。
5.迈克尔和他的两个兄弟是在休斯敦长大的，他们深受父母的熏陶，具有强烈的求知欲和努力工作的动力。
即便如此，关于这个小男孩的故事还是早早传开了。
6.就象那次，当一位女推销员前来，要求和“迈克尔·戴尔先生”谈论关于他购买高中同等学历证书的事情。
片刻之后，8岁大的迈克尔解释说，也许这是一个非同一般的获得高中学历的好办法。
7.几年后，他又有了一个好主意，在邮票杂志上刊登广告来经销邮票。
他因此赚了2000美元，并用这笔钱买了自己的第一台个人电脑。
然后，他把电脑拆开以研究它的工作原理。
8.高中时，迈克尔曾为《休斯敦邮报》做过推销订阅的工作。
他认为，新婚夫妇是最佳的销售对象，所以他雇佣了一些朋友去抄写那些新近领取结婚证书的人的姓名和地址。
把这些资料都输入电脑，然后再发出私人信件（印有自己姓名和地址的信件），为每一对夫妇免费订阅两个星期的报纸。
9.这一次，戴尔赚取了18，000美元，然后买了一部宝马车。
