Lesson OneText A Failure? No! Just Temporary SetbacksDottie Walters1 If you could come to my office in California to visit with me today, you would see that one side of the room is occupied by a beautiful old-fashioned soda fountain with nine leather-covered seats. Unusual? Yes. But if that soda fountain could speak, it would tell you a story about the day I almost lost hope and gave up.2It was a recession period after World War II and jobs were scarce. My husband had purchased a small dry cleaning business with borrowed money. We had two darling babies, a tract house, a car and all the usual monthly payments. Then the bottom fell out. There was no money for the house payments or anything else.3I felt that I had no special talent, no training, no c ollege education. I didn‟t think much of myself. But I remembered someone in my past who had thought I had a little ability — my high school English teacher. She had inspired me to take a course in journalism and named me advertising manager and feature editor of the school paper.I thought, “Now if I could write a …shoppers Column‟ for the small weekly newspaper in our rural town, maybe I could earn that house payment.4I had no car and no one to look after my two children. So I took them with me to the newspaper office, pushing them before me in an old broken-down baby stroller with a big pillow tied in the back. The wheel kept coming off, but I hit it back on with the heel of my shoe and kept going. I was determined that my children would not lose their home as I often had as a child.5 But at the newspaper office, there were no jobs available. Recession. So I got an idea. I asked if I might buy advertising space at wholesale and sell it at retail as a “shoppers Column.” They agreed.6 The newspaper column idea worked. I made enough money for the house payment and to buy an old used car. Then I hired a high school girl to look after my children from three to five each afternoon. When the clock struck three, I grabbed my advertising samples and flew out of the door to drive to my appointments.7 But on one dark rainy afternoon every advertising prospect I had worked on turned me down when I went to pick up their ads.8 “Why?” I asked. They said they had noticed that Ruben Ahlman, the president of the Cha mber of Commerce and the owner of a big drugstore, didn‟t advertise with me. His store was the most popular in town. They respected his judgment. “There must be something wrong with your advertising,” they explained.9 My heart sank. Those four ads would have been enough for the monthly house payment. Then I thought, I‟ll try to speak with Mr. Ahlman one more time. Everyone loves and respects him. Surely he‟ll listen. Every time I‟d tried to approach him in the past, he had refused to see me. But I knew that if he advertised with me, the other merchants in town would follow his lead.10 As I walked into Mr. Ahlman‟s drugstore, he was there at the prescription counter.I smiled my best smile and said, “Everyone respects your opinion, Mr. Ahlman. Would you just look at my work for a moment so that I can tell the other merchants what you think?”11 Without saying a word he firmly shook his head “no”.12 Suddenly all of my enthusiasm left me. I made it as far as the beautiful old soda fountain at the front of t he drugstore, feeling that I didn‟t have the strength to drive home. I didn‟t want to sit at the soda fountain without buying something, so I ordered a Coke. I wondered desperately what to do. Would my babies lose their home as I had so many times when I was growing up? Was my English teacher wrong? My eyes filled with tears.13 A soft voice beside me said, “What‟s the matter, dear?” I looked up into the sympathetic face of a lovely gray-haired lady. I poured out my story to her, ending it with, “But Mr. Ahlman, who everyone respects so much, refuses to look at my work.”14 “Let me see that Shoppers Column,” she said. She took my marked issue of the newspaper in her hands and carefully read my column all the way through. Then she stood up, looked back at the prescription counter and in a commanding voice, said, ”Ruben Ahlman, come here!” The lady was Mrs. Ahlman!15 She told Ruben to buy some advertising from me. His mouth turned up in a big grin. Then she asked me for the names of the four merchants who had turned me down. She went to the phone and called each one. She gave me a hug and told me they were waiting for me.16 Ruben and Vivian Ahlman became our dear friends, as well as steady advertising customers. I learned that Ruben was a darling man who bought from everyone. He had promised Vivian not to buy any more advertising, and in turning me down he was just trying to keep his word to her. If I had only asked others in town, I might have learned that I should have been talking to Mrs. Ahlman from the beginning. That conversation at the soda fountain was the turning point. My advertising business thrived and grew into four offices, with 285 employees serving 4,000 businesses.17 Later when Mr. Ahlman modernized the old drug store and removed the soda fou ntain, my husband bought it and installed it in my office. If you were here, we‟d sit at the soda fountain together. I‟d pour you a Coke and remind you to never give up, to remember that help is always closer than we know.18 Then I would tell you that if you can‟t communicate with a key person, search for more information. Try another path. Look for someone who can communicate for you. And, finally, I would offer you the sparkling, refreshing words of Bill Marriott of the Marriott Hotels: “Failure? I‟ve n ever encountered it. All I ever met were temporary setbacks.”Notes to the text1.About the author:Dottie Walters was the president of Walters International SpeakersBureau as well as a founding member of the National Speakers Association (NSA) and founder of the International Association of Speakers Bureaus (IASB). She began a tiny advertising business on foot, pushing 2 babies in a broken down baby stroller, in a ruralcommunity with no sidewalks. She built that business into 4 offices, 285 employees, and 4,000 continuous contract advertising accounts. An internationally renowned speaker, author and speaking career consultant, she helped pioneer this industry as well shaped the world of public speaking as we know it today. She has been interviewed on CNN, ABC, Good Morning America and hundreds of other TV and radio programs, newspapers and magazines worldwide.2.soda fountain: a counter equipped for preparing and serving soft drinks, ice-cream dishes, orsandwiches.3.recession: a downward trend in the business cycle characterized by a decline in productionand employment, which in turn causes the incomes and spending of families to decline. Even though not all families and businesses experience actual decline in income, their expectations about the future become less certain during a recession and cause them to delay making larger purchases or investments.4.tract house: a residential house built to a common or frequently repeated design as part of ahousing development. Tract housing (also known as cookie-cutter housing) is a style of housing development in which multiple identical or nearly-identical homes are built on a tract of land which is subdivided into individual lots. Tract housing developments are typically found in North American suburbs that were modeled on the "Levittown" concept and sometimes encompass large areas of dozens of square miles.5.feature editor: A newspaper or magazine feature editor ensures that their publication is fullof entertaining, informative and newsworthy articles. The responsibilities can include: generating ideas for features, commissioning work by freelance writers, editing and proofreading, managing writing staff and liaising with artists and photographers. Feature editors do not always need specialist knowledge of the subject they cover, unless the content is highly technical, although an interest in the subject is usually expected.6.advertising space: (part of) a page in a publication (as a newspaper) set aside for advertising7.Chamber of Commerce: an association of businesspersons and merchants for the promotionof commercial interests in the community.8.Marriott Hotel(万豪酒店),or Marriott International, Inc., is a worldwide operator andfranchisor of a broad portfolio of hotels and related lodging facilities.

Try to summarize the story by identifying the 5 whs and the 4 elements.Word studyAn affix is a morpheme that is attached to a word stem to form a new word. Affixes may be derivational, like English -ness and pre-, or inflectional, like English plural -s and past tense -ed. They are bound morphemes by definition; prefixes and suffixes may be separable affixes. Affixation is, thus, the linguistic process speakers use to form new words (neologisms) by adding sounds (affixes) at the beginning (prefixation), the middle (infixation) or the end (suffixation) of words.Below is a list of some commonly occurring stems and affixes. Study their meanings. Your teacher may ask you to give examples of other words you know that are derived from these stems and affixes. Then do the exercises that follow.Prefixes:pseudo-: (forming adjectives and nouns) not authentic, false…pseudonym, pseudonymous, pseudo-intellectual, pseudo-science, pseudo-eventdia-: (forming nouns and adjectives) through, across…diameter, diagram, dialogue, diagnosis, diaphanousepi-: (forming adjectives and nouns) upon, over, after…epidemic, epigram, epilogue, episode, epitomemal-: (forming adjectives, nouns, and verbs) bad, badly, abnormal, abnormal…malcontent, malpractice, malnutrition, malodor, maltreat, malformation, malfuntiontele-: (forming nouns and verbs) far…telephone, telecommunication, telegram, television, telescope, telegraph, telemeterStems:-spir-: breathe… aspire, inspire, conspire, respire, respiration, perspire-vent-: come… convention, contravention, adventure, eventual,-voc-, -vok-: call, voice… evoke, advocate, vocalist, convoke, provocativeSuffixes:-ic: relating to, having the nature of … electric, scientific, atomic, systematic, dramatic, idiomatic,sympathetic, periodic, chaotic, fanatic, septic, romantic, charismatic,dogmatic-ics: subject… phonics, physics, statistics, tactics, economics, acousticsExercise 1In each item, select the best definition of the italicized word or phrase.A.Eric Blair wrote under the pseudonym of George Orwell.a. nicknameb. pen-namec. false named. pet-nameB.
