新视野大学英语读写教程 unit3 课文与单词（New horizons College English reading and writing course Unit3 text and words）一颗善良的心比我意识到的还要多，爸爸帮助我保持了平衡。
在我成长的过程中，我很尴尬地被人看见和我父亲在一起。
他严重残废，个子很矮，当我们走在一起，他的手在我的手臂上保持平衡时，人们会盯着我看。
我会在不必要的注意力中挣扎。
如果他注意到或感到烦恼，他从不泄露。
很难协调我们的步骤——他停滞不前，我不耐烦——正因为如此，我们一边走一边不说什么。
但当我们出发时，他总是说：“你定了速度。
”。
我会尽量适应你的。
”我们通常步行去或从他去上班的地铁上去。
尽管天气恶劣，他还是去上班了。
他几乎从不错过一天，即使别人不能，他也会去办公室。
骄傲的事。
当雪或冰在地上时，即使有人帮助，他也不可能走路。
在这样的时刻，我或我的姐妹们把他拉过布鲁克林区，N.Y.的街道上，在地铁出入口与钢轮的婴儿车。
一到那儿，他就抓住扶手，一直走到较低的台阶上，温暖的隧道空气没有结冰。
在曼哈顿，地铁站是他办公楼的地下室，在我们回家的路上，在布鲁克林区遇到他后，他就不必再出去了。
当我想到这件事时，我惊讶地发现，一个成年男子要承受这样的羞辱和压力，必须有多大的勇气。
他是如何做到这一点的，没有怨恨和抱怨。
他从不把自己说成是一个可怜的对象，也没有嫉妒过那些幸运或能干的人。
他在别人身上寻找的是一颗“善良的心”，如果他找到了一个，主人对他来说已经足够好了。
现在我长大了，我相信这是判断人的适当标准，尽管我还不知道什么是“好心肠”。
但我知道我自己没有时间。
由于无法参加许多活动，我父亲仍然试图以某种方式参与。
当一个当地棒球队发现自己没有教练时，他就坚持下去。
他是一个见多识广的棒球迷，他过去常带我地埃比茨棒球场观看布鲁克林道奇队的比赛。
他喜欢去参加舞会和聚会，在那里他可以坐着看。

第一单元永不放弃1 英国的伟大首相温斯顿丘吉尔爵士：小时候在哈罗公学上学。
当时他可不是个好学生：要不是出身名门：他可能早就因为违反纪律被开除了。
谢天谢地：他总算从哈罗毕业了：在那里犯下的错误并没有影响到他上大学。
后来：他凭着军旅生涯中的杰出变现当选为英国首相。
他的才思、智慧、公民责任感以及在二战痛苦而黑暗的时期拒绝投降的无畏勇气：为他赢得了美名。
他非凡的决心：不仅激励了整个民族：还鼓舞了全世界。
2在他首相任期即将结束时：他应邀前往母校哈罗公学：为满怀报国之志的同学们做演讲。
校长说~校长说；“年轻的先生们：当代最伟大的演说家过几天就会你们演讲：他提出的任何中肯的建议：你们都要听从。
”那个激动人心的日子终于到了。
温斯顿伯爵站了起来——他只有5英尺5英寸高：体重却有107公斤。
他做了言简意赅的讲话：永不放弃：永不：永不：永不：永不，“3 个人经历、教育机会、个人困境：这些都不能阻挡一个全力以赴追求成功的、有着坚强意志的人。
任务再苦：准备再长：难度再大：都不能让他放弃自己的追求。
就以本时代最有学问的两位科学家——阿尔伯特?爱因斯坦和托马斯?.爱迪生为例：他们都曾面临巨大的障碍和极端的批评：都曾被说成“不开窍”：被老师当成笨蛋：而放弃。
托马斯爱迪生还曾逃学：老师因为嫌他问的问题太多而经常鞭打他。
爱因斯坦一直到将近9岁才能流利的说话：学习成绩太差：有些人认为他都已经学不好了。
然而：这两个男孩的父母都相信他们：他们坚持不懈的每天和儿子一起努力：孩子们也了解到：要想成功就绝不要怕付出长期而艰辛的努力。
最终：爱因斯坦和爱迪生都摆脱了童年的困扰：进而做出了造福当今全世界的伟大发现。
4 再如亚伯拉罕?林肯这个英雄的典范：他一生面临了无数艰辛：失败和接二连三的不幸。
他的出身和经历真是一点也算不上光鲜：他在一个非常贫困的家庭长大：只受过一年正规教育：轻伤两度失败初恋爱人的突然离世也使他精神崩溃：还在八次政治选举中落马。
此后他的4个孩子有3个不幸去世：令他悲痛欲绝。

Fred Smith and FedEx: The vision that changed the world1 Every night several hundred planes bearing a purple, white, and orange design touch down at Memphis Airport, in Tennessee. What precedes this landing are package pick-ups from locations all over the United States earlier in the day. Crews unload the planes' cargo of more than half a million parcels and letters. The rectangular packages and envelopes are rapidly reshuffled and sorted according to address, then loaded onto other aircraft, and flown to their destinations to be dispersed by hand – many within 24 hours of leaving their senders. This is the culmination of a dream of Frederick W. Smith, the founder, president, chief executive officer, and chairman of the board of the FedEx Corp. –known originally as Federal Express –the largest and most successful overnight delivery service in the world. Conceived when he was in college and now in its 28th year of operation, Smith's exquisite brainchild has become the standard for door-to-door package delivery.1 每天夜晚，在田纳西州的孟菲斯机场，都有几百架带着白、紫、桔色图案的飞机降落。
而在每天此前的早些时候，这些飞机都在美国各地收集包裹。
工作人员从飞机上卸下的包裹及信件数量超过五十万之巨。
长方形的包裹和信封又在这里依据收件地址被迅速整理分拣，然后装载上其他飞机，飞往各自的目的地，在那儿再由人工投递——到这时很多邮件离开寄件人之手还不到24小时。
这是弗雷德里克・W. 史密斯的终极梦想，他就是联邦快递集团（最初为联邦快递）这一全球最大、最成功的隔夜送达服务企业的创始人、总裁、首席执行官及董事会主席。
如今，史密斯这一源于大学时代的妙想已在现实中经营到了第28个年头，并已成为包裹快递入户行业的标杆。
2 Recognized as an outstanding entrepreneur with an agreeable and winning personality, Smith is held in high regard by his competitors as well ashis employees and stockholders. Fred Smith was just 27 when he founded FedEx. Now, so many years later, he's still the "captain of the ship". He attributes the success of the company simply to leadership, something he deduced from his years in the military, and from his family.2 史密斯被公认为是一位和蔼可亲、性格迷人的杰出企业家。
无论是他的竞争者、员工，还是他公司股票的持有人，都对他十分敬重。
弗雷德・史密斯创建“联邦快递”时只有27岁。
现在多年过去了，他仍然坐在“掌门人”的位置上。
他将公司的成功简单地归因于领导力，而这一推论则来自于他的军旅生涯及其家庭的影响。
3 Frederick Wallace Smith was born into a wealthy family clan on August 11, 1944 in Mississippi. His father died when he was just four years old. As a juvenile, Smith was an invalid, suffering from a disease that left him unable to walk normally. He was picked on by bullies, and he learned to defend himself by swinging at them with his alloy walking stick. Cured of the disease by the age of 10, he became a star athlete in high school, playing football, basketball, and baseball.3 弗雷德里克・华莱士・史密斯1944年8月11日出生于密西西比州一个富裕的家族。
他四岁时父亲就离世了。
史密斯年少时被视为病残者，因为他得了一种病，使他无法正常行走。
为此他常遭受坏孩子的侮辱捉弄，他学会了挥舞合金拐杖来保护自己。
十岁时他的病治好了，到了高中他则成了学校里的体育明星，足球、篮球、棒球样样能行。
4 Smith's passion was flying. At 15, he was operating a crop-duster over the skyline of the Mississippi Delta, a terrain so flat that there was little need for radar navigation. As a student at Yale University, he helped revive the Yale flying club; its alumni had populated naval aviation history, including thefamous "Millionaires' Unit" in World War I. Smith administrated the club's business end and ran a small charter operation in New Haven.4 史密斯对飞行充满了激情。
15岁时，他就曾驾驶一架作物喷粉飞机在密西西比三角洲的天际翱翔，三角洲的地形平坦开阔，甚至都不需要雷达导航。
在耶鲁大学上学时，他参与重建了耶鲁飞行俱乐部，在美国海军航空史的每个时期都有这一俱乐部出来的校友的身影，包括一战时期著名的“百万富翁飞行队”。
史密斯负责管理俱乐部的事务，同时还在纽黑文经营一项小规模的租赁业务。
5 With his study time disrupted by flying, his academic performance suffered, but Smith never stopped looking for his own "big idea". He thought he had found it when he wrote a term paper for an economics class. He drafted a prototype for a transportation company that would guarantee overnight delivery of small, time-sensitive goods, such as replacement parts and medical supplies, to major US regions. The professor wasn't impressed and told Smith he couldn't quantify the idea and clearly it wasn't feasible.5 由于飞行打乱了学习时间，他的学业受到了影响，但史密斯从未停止寻找自己的“伟大想法”。
在撰写一门经济学课程的学期论文时，他认为自己已经找到了它。
他设计了一份运输企业的经营草案，该运输企业可以确保连夜递送小型或时间紧迫的货品到达美国的主要地区, 如替换零件、医药用品等等。
教授对这篇论文未予重视，他告诉史密斯说，他无法量化他的想法，并说这一想法明显不切合实际。
6 However, Smith was certain he was onto something, even though several more years elapsed before he could turn his idea into reality. In the interim, he graduated from Yale in 1966, just as America's involvement in the Vietnam War was deepening. Since he was a patriot and had attended officers' training classes, he joined the Marines.6 然而，史密斯确信自己已经发现了些什么，尽管又过了好几年他才得以把自己的想法付诸实施。
在此期间，他于1966年从耶鲁大学毕业，那时正值美国在越战中越陷越深，而他是个充满爱国热情的人，又参加过士官训练课程，所以他加入了美国海军陆战队。
7 Smith completed two tours in Vietnam, eventually flying more than 200 missions. "In the military, leadership means getting a group of people to subordinate their individual desires and ambitions for the achievement of organizational goals," Smith says, fusing together his military and business experiences. "And good leadership has very measurable effects on a company's bottom line."7 史密斯在越南战场上服役两期，完成了两百多次飞行任务。
