请阅读下面一篇短文,并按照要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章。

Reading a paper book may be a forgotten luxury (奢侈) for many people thanks to today’s busy lifestyles, but listening to a book, while shopping or jogging is a growing trend. Now, audio books can be easily downloaded from the Internet at the same, if not lower, prices as the print editions.

Mary Beth Roche, publisher of Macmillan Audio, says many of their readers use audio books as a “multitasking tool”, a way to consume books when their eyes are busy. For others, whose work may involve spending lots of time looking at the screen, audio books are a way to relax. “It’s sort of nice to sit back and have a story told to you,” said Roche.

In the United States, audio books have long been a serious business, simply because Americans on average spend so much time in their cars. “It is a good way for consumers to make the time in traffic quality time,” said Roche. “Even way back when it was the cassette and then the CD, the number one place where people listened was in car. When audio books became available in the digital format, people started using them during other activities—when they are shopping, jogging, performing household tasks and so on.

The GREATEST Journey

I had lunch last week with a high-ranking business woman for a fortune 500 company. I asked her what tips she would give to someone early in their career. Without hesitation she jumped right into four keys to her professional climb:

Know your business. Never get satisfaction with your industry or your position. In most cases, the knowledge you hold now is not good enough to stand the test of time. Thus, you must keep working to stay on top of what’s new and what’s coming down the pipeline. This is what really counts, especially early in a professional career, as many entry level associates are content to be gainfully employed.

Pick careers with care. Again, early in your career it is easy to run after the job that offers the most money. In the case of a life-long career money cannot answer all things. If you are going to be an entrepreneur then you’ll probably start with a budget of zero. Yet, if you have the discipline, working for yourself could be the best choice you’ve ever made.

If you are going to work for a company you have to do your homework. If you find a company that consists with your values and produces a product that you 100% believe in, then you’ll have an easy time giving that organization your all.

Be personable. If everyone hates to be around you at the office, it’s time to check your attitude. We’ve all heard at least one anecdote about a great thinker with great skills who drove coworkers crazy. Someway, somehow many of the brightest and best lack the “people skills” to advance beyond an entry-level position.

In short, you must have the interpersonal insight to interact with internal and external contacts. If not, you may find that you are unimportant once someone with soft-skills joins the organization. Why? People have to buy you before they ever buy the product you’re selling.

Be willing to move. This is where I got puzzled. She shared how she lived in seven states still working for the same organization.

Much is made of moving in today’s attempts to climb the corporate ladder. As more and more companies extend to have a global reach, it is easy to understand why new opportunities birth in various locations.

Whatever the path, outline in your heart what destination you hope to reach and this will be a key indicator as to which journey will be greatest for you.

    Shelly hugged her husband."Be careful, Billy."

"Come on, Shell!" Bill rolled his eyes. "You worry too much, Honey. Me and the boys will be OK. It's just a three — day trip. We'll catch enough halibut to be able to fix up the baby's room the way you want it." '

"Billy, I love you and worry every time you go to sea, especially in winter."

"Shell, I promise I'll be careful. I may be the youngest captain in this port, but I'm the most careful. I learned at the helm of Daddy's boat, which I was practically raised on."

They hugged again. Bill planted a tender kiss on her cheek, rested his open palm on her slightly swollen stomach, "Besides, I need to be here. Little Billy will need his daddy." Shelly slapped him on the shoulder. "It's Billy Jean and you know it.”

Bill laughed, "Not on my watch, Girl. I gave you a boy to take over as captain."

Their laughter broke the tension. "I have to go, Shell. See you in a few days?" He turned to leave and then turned back, reached into the pocket of his heavy coat and pulled out an envelope."I almost forgot. Here's my letter?"

Shelly took the crisp envelope and slipped into the pocket of her dress. "ThanksBilly.” It had been their custom since they started dating. Billy gave her a note before he went to sea. She wasn't allowed to open it until the next day. He usually wrote of love or sometimes something silly - both made her smile. She wrote a reply and left it on the kitchen table for him. Reading her reply was the first thing he did when he came home.

She watched as her husband walked the'length of the pier to where the forty-five foot “Shelly Girl” and his crew waited. He gave a final wave and climbed aboard.

Shelly stood by their pickup truck and watched until the boat rounded the point and disappeared from view. "I love you, Billy.” she whispered. "Be safe."

That evening, five hundred miles to the south, a small winter depression moved north along the Atlantic coast of the USA. Experts found an unexpected change in the jet stream, which would make the small depression become a raging winter storm.

Shelly woke in the morning and listened to the weather report on the battered radio sitting on kitchen table. The phone rang."Hello."

“Shelly?"

"Hi, Gail!" She recognized the voice of her friend, who was the wife of one of Billy's crew. “Have you heard the weather?"

"Hang on a second. I just turned the radio on." Shelly's face paled as she heard the weather person say a major winter depression had moved into the area. "Oh crap!"

"That's what [ said too.”

"They'll be OK, Gail. They're experienced fishermen." Shelly said to Gail It was a attempt to convince herself that her man would be safe.

Off the south shore of Nova Scotia, Bill struggled to control the Shelly Girl in the growing waves. Wind and water attacked Bill and his crew from all directions. The forty- and fifty-foot walls of water were too much of a challenge for the young captain.

The force of the water flipped the boat over, tore the wheelhouse off and tossed Bill and his crew into the icy Atlantic.

The water, only a few degrees above the freezing point, soon overcame Bill's will to live. “Shelly!

He took a last painful breath of salt water and slipped below the surface.

The crisp envelope bent beneath her fingers as she laid it on her lap and read. "Shelly, you are my life,, my love and soon-to-be mother of our songirl if that is what you really want. I'll always come home."

Shelly reached for the pen in her dress pocket. Tears dripped from her face and stained the paper she wrote on, “________."
