Cameron thought of himself as merely organized.He certainly did not consider that he took great pains over anything ,he did just enough to get it right.Exactly right, of course as he was fond of telling his staff, “if it’s not exactly right, it’s wrong”.Occasionally a worker might be sad on hearing these words, because it meant another hour or so of going over the same bit of work, correcting the mistakes which Cameron had patiently pointed out.And doing the corrections exactly right of学科网(www.zxxk.com)--教育资源门户,提供试卷、教案、课件、论文、素材及各类教学资源下载,还有大量而丰富的教学相关资讯! course.

Strangely enough ,his department had the reputation for performing the highest quality work in the company ,and it was seen, and not only by those who worked in the department ,as a sort of elite(出类拔萃)unit.Those programs that had to work first time, straight out of the box, Cameron’s men got those.“It’s mission(任务)critical—give it to Cameron” was almost a catch—phrase with his team.

It helped that Cameron was not merely particular about things.He wanted things done just so ,not because of a personal taste ,but because he had discovered through patient experimentation that this was the best way for it to be done.

Lightning flashed through the darkness over Donald Lubeck’s bedroom skylight.The 80-year-old retired worker was shaken by a blast of thunder.It was 11 p.m.The storm had moved directly over his two-story wood home in the rural town of Belchertown, Massachusetts.Then he heard the smoke alarm beeping.Lubeck padded down the stairs barefoot and opened the door to the basement, and flames exploded out.

Lubeck fled back upstairs to call 119 from his bedroom ,but the phone didn’t work.Lubeck realized he was trapped.“I started panicking,” he says.

His daughter and young gra学科网(www.zxxk.com)--教育资源门户,提供试卷、教案、课件、论文、素材及各类教学资源下载,还有大量而丰富的教学相关资讯!nddaughters ,who lived with him ,were away for the night.No one will even know I’m home, he thought.His house was three miles off the main road and so well hidden by pines that Lubeck knew calling for help would be fruitless.

Up a hill about a third of a mile away lived Lubeck’s closest neighbors, Jeremie Wentworth and his wife.Wentworth had been lying down, listening to the radio when it occurred to him that the sound was more like a smoke detector.He jumped out of bed ,grabbed a cordless phone and a flashlight, and headed down the hillside toward the noise.

He dialed 119“Is anyone there?” he called out as he approached the house.Wentworth knew that Lubeck lived in the house.

Then he heard ,“Help me! I’m  trapped!” coming from the balcony off Lubeck’s bedroom.

“I ran in and yelled, ‘Don, where are you ?’Then I had to run outside 学科网(www.zxxk.com)--教育资源门户,提供试卷、教案、课件、论文、素材及各类教学资源下载,还有大量而丰富的教学相关资讯!to catch my breath.”

After one more attempt inside the house, he gave up and circled around back.But there was no way to get to him.“I shined the flashlight into the woods next to an old shed and noticed a adder,” says Wentworth.He dragged it over to the balcony and pulled Lubeck down just as the second floor of the house collapsed.

Wentworth and Lubeck don’t run into each other regularly, but Lubeck now knows that if he ever needs help学科网(www.zxxk.com)--教育资源门户,提供试卷、教案、课件、论文、素材及各类教学资源下载,还有大量而丰富的教学相关资讯! ,Wentworth will be there.

I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a freight yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head.Now I am thirty two.I can slightly remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is.It woul学科网(www.zxxk.com)--教育资源门户,提供试卷、教案、课件、论文、素材及各类教学资源下载,还有大量而丰富的教学相关资讯!d be wonderful to see again, but a calamity(灾难) can do strange things to people.It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn't been blind.I believe in life now.I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise.I don't mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes.I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left.

学科网(www.zxxk.com)--教育资源门户,提供试卷、教案、课件、论文、素材及各类教学资源下载,还有大量而丰富的教学相关资讯!The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself.That was basic.If I hadn't been able to do that, I would have collapsed and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life.When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone.That is part of it.But I mean something bigger than that: an assurance that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the sweeping, intricate(错综复杂的) pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.

It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance.It had to start with the simplest things.Once a man gave me an indoor baseball.I thought he was making fun of me and I was hurt."I can't use this." I said."Take it with you," he urged me, "and roll it around." The words stuck in my head."Roll it around! "By rolling the ball I could hear where it went.This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball.At Philadelphia's Overbrook School for the Blind I invented a successful variation of baseball.We called it ground ball.

All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time.I had to learn my limitations.It was no good trying for something that I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure.I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.
