Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day Robert and Henry were going home from school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let’s go and see!”
“No,” said Henry. “Let us go quietly home and not meddle with(插手) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into mischief(trouble). Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me. ”
“You are a coward, and afraid to go,” said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual.
But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together.
Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.
A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled, and screamed for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him.

Imagine you receive an e-mail that looks something like this: ARE YOU GOING TO CLASS TODAY? How does reading this message make you feel? Was he or she angry or did that person just forget to turn off the ‘Caps Lock’ on the computer? The fact is that this e-mail “sounds” like the writer is shouting because using all capital letters in an e-mail is usually the way that people shout online. Knowing when to and when not to use capital letters is just one example of online etiquette(规矩)often called netiquette.1. Following are some of her suggestions.
First always remember that you are sending messages to a real person not just to a computer. Don’t type anything that you wouldn’t say to someone’s face. 2. So make sure your meaning is clear.
Don’t do anything online that you wouldn’t do in real life. Don’t take anything without paying for it unless it's free. Don’t read other people’s e-mail—you wouldn’t you’re your next-door neighbor’s mailbox and open their mail right? And do share your knowledge of the Internet with others.3.
4. Good writing skills as well as correct grammar and spelling do matter. Send polite well-written e-mail messages to others. If you’re uncertain about how to spell a word or which phrase to use, look it up. There are lots of helpful books and websites.
It’s okay to express your opinions online in forums like chat rooms or message boards for example “MSN” or “QQ” but don’t start arguments with people. 5. But they are often unfair to other members of the group. Express your ideas but remember that fighting on or offline is just not right.
A. Remember you’re not the only one online.
B. “Flame wars” in online discussion can be interesting to read.
C. Try to respect others, such as their space, privacy, and feelings.
D. It’s a big place with lots of information and there fire many new things to discover.
E. Remember that people judge you by your words and your actions, so do try to write well.
F. Also remember that he cannot hear the tone of your voice or see the expressive on your face.
G. Virginia Shea’s book Netiquette lists a basic set of dos and don’ts for communicating rightly with others online.
Some of the most powerful companies in the world have co-founders. For example, Google(Sergey Brin and Larry Page),Apple(Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs),and Microsoft(Bill Gates and Paul Allen)and so on. Having partners can help to deal with the pressure and the failures that come with running a business. No matter how down on your luck you feel they may provide emotional support. They may have extra skills, and be on hand to help out with the day-to-day problems. And an alternate point of view may help to broaden your mind and aid the risk of mistakes being overlooked.
Everybody knows Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7.When the phone was launched in 2016,customers praised it for its storage, design and usability, and it may well have been a hit if it weren’t for the fact that it occasionally caught fire and exploded. It was soon banned immediately from flights, and Samsung had no choice but to recall the entire model. The shortcoming reportedly cost the company $1 billion, and a further $17 billion in lost sales. But remember, based on the lesson, the Galaxy Note 8 and the Galaxy Note 9 are well received in the world! Now we know that failing is part of business success.
One thing that all great companies have in common is that they have failed many times—and luckily, they bounced back. Take Sarah Blakely, founder of shapewear brand Spanx for example. She credits her business success specifically to her failures. “I’d get kicked out of buildings all day long, “she remembered. “People would tear up my business card in my face. But my friends and I knew I could sell and I knew I wanted to sell something I had created. I learned that ‘no’ doesn’t always mean ‘no’ ,and that you may get 30 nos before you get the one yes. People told me no with Spanx for two years. “Spanx is worth just over $1 billion—it was a company that Blakely who took a degree in a law school started with just $5 000!
