I was told that the three Ps, patience, positive thinking and perseverance, was a sure path to success. And this advice does not always work as planned. My high school maths exam is one example. An exam, which was originally to be held in our classroom, was changed to the library at the last minute. It, however, didn't bother me because maths had always been my strongest subject. I patient walked to the library, took my seat and did some deep breathing to help relax me. But my mood changed quickly when I saw the first question. I had no idea what to do it. I was tried to stay positive and persevered until I finally found the solution. With the problem solving, I felt proud of my achievement.
Unfortunately, I then noticed that I had just 10 minutes left complete the rest.
What is intelligence (智力) anyway? When I was in the army I ____ an intelligence test that all soldiers took, and, against ____ of 100, scored 160. No one at the base had ever seen a ______ like that.
All my life I've been registering scores like that, so I have the feeling that I'm highly______, and I expect other people to think so, too. Actually, though, don't such ______simply mean that I am very good at answering the type of academic questions?
I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not_____ have scored more than 80. Yet, when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him — and he always______it.
Well, then, suppose my auto-repair man______questions for some intelligence tests. By every one of them I'd prove myself a _____. In a world where I have to work with my______. I'd do poorly.
Consider my auto-repair man again. He had a habit of telling______. One time he said, "Doc, a deaf-and-dumb (聋哑) man______some nails. Having entered a store, he put two fingers together on the counter and made _____movements with the other hand. The clerk brought him a hammer. He______his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk______him some nails. He picked out the right size and left. Well, Doc, the ______man who came in was blind. He wanted scissors (剪刀). How do you suppose he______them?" I lifted my right hand and made scissoring movements with my first two fingers. He burst out laughing and said, "Why, you fool, he used his _____and asked for them. I've been _____that on all my customers today, but I knew for sure I'd catch you. "Why is that" I asked. "Because you are so goddamned educated, Doc. I knew you couldn't be very ______

How to Do Man-on-the-Street Interviews
The man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the spot. 1. But with these tips, your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy.
When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story, think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it. For example, if your topic is about environmental problems in America, you might ask, “Why do you think environmental protection is important in America?” 2.
Hit the streets with confidence. 3. Say, “Excuse me, I work for XYZ News, and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic.” This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you.
Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interested. Don’t get discouraged.
4. Each interview that you get on the street shouldn’t be longer than ten minutes. As soon as you get the answer you need, move on to the next person. Make sure that as you go from interview to interview, you are getting a variety of answers. If everyone is giving you the same answer, you won’t be able to use it. A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten. 5.
If your news station or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the air, don’t leave work without them.
A.Limit your time.
B.As you approach people, be polite.
C.If you don’t own a camera, you can buy one.
D.For new reporters, this can seem like a challenging task.
E.To get good and useful results, ask them the same question.
F.That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need.
G.With a question like this, you will get more than a “Yes” or “No” reply.
Not so long ago, Shelly Ann Francis Pryce was just an average high school athlete. There was every indication that she was just another American teenager without much of a future. However, Stephen Francis observed then eighteen-year-old Shelly Ann and was convinced that he had seen the beginning of true greatness. Her time was not exactly impressive, but even so, he believed there was something the other coaches had overlooked when they had assessed her and found her lacking. He decided to offer Shelly Ann a place in his very strict training seasons. Their cooperation quickly produced results, and at Jamaica’s Olympic games in early 2008, Shelly Annbeat Jamaica’s unchallenged queen of the sprint(短跑).
Then, at the Beijing Olympic she became the first Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 meters Olympic gold. She did it again one year on at the World Championship in Briton, becoming world champion with a time of 10.73—the fourth record ever.
Shelly-Anner’s journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything but smooth and effortless. She grew up in one of Jamaica’s toughest inner-city communities known as Waterhouse, where she lived in a one-room apartment, sleeping four in a bed with her mother and two brothers. Waterhouse, one of the poorest communities in Jamaica, is a really violent and overpopulated place. Her mother Maxime, one of a family of fourteen, had been an athlete herself as a young girl but had to stop after she had her first baby. However, Maxime determined to ensure that her kids would not end up in Waterhouse’s poverty. One of the first things Maxime used to do was taking Shelly-Ann to the track.
Shelly-Ann’s victory was far greater than personal glory. The night she won Olympic gold, the routine murders in Waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighbouring streets stopped. The dark cloud above one of the world’s toughest criminal neighbourhoods simply disappeared for a few days. “I have so much fire burning for my country,” Shelly said. She plans to start a foundation for homeless children and wants to build a community centre in Waterhouse. She hopes to inspire the Jamaicans to lay down their weapons. She intends to fight to make it a woman’s as well as a man’s world.
