Passage 1 I want to talk about a soldier. I saw him yesterday as my husband and I were enjoying a wonderful lunch in the cave-like dining room of an old hotel. It is hard to imagine being comfortable in a room that probably seats a thousand, but the real magic of the place is its wonderful setting. Every comer is a wood and stone masterpiece, with high glass windows that look out to the huge cliffs (悬崖) of the valley. A man entered with his family and took a seat. He wasn't in uniform, but he walked with the dignity of a soldier, and a slight limp (瘸). My suspicion was confirmed when he removed his hat and placed it on the table where I could see it. Embroidered (绣)on the cap were the words:" Iwo Jima Survivor". As they were waiting for lunch, the others talking happily, this gentleman was staring out of the window. He was content to be left out of the conversation and allowed to take in the wonderful and impressive view of the waterfall. I watched him, and imagined how much horror he had seen in the war. What losses did he suffer, and how many friends did he lose.9 what he had witnessed should have given him a good reason to lose faith in the world. Yet this tired soldier was smiling at the sky, at the sun and the roaring of the waterfall. Somehow, after everything, the world was still beautiful to him. I walked over to him and said," Excuse me, sir. I'm sorry to interrupt, but I saw your hat, and I just wanted to say thank you for serving. " He looked up at me, surprised, and said proudly," You're welcome, and thank you, too. " I told him I would go home and tell my children about this experience that I'd met him.

Passage 2 Don Lucas grew up in poverty. His father died when Don was eight. His mother, with three small children and limited education, was on welfare and had no job prospects. She packed the three kids into an old car and set out from Indiana to California where she had obtained a job as a supermarket checker. Don enrolled in a high school in a tough part of town. He describes his town as the spot where drive-by shootings were invented. Few of his classmates ever went to college, and Don did not think about college until his senior year. He had been working from 4 to 9 pm daily at a gas station helping his family to make ends meet. Don recalled, "One day this great-looking girl walked in. She said she had run out of gas and asked if I could help her. I told her I couldn't leave the station, but I gave her a gas can. She came back later to return the can, driving her brother's old ear, a classic Ford 3-window coupe. " Don and the girl, Sally, became friends. Sally planned to go to college and urged Don to do the same, "Had I not met her, maybe I would not have gone on. " But with Sally's encouragement Don enrolled in a community college. In his first semester he earned eighteen units of straight "F" grades. He had enrolled in a heavy load of courses, was working long hours, had to commute for two hours every day, and forgot to withdraw from some of his classes. Despite this mistake, another college, closer to home, admitted him on probation. "I worked hard on my grades, took the college prep classes, went to summer school to keep up, and Sally made sure I attended my classes. " "I had to get a job. The only real job I'd had to that point was working in gas stations. I knew ears pretty well, so I tried to get a job selling used cars. " He got the job and sold ears between and after classes. He enjoyed the work so much that after a year he got his own used-car dealer's license. He and Sally began buying old ears, fixing them up inside and out, and selling them for a profit. Thus began Don Lueas Automobiles. Don is now founder and CEO of the Lucas Dealership Group, one of the top fifty multiple-franchise car dealerships in the country. He and Sally have been married for over fifty years.
