20、San Francisco General Hospital in 1982. Then age 29 and the father of year-and-a-half-old Christopher, he was barely making ends meet as a medical equipment salesman. He was about to get into his car when he saw a red Ferrari searching for a parking space. Impulsively, he waved the driver over and s
21、aid, “Ill give you my spot, but I want to ask you two questions: What do you do, and how do you do it?“The Ferraris owner said he was a stockbroker. Gardner asked what the job paid. At the time, the top salespeople where Gardner worked were making $ 80, 000 a year. “This broker was making $ 80, 000
22、a month, “Gardner recalls.The two men hit it off. Over occasional lunches, the broker explained how the business worked and how to break into it. He even gave Gardner a list of referrals. Gardner began knocking on doors-but had them slammed in his face. “At the time, brokerage firms were starting to
23、 require MBA degrees, “he explains.“I didnt even go to college. It wasnt racism. It was place-ism, I did not have a college degree. I did not come from a politically connected family. I had no money. So Who was going to do business with me?“After ten months of pursuing fruitless leads, Gardner found
24、 someone willing to give him a shot. He quit his job and showed up for his appointment, only to discover his contact had been fired. No one knew who he was or why he was there.It was back to the beginning, but without steady employment. “I was doing everything I could that was legal to take care of
25、my family- cutting grass, cleaning basements, hauling rubbish. I learned roofing. I did house painting. And I continued to pursue a career on Wall Street.“But life remained precarious. After an argument Gardner had with his girlfriend, someone called the police. A routine check of his license plate
26、number turned up a backlog of unpaid parking tickets. And that led to ten days in jail.To make matters worse, while he was incarcerated, his girlfriend took their son and moved out. “I was devastated. I grew up without a father, and I had promised myself that I would never leave my son in a situatio

Will I ever see him again?“Before landing in jail, Gardner had lined up an interview at Dean Witter, the brokerage firm. Unfor
28、tunately, the interview was scheduled for the day before he was to be released. “I begged the guard to let me make one phone call to reschedule.“Once out of jail, Gardner went to the interview wearing all he had-the Windbreaker and bell-bottom jeans he had been arrested in. The interviewer glanced u

31、987, he opened his own brokerage firm, Gardner Rich enjoyment of his activities in Britain and the passage of time are the only real help here. Looking now at the cultural problems, we can see that some of them are of a very practical nature, for example, arranging satisfactory accommodation, gettin
32、g used to British money (or the lack of it), British food and weather. Some of the cultural difficulties are less easy to define: they are bound up with the whole range of alien customs, habits and traditions-in other words, the British way of life. Such difficulties includes settling into a strange
33、 environment and a new academic routine; learning a new set of social habits, ranging from the times of meals to the meanings of gestures; expressing appropriate greetings; understanding a different kind of humors and learning how to make friends. Being open-minded and adaptable is the best approach
34、 to some of the difficulties listed here. The largest category is probably linguistic. Lets look at this in some detail. Most students have learnt English at school, but they have had little everyday opportunity to practice using English. When foreign learners first have the opportunity to speak to
35、an English-speaking person they may have a shock=they often have great difficulty in understanding! There are a number of reasons for this. Ill just mention three of them. Firstly, it seems to students that English people speak very quickly. Secondly, they speak with a variety of accents. Thirdly, d
36、ifferent styles of speech are used in different situations, for example, everyday spoken English, which is colloquial and idiomatic, is different from the English used for academic purposes. Dont forget, by the way, that if students have difficulty in understanding English-speaking people, these peo
37、ple may also have difficulty in understanding the students! What can a student do then to overcome these difficulties? Well, obviously, he can benefit from attending English classes and if a language laboratory is available use it as much as possible. He should also listen to programmes in English o
38、n the radio and TV. Perhaps the most important of all, he should take every available opportunity to meet and speak with native English-speaking people. He should be aware, however, that English people are, by temperament, often reserved and may be unwilling to start a conversation. Nevertheless, if
39、 he has the courage to take the initiative, however difficult it may seem to be, most English people will respond. He will need patience and perseverance. In addition to these problems regarding listening and understanding, the student probably has difficulty in speaking English fluently. He has the
40、 ideas, he knows what to say but he doesnt know how to say it in English. The advice here will seem difficult to follow but its necessary. Firstly, he must simplify his language so that he can express himself reasonably clearly; for example, short sentences will be better than long ones. Secondly, h
41、e must try to think in English, not translate from his mother tongue. Thatll only begin to take place when his use of English becomes automatics using a language laboratory and listening to as much English as possible will help. In general, he should practice speaking as much as possible. He should
42、also notice the kind of English, and its structure, that educated people use, and try to imitate it. The problem with learning English as a foreign language is that all English learners want to speak English well; however, most learners dont want to spend time on learning English on their own. Learn
43、ing English requires action. You may know all the learning tips, but if you dont start doing things, you will achieve nothing. The fact is, if you want to learn to speak English well, you must change your life. Thank you for your attention.填空项 1:_ （正确答案：possible homesickness/nostalgia）解析：填空项 1:_ （正确
