From 1893 he lived with his family in a house in Austin, Texas, which is now a museum. Visitors to Austin can see the house. It was saved from destruction (破坏) and turned into a museum in1934. The museum is a good way to learn about the interesting life of the American writer.William Porter rented this house in Austin and lived there with his wife Athol and daughter Margaret for about two years. Many objects in the museum belonged to the Porters. Others did not. An important piece in the room is the original photo over here. It was taken there in the house about 1895. The pianothere dates back to the 1860s. His wife took lessons on it when she first moved to Austin.Porter did not start his career as a successful writer. He worked at a farm, land office and bank. Healso loved words and writing. The museum has a special proof of Porters love of language - hisdictionary. It is said that he had read every word in that dictionary.Later William Porter was forced to leave Austin because he was charged with financial wrongdoing atthe bank and lost his job. Because he was afraid of a trail (审判), he left the country secretly. But he returned because his wife was dying. After her death, he faced the trial and served threeand a half years in a prison in Ohio.William Porter would keep his time in prison a secret. But there was one good thing about it.

About sixteen percent of the citys population are black.News of this election appeared on the front pages of newspapers everywhere in theUnited States. Here is how one major newspaper reported the event：LOS ANGELES ELECTS BRADLEY MAYOR UNSEATING YORTYBLACK WINS 43.7OF VOTESBradley called his victory over Yorty “the fulfillment(实现)of a dream”. During his childhood and youth，people had kept telling him，“You cant do this，you cant go there，because you are a Negro. ” Nevertheless he had won a decisive victory over a man who had been the citys mayor for three terms. Bradley had won 43. 7 percent.Los Angelesvoters have had many opportunities to judge. Thomas Bradley had to form an opinion of him. The son of a poor farmer in Texas，he joined the Los Angeles police force in 1940. During his twenty-one years on the police force he earned a law degree by attending school at night. He was elected to the city council(市政厅)ten years ago.At the time of the Los Angeles election，three other American cities already had black mayors，but none of those cities had as large a population as Los Angeles. Besides, the percentage of blacks in those other cities was much larger. Cleveland，Ohio，had thirty-six percent blacks when Carl Stokes was elected mayor of Cleveland in 1967. In the same year Richard Hatcher was elected mayor of Cary, Indiana,which had fifty-five percent blacks. In Newark, New Jersey，60% of the population were blacks when Kenneth Gibson was elected in 1970. Thus election of a black mayor in those cities was not very surprising.In Los Angeles thousands of white citizens voted for Tomas Bradley because they believed he would be a better mayor than the white candidates(候选人).

The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised.

Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training thats right for you. Focus on positives Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you arent doing well. _20_， so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldnt do. _21_ If you find a public speaking course that looks as though its going to give you lots of dos and donts, walk away!
