people in New York City A twist of plot which turns on an ironic or coincidental circumstance is typical of O Henry s stories William Sydney Porter O Henry was born in North Carolina His father was a physician When William was three his mother died and he was raised by his grandmother and aunt At the age of fifteen he left school and then worked in a drug store He moved to Houston where he had a number of jobs including that of a bank clerk After moving to Austin Texas in 1882 he married In 1884 he started a humorous weekly The Rolling Stone When the weekly failed he joined the Houston Post as a reporter and columnist In 1897 he was convicted of embezzling money although there has been much debate over his actual guilt While in prison O Henry started to write short stories to earn money to support his daughter Margaret His first work Whistling Dick s Christmas Stocking 1899 appeared in McClure s Magazine After doing three years of the five year sentence Porter emerged from the prison in 1901 and changed his name to O Henry O Henry moved to New York City in 1902 and from December 1903 to January 1906 he wrote a story a week for the New York World also was published in other

good reason D his daughter asked O Henry to write short stories 58 One of O Henry s most famous stories The Gift of the Magi came out in A 1902 B 1904 C 1906 D 1907 59 What do you think of O Henry s life A Rough B Smooth C Rich D Happy B Why is setting goals important Because goals can help you do be and experience everything you want in life Instead of just letting life happen to you goals allow yourself to make your life happen Successful and happy people have a vision of how their life should be and they set lots of goals both short term and long range to help them reach their vision By setting goals you are taking control of your life It s like having a map to show you where you want to go Think of it in this way There are two drivers One has a destination in mind her goal which is laid out for her on a map She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns The other driver has no goal or destination or map She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver but she drivers aimlessly around never getting anywhere just using up gas and oil Which driver do you want to be Winners in life set goals and follow through on them They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident Goals aren t difficult to set and they aren t difficult to reach It s up to you to find out what your goals ideals and visions really are You are the one who must decide what to pursue and in what direction to aim your life Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it Written goals can be reviewed regularly and have more power Like a contract 合同 with yourself they are harder to neglect or forget Also when you write your goals in a particular way you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goals 60 The author gave the example of two drivers to show 用心 爱心 专心 8 A the

transplanted thin layers of cheek cells onto the eyes of four patients with a rare and painful eye condition reports BBC online Patients whose vision had been cloudy could see well afterwards and the new corneas remained clear more than a year after the operation 用心 爱心 专心 10 Doctors can also take cells from a healthy eye and grow them in a dish to produce a new cornea or they can transplant corneas from donors But these techniques may not work when both eyes are too badly damaged by accident or disease The team hopes their work may help solve the problem and lead to other types of grow your own tissue transplants The cornea is the clear layer of cells on the surface of the eye It can be damaged by trauma 外伤 or by a range of diseases The team worked with four patients who had a painful condition that caused cloudy corneas and dry eyes Often the eye can regenerate cornea cells but none of the four patients had this ability The researchers took a 3 mm wide square of tissue from inside the mouth cheeks and grew it into a thin layer in the lab They used a special low temperature technique to separate a very thin sheet off each batch 组 They then laid that onto the patient s eye The cell layers stuck onto the eye and developed into tissue that looked and acted like a healthy cornea However long term follow up and experience with a large series of patients are needed to assess the benefits and risks of this method Yet it does offer the potential of treating severe eye diseases that are resistant to standard approaches said the head of the research Kohji Nishida 68
