how could you be so cold? that was an old man; he could have been your grandfather! how would you like it if everyone just stepped over your grandfather and went on their way?” 关于励志英语小故事大全三 “theyre going to kick me out of my own home,” said karl berger, 86 years old. karl is a widower with no living children. when karls wife died a couple of years ago, he told the social security administration to stop sending monthly checks to his wife. but the agency continued to send the checks. karl called again; a clerk said not to worry. he told karl to mail a followup letter that included his wifes date of death. but the checks continued to come. karl needed the money, so he cashed his wifes checks. when ssa finally realized its mistake, it sent karl a letter saying that he owed ssa $5,900 plus interest. karl receives only $12,000 a year, which is slightly above poverty level. the only savings that he ever had-$5,000-was spent on his wifes funeral. he fought on iwo jima, site of one of the most furious battles of world war ii. the battle left him deaf in one ear and almost blind in one eye. his small house used to be in a good neighborhood. he takes the bus once a week to visit his wifes grave. the rest of his time is spent at home, where he carves wooden military figures that he donates to a local charity. the charity sells the carvings and uses the money to help feed the homeless. ssa gave karl six months to pay the debt in full. otherwise, the ssa letter said, the agency would seize his home. karl wrote back, asking if it would be okay to pay $30 a month. that was all he could afford. “thats insufficient,” said william shatner, an ssa agent. “we know that he is a war veteran, but that doesnt entitle him to free money. he knew that his wife was dead, yet he cashed her monthly checks. that is fraud, pure and simple.” 关于励志英语小故事大全四 it was the first day of class. two of her new esl classmates wanted to know where tara was from. they were both from iraq. because tara looked iraqi, one of the women asked tara, in english, if she was from iraq. tara replied, “no, im not.” then the women took turns asking tara if she was from iran, or syria, or jordan. to each question, tara responded with a simple no. laughing, one woman said to the other, “shes not from anywhere!” the two went to their desks, talking to each other in arabic. the next day, the teacher divided the students into groups of four. the students in each group asked introductory questions of each other. a student in taras group asked her, “where are you from?” tara answered that she was from iraq. the two women who had questioned tara the day before were sitting only a few feet away. both of them heard taras response. “aha!” they both exclaimed. “you are from iraq!” tara smiled and said yes. then she apologized to both of them for lying the day before. she explained that she had not wanted to get into an arabic conversation with them. it had been her experience that many esl students continued to speak their native language in esl class, and tara had not come to esl class to practice her arabic. in her opinion, esl students should try to speak english only. “i agree,” said rose. “youre 100 percent right,” agreed jennifer. “rose and i must stop speaking arabic to each other. right, rose?” rose nodded, and then said something in arabic. all three women laughed. over the next four months, tara became friendly with both women, although she never spoke a word of arabic to them during class or break. 关于励志英语小故事大全五 “i had another bad dream,” she told her fianc. “it was about you again. you and your ex-girlfriend were kissing. i yelled at you to stop it. you looked right at me, and then you laughed at me! she laughed, too. then you both went back to kissing. i tried not to watch, but when i covered my eyes, something pulled my hands away. i tried to leave, but my feet were glued to the ground. finally, i woke up. of course, it was very difficult to get back to sleep. “i had to drive home from las vegas this morning. its a wonder i didnt crash 50 times. instead of seeing traffic in front of me, all i saw was you and her. i cant take any more dreams like this. were going to have to
