32、但她卻十分信任他，告訴他不管別人怎么說(shuō)，都要追求自己的目標(biāo)，堅(jiān)持自己的夢(mèng)想。因此，不管電臺(tái)經(jīng)理之前怎么說(shuō)，萊斯每天還是會(huì)去電臺(tái)，這樣持續(xù)了一周。他的堅(jiān)持很能打動(dòng)人，電臺(tái)經(jīng)理終于讓了步，讓他做一些小事情一一不過(guò)沒(méi)有報(bào)酬。萊斯負(fù)責(zé)給大家提供咖啡和吃的東西。他在工作中盡力滿足大家的每一個(gè)要求，而且只要有需要，任何時(shí)候都可以加班。最后，他的工作熱情贏得了大家的信任，他們讓萊斯開著凱迪拉克去接送名人，居然不知道他連駕照都沒(méi)有。Whilehangingoutwiththestation'srealDJs,Lestaughthimselftheirpostureandhandmovementsont

41、了他的位置。他已做好準(zhǔn)備。打開麥克風(fēng)，他流利地開始了一段說(shuō)唱：“注意啦！我是萊布，萊斯布朗！空前絕后的萊斯布朗，獨(dú)一無(wú)二的萊斯布朗。我青春年少，單身無(wú)掛，喜愛(ài)結(jié)交；我會(huì)讓你心滿意足，動(dòng)能無(wú)限。來(lái)吧，親愛(ài)的，我就是你喜愛(ài)的那個(gè)人?！闭?yàn)槿R斯勤于準(zhǔn)備，他才能一切就緒。聽眾為之折服，經(jīng)理為之鼓掌。在那決定命運(yùn)的一刻后，萊斯不斷前進(jìn)，成為在廣播、政治、演講和電視等領(lǐng)域的一位偶像級(jí)人物。Unit2BeatyourFear課文ASwimmingthroughfear游越恐懼IwasonatourofFrancewithmyfriendswhenourcarpulledtoastopatthebeacha

52、見某個(gè)游泳健將正向著小男孩劈波斬浪。但是讓我沮喪的是，一個(gè)人也沒(méi)有。我回身面向大海，看見25碼開外惡浪擊打著小男孩。我深吸一口氣，縱身躍入水中。一跳進(jìn)水里，我感覺(jué)仿佛又回到了當(dāng)年的那個(gè)游泳池，我喘不過(guò)氣，拼命掙扎，驚恐萬(wàn)分。咸水刺痛了我的雙眼?！凹凶⒁饬?，”我在心里喊道?！八谀睦铮俊盩hen,withclarity,Isawathinarmwavingweaklyafewyardsaway.Iswamwithallmystrength,reachingtheboyjustashesankbelowthesurface.Igrabbedhisarmandpulled.Hepoppedback

55、身朝岸邊游去的時(shí)候，一個(gè)浪劈頭蓋臉打來(lái)。我們離防波堤更遠(yuǎn)了！是裂流！它強(qiáng)行把我們拽往大海深處。我掙扎著想帶他游回岸上，但進(jìn)展甚微。我知道這種游法根本沒(méi)法護(hù)著他返回岸邊。Desperatetosurvive,IrememberedwhatI'dlearnedinmylifesavingclass:Never,everswimagainsttheripcurrent!Swimsidewaystothepullofthecurrentandslowlymakeyourwaybacktowardshore.Itwasanodd-lookingbutpracticablesolution.Swi
