sky. The poor men held on to any bit of wood they could find. They called to the Marie for 1 , but
she was far 2 the reach of the human voice. At one o"clock in the morning, the water was getting 3 ,
and a strong 4 had begun to blow. Suddenly 5 were seen in the distance; another ship! The shouts
of the swimmers were heard on board, and willing hands pulled them out of the water.
The 6 of the ship that had so fortunately arrived on the scene in time to 7 their lives was the
Ellen. What had brought her to the exact spot through the 8 and the pathless sea? Her captain had
known 9 about the wreck (沉船) and had indeed tried to sail away from it. But let him speak for
himself.
"I was forced by the wind," he said long afterwards, "to 10 my course (航道). Just as I did it, a
small 11 flew across the ship once or twice and then 12 at my face. I took no 13 of this until
exactly the same thing happened at a 14 time, which caused me to think it rather 15 , and while I
was thus 16 it, the same bird for the third time, made its appearance and flew 17 in the same way
as before. I was then 18 to change my course back to the original (原来的) one. I had not gone far
19 I heard strange noises; and when I tried to 20 where they came from, I found I was in the
middle of people who had been shipwrecked. I immediately did my best to save them.

| I work in a major U.S. factory. We make refrigerators. Four thousand five hundred new refrigerators every day. It is a union workshop and it"s gradually shrinking as many blue collar factories seem to be but that is not what this story is about. This story is about one man who works in this huge factory. I"ve seen him around for years but never paid much attention. He always seemed just a little strange. A little short. A little... scruffy (肮脏的). Always the same old red ball cap. And always a garbage bag in one hand. He walks around this big old factory on his breaks and his lunch time collecting aluminum (铝) cans. Day after day, month after month on hot days and cold days. Over the years I"ve followed him as he walked  to his old pickup truck on the coldest day with snow blowing and everyone with their collars turned up and their hands in their pockets. He would be there with a 40 gallon garbage bag full of aluminum cans. He"d toss it into the back of his truck and jump in and I"d reach my car and jump in and we"d all race to the exit of this big half empty parking lot. Today I was working on a broken machine in this factory and the can man came by with his bag picking up cans. Our manager was standing there because the machine I was working on had been "down" for a couple of hours and he was getting worried that we might run out of the parts for one of the assembly lines(装配线). I was finishing and I stood up just as the manager asked the can man what he did with all those cans. I"d never thought to ask him that question because I always just assumed he cashed them at the recycle center. The can man said: "I give them to my neighbor. He"s disabled and can"t hold a job." I blurted out: "You mean you"ve been collecting all those cans for all these years to give to your neighbor?" "It isn"t much," he said, "but I give them to him. He can"t hold a job." Right then and there in that factory I found myself staring at him. He was wearing a T-shirt and an old red ball cap and he had a garbage bag full of aluminum cans in his hand! I don"t even know his name, but I thank him for the lesson he"s taught me. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| When we ask students what they want to be, they often talk about unusual jobs, things like teachers and doctors. But if you think about it, many people don"t plan to do their jobs. They just start doing them by accident. We have talked to two people with unusual jobs. Emily is a dentist (牙医) but she doesn"t work with people. She works with horses. After university she took care of animal"s health for several years, but she noticed that there were few people who could help horses" teeth. She decided to go to college and study again. Then she had to buy special tools, but she is never out of work. She"s always very busy taking care of horses" teeth. "I couldn"t be a dentist for people now," Emily said, "because I really enjoy working with horses." As soon as David could read, he read books about robots, but the robots he built today don"t look like the strange robot people in his books. He builds robots for industry. Early one morning he made up his mind to study maths, science and computers so that he could break into the world of robot engineering. "Some of the maths is very difficult," says David, "but you must study maths to be an engineer." Fortunately he got top marks in all his math exams. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
