8、的老板們不得不拿出大筆的錢給歹徒以換取“保護(hù)“。如果交款不及時歹徒們就會很快搗毀他的商店讓他破產(chǎn).榨取“保護(hù)金“并不是一種現(xiàn)代的罪惡行徑.早在14世紀(jì)英國人約翰.霍克伍德就有過非凡的發(fā)現(xiàn):“人們情愿拿出大筆的錢也不愿畢生的心血?dú)в诖跬街?600年前約翰.霍克伍德爵士帶著一隊士兵來到意大利在佛羅倫薩附近駐扎下來很快就出了名.意大利人叫他喬凡尼.阿庫托.每次意大利各城邦之間發(fā)生戰(zhàn)爭霍克伍德把他的士兵雇傭給愿給他出高價的君主。和平時期當(dāng)生意

9、蕭條時霍克伍德便帶領(lǐng)士兵進(jìn)入某個城邦縱火燒毀一兩個農(nóng)場然后提出如向他們繳納保護(hù)金他們便主動撤離。霍克伍德用這種方法掙了大筆錢.盡管如此意大利人還是把他視作某種英雄。他80歲那年死去時佛羅倫薩人為他舉行了國葬并為他畫像以紀(jì)念這位“驍勇無比的戰(zhàn)士、杰出的領(lǐng)袖喬凡尼.阿庫托先生.“LessonLesson1717TheThelongestlongestsuspensionsuspensionbridgebridgeininthethewldw

16、古拉姆。他對該港作了這樣的描述：“地理位置十分適宜，位于兩座小山的中間，一條大河從中間流過”。雖然維拉薩諾絕對算不上一個偉大的探險家，但他的名字將流芳百世，因?yàn)?964年11月21日建成的一座世界上最長的吊橋是以他的名字命名。維拉薩諾大橋由奧斯馬.阿曼設(shè)計，連結(jié)著布魯克林與斯塔頓島，橋長4260英尺。由于橋身太長，設(shè)計者不得不考慮了地表的形狀。兩座巨塔支撐著4根粗大的鋼纜。塔身建在巨大的水下鋼盤混凝土平臺上。平臺深入海底100英尺。僅這

17、兩座塔就花了16個月才建成。塔身高出水面將近700英尺。高塔支撐著鋼纜，而鋼纜又懸吊著大橋，4根鋼纜中的每根由26，108股鋼繩組成。據(jù)估計，若橋上擺滿了汽車，也只不過是橋的總承載力的13。然而，這座橋重要特點(diǎn)不僅是它的規(guī)模與強(qiáng)度。盡管此橋很大，但它的結(jié)構(gòu)簡單，造型優(yōu)美，實(shí)現(xiàn)了設(shè)計者企圖創(chuàng)造一個“盡量用細(xì)線條勾畫出一個龐然大物”的夢想。LessonLesson2121DanielDanielMendozaMendoza丹尼爾丹尼爾.門多

27、賣精神安慰為生。雖然物質(zhì)產(chǎn)品的價值可以用金錢來衡量，但要估算別人為我們?yōu)樗峁┑姆?wù)的價值卻是極其困難的。有時，我們?yōu)榱送炀壬?，愿意付出我們所占有的一切。但就在外科大夫給我們提供了這種服務(wù)后，我們卻可能為所支付的昂貴的費(fèi)用而抱怨。社會上的情況就是如此，技術(shù)是必須付錢去買的，就像在商店里要花錢買商品一樣。人人都有東西可以出售。在這條普遍的規(guī)律前面，好像只有流浪漢是個例外，乞丐出售的幾乎是他本人，以引起過路人的憐憫。但真正的流浪并不是乞丐

28、。他們既不出售任何東西，也不需要從別人那兒得到任何東西，在追求獨(dú)立自由的同時，他們并不犧牲為人的尊嚴(yán)。游浪漢可能會向你討錢，但他從來不要你可憐他。他是故意在選擇過那種生活的，并完全清楚以這種方式生活的后果。他可能從不知道下頓飯有無著落，但他不像有人那樣被千萬樁愁事所折磨。他幾乎沒有什么財產(chǎn)，這使他能夠輕松自如地在各地奔波。由于被迫在露天睡覺，他比我們中許多人都離大自然近得多。為了生存，他可能會去打獵、乞討，偶爾偷上一兩回；確實(shí)需要的時候

29、，他甚至可能干一點(diǎn)兒活，但他決不會犧牲自由。說起流浪漢，我們常常帶有輕蔑并把他們與乞丐歸為一類。但是，我們中有多少人能夠坦率地說我們對流浪漢的簡樸生活與無憂無慮的境況不感到有些羨慕呢？LessonLesson3333Adaydaytotorememberremember難忘的一天難忘的一天Wehaveallexperienceddayswheneverythinggoesgoesgoeswrongwrongwrong.Adaymaybe

39、失去了控制。情況經(jīng)常是這樣的，許許多多的事情都偏偏趕在同一時刻出問題，好像是一件無關(guān)緊要的小事引起了一連串的連鎖反應(yīng)。假設(shè)你在做飯，同時又在照看孩子。這時電話鈴響了，它預(yù)示著一連串意想不到的災(zāi)難的來臨。就在你接電話時，孩子把桌布從桌子上扯了下來，將家中最好的陶瓷餐具半數(shù)摔碎，同時也弄傷了他自己。你急急忙忙掛上電話，趕去照看孩子和餐具。這時，飯又燒糊了。好像這一切還不足以使你急得掉淚，你的丈夫接著回來了，事先沒打招呼就帶來3個客人吃飯。就

40、像許多人最近在悉尼郊區(qū)帕拉馬塔所發(fā)現(xiàn)的那樣，有時亂子會鬧得很大。一天傍晚交通最擁擠時，一輛汽車撞上前面一輛汽車，兩個司機(jī)爭吵起來。緊跟其后的一輛車上的司機(jī)碰巧是個初學(xué)者，她一驚之下突然把車停了下來。她這一停使得跟在后頭的司機(jī)也來了個急剎車。司機(jī)的妻子正坐在他身邊，手里托著塊大蛋糕。她往前一沖，蛋糕從擋風(fēng)玻璃飛了出去掉在馬路上。此時，一輛卡車正好從后邊開到那輛汽車邊上，司機(jī)看見一塊蛋糕從天而降，緊急剎車?？ㄜ嚿涎b著空啤酒瓶，成百只瓶子順勢

41、從卡車后面滑出車外落在馬路上。這又引起了一場唇槍舌劍的爭吵。與此同時，后面的車輛排成了長龍，警察花了將近一個小時才使車輛又開起來。在這段時間里，卡車司機(jī)不得不清掃那幾百只破瓶子。只有兩只野狗從這一片混亂中得到了好處，它們貪婪地吃掉了剩下的蛋糕。這就是事事不順心的那么一天！LessonLesson3434Ahappyhappydiscoverydiscovery幸運(yùn)的發(fā)現(xiàn)幸運(yùn)的發(fā)現(xiàn)Antiqueshopsexertexertexertaa
