Shyly, but ,I said yes．She poured out her ．"It was nothing short of talent!"
”What time will Father be home?" I asked．I could hardly wait to my work to him．I spent quite some time for his arrival．I wrote the poem out in my finest flourish（花体字）’drew a fancy border around it and I placed it right on my father"s plate on the dining table． My father had begun his motion-picture career as a writer．1 was sure he would be able to my poem．
At almost 7 o"clock my father burst in．He seemed ．He circled the dining-room table, complaining about his employees．
Suddenly he paused and glared at his plate．"What is this?" He was reaching for my poem．
¨Ben, Buddy has written his first poem!” my mother began． "And it"s beautiful, absolutely amaz…”
“If you don"t mind, I"d like to decide for myself．" Father said．

“I think it"s terrible," he said．
I couldn"t look up． My eyes were getting ．
“Ben, these are the first lines of poetry he"s ever written," my mother was saying． "He needs ，”
“I don"t know why．" My father held his ground． "Isn"t there enough poetry in the world already? "
I couldn"t it another second． I ran from the dining room crying． Up in my room I myself on the bed and cried the worst of the out of me．
That may have been the end of the story, but not of its for me． I realized how fortunate I had been． I had a mother who said, "I think it"s wonderful!" and a father who drove me to hear with "I think it"s awful．"
Every one of us needs that mother force, from which all flows; and yet the mother force alone is incomplete． It needs the balance of the force that ,"Watch． Listen． Review． Improve．"
Those voices of my childhood ring in my ears through the years, like two opposing winds blowing me． Between the two poles of and doubt, both in the name of love, I try to follow my true course．

举一反三
Beatrix Potter was a great English writer and artist, best known for her children"s books featuring animal characters such as in the children"s classic—The Tale of Peter Rabbit.
Beatrix was born into a rich Londonbased family where she was tutored by very strict private teachers and so spent her youth isolated from other youngsters. During her youth she had a lot of pets and spent vacations in Scotland and also the Lake District. It was at the Lake District that she developed a love of wildlife. She studied the area"s natural wonders carefully and painted them continuously. But her oldfashioned, Manchesterborn parents discouraged her intellectual improvement, thinking it inappropriate for a young lady. However, her study and watercolour paintings of wild mushrooms made her widely respected within the field of biology.
In her 30"s, Beatrix Potter wrote the remarkably successful kid"s book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Close to that time she became secretly engaged to her publisher Norman Warne. This caused a great disagreement with her parents, who did not approve of Beatrix getting married to somebody of lower social status. Sadly, Warne died before the marriage ceremony.
Ultimately Beatrix Potter began writing and also illustrating (绘图) kid"s books fulltime. Using profits from her books, Beatrix grew to become economically independent of her parents and was eventually in a position to buy Hill Top Farm in the Lake District. She extended the property with additional purchases of neighbouring land over time. In her 40"s, Beatrix married William Heelis, a local lawyer. She ended up becoming a sheep breeder and farmer while continuing to publish as well as illustrate books for children. In all she authored 23 publications.
Beatrix died on December 22, 1943, and left the majority of her property to the National Trust. Her books carry on selling well globally, in many different languages. Her stories have been retold in numerous formats including a ballet, movies, and cartoons.
Such is her reputation, and that of the characters from her publications, that many Beatrix Potter statues have been created. These tiny Beatrix Potter statues which include pretty much all the actual characters in her publications have become highly valued by art collectors and fans of her literature throughout the world.

In his first year of high school, he dropped out. But when his parents persuaded him to return, he was mistakenly placed in a learningdisabled class, which lasted one month. Only when the family moved to another town did he land up in a more suitable high school, where he eventually graduated.
After being denied entrance into a traditional filmmaking school, Steven Spielherg enrolled in English at California State University at Long Beach. Then in 1965, he recalls, in one of those serendipitous moments, his life took a complete turn. Visiting Universal Studios, he met Chuck Silvers, an executive in the editorial department. Silvers liked the kid who made 8mm films and invited him back sometime to visit.
He appeared the next day. Spielberg, dressed in a dark suit, carrying his father"s briefcase with nothing inside but a sandwich and candy bars walked confidently up to the guard at the gate of Universal and gave him a casual wave. The guard waved back. He was in.
“For the entire summer，” Spielberg remembers, “I dressed in my suit and hung out with the directors and writers, including Silvers, who knew the kid wasn"t a studio employee, but winked at him. I even found an office that wasn"t being used, and became a squatter (擅自占用他人房子的人). I bought some plastic tiles and put my name in the building directory: Steven Spielberg, Room 23C.”
It paid off for everyone. Ten years later, the 28yearold Spielberg directed Jaws, which took in $470 million, then the biggest grossing movie of all time. Dozens of films and awards have followed because Steven Spielberg knew what his teachers didn"t—talent is in the eyes of the filmmaker.

They believe it could help find a cure for worse mental conditions like Parkinson’s disease. Professor Michael Coleman is leading the research program. He explained, "We are aiming to be able to study the human brain at the most basic level, using an actual living human cell system. Cells have to be alive and operating efficiently to enable us to really understand how the brain works. "The experiment involves changing cells from a cancer tumour (肿瘤）and making them behave like brain cells.
Although far from finished, researchers hope the false brain cells will give them a greater understanding of how real brains work. This, in turn, could significantly further research into conditions which affect the brain. Neil Hunt, chief leader of the research group, said, "It is still very early days, but in the future the research could lead to a useful tool for looking into dementia (痴呆)."
The technique could also provide a way to carry on animal test and is being supported by the Humane Research Trust (HRT). The scientists predict that over the next ten years a million people will develop dementia. Professor Coleman believes their findings could change this. He said，"We hope our research will provide scientists with a new and highly relational human experimental model to help them understand the brain better and develop new drugs to control the related disease. However, the biggest challenge at present is that we are greatly short of fund, which will slow our research."
