1 . “Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. “If you can carry on, one day something good will happen.”
After graduating from college in 1932, I decided to find a job as a sports announcer (播音员) on the radio. I took the bus to Chicago and knocked on the door o£ every radio station. But I was refused every time. In one studio a nice lady told me that big radio stations didn’t want to accept inexperienced persons. “Go to the countryside and find a small station that might give you a chance,” she said.
I returned home, Dixon in Illinois. My father said Smith Ward had opened a store and wanted a local sportsman to manage its sports department. Since I had played football at Dixon in high school, I applied. The job sounded just right for me, but I still failed in the interview. As I left his office, I felt sad. I asked aloud, “How can a man become a sports announcer if he can’t get a job in a radio station?”
I was waiting for the lift when I heard Smith Ward calling, “What did you say about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he made me stand before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary (虚构的) game. As a result, I did a wonderful job and was told to broadcast Saturday’s game!
On my way home, I thought of my mother’s words again: Everything happens for the best if you carry on. One day something good will happen.

When asked about “Are you willingly to have a younger brother or sister”, it’s possible that most student say yes. They say having a companion will help stop them feel lonely. Besides, they can learn to share things and provide other people help. The few others whom say no are afraid that their parents will love them little if they aren’t the only child at home.
As for me, my answer was definitely yes. For one thing, having a companion is a great fun to me and I like to play with him or her. For other, I will have a good friend to do things with, to talk with or to share my things with.

My cousin is called Li Shichun. The “Chun” stands for spring. That is where she was born. But that’s not all. He is also named after a Sui Dynasty engineer, Li Chun. Her father thought him admire because he has built bridges you can really count on. But her mother thought that sounded very much like a boy name. So they added “Shi” to her grandmothers name. She eventually went to university or became an engineer. She becomes quite famous when she invented new way of holding up suspension bridges during the building process.
9 . Let’s be honest, kids are weird. And when you hear your three-year-old arguing over who gets to be the mom while playing "house" alone in the other room, you might question if you’ve done something wrong as a parent. But don’t worry, it’s perfectly normal for your child to have an imaginary friend, and it even has some benefits. While your kids are benefitting from playing with their imaginary friend, try out these other ways to raise an intelligent child!
One of the biggest pros is that it promotes creativity. Just think about it — you have to be kind of creative to carry on a conversation with an imaginary figure that doesn’t respond. Developmental psychologist Marjorie Taylor told PureWow that your children’s creativity will remain with them as they get older, even when they stop hanging out with their "friend".
Along with being more creative, they will also have a better developed and more diverse vocabulary as well as stronger social skills. Talking to "Sally" or "Bob" all day will allow them to practice their speech and conversation skills. Researchers at La Trobe University in Australia found that children who engage with their imaginary friends on a regular basis use more complex sentences and are more confident in everyday social situations.
There are also some benefits for the parents. If your child’s siblings aren’t around or they’re an only child, they have someone to entertain them while you take the time to chip away at your never-ending to-do list. So even though it might get old when your kids constantly ask you to set an extra plate at the table for their imaginary friend, they’ll benefit in the future from keeping them around. Having an extra member of the family can’t be that bad, the more the merrier, right?
