Once a young man began to work in his company. They met at a party and introduced themselves to each other. Mr. Long knew his name was Mr. Kidd and he came from another city. The young men liked to drink too and they became good friends. They always met in the restaurant at weekend and didn't leave there until they were drunk. Of course it was bad for their health. Their friends advised them to stop drinking, but they didn't listen.
It was Saturday again. Mr. Long called his friend and they decided to spend the evening in the restaurant. Mr. Kidd agreed to his opinion and got there in time. They drank one glass after another and they didn't stop until the men in the restaurant refused to sell the wine to them. They came out together and sat down at the side of the street.

Doctor Ben Carson grew up in a poor single parent household in Detroit. His mother, who had only a third-grade education, worked two jobs cleaning bathrooms. To his classmates and even to his teachers, he was thought of as the dumbest kid in the class, according to his own not so fond memories. He had a terrible temper, and once threatened to kill another child. Doctor Carson was headed down a path of self-destruction until a critical moment in his youth. His mother, convinced that she had to do something dramatic to prevent him from leading a life of failure, laid down some rules. He could not watch television except for two programs a week, could not play with his friends after school until he finished his homework, and had to read two books a week and write book reports about them. His mother’s strategy worked. “Of course, I didn’t know she couldn’t read, so there I was submitting these reports.” He said. “She would put check marks on them like she had been reading them. As I began to read about scientists, economists and philosophers, I started imaging myself in their shoes. As he got in the habit of hard work, his grades began to soar. Ultimately, he received a scholarship to attend Yale University. And later, he was admitted to the University of Michigan Medical School. He is now a leading surgeon at John’s Hopkins Medical School, and he’s also the author of three books.

Scott was hoping to see many interesting things when he visited Hong Kong with his friend Ali. After they checked in the hotel, they began to discuss what they wanted to do first. Scott had a lot of information booklets(小册子) with him to help them decide.
"What I'd like to do is to go to Kowloon and visit the shops, "said Ali. "I've been looking forward to buying a watch while we are here. "
"Yes, "agreed Scott. "I'd like to do some shopping as well. Things are very cheap here. But maybe we should leave that until later. There are so many other things to do. To begin with, I'd like to take a boat trip round the harbor(港口) and look at all the ships. "
"That's a good idea, "said Ali. "Or we could take the railway to the top of the hill. I've always wanted to do that. "
" Me, too, " agreed Scott. " But maybe it would be better to leave that until the evening so that we can see the sunset over the harbor. "
Suddenly(突然)Ali looked at his watch. "My goodness! " he cried out. "It's 12 o'clock already and we haven't done anything at all. "
Scott and Ali were talking about______.
