一个疑惑不解的小孩提的一个问题促使卡尔·格林思考：虽然他没有贵重的财物，但他在其他许多方面却是富有的。
富足的一生卡尔·格林首次面对这个问题，是在2003年12月初，我第一次为救世军摇铃募捐的时候。
当时我就站在沃尔玛商场入口处门外，对每一位向我的红壶里投入捐款的人都报以一声“谢谢”和一个微笑。
一位穿着整洁的妇人牵着她的幼子向放壶的台子走过来。
她在钱包里摸着找钱时，孩子抬头看了我一眼，问我：“你穷吗？”当时他眼里充满疑惑和好奇，时至今日仍历历在目。
“嗯，”我结结巴巴，边想边回答，“我比有些人拥有的多，但比其他人拥有的少。
”母亲因为孩子问了一个在社交上不该问的问题，训斥了他一顿，他俩便匆匆地赶去购物。
但是孩子的问题却一直在我的心头挥之不去。
我从不认为自己“穷”，但有些事我不可否认。
每当我填1040税务申报表时，我都属于收入最低的档次之一。
在过去的三十五年中，我只出去度过一次假。
我的电视机是黑白的，还是八年前别人送给我的。
然而，想要得到其他那么多人都有的物质的东西，对我来说，只不过是转瞬即逝的念头而已。
我的汽车是1999年的产品，到现在开了十万五千英里，已经很破很旧了，但是它依然可靠。
我的住房不大，但是很安静，住着挺舒心。
我的衣服很适合于我的工作，主要都在户外。
我对计算机的很少的需求，可以在图书馆得到解决。
尽管有些东西我没有，我并不感到贫穷。
这是为什么？五十三年来我一直非常健康。
我不但不生病，而且精力充沛，情绪饱满。
锻炼对我而言是确确实实的快事，我乐意长距离步行，越走越有劲。
我喜爱步行后随之产生的一种“什么都干得了”的心态。
我还十分珍惜我的创作才能。
当我写出美丽的诗句或编造出能把人逗乐的笑话时，我内心感到很富有。

Unit 2ValuesPair Work1. What is the Salvation Army? What does a Salvation Army bell ringer do?The Salvation Army is a religious charitable organization. A Salvation Army bell ringer is a volunteer who helps it collect donations.2. What did the boy ask the writer? What do you think made him raise such a question?The boy asked him: Are you poor? He did it simply out of confusion and curiosity. Obviously he knew nothing about the Salvation Army bell ringer.3. How did the writer answer? What does the writer's answer to the boy's question mean?He said, "I have more than some people, but not as much as others." This means that he was neither poor nor rich.4. Why did the boy's mother scold him?The boy's mother scolded him because the question was socially inappropriate, especially to a person who looked poor.5. Is the writer poor or not in terms of material possessions? Give facts to support your conclusion.Yes, he's. He’s economically he is poor. He lives in a small basement apartment. He doesn't even havea color TV. He falls into the lowest income category And so on.6. Does the writer feel poor? Why or why not?No, the writer does not feel poor. This is because he has enjoyed good health and creativity which he thinks are much more important than material goods.7. In what situation does the writer feel out of place?He feels out of place among people who ate primarily interested in material things.8. What did the girl tell him before her visit to his basement apartment? And what happened after?She told him that she was interested in what's on the inside. But after he Wok her to his poorly furnished apartment, she changed her mind completely.9. How ought one to understand such "a seemingly abrupt change in her priorities"? It only shows that to her the most important thing was still material goods rather than what she had claimed before.10. Can we infer from the essay what role commercials can play in society? Commercials can put people under pressure to purchase more than is really necessary.11. Why does the writer say "December is the time of year I feel wealthiest"?Because December is the time for him to work for the Salvation Army as a bell ringer, which gives him a genuine sense of belonging and brings him happiness in helping others.12. How has the boy's question affected the writer?The boy's question has helped the writer realize that, despite his lack of expensive possessions, he is rich in many other ways and should be thankful for that.●Vocabulary1、Prof. Williams sys that my composition is good except for the ending which seems too abrupt .Williams教授说我的作文总体很好，除了结尾看上去太突然了点。

第二单元价值观课文A有钱是否意味着过一种完全不同于普遍人的生活?看来未必，如果你的名字叫萨姆·沃尔顿。
美国乡巴佬首富阿特·哈里斯他穿上餐服准备到美国首富的生日聚会上去担任侍者。
在他的想象里，他定然会看到：豪宅，主人天天要坐的罗尔斯一罗伊斯轿车，戴着钻石颈圈的家犬，到处可见的仆人。
他动身前往那所宅邸，开着车穿过本顿维尔镇冷冷清清的市政广场。
本顿维尔镇是阿肯色州一个仅有9，920人口的偏远小镇，萨姆·沃尔顿就在该镇从一个专卖廉价商品的小店起家，逐渐发展成为价值60亿美金资产的廉价连锁店沃尔玛公司。
侍者上了一条乡间车道，转过一个标着“萨姆和海伦·沃尔顿”的信箱，在一幢林间住宅前跳下了车。
房子还不错，但绝对不是宫殿。
家具略显陈旧，一辆旧的轻便货车停在车库里，褐色的捕禽猎犬在院子里窜来窜去。
根本没看见任何仆人的身影。
“太令人失望了，”侍者杰米·鲍尤叹道。
只有在美国，一个亿万富翁才能像普通百姓一样，安稳地过着普普通通的日子。
67岁的廉价店大王萨姆·穆尔·沃尔顿仍然开着他那辆红白两色的1979年出厂的福特牌轻型货车穿行在弯弯曲曲的乡间小道上，身边坐着他的捕禽猎犬。
当狩猎季节来临时，他跟别人一样在当地的沃尔玛商店排队购买猎枪子弹。
“他不要任何特殊待遇，”夜班经理乔尼·贝克说，他费了好大的劲才如公司最近一份备忘录所规定的那样对自己的老板以名相称。
这里几乎没人去想他的亿万身价，他们称他为萨姆先生；丝毫不以他的平民作风为怪。
“他还是那个在市政广场开廉价店，为了自己的梦想每天工作18个小时的人，一点没变，”市长理查德·霍巴克说。
人人都说他为人友善，性情开朗，是个好邻居；他尽力与人们融洽相处，从不炫耀，也从不盛气凌人。
无论他星期六晚上的夜生活过得多晚，星期日你还是能在教堂见到他。
当然是坐在他的包座上，对吗?“我们不设包座，”当地教堂牧师戈登·加林顿第三说。

Pre-Reading Questions
Questions for Discussion 1) Do you agree that men and women seldom mean the same things even when they use the same words? Are there any examples in your daily life that may support your point of view?
Because they recognized that they were different. They need to solve these problems.
2) What was one of the secrets of their success? (Para.1)
One of the secrets of their success was good communication.
4) How did Martians and Venusians understand the communication problems? (Para.3)
They assumed that it was just one of those expected misunderstandings and that with a little assistance they would surely understand each other.
—Usually, when people say something, they try to make themselves understood by expressing the literal meaning. But on some occasions, the same words can have different meanings. For example, when a woman falls in love, her words to her lover may imply something special. When she says that she feels cold, she might actually mean that it's time for the man to move closer to her. In that case, it is an invitation to the man to hold her hands, or to put his arms around her.

Not, it seems, if your name is Sam Walton.THE RICHEST MAN IN AMERICA, DOWN HOMEArt HarrisHe put on a dinner jacket to serve as a waiter at the birthday party of The Richest Man in America. He imagined what surely awaited: a mansion, a "Rolls-Royce for every day of the week,"dogs with diamond collars, servants everywhere.Then he was off to the house, wheeling past the sleepy town square in Bentonville, a remote Arkansas town of 9,920, where Sam Walton started with a little dime store that grew into a $6 billion discount chain called Wal-Mart. He drove down a country road, turned at a mailbox marked "Sam and Helen Walton," and jumped out at a house in the woods.It was nice, but no palace. The furniture appeared a little worn. An old pickup truck sat in the garage and a muddy bird dog ran about the yard. He never spotted any servants."It was a real disappointment," sighs waiter Jamie Beaulieu.Only in America can a billionaire carry on like plain folks and get away with it. And the 67-year-old discount king Sam Moore Walton still travels these windy back roads in his 1979 Ford pickup, red and white, bird dogs by his side, and, come shooting season, waits in line like everyone else to buy shells at the local Wal-Mart."He doesn't want any special treatment," says night manager Johnny Baker, who struggles to call the boss by his first name as a recent corporate memo commands. Few here think of his billions; they call him "Mr. Sam" and accept his folksy ways. "He's the same man who opened his dime store on the square and worked 18 hours a day for his dream," says Mayor Richard Hoback.By all accounts, he's friendly, cheerful, a fine neighbor who does his best to blend in, never flashy, never throwing his weight around.No matter how big a time he had on Saturday night, you can find him in church on Sunday. Surely in a reserved seat, right? "We don't have reserved seats," says Gordon Garlington III,pastor of the local church.So where does The Richest Man in America sit? Wherever he finds a seat. "Look, he's just not that way. He doesn't have a set place. At a church supper the other night, he and his wife were in back washing dishes."For 19 years, he's used the same barber. John Mayhall finds him waiting when he opens up at 7 a.m. He chats about the national news, or reads in his chair, perhaps the Benton County Daily Democrat, another Walton property that keeps him off the front page. It buried the Forbes list at the bottom of page 2."He's just not a front-page person," a newspaper employee explains.But one recent morning, The Richest Man in America did something that would have made headlines any where in the world: He forgot his money. "I said, 'Forget it, take care of it next time,'" says barber Mayhall. "But he said, 'No, I'll get it,' and he went home for his wallet."Wasn't that, well, a little strange? "No sir," says Mayhall, "the only thing strange about Sam Walton is that he isn't strange."But just how long Walton can hold firm to his folksy habits with celebrity hunters keeping following him wherever he goes is anyone's guess. Ever since Forbes magazine pronounced him America's richest man, with $2.8 billion in Wal-Mart stock, he's been a rich man on the run, steering clear of reporters, dreamers, and schemers."He may be the richest by Forbes rankings," says corporate affairs director Jim Von Gremp, "but he doesn't know whether he is or not — and he doesn't care. He doesn't spend much. He owns stock, but he's always left it in the company so it could grow. But the real story in his mind is the success achieved by the 100,000people who make up the Wal-Mart team."He's usually back home for Friday sales meetings, or the executive pep rally Saturday morning at 7 a.m., when Walton, as he does at new store openings, is liable to jump up on a chair and lead everyone in the Wal-Mart cheer: "Give me a W! Give me an A! Give me an L! Louder!"And louder they yell. No one admits to feeling the least bit silly. It's all part of the Wal-Mart way of life as laid down by Sam: loyalty, hard work, long hours; get ideas into the system from the bottom up, Japanese-style; treat your people right; cut prices and margins to the bone and sleep well at night. Employees with one year on board qualify for stock options, and are urged to buy all they can.After the pep rally, there's bird hunting, or tennis on his backyard court. But his stores are always on his mind. One tennis guest managed to put him off his game by asking why a can of balls cost more in one Wal-Mart than another. It turned out to be untrue, but the move worked. Walton lost four straight games.Walton set up a college scholarship fund for employees' children, a disaster relief fund to rebuild employee homes damaged by fires, floods, tornadoes, and the like. He believed in cultivating ideas and rewarding success."He'd say, 'That fellow worked hard, let's give him a little extra,'" recalls retired president Ferold F. Arend, who was stunned at such generosity after the stingy employer he left to join Wal-Mart. "I had to change my way of thinking when I came aboard.""The reason for our success," says Walton, in a company handout, "is our people and the way they're treated and the way they feel about their company. They believe things are different here, but they deserve the credit."Adds company lawyer Jim Hendren: "I've never seen anyone yet who worked for him or was around him for any length of time who wasn't better off. And I don't mean just financially, although a lot of people are. It's just something about him — coming into contact with Sam Walton just makes you a better person."

Shocked, the lord asked what he had been living on in London."Oh, the usual, sir," came the reply. "Pheasant, salmon, grouse and venison."。
