　　青春英語美文：未來的接班人

　　Tom is applying for a job as a signalman for the local railroad, and is told to meet the inspector at the signal box.

　　The inspector decides to give Tom a pop quiz, asking, "What would you do if you realized that two trains were heading towards each other on the same track?"

　　Tom says, "I would switch one train to another track."

　　"What if the lever broke?" asks the inspector.

　　"I'd run down to the tracks and use the manual lever," answers Tom.

　　"What if that had been struck by lightning?" challenges the

　　inspector.

　　"Then," Tom continues, "I'd run back up here and use the phone to call the next signal box."

　　"What if the phone was busy?"

　　"In that case," Tom argues, "I'd run to the street level and use the public phone near the station".

　　"What if that had been vandalized?"

　　"Oh, well," says Tom, "in that case I'd run into town and get my Uncle Leo."

　　This puzzles the inspector, so he asks, "Why would you do that?"

　　"Because he's never seen a train crash."

　　青春英語美文：人在旅途

　　Wherever you are, and whoever you may be,

　　there is one thing in which you and I are

　　just alike,at this moment, and in all the moments

　　of our existence.We are not at rest;

　　we are on a journey. Our life is not a mere fact;

　　it is a movement, a tendency, a steady,

　　ceaseless progress towards an unseen goal.

　　We are gaining something, or losing something, every day.

　　Even when our position and our character seem to

　　remain precisely the same, they are changing.

　　For the mere advance of time is a change.

　　It is not the same thing to have a bare field

　　in January and in July. The season makes the difference.

　　The limitations that are childlike in the child are childish

　　in the man.Everything that we do is a step

　　in one direction or another. Even the failure to do something

　　is in itself a deed. It sets us forward or backward.

　　The action of the negative pole of a magnetic needle is

　　just as real as the action of the positive pole.

　　To decline is to accept — the other alternative.

　　Are you nearer to your port today than you were yesterday?

　　Yes, — you must be a little nearer to some port or other;

　　for since your ship was first launched upon

　　the sea of life you have never been still

　　for a single moment; the sea is too deep,

　　you could not find an anchorage if you would;

　　there can be no pause until you come into port.
