2、ghteen months of hard work by more than 100 volunteers, the Bentwood Truck Museum is ready to open. The old factory had been scheduled to be destroyed. When Roger Haygood heard about the plans to tear down the building, he bought it so that he could store his collection of old trucks there. Then he
3、had the idea of turning the building into a truck museum. During the past year and a half, the old building has been transformed into a treasure chest of memories. Instead of a dark and dull house, the building has become a cheery, bright home for all kinds of trucks from the past. The museum now ho

9、rn an income. I tried journalism, but I didnt think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull. I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to s
10、atisfy a deep- down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words. It takes confidence to make a new start theres a dark period in- between where youre neither one thing nor the other. Youre out for dinner and people ask what
11、 you do, and youre too ashamed to say, “Well, Im writing a novel, but Im not quite sure if Im going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside. 3 Then I met an agent（代理商）who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, g
12、ot some wonderful feedback (反馈) . I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel. The next problem was finding a publisher. After two- and- a- half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publis
13、her offered me a book deal that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for. It feels like an unbelievable luck of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, theres no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract of the publisher to

17、oticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language? 4 According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain wh
18、ich processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the greater the effect is, the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were c
19、ompared with a group of “early bilinguals”, also called second language learners (SLL) before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners. Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a secondlanguage. But the longer a person wai
20、ted before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference. “Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language. ” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of t
21、he University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的), ” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding ofdifferent ideas. ” The finding
22、s were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance t

27、le drink too much, eat too much, smoke cigarettes or take drugs? Whats to blame for all the bad behavior? Most people would say that, while these self- destructive (自我毁灭的) acts can have many root causes, they all have one obvious thing in common: they are all examples of failures of self- control, l
28、acking the will power to resist them. According to a recent study, however, if you really think about it, something about that simple answer doesnt quite make sense. In fact, it turns out that sometimes its having will power that really gets you into trouble. Think back to the time you took your ver
29、y first sip (啜饮) of beer. Disgusting, wasnt it? When my father gave me my first taste of beer as a teenager, I wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it. And smoking? No one enjoys their first cigarette it tastes awful. So even though smoking, and drinking alcohol or coffee, can become temptati
30、on (诱惑) you need will power to resist, they never, ever start out that way. Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of self- control. Ironically (讽刺的是), only those who can control themselves well, rather than give in to them, can ever come to some day develop a 6 “
31、taste” for Budweiser beer, Marlboro cigarettes, or dark- roasted Starbucks coffee. We do it for social acceptance. We force ourselves to consume alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and even illegal drugs, in order to seem experienced, grown- up, and cool. These bad habits arent self- control failures far fr
32、om it. They are voluntary choices, and they are in fact self- control successes. Self- control is simply a tool to be put to some use, helpful or harmful.

45、n urge (欲望) to take a walk on my favorite trail. Being cold and dark also meant there was a good chance no one else would be out, so I decided to go.

46、felt like too much to bear. Eventually when my tears dried up, I headed home. Approaching my apartment door, I noticed something hanging on it. Probably another bill, I thought. While I struggled with my boots, I could see a card with my name on it through the clear plastic bag. Reaching in, I took
