49、onvenient Tool for Communication第二節(jié) 簡答題（滿分6分，共3小題，每題2分）I believe in my mother. My belief began when I was just a kid, when I dreamed of becoming a doctor. My mother was a maidservant. Through her work, she observed that successful people spent a lot more time reading than they did watching televisio

50、n. She announced that my brother and I could only watch two to three pre-selected TV programs during the week. In our free time, we had to read two books each from the Detroit Public Library and hand in written book reports to her. She would mark them up with check marks and underlined the important

51、 parts. Years later we realized her marks were a trick. My mother was illiterate (文盲的).

I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted

I also realized that immediate satisfaction wasnt going to get me anywhere. Success required intellectual preparation.
