One fine afternoon I was walking along the Fifth Avenue, when I remembered that it was necessary to buy a pair of socks．I   36  the first sock shop that caught my eye, and   37 , not more than 17, came forward. "What can I do for you, sir?" "I wish to   38  a pair of socks."   39  glowed. "Did you know that you had come into   40  in the world to buy socks?" I had not been   41  that, as my entrance had been accidental．"Come with me,”"said the boy happily．He began to   42  down from the shelves box after box．
"  43 , boy, I'm going to buy only one pair!" "I know that, but I want you to see how beautiful these are．Aren't they wonderful?" There was   44  an expression of joy,   45  he were revealing(透露） to me the   46  of his religion．I became far more interested in him than in the socks．"My friend,"said I, "if this is   47  the enthusiasm from freshness, and you can keep it up   48 , in ten years you’ll own every sock in the United States．"
My amazement at his pride in   49  will be understood by all who read this article．In many shops the customer has to wait for someone to   50  him．When   51  some clerk does notice you, you are made to feel as if you were interrupting him．  52  possibly that very clerk who is now so   53  began his career with enthusiasm．The freshness   54 ; He became a mechanical salesman．
I’ve observed such change in the lives of so many men in so many occupations that I've come to the   55  that the fastest road to failure is to do things mechanically．

As a boy growing up in India，I had longed to travel abroad. I used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s’ with great interest.
My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to Europe，where my father was to attend a meeting. We planned to travel to Belgium，Netherlands and West Germany.
I have vivid memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad. I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand during the flight to Frankfurt. We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew. The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable，even for someone like me，who is otherwise scared of flying.
After spending almost two weeks in Europe，we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport for our return flight. What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (萊茵河)，it was simply an unforgettable experience. I was in a sombre mood on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation，but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again，with the quality of their service.
Being the first airline to take me overseas，Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart. Even today，I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline. Flying，in general，for me，has always been an ordeal (terrible and painful experience)．Flying on Lufthansa，however，is something I always have and always will look forward to.

Robert Spring, a 19th century forger (偽造簽字者), was as good at his profession that he was able to make his living for 15 years by selling false signatures of famous Americans. Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he make some money by selling his small but genuine of early U.S. autographs (親筆簽字). Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began imitating signatures of George Washington and Ban Franklin and writing them on the title pages of old books. To make less the chance of detection (發(fā)覺), he sent his forgeries (偽造物) to England and Canada for sale and circulation (銷售).
Forgers have a hard time selling their products. A forger can't approach a respectable buyer but must deal with people who don't have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their work look real. For example, they buy old books to use the aged paper of the title page, and they can treat paper and ink with chemicals.
In Spring's time, right after the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the Southern states, so Spring invented a respectable maiden lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General "Stonewall" Jackson. For several years Miss Fanny's economic problems forced her to sell a great number of letters and manuscripts belonging to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity did not prevent Spring from dying in poverty, leaving sharp-eye experts the difficult task of separating this forgeries from the originals.
