He thought that if he hid in the restroom, he could ride to New York without paying. But a passenger at the back of the bus saw him. She tapped(拍)the person in front of her on the shoulder and said, There39。s a bum in the restroom. Tell the bus driver. That passenger tapped the person sitting in front of him. Tell the bus driver there39。s a bum in the restroom, he said. The message was passed from person to person until it reached the front of the bus. But somewhere along the way, the message changed. By the time it reached the bus driver, it was not There39。s a bum in the restroom but There39。s a bomb(炸彈)in the restroom. The driver pulled over to the side of the highway(高速公路)at once and called the police. When the police arrived, they told the passengers to get off the bus and stay far away. Then they closed the highway. That soon caused a 15milelong traffic jam. With the help of a dog, the police searched the bus for two hours. Of course, they found no bomb. Two similarsounding English words also caused trouble for a man who wanted to fly from Los Angeles to Oakland, California. His problems began at the airport in Los Angeles. He thought he heard his flight announced, so he walked to the gate, showed his ticket, and got on the plane. Twenty minutes after takeoff, the man began to worry. Oakland was north of Los Angeles, but the plane seemed to be heading west, and when he looked out his window all he could see was ocean. Is this plane going to Oakland? he asked the flight attendant. No, she said. We39。re going to AucklandAuckland, New Zealand. Because so many English words sound similar, misunderstandings among Englishspeaking people are not unmon. Most misunderstandings are much less serious. Every day, people speaking English ask one another questions like these: Did you say seventy or seventeen? Did you say that you can e or that you can39。t? Similarsounding words can be especially confusing(混淆)for people who speak English as a second language. When a Korean woman who lives in the United States arrived at work one morning, her boss asked her, Did you get a plate? No. she answered, wondering what in the world he meant. She worked in an office. Why did the boss ask her about a plate? All day she wondered about her boss39。s strange question, but she was too embarrassed to ask him about it. At five o39。clock, when she was getting ready to go home, her boss said, Please be on time tomorrow. You were 15 minutes late this morning. Sorry, she said. My car wouldn39。t start, and… Suddenly she stopped talking and began to smile. Now she understood. Her boss hadn39。t asked her, Did you get a plate? He had asked her, Did you get up late? Auckland and Oakland. A plate and up late. When similarsounding words cause a misunderstanding, probably the best thing to do is just to laugh and learn from the mistake. Of course, sometimes it39。s hard to laugh. The man who traveled to Auckland instead of Oakland didn39。t feel like laughing. But even that misunderstanding turned out all right in the end. The airline paid for the man39。s hotel room and meals in New Zealand and for his flight back to California. Oh well, the man later said. I always wanted to see New Zealand.(1)A man got on the bus and hid in the bus restroom with a bomb. (2)The 15milelong traffic jam was caused by the man in the restroom.

Especially, as children and teenagers, even adults, people make their friends based on proximity (鄰近) more than anything else. Even in a college classroom, the students may not make friends with those who have similar personalities and interests. It39。s the people they really sit next to. Clearly, who stands to you has the greatest influence on you. As Jim Rohn has widely said. You are average (平均) of five people you spend the most little with. Over the past ten months, I39。ve paid Ryan, it Famous writer of several bestselling books, to help with the book I39。m writing. Working with him has shown me just how low my standards for my work are. For example, every time I send him a drab (草稿), he shows me how it could be 10 times better, and he holds me to that standard. ▲ It39。s because that I don39。t know what I don39。t know. Working with Ryan has made me realize what is possible and what it takes to create something powerful. Like Ryan, my business partner Richard has wonderful ideas and far different experience than I have. He has written 36 New York Times Bestsellers. He39。s been speaking and doing events for 20 years. Richard always performs at high levels, and he is also very strict with me because my performance is a reflection (反映) on him. It39。s not a bad thing because it creates high pressure (壓力) to help me make great progress in
