16、ton did not invent the steamboat, as is commonly believed, he played an important role in making steamboat travel a reality. He was born in Pennsylvania in 1765.

17、er to support him politically and financially.Fulton entered London society after he painted Benjamin Franklins portrait. While abroad, Fulton left the arts for a career in shipbuilding. He was interested in the recently-invented steam engine, and thought it could be used to power ships. Fultons vis

18、ion was not original; many others had entered the field, and the unfortunate inventor John Fitch had built a working steamship already. But like Henry Ford, Fultons talent lay not in the invention but in the products application in the marketplace.Fulton didnt focus entirely on the steamboat. In 180

19、4, he tested the first submarine successfully, which he had built for the British Royal Navy. His invention would make him a celebrity upon his return to the United States two years later. Fultons partner Robert Livingston obtained an exclusive license for steamboat services on New Yorks Hudson Rive

20、r. It was time for Fulton to deliver.To build an efficient, reliable steamboat, Fulton used a special English steam engine. The ships bottom was flat and its stern was square. The steamboat Clermont made its debut (首次亮相) on August 17,1807,steamingup the river from New York to Albany, and it soon ent

21、ered commercial services. The hilly terrain of New York made water transport faster than land transport, and Fultons boat formerly known as the “North River Steamboat” was a hit.

Many young people who see themselves as future novelists choose journalism as a way of earning a living while de

25、veloping their writing skills. Although writing for newspapers and writing for books require different qualities, the aspiration (志向) to be a great writer is not one to be discouraged in a would-be journalist.Most people want their work to be recognized by others. This helps to give it value. Some p

26、eople also want themselves to be recognized, so that they have status (地位) in the eyes of society. It is not a bad motive to wish to be famous, but this must never become your main reason for being a journalist. You will not be a good journalist if you care more for impressing your audience than for

27、 serving their needs.Knowing the power of the printed or spoken word or image, some people enter journalism for the power it will give them to influence people. There is a strong belief that journalists control the mass media but the best journalists recognize their role as servants of the people. T

28、here is a difference between the desire to influence events for your own sake, and the desire to do it for other people.
