15、ad learnt singing lessons since childhood. Occasionally, though, a great voice comes through untrained, a voice that is unbelievably, naturally beautiful. Mahalia Jackson had such a voice. Without having had a lesson, she was able to attract listeners with her magnificent voice that never seemed for

16、ced or pretended.Mahalia Jackson was a gospel singer. She preferred to sing the soul music or folk songs rather than popular songs or rocks. Since financial rewards didnt concern her, she refused many opportunities to become wealthy. She sang for the simple country people and also for the rich, some

17、times. But she never changed her style or her point of view.At one point, after some discussions, her husband advised her to try out for a regular stage role. Then, she reluctantly paid 2. 5 dollars for a song sheet and went to the interview. All the judges agreed to offer her the part, for they wer

18、e highly impressed. At this point, however ，her husband got a job ，and she turned down the offer. She wanted to go on singing at concerts.Mahalia Jackson was a down-to-earth person, showing no self-pride. She considered her singing talent a gift from God and accepted it humbly. She would help box-of

19、fice clerks and would even help sell tickets out front, if necessary. Therefore ，she was loved by people around her.Perhaps Mahalia Jacksons greatest moment was singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at President John F. Kennedys inauguration (就职仪式）The national anthem may never have been sung better.31.

22、 the third president of the United States, was a good and tireless writer, and he wrote The Declaration of Independence. There is much we can learn from him. Here are some of the things he said and wrote:Go and see. Jefferson believed that a free man obtains knowledge from many sources besides books

23、, and personal investigation is important as well.Judge for yourself. Jefferson refused to accept other peoples opinions without careful thought. “Neither believe nor reject anything，” he wrote to his nephew.Learn from everyone. Jefferson once visited the French nobleman, Lafayette, and said to him,

24、 “You must go into the peoples home as I have done ，look into their cooking pots and eat their bread. If you will only do this, you may find out why people are dissatisfied. ”Do what you believe is right. In a free country, there will always be conflicting ideas， and this is a source of strength. It

25、 is not unquestioning agreement but conflict that keeps freedom alive. Though Jefferson was for many years the object of strong criticism, he never answered his critics. He expressed his philosophy, “There are two sides to every question. If you take one side with decision and act on it with effect,

26、 those who take the other side will of course resent(憎恶）your actions. ”Trust the future and trust the young. Jefferson felt that the present should never be chained to customs which have lost their usefulness. “The earth belongs to the living generation. ” He didnt fear new ideas, nor did he fear th

It was no picnic!Late one evening ，I could hear the nurses in the next room repeatedly talking to a new

31、 patient. “Sandy, your mom is here. Open your eyes. ” This had gone on throughout the night. “Sandy ，your dad has some flowers for you. Open your eyes and look at them. ” I asked the nurse as she checked in on me what had happened to Sandy. The nurse said that Sandy was about 17 and had been involve

32、d in a car wreck. She was in a deep coma (昏迷）， not in good shape. Over the next few nights ，I started talking to Sandy. Although, it was said silently, I started to urge her to open her eyes or say something. Her parents visited with me one evening, and they seemed to be from an important family but

33、 in much grief, much like the faces of those that had visited me. And there I was speechless, immobile and had no real way of easing (减轻）their pain. It became very important to me to pray for her recovery, not my own. In some strange way, I believed that if Sandy would just open her eyes ，my own sit

34、uation would get better.Sandy never came out of the coma as far as I know. During my stay in hospital, there were many times I felt like I was in an emotional coma.
