The jewellery designer
He was young and completely unknown, but Paul Waterhouse believed in himself. He'd heard that there was going to be a large exhibition for jewellery designers and he asked the organisers whether he could show some of his work. 'I was only 21,' he says, 'and they agreed, if I could show a complete collection.' So he went to the bank, borrowed £1,500 for materials, and began to work on new designs. 'The exhibition was fantastic. Although everyone else was much more experienced than I was, my designs were still praised.'
He decided to transfer his business to Canada and began to experiment with new materials: all sorts of stones from around the world, some totally new to him. 'As most of them weren't precious, it changed the way I approached design. It was great! I was able to produce much larger pieces of modern jewellery,' he says. 'Then I was asked by an advertising agency to design a wedding ring for a TV advert. The agency liked what I'd done, but their client, a car manufacturer, wanted something a little more traditional. I was happy to make changes and that work gave me a lot of free publicity.'
At the start of his career, Paul felt confident.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Doesn't say
A.She can return the loan on time.

第二篇 A Desert Between Paul and Clara
Paul had long promised to marry Clara. But at thirty-three he met and married Alice. Clara was driven mad.
Paul was taken to court. The judge ordered him to pay Clara $600 because of the broken promise. Paul had to borrow the money from a moneylender. He agreed to pay back $5 a month--for twenty years. His wages at the time were $16 a month.
Paul and Alice were poor but not unhappy. They had little enough food, certainly, even before the children began to-arrive. Each month Paul paid $5 to the moneylender.
He worked hard, never taking a holiday. In time, there were seven mouths to feed.
Illness was always with them. It grew serious when the oldest child was eight. The years of hunger weakened the family, because each month Paul paid $5. The details of the sickness were ugly, but the result was this: after twelve years of family life, Paul was alone in the world.
He lived alone, except for memories. Work was not now a god for him: it was a pain-killer. Each month he paid, and in time the twenty years ended. From that moment his wages were his own.
One day, it was a holiday-he went to the seaside. He sat down on a seat by the sea. A middle-aged woman came and sat down near him. They recognized each other at once.
The woman said, "The $600 has been in the bank since the day it was paid to me. It is now $6,000, and I have kept it for you. Will you let me share it with you?" "No," said Paul, gently. "Each thousand is a lost life in a desert between us. It can never bring any happiness."
