Jay Wilson was my English teacher at Lake Forest High School. It was him    36    realized my potential in writing, and his    37    made me a writer eventually.

He was kind to me, but I had no    38    that he took particular notice of me. There were other   39    kids in the class, and soon I fell back into my usual    40   and thought that I was just a little over average in most things. Near the end of the term, we began to read the play--Macbeth. Believe me, this is not an easy play for high school students to understand,   41    I spent a lot of time reading it. After working till the night before it was due, I wrote a paper about the    42    — the first paper I typed on a typewriter — and turned it    43    the next day.

I got a good    44    on it, and below the grade Mr. Wilson wrote, “Sure    45    you become a writer.” That was it. Those six words were written in his clear and neat handwriting. It was the first time he or anyone had    46    in any way that writing was a    47   option for me. We’d never had any writers in our family line, and we didn’t know any writers personally, even    48   , so writing for a living didn’t seem something    49    to me. But then, just like that, Jay Wilson tapped my hidden    50     and let me see a wider world.

Over the next 10 years, I often    51    about Mr. Wilson’s six words. Whenever I felt discouraged, it was those six words that came back to me and gave me    52   . When a few instructors in college gently and not-so-gently tried to tell me I had no talent, I held Mr. Wilson’s    53    before me to protect myself. I didn’t    54   what anyone else thought. Mr. Wilson, head of the whole English department at Lake Forest High,    55    I could be a writer. So I put my head down and struggled forward.  396

Worlds of Fun

Location: Worlds of Fun is located off Highway 435 in Kansas City, Missouri.

History: Worlds of Fun was opened on May 26, 1973, at a cost of 25 million dollars. Loosely themed around the Jules Verne book, Around the World in Eighty Days, the park was founded by Hunt Midwest Company. In 1982, Hunt Midwest bought a nearby waterpark, Oceans of Fun. In 2013, Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun were combined to a one ticket admission, providing all guests with access to 235 acres of amusement and water rides.

Hours:  Worlds of Fun is open from April through Halloween.

Tickets: Buy and print online. Always try to buy your tickets in advance, to save time when you get to the park.

Reservations: Worlds of Fun sells “Fast Lane” cards that save riders’ time by allowing them to bypass the majority of wait for most of rides and attractions including Mamba, Prowler, and Patriot. Ride as many times as you want all day long.

Strategy(策略): Most visitors tend to begin the day with Prowler, the hottest attraction in the park. Use that tendency to your advantage and head to the Patriot first. After that, try the Dragons. Then work your way back to the Prowler. After riding the Prowler, there is only one coaster left, Mamba. Hit it next. If the park is not very crowded, you can ride Boomerang on the way to Mamba. After riding Mamba, head back for a ride on the Wolf. By then you will have tried most of the popular rides and attractions in the shortest possible time.

News: In 2014, Worlds of Fun is adding Steel Hawk, a ride that will take guests up 301 feet in the air and spin them at a 45-degree angle for a 60-second flight. Wait to have a try!

Going Green

For career(职业) changers thinking about growth and advancement potential, forget the blue-collar and white-collar categories: Green is the way to go. According to Bracken Hendricks, a senior fellow at the Center for Global Progress, careers that promote environmental responsibility will become main stream within a decade. “The growth in green careers will be like the Internet boom, which not only created new jobs, but also had an influence on the overall economy(经济),” he says.

The increasing environmental problems and need for eco-friendly products and services are creating a new job section of green-collar jobs. Many countries of the world have realized the importance and need for energy-saving products and services. It is expected that by 2025 about 25% of the jobs in developed countries will be of green-collar jobs. Doesn’t the data look promising for the future?

Green-collar jobs have become a bright career chances for all. And jobs will pop up at every income level, from environmental manager to gardener. For example, many countries including the United States have understood that fossil fuels have negative effect on the environment which can later become a serious danger to mankind. As a result, possibilities are being explored to find alternatives to satisfy demands in a better way. The increasing demand of newer resources(资源) has creating the need for experts and researchers who can find better ways to deal with the ongoing needs. In addition, in order to meet the increasing demands of environment-friendly equipment, both green product designer and educated and trained workers are needed. Management of environmental organizations also demands a large number of environmental managers.

Where can you find green-collar jobs? Internet is undoubtedly the best way to find information on almost any matter. Nowadays, different kinds of jobs are being posted online. Search through a couple of job websites to look for a bright future in energy conversion and recycling of waste management. Check regularly and find the right work for yourself. People who read newspapers can also find different kinds of green-collar jobs.

A. To explain the importance of  technology.

B. To provide evidence of his recent research.
