At the age of six months she was acquired, along with her sister, by John Ashley, a wealthy Massachusetts slaveholders. She became known as “Mumbet” or “Mum Bett.” For nearly 30 years Mumbet served the Ashley family. One day, Ashleys wife tried to strike Mumbets sister with a spade. Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead. Furious, she left the house and refused to come back. When the Ashleys tried to make her return, Mumbet consulted a lawyer, Theodore Sedgewick. With his help, Mumbet sued(起诉) for her freedom. While serving the Ashleys, Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new Massachusetts constitution. If the constitution said that all people were free and equal, then she thought it should apply to her. Eventually, Mumbet won her freedom- the first slave in Massachusetts to do so under the new constitution. Strangely enough, after the trial, the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for them as a paid employee. She declined and instead went to work for Segdewick. Mumbet died in 1829, but her legacy lived on in her many descendants(后裔). One of her great-grandchildren was W.E.B. Du Bois, one of the founders of the NAACP, and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights. Mumbets tombstone still stands in the Massachusetts cemetery where she was buried. It reads, in part: “She was born a slave and remained a slave and remained a slave for nearly thirty years. She could neither read nor write, yet in her own sphere she had no superior or equal.” ( ) 24.

No one had expected the job cuts, which broke with traditional ways of letting go of workers in China. Moreover, what was special about this case was that the day before the 400 were fired, they all received from their boss a giftthe book “Who Moved My Cheese?”The booka bestseller in the USis being used by men and women to deal with changes in their lives and work. Some large organizations, including Coca-Cola, Kodak and General Motors, ask their employees to read it in order to encourage them to be active towards changes.Cheese is something related to everyones livelihood-Our jobs, the industries we work in, relationships and love as well.With Chinas official entry into the WTO, the whole nation will face up to more changes and challenges. So what we should do once this “cheese” on which we are so dependent is moved?“Whatever challenges and changes we meet, we should face up to them bravely,” Jiang Hengwei, a civil servant said after reading the book.Professor Zhang Yang in Renmin University of China agrees. “We should change our way of thinking. The coming competitive foreign companies and products provide us with great chances to learn from them and improve our own products to meet international standards and be more competitive.” “With hard work and wisdom, we will create a much larger and better piece of cheese.” Zhang smiled confidently.（ ）29.

Thousands of years ago man looked at the stars and wondered about heavens. But the six planets that he could see with his eyes alone limited man. The Greeks studied astronomy over 2,000 years ago. They could see the size, color, and brightness of a star. They could see its place in the sky. They watched the stars move as he seasons changed. But the Greeks had no tools to help themselves study the heavens.Each new tool added to the field of astronomy helped man reach out into space. Until there were telescopes, man did not know much about the moon. He did not know that the planet called Saturn (土星) had rings around it. His sight was so limited that he could not see all the planets. In the early 1700s, people thought there were only six planets. Pluto (冥王星), the last of the nine planets to be discovered was seen until 1930. Before the spectroscopes (分光镜), man didnt know what kind of gas was in the sun or other stars, without radio telescopes (射电望远镜), we did not know that radio noise came from far in space. Today, astronomy is a growing science. We have learned more in the past fifty years than in the whole history of astronomy.（ ）32.

We all know people who have a relatively 47 life, yet are essentially unhappy while people who have suffered a great deal but 48 remain happy. The first 49 is gratitude. All happy people are 50 . Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to 51 , but its truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy. The second secret is 52 that happiness is a byproduct (副产品) of something else. The most obvious 53 are those pursuit that give our lives purpose - anything 54 studying insects to playing baseball.
