Australia is nearly as large as the United States, but most of it is too dry to live in. Around the edge(边缘) of this huge dry part are large sheep and cattle farms. A few of them are as large as the smallest states in America. Often the nearest neighbors are many hundred miles away.
The two-way radio is very important to people who live on these great Australian farms. It works much like a telephone. A person can listen to someone else talk and give an answer.
When these radios first came into use, the Australian government set up a special(专门的，特别的) two-way radio programme(节目). Then, people on the large farms could talk to a doctor hundreds of miles away. They could tell the doctor about someone who was sick, and the doctor could let them know how to care for the sick person.
Since the large farms were so far from towns, the children could not to go to school. Radio schools were set up for them in some places. At a certain time each day, the boys and girls turn on their radios and listen to teachers in cities miles away.
Families on the large farms wanted to give news to their neighbors. “Round robin(知更鸟)” talks by radio were started to keep families in touch with each other. They could talk about who was getting married or who was sick or who was going away. The men could talk about their sheep and cattle and how much money the markets would pay for them. In many ways the radio became a newspaper for the farm people of Australia.
Shortly after I started out as a professional baseball player in the Tri-State League, I was fired. “Frank,” the manager said 1, “whatever you do after you leave here, put some2 and enthusiasm into your work!” Well, that was the 3 thing I expected him to say.
A week later,4, I was introduced to the New Haven. My first day here will always5 in my memory as a great event in my life. No one knew me in the league, so I was 6 to make myself the most enthusiastic ball player they'd ever seen. From the minute I7on the field, I acted like a man electrified. And I acted as if I were alive with a million8.
My biggest thrill came the following morning 9 I read in the New Haven newspaper: “This 10player, Frank, has a barrel (桶) of enthusiasm. He 11 our boys. They looked better than at any time this season.” The newspapers began 12 me the life of the team.
Within two weeks, enthusiasm took me from $250 a month to $1850 a month—it 13 my income by 700 percent! Two years after that, I was 14 third base for the St. Louis and multiplied my income by thirty times. Enthusiasm 15 did it; nothing but enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm is by far the highest paid 16 on earth. It helps you become more successful, and 17 a healthier, richer and happier life. “To become enthusiastic—act enthusiastically.” Put this rule into 18 for thirty days and be prepared to see astonishing 19. It may easily change your entire life. Can you acquire enthusiasm—or must you be born 20it? Certainly you can acquire it!
