Without hesitation（犹豫）, Nicholas said,“Well, Joe, this is my philosophical（哲学的） answer to your philosophical question:
“When I was a child in Austria and everything was taken care of for me by my parents, that was the best time of my life.
“When I was going to school and learning the things I know today, that was the best time of my life.
“When I got my first job and had responsibilities（责任） and got paid for my efforts, that was the best time of my life.
“When I met my wife and fell in love, that was the best time of my life.
“When World War II came, my wife and I had to flee Austria to save our lives. When we were together and safe on a ship to North America, that was the best time of my life.
“When we came to Canada and started a family, that was the best time of my life.
“When I was a young father, watching my children grow up, that was the best time of my life.

Every day, it is easy to see advertisements all around us. Look around. How many different advertisements can you see?
Often products show the names of the companies that made them. This is a popular form of advertising. The special picture or symbol, for example, logo, appears on many different products. When you see a logo, it is hard to forget the product or the company.
Many people buy a product because it is made by a certain company. In fact, some people only buy the products of the famous companies. They think it proves that they are fashionable and have a good taste.
It is common to find or hear advertisements on TV or on the radio. Most advertisements are very short for people to remember. Nike, for example, has a simple slogan used all around the world:“Just do it.” Advertisements often use funny situations as well. It is easy to remember an interesting ad.
All advertisements are designed to make people buy the products. An advertisement for a soft drink, for example, might show a group of fashionable young people who are having fun. The young people are all drinking the soft drink. Advertisers are saying to you, “Why don’t you buy it like these people? You can be young, modern and fashionable,too.”
You might think that advertisements do not affect you, but the next time you buy a soft drink, ask yourself: Why am I buying this special product?
From the first paragraph, we can learn that ____ .

The writer mentions “Nike” in the 4^th paragraph to show____.

The expression “Go for it!” is a way of encouraging someone to try something. What’s the meaning of it? “Go for it!” means you should not worry about failure or be too careful. You should take a chance and be brave.   But it is not the football played in most countries such as England, France or Japan, but the kind of football played in the United States and Canada.
One of the most exciting times in football comes when a team has failed, after three tries, to move the ball forward ten yards. The worst choice is to kick the ball and accept the present failure. You do so in order to get a good position for your team the next time when your team gets the ball. The more exciting choice is to try a fourth and final time to get the remaining yards needed.
 Some will shout, “Kick the ball!” But others will encourage the team to take a chance. “Go for it!” they will shout loudly.
In the 1980s, people began using this expression in many kinds of situations to encourage someone to be brave.
  No one knows for certain. But that is the chance when you decide to go for it. You put your bad feelings behind. You choose courage over safety. You hold your breath and go for it. These are the most important.

Ten years ago, when I was in high school，Mrs. White was my language teacher. One day at lunch time, I was about to eat my cold fish sandwich and she suddenly asked me if she could buy my lunch from me. She explained that I could use the money to buy a hot lunch from the cafeteria（食堂）. I was very pleased. I had never thought of going to the cafeteria to buy my lunch like other students. The food at the cafeteria was too expensive for my family.
Kids always complained about the cafeteria food but I really wanted to buy it. When we finished lunch that day, she told me that she was a Catholic and Catholics don’t eat red meat on Fridays --- they eat fish on Fridays. From then on, every Friday Mrs.White bought my fish sandwich and with the money I could buy a hot lunch from the cafeteria.
One year later, I learned from a classmate that Mrs.White was not a Catholic and her family was not rich. She bought my cold sandwich because she saw a little girl that was excited to have a hot lunch. She wanted to help me! I couldn’t help crying. I will never forget her kind heart.
