After graduating from college in 1932, I decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way up to sports announcer (播音员). I took the bus to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station. But I was refused every time. In one studio, a nice lady told me that big stations didn't want to accept inexperienced person-\to the countryside and find a small station that'll give you a chance,\

I returned home, Dixon in Illinois. While there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Smith Ward had opened a store and wanted a local sportsman to manage its sports department. Since I had played high school football in Dixon, I applied (申请). The job sounded just right for me. But I still failed in the interview. At that moment, mom's words came to my mind: \Davenport in Iowa. The program director, named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.

As I left his office, I felt frustrated (沮丧的). I asked aloud, \announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station?\

I was waiting for the lift when I heard MacArthur calling, \you know anything about football?\broadcast an imaginary(想象的)game. As a result, I did a wonderful job and was told to broadcast Saturday's game!

On my way home, I thought of my mother's words again: \you carry on, one day something good will happen.

Many of us don’t realize how important eye care is. It is said that if you take care of your body, then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Then what can we do? Should we take some medicine? No. Natural eye care should be put in a number one place.

There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not enough food, genes (基因) and age. Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you happen to work in front of the computer, it is best to take a break every once in a while. Something dirty can cause redness and they will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes, too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example, wearing sunglasses can serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from UV rays in the strong sunlight.

Some foods will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because exercise protects your eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.

All above are natural ways of eye care that help us keep healthy eyes. Being happy all the time can be good to a person’s eyesight, too. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is.
