environment, art and food each year.

Basilica and the Doge's Palace. But you should know walking along the streets isn't as easy as traveling on the

     In early autumn I applied for admission to college.I wanted to go nowhere but to Cornell University,
but my mother fought strongly against it.When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the
sports ground of Cornell, she tore it up.
     "You can't say it's not a great university, just because Papa went there."
     "That's not it at all.And it is a top university.” She was still holding the pieces in her hand.“But we
can't afford to send you to college."
     "I wouldn't dream of asking you for money.Do you want me to get a job to help support you and
Papa? Things aren't that bad, are they?"
     "No," she said."I don't expect you to help support us."
     Father borrowed money from his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop.His chief customers
were his old college friends.To get new customers, my mother had to help.She picked up a long
forgotten membership in the local league of women, so that she could get to know more people.Whether
those people would turn into customers was another question.I knew that my parents had to wait for quite a long time before their small investment (投资) could show returns.What's more, they had not wanted
enough to be rich and successful; otherwise they could not possibly have managed their lives so badly.
     I was torn between the desire to help them and change their lives, and the determination not to repeat
their mistakes.I had a strong belief in my power to get what I wanted.After months of hard study I won
a full college scholarship (奖学金).My father could hardly contain his pride in me, and my mother
eventually gave in before my success.
