       20世纪30年代,英国一个不出名的小镇里,有一个叫玛格丽特的小姑娘,自小就受到严格的家庭教育。父亲经常向她灌输这样的观点    无论做什么事情都要力争一流永远做在别人前头   而不能落后于人   即使是坐公共汽车你也要永远坐在前排    父亲从来不允许她说   我不能   或者   太难了  之类的话    

       对年幼的孩子来说,他的要求可能太高了,但他的教育在以后的年代里被证明是非常宝贵的。正是因为从小受到父亲的“残酷”教育,才培养了玛格丽特积极向上的决心和信心。在以后的学习、生活或工作中,她时时牢记父亲的教导,总是抱着一往无前的精神和必胜的信念,尽自己最大努力克服一切困难,做好每一件事情,事事必争一流,以自己的行动实践着“永远坐在前排”。    

       玛格丽特上大学时,学校要求学五年的拉丁文课程。她凭着自己____的毅力和____的精神,硬是在一年内全部学完了。令人____的是,她的考试成绩竟然____。  

       其实,玛格丽特不光是学业上____,她在体育、音乐、演讲及学校的其他活动方面也都一直走在前列,是学生中凤毛麟角的佼佼者之一。当年她所在学校的校长评价她说:“她无疑是我们建校以来最优秀的学生,她总是                ,每件事情都做得很出色。”    

       正因为如此,四十多年以来,英国乃至整个欧洲政坛上才出现了一颗耀眼的明星。她就是连续四年当选保守党领袖,并于1979年成为英国第一位女首相,雄踞政坛长达11年之久,被世界政坛誉为“铁娘子”的玛格丽特·撒切尔夫人。    

      “永远都要坐前排”是一种积极的人生态度,激发你一往无前的勇气和争创一流的精神。在这个世界上,想坐前排的人不少,真正能够坐在“前排”的却总是不多。许多人所以不能坐到“前排”,就是因为他们把“坐在前排”仅仅当成一种人生理想而没有采取具体行动。那些最终坐到“前排”的人,之所以成功,是因为他们不但有理想,更重要的是他们把理想变成了行动。    

       一位哲人说过:无论做什么事情,你的态度决定你的高度。撒切尔夫人的父亲对孩子的教育给了我们深刻的启示。

Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, "But, Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead."

  Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt-- a mistake 75% of US population make every day. The big question is why.

 There have been many myths about safety belt ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.

 Myth the Number One: It's best to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident.

  Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to "throw you clear" is able going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you'll have traveled through a windshield (挡风玻璃)or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times in cases where people are "thrown clear".

 Myth Number Two: Safety-bets "trap" people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.

Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation, not to be trapped in them.

 Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour (mph).

 Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 metres.
