James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9.There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.
"J.C., "he replied.
She thought he had said "Jesse", and he had a new name.
Owens ran his first race at age 13.After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second? year student in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.
A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.
The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African?American winners.
"It was all right with me, "he said years later."I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway."
Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.
Owens? Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles and dogs.
"Sure, it bothered me, "he said later." But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat."
In time, however, his gold medals changed his life."They have kept me alive over the years, "he once said. "Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard."

Just outside the northern Italian town of Bra, there rises a church tower with a clock that is a half hour slow. Though not far from the industrial city of Turin,Bra smells of roses,and leisure(悠闲)is the law. It is both the home of an international movement that promotes slow food and one of Italian cities that have joined the slow cities. In Bra, the population is 27,866. The town fathers have declared that all small food shops be closed every Thursday and Sunday. They forbid cars in the town square. All fruits and vegetables served in local schools must be organic(有机的). And as the movement goes well,the slow concept gradually spreads across Europe.
The argument for a Slow Europe is not only that it is good,but also that it can work. The Slow City Movement, which started in 1999,has improved local economies(经济)by promoting local goods and tourism. Young Italians are moving from larger cities to Bra,where unemployment is only 5 percent,about half the nationwide rate. Slow food and wine festivals draw thousands of tourists every year. Shops are doing well,many with sales rising at a rate of 15% per year.“This is our answer to the world,”says Paolo Saturnini,the founder of Slow Cities.
France is in favor of slow economics. Most outsiders have long been doubtful of the French model:short hours and long vacations. Yet the French are more productive than those in the United States and Britain,and have been for years.
The mystery of French productivity has risen an Europe-wide debate about the advantages of working more slowly.
