How do I like to travel?
　　Many people like to travel by plane, but I don’t like it because an airport is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late. you can’t open the window. You can’t choose（选择；挑选） the food. Planes are fast, but they still take hours to get out of the airport and into the city.
　　I like traveling by train. I think trains are safe. Railway stations are usually in cities. When you are late for a train you can catch（赶上） another one .you can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little more time.
　　I also like cars. You can start your journey when you want to, and you don’t need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you can carry(携带；拿) many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.

Albert was an ordinary worker in an oil company in America. His workmates gave a nickname（绰号）“Four dollars a bucket of oil” below his name whenever and wherever he wrote down his name.
As time went by, people forgot his real name. Later, when Rockefeller, the board chairman(董事长)of the oil company, heard of it, he was very surprised, so he invited Albert to come to his office.
“Some people give you a nickname for ‘Four dollars a bucket’. Why aren’t you angry?” asked Rockefeller with some puzzlement in his eyes.
“Oh! Mr. Rockefeller! I like this nickname very much, because ‘Four dollars a bucket’ is our company’s advertisement. As long as someone calls me‘ Four dollars a bucket’ once, I think it’s free advertisement for our company. It’s not necessary for me to get angry. Don’t you think so , Mr. Rockefeller?”
“Oh! What a wonderful man!” Rockefeller said excitedly when hearing Albert’s words “Young man! Work harder, you must be successful in the future! I believe in you!”
Five years later, Albert became the second board chairman after Rockefeller.
Later Albert said in one of his reports, “I don’t think we should feel frustrated when we have no way to do the world-shaking things. We should treat every thing actively because maybe our future success will begin from a small thing!”
【小题1】What was Albert in The oil company at the beginning?
