When a young man was 16，his father seriously said to him，"I'll give you whatever you want before you are 18．But after that，I won't care much about you，and you should give me whatever I want．"When his 18th birthday was coming，the young man began thinking about looking for a job．So he sent his resumes （简历）to many companies he liked on the Internet．"However，most got no replies，" he said，"Maybe they were surprised about my primary school education．"

By chance，one of his friends was looking for someone，who could work as an egg porter （搬运工） in the supermarket，for half a dollar a box．Facing lots of difficulties in getting a job，he said．" I'll take this job．At least I can make some money for my gas．"Then every day，he drove his car，his 18th birthday gift，to work in the supermarket．He did that for three months．

Later，he heard that a newspaper was looking for a network technician（ 网络技术员 ），so he asked for it．But they were also worried about his school education．He practiced his skill right in front of the computer，and showed the managers the web pages he had made．He started to work the next day，and became the leader of the network department（ 部门 ）in less than a year．

And now，the 23-year-old man is a boss．Last year，he started a magazine for children，with himself as the editor in chief（主编）．And the only writer was his father．

Cars are lots of fun, but they could also be dangerous. We have to be careful when we drive them or ride in them.
It's always a good idea to put on your seat belt when you're in a car. Why? Think about this example: You put an egg on a skateboard and give it a push. If the skateboard hits a stone, it will stop, but the egg won't. It will fly through the air, hit the ground and break.
Now, think what would happen if you tied the egg to the skateboard. When the skateboard hits a stone, the egg won't go flying; it will stay safely on the skateboard.
Volvo, a famous Swedish carmaker, was the first to use seat belts in 1849.
Air bags are also very important for car safety, because sometimes a seat belt isn't enough. If the car is going really fast and runs into something, seat belts could even hurt the people who wear them. Most new cars have air bags in front of and next to the seats. When a car hits something, its air bags will come out quickly in less than one second to keep the people inside safe.
