Question

英语专用名词
Ben Carson,a doctor at Johns Hopkins Children's Center,
talks about how he grew up in a poor Detroit neighborhood,where peer pressure almost controlled his behavior and even his clothes.He wanted so badly to be considered cool that he begged his mother to buy him an expensive Itlian shirt.
"My mother made me a deal," Carson remembers."She said
,'I'll give you all the money I make next week.You'll be in charge of the family finances-buying food and other necessities and paying the bills.whatever you have left over you can spend on whatever you want.'"
"I thought,this is going to be great," Carson says.
"I bought things we needed most and then began going
through the bills.Of course I ran completely out of
money long before everything was paid."
"Then I realized my mother,with her third-grade education,was a financial genius-just to keep food on our table and clothes on our backs with such a small
sum of money.I'd been a fool.I wanted her to buy me a $75 shirt when she only took home $100 a week,cleaning other people's floors and washing their toilets.I tool a hard look at my behavior and wondered
who I could be so selfish."
"I started studying again.My grades went back up to A's .Some of my peers laughed at me because I did not follow their pattern .But I refused to let that trouble me,because I had a goal."
The experience had a lasting effect."I not only saw
and felt the difference my mother mother made in my life,L am living out that difference as a man."
