In Baltimore, Henson found a job as a cabin boy on a beautiful ship. For the next five years, Henson around the world. With the help of the ship’s captain and other members of the crew, Henson learned mathematics, history, geography, and many other .
Unable to find work anywhere else, Henson took a job in a shop in Washington, D.C. One day in 1887, a man came in to buy a hat. The man, Lieutenant Robert Peary, asked the owner if he knew anyone with at sea. Peary would soon travel to South America for the U.S. government. He needed experienced men to go with him.
The shop owner knew about the young man’s skills and experience on ocean journeys, he introduced Peary to Henson. Using his map-reading and sailing skills, Henson proved to be a worthy and smart seaman. One day Peary told Henson about his real dream: to be the first man to stand on “the top of the world” at the North Pole. He asked Henson to help him make his dream .
Over the next five years, the two explorers(探险家) made two trips together to the Arctic(北极). However, they were not able to reach the pole either time. The cold, wind, and ice were than either of them had ever imagined.
In 1908, Peary and Henson were ready to make their final challenge at reaching the North Pole. With four guides, they made a mad dash straight across the ice.

“Never give up!” It is my law of life. It has brought me . I learned the law from my father’s story.
My father was in a poor village in the north of Jiangsu, in China. When he was a young boy, he went to school in the morning, then in the fields till sunset. And then he did his homework midnight. Life was hard, because they had no !
At the age of 14, my father heard of the United States of America. It was the land of gold, the land where people can become rich.
“ don’t I go to America?”he thought to himself, full of hope.
So my father came to America. “I had thought it was easy to money in America,”he told me. “But when I arrived there, I realized it was not true. They did not like to hire me because I spoke English. Later, I worked in a small restaurant, cleaning up tables, dishes and sweeping the floor. Life was for the first few years. I worked from 10 am to 11 pm. I wanted to go to school to learn English, but it was impossible. I couldn’t the schooling.”
My father working hard, and reached his goal.
“Alan,”he often says to me. “If you want something, you have to work for it and never give up. Things do not come in life.”That is what I learned from my father.

What’s your idea about success? Some people say that beginners have all the luck, while others believe that success only with practice. In fact, I feel both of these statements (陈述) are not true all the time. Each is true in some ways not in others.
For example, I went to a drawing competition many years ago and surprisingly. As a prize, I got a film ticket to see “Titanic”. I was really because it was the first time I had taken part in any competition, Thinking that I might be lucky again, I joining in other art competitions, But the result was that I won again. I accepted the fact that the other people had a artistic ability than I did. Art was not something I was especially interested in and I had never practiced the different art skills. So, the I produced were not of a very high standard(水平).
These experiences taught me a lot. Though I might have been lucky , I also need to put in hard work. As we know, makes perfect. So I believe success builds on less luck and chance.
