　　Good-bye England Rose
Good-bye England rose;
May you ever grow in our heart
where lives were torn apart.
You called out to our country,
and you whispered to those in pain.
Now you belong to heaven.
And it seems to me you lived your
life like a candle in the wind,
never fading with the sunset
when the rain set in.
And your footsteps will always fall
here along England’s greenest hills;
your candle’ burned out long before,
your legend ever will.
Loveliness we’ve lost,
these empty days without your smile.
This torch we’ll always carry
for our nation’s golden child.
And even though we try,
the truth brings us to tears,
all our words cannot express the joy
you brought us through the years.
Good-bye England’s rose,
from a country lost without your soul,
who’ll miss the wings of your compassion⁹
more than you’ll ever know
G．Read the following paragraph .
　　How can we acquire stick-to-itiveness? There is no simple, fast formula. But I have developed a way of thinking that has rescued my own vacillating will more than once. Here are the basic elements:
　　“Won’t power. This is as important as will power. The ancient Chinese philosopher Mencius said, “Men must be decided¹⁰ on what they will not do, and then they are able to act with vigor¹¹ in what they ought to do.”
　　Discipline means choices. Every time you say yes to a goal or objective, you say no to many more. Every prize has its price. The prize is the yes; the price is the no. Igor Gorin, the noted¹² Ukrainian-American baritone, told of his early days studying voice. He loved to smoke a pipe, but one day his professor said, “ Igor, you will have to make up your mind whether you are going to be a great singer, or a great pipe smoker¹³. You can not be both.” So the pipe went.
　　Delayed gratification. M. Scott Peck, M.D., author of the best seller The Road less Traveled, describes this tool of discipline as “a process of scheduling the pain and pleasure of life in such a way as to enhance the pleasure by meeting and experiencing the pain first and getting it over with.”
The secret of such commitment is getting past the drudgery¹⁴ and seeing the delight. “The fact is that many worthwhile endeavors aren’t fun,” says one syndicated radio and TV commentator¹⁵. “ True, all work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy. But trying to turn everything we do into play makes for terrible frustrations¹⁶, because life—ven the most rewarding one—includes circumstances that aren’t fun at all. I like my job as a journalist. It’s personally satisfying, but it isn’t always fun.”
