人与自我·敢于创新 (2023 山东枣庄中考改编)
A young man was on a train. As the train turned a corner, it slowed down and then a simple house appeared. The house looked so different from the grey buildings of the city that everybody on the train turned to look at it. Some passengers began to talk about it.
The young man was also interested in the house. He decided to get off at the next station and make his way to the house. The owner of the house said that he was trying to sell the house, but no one would buy it, as the noise of the trains passing nearby made it uncomfortable to live in.
The young man decided to buy the house at once for $30,000. He used it for advertising(做广告), as the house faced the railway turning. The train had to slow down at the turning, giving the passengers plenty of time to look at the house.The young man went to meet several businessmen and explained the advantages of placing advertisements on the side of the house. Finally, one businessman agreed to place some ads. The young man was paid $180,000 for three years of advertising.
In this world, turning disadvantages into advantages is the key to success.
