(2019·新疆维吾尔自治区普通高考第二次适应性检测)Dwight Morrow was a famous banker and diplomat (外交官) of America in the 20th century. Once, Morrow travelled in Rugby, England after working there for a period of time. During this period, he left the station nearby to enjoy the scenery there. After walking for a while, he found he couldn't find his way back. He felt worried, so he asked a local boy who was passing by him for the way. The boy told him, “Turn right from here until you see a grocery store and then turn left from there. Go straight on and you will find a place with a fourstreet crossroads ... ”
With that, the boy thought for a while and went on to say, “When you get there, you are not far from the station. Then you'd better ask someone else. Even if I tell you now, you may not remember when you get there.” Following the boy's directions, Morrow got to the fourstreet crossroads pretty soon, and then asked a passerby there and quickly turned back to the station where he began.
This was a small matter but it had a big influence on Morrow. He told people about this experience many times in his later life and even wrote about it in one of his books. Morrow realized that each person's ability is limited and many problems cannot be solved in one day. Thus, we must act step by step and reach our goals gradually.
