Ｈugh Troy,a well-known artist, was a very interesting and clever person who spent most of his life playing tricks for the joy of it.
One winter in the 1920s,while a student at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, Troy got hold of a very old and ugly wastebasket with a real rhinoceros(犀牛)foot as its base.He filled it with metal weights and tied 30 feet of clothes-line to either side. Late one night he and a friend caried it out onto campus (校园),pulling the lines straight between them. Every few feet they would lower it into the snow, their own footprints so far away as to raise no suspicions(怀疑).
The next morning someone noticed the prints and invited learned professors to come and have a look. Excitedly,they followed the rhinoceros tracks.Then they were led onto the ice covering Beeb Lake,which connected to where the school got its drinking water. There the tracks ended in a huge hole.
It was said that half the population of Cornell stopped drinking tap water.Those who continued to drink it insisted that it tasted like rhinoceros.

Taking care of lawns was not exciting or high-paying, but that didn’t matter. It taught me that any job is a good job and that whatever I was paid was more than I had before.
A newspaper reporter once asked me how someone could possibly live on a forty-hour-a-week minimum(最低的)pay.‘My father never worked just forty hours a week, and neither have I,’I replied.‘If you’re only working forty hours, you probably don’t want to do any better than you’re doing.’
In every job I’ve held
