They had no choice other than to tell their child to leave school and start helping them with their shop􀆳s work. Drake assimilated this and started waking up before sunrise and going to their shop and cleaning it. He was really a hard-working guy. He always wanted something big to happen in his life, but he knew that a change does not happen in a day. So he started teaching himself and completed all senior high school courses at the age of 18. When he turned 20, he got a job offer from an electrical company. He started working in that company, and every day after coming from his job, he would learn more and more about bulbs (灯泡) because he saw a lot of bulb production there. After some years he made a new improved bulb of his own. He was really excited to show it to his boss, but when the boss saw it, he wasn􀆳t interested in it and said it was of little use. But still, he believed in himself and didn􀆳t give up. After a few months, he thought of setting up his own factory where he and his wife would put the improved bulb into production. When they made the bulbs, they started selling them. No one was interested in those bulbs, but still, he kept believing in himself. One day when the sun was rising, he got an order of 1,000 pieces of the bulbs. This totally changed his life. After that, he started getting more and more orders. Drake在一家电气公司工作,勤奋好学的他研发了一种新式灯泡,但是老板对他的灯泡不感兴趣。于是他和妻子创业,虽经历多次失败,但他始终相信自己,从未放弃,最终取得成功。 1.Why did Drake􀆳s parents ask him to work in their shop when he was 12? A. They wanted him to teach himself. B.
