Mr. Glen is a millionaire. Five years ago,after returning from abroad to his motherland, he
36 his small company. Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his extra expensive “school” fee. He always
37 his success to it.
At that time, Glen, who already got a Ph.D. degree,
38 to return to the homeland, starting a company. Before leaving, he bought a Rolex watch with the
39 made through years of work after school and the scholarships. At the airport he had to accept the
40 customs check. The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be taken down for
41 . Glen knew that carrying the specific goods out had to pay the tax, and he worried about paying
42 for his watch. So when he was checked, he told a lie that his watch was a
43 fake（假货）. When he was
44 of his “smarts”, immediately, in the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch,
45 cost nearly 100,000, into pieces
46 hearing Glen’ s words. Glen was
47 . Before he understood why, he was taken to
the office to be examined
48 . For many times of entry-exit
49 he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” wo
uld “enjoy” this special treatment. The officers looked over everything carefully in the box, and
50 him no matter what time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if
51 reusing and carrying fake and shoddy goods, he would be
52 according to law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after boarding the plane for long.
After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family, and his employees, too. He said that this made a deep
53 on him, because the additional high “school” fee that he had ever paid made him realize the value of
54 , which he would remember as the
55 of his success forever.
