题目内容：
Ben Carson, a doctor at Johns Hopkins Children's Center, talks about how he grew up in a poorDetroit neighborhood, where peer (同龄人)pressure almost controlled his behavior and even hisclothes. He wanted so badly to be considered cool that he begged his mother to buy him an expensiveItalian shirt. "My mother made me a deal," Carson remembers. "She said, ' I'll give you all the money Imake next week. You'll be in charge of the family finances--buying food and other necessities andpaying the bills. Whatever you have left over you can spend on whatever you want. ' "
"I thought,this is going to be great," Carson says. "I bought things we needed most and thenbegan going through the bills. Of course ! ran completely out of money long before everything waspaid. "
"Then I realized my mother,with her third-grade education, was a financial genius (理财能手)--just to keep food on our table and clothes on our backs with such a small sum of money. I'dbeen a fool. I wanted her to buy me a $ 75 shirt when she only took home $100 a week, cleaningother people's floors and washing their toilets. I took a hard look at my behavior and wondered why Icould be so selfish. "
"I started studying again. My grades went back up to As. Some of my peers laughed at mebecause I did not follow their pattern. But ! refused to let that trouble me, because I had a goal. "
The experience had a lasting effect. "I not only saw and felt the difference my mother made inmy life ,! am living out(实现) that difference as a man. "
