“Start out at that end,” she said. “Just go along the line and   45  what you want. At the other end they’ll tell you how much you have to pay.”
“I soon learned that’s how everything works in the US,” the old man later told a friend. “ 46  is a cafeteria here. You can get anything you want   47  you are willing(自愿的) to pay the price. You can even get success, but you’ll never get it if you wait for someone to   48  it to you. You have to get up and get it yourself.”
