Reading,Section Three:,Detailed Reading,2-3-1,Cultural background,III.Cultural background,The American character is an interesting thing.Theodore Roosevelt told a reporter that the grizzly bear should be the symbol of America,not the eagle.He likens America to the grizzly bear,especially in that it is solitary.He goes on to say that“The world will never love us.They may respect us,they might one day fear us,but they will never love us,for we have too much audacity.”It has been said that while most empires turned complacent as they grew successful,the United States has turned more neurotic and industrious.There are a near infinite number of reasons for this,but as George Carlin pointed out,it can be worthwhile to look at a persons parents.“The American personality might be characterized as an easygoing,sentimental,fair-minded ruthlessness.We tie yellow ribbons round the old oak tree at the same moment we dispatch a wing of B-52s to carpet-bomb the enemy,”said Tony Blankley.,Section One:,Pre-reading Activities,My Stroke of Luck,Section Four:,Consolidation Activities,Section Five:,Further Enhancement,11/165,It happened on the way home from a meeting in Fillmore,40 miles north of Los Angeles.My friend Noel Blanc,a helicopter pilot,offered to give me a ride back to the city.We were 50 feet in the air when we collided with a small plane flown by a flight instructor and his young student.Noel and I survived,but the men in the plane died instantly.,I dont remember being pulled from the wreckage or the ambulance trip to a nearby hospital.But I do remember my wife,Anne,staring down at me on my gurney.After hearing of the accident,Anne took a helicopter to reach me.She insisted on moving me to our neighborhood hospital in L.A.,Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.Another helicopter ride.Just what I needed!,My Stroke of Luck,Section Two:,Global Reading,Section Three:,Detailed Reading,3.text1-S,Section One:,Pre-reading Activities,My Stroke of Luck,Section Four:,Consolidation Activities,Section Five:,Further Enhancement,12/165,But Anne was right.In L.A.I could get the best care for my spinal injury and start seeing psychiatrists for my very real“survivors guilt”.Anne has such good judgment and intuition;she rarely makes a wrong decision.After all,she first saved my life in 1958,when she refused to let me join film producer Mike Todd on his fatal flight.,She saved me again after my stroke in 1995,when I became depressed and suicidal.,Annes secret is that she learns from life,then moves on.Born in Hanover,Germany,she fled to Belgium to escape fascism as a teenager.She then moved to Paris,surviving the occupation by putting her linguistic ability to work.Fluent in French,English,Italian and her native German,she supported herself by placing German subtitles on French films.,My Stroke of Luck,Section Two:,Global Reading,Section Three:,Detailed Reading,3.text2-S,Section One:,Pre-reading Activities,Section Four:,Consolidation Activities,Section Five:,Further Enhancement,13/165,We met in 1953 when,I was in Paris to star in,Act of Love,.,I was looking for an assistant,and Anne Buydens showed up at my dressing room for an interview.She wore a blue suit with a white collar,and had very delicate wrists and ankles.Quite striking.I explained the position and she politely said,“I dont think this jobs right for me.”,I was miffed.Here I was,an American movie star.,I expected her to be eager for the job.,She did accept the position,but only on a temporary basis.And she eventually agreed to go out with me,which had been my first thought anyhow.,But that took some doing on my part too.,After our first meeting,I called to invite her to supper at Tour d Argent,one of Pariss best restaurants,with fantastic views of the Seine.“No,”she said,“Im tired.I think Ill just make myself some eggs and go to bed.”,My thought then was,to hell with her.,My Stroke of Luck,Section Two:,Global Reading,Section Three:,Detailed Reading,3.text3-S,Section One:,Pre-reading Activities,Section Four:,Consolidation Activities,Section Five:,Further Enhancement,14/165,But it was just that poignant style that made me fall in love.During the following months,while I was filming,Ulysses,in Italy,Anne often met up with me.In 1954,when our next jobs threatened to keep us apart for months at a time,I realized I didnt want to lose her and asked her to marry me.,We slipped away to Las Vegas to tie the knot.,Forty-seven years of marriage is quite a journey.Anne has kept me going through some of the hardest times,which hasnt always been easy,given that Im sometimes an actor wrapped up in his ego.,After the crash,I couldnt sit without extreme pain.When we went out,Anne would put me in the rear of the station wagon,where I could stretch out.At dinner with friends,shed set a place for me as if it were the most natural thing in the world to eat lying on the couch.,She consoled me during my survivors anguish,but what she wouldnt tolerate and heres the important thing was me feeling sorry for myself.,My Stroke of Luck,Section Two:,Global Reading,Section Three:,Detailed Reading,3.text4-S,Section One:,Pre-reading Activities,Section Four:,Consolidation Activities,Section Five:,Further Enhancement,15/165,Then again,Ive never seen her feel sorry for herself either.Thirty years ago Anne underwent diagnostic surgery after finding a lump in her breast.Her doctor reported the tumor was malignant,and it was spreading.He encouraged me to authorize him to remove Annes breast then and there.I did.,After,I felt guilty having made that choice while she lay unconscious.Anne assured me that Id done the right thing.She dealt with the cancer,from which she has fully recovered,by helping others talking to groups about her experiences,and establishing Research for Womens Cancers with six fellow survivors.Over the years theyve raised$9 million to help finance a research facility at Cedars-Sinai.Anne recently read an article about the deplorable state of school playgrounds in L.A.,and started a program to rebuild and beautify them.,My Stroke of Luck,Section Two:,Global Reading,Section Three:,Detailed Reading,3.text5-S,Section One:,Pre-reading Activities,Section Four:,Consolidation Activities,Section Five:,Further Enhancement,16/165,My Stroke of Luck,Section Two:,Global Reading,Section Three:,Detailed Reading,3.text6-S,Section One:,Pre-reading Activities,Section Four:,Consolidation Activities,Section Five:,Further Enhancement,Thats my wifes method,finding ways her life can help others.Ive been the beneficiary of that practice many times.The afternoon I had my stroke,Anne was playing bridge with Barbara Sonata,and I was home getting a manicure.When my speech started to slur,the manicurist,a former nurse,immediately phoned Anne.My wife was home within ten minutes and had me at the hospital within an hour.,Although she was my rescuer,Anne,who believes in tough love,wasnt about to let me just lie around.During my recovery,she kicked me out of bed each morning to get me working with my speech therapist.She taught me exercises that helped her when she was learning to speak English,like putting a/d/before a/j/to say“just”.My therapist was impressed.One day,feeling proud of my progress,I said,“I think as a treat,tomorrow Id like to have breakfast in bed”.,17/165,My Stroke of Luck,Section Two:,Global Reading,Section Three:,Detailed Reading,3.text7-S,Section One:,Pre-reading Activities,Section Four:,Consolidation Activities,Section Five:,Further Enhancement,Anne looked at me and said,“Youd like breakfast in bed?I think youd better sleep in the kitchen!”The most difficult consequence of my stroke was the depression I suffered.While I was going through it,Anne endured my moods but didnt allow me to complain.,In the midst of writing my latest book,My Stroke of Luck,I had an epiphany,inspired by my wife.How to handle a stroke is how to handle life.The world is filled with people who have suffered one misfortune or another.What sets the survivors apart from the others is the willingness to move on,and to help others move on too.Anne has been doing that for as long as Ive known her.,1,276 words,18/165,It happened on the way home from a meeting in Fillmore,40 miles north of Los Angeles.My friend Noel Blanc,a helicopter pilot,offered,to
