《大學英語快速閱讀（3 第二版 新題型 南方版）》：
D General Garcia is dead now， but there are other Garcias.No man who has endeavored to carry out an enterprise where many hands were needed， has not been well—nigh appalled at times by the imbecility of the average man—the inability or unwillingness to concentrate on a thing and do it.
You， reader， put this matter to a test： you are sitting now in your office—six clerks are within call.Summon any one and make this request； “Please look in the encyclopedia and make a brief memorandum for me concerning the life of Correggio.” Will the clerk quietly say， “Yes， sir.” and do the task？ On your life， he will not.He will look at you out of a fishy eye and ask one or more of the following questions：
Who was he？
Which encyclopedia？
Where is the encyclopedia？
Was I hired for that？
Don't you mean Bismarck？
