After an accident washed up Marina Murphy’s career as a dancer，she wanted to try something different. She set her sights on going to America from Ireland. Marina believed that she would have chances there and could do something she wanted to do.
Full of hope，Marina packed her things，said goodbye and set sail for the United States. Along the way，Marina pictured herself becoming famous in Hollywood as a movie star. She imagined living a better life.
Shortly after Marina arrived，she did everything she could to make a living. She spent very little money and did several part - time jobs. She pursued（追求）acting as well but she was refused many times. With so much failure，Marina’s dream became hopeless. She wondered if she had made a big mistake.
One day，Marina sat on a park bench crying. Her situation was nothing like her dreams. She had a feeling that she wouldn’t be able to build a good life. An elderly man sitting nearby asked Marina if she was OK. Too sad to care，Marina shared her life with the stranger.
“Don’t jump ship now. Give yourself more time to see if you will sink（下沉）or swim. I believe that things will get better，” he said with a kind smile. She thought about his words and then thanked him. That old man was right. She needed to accept both the bad and the good.
Marina tried hard to test the waters for a year. In that year，Marina surprised herself by taking to life in America like a duck to water.

______________________________.
2. What happened at the park?
