    Barry Parker was a very successful businessman. He lived in a large house and drove a car. He wore expensive clothes and ate his meals in famous restaurants. His name was often in the newspaper. One day a newspaper reporter asked him, “What is the secret of your success(成功)?”
    Barry thought for a few moments and said, “I eat a special kind of fish.” “You eat a special kind of fish! What does that do?” “It makes my brain work better.” Barry said. “What kind of fish is it?” the reporter asked. “Give me fifty dollars and come back tomorrow. I'll have some for you.”
    The reporter gave Barry fifty dollars and returned the next day. “Have you got any special fish?” “Yes. Come into the house. It's in the refrigerator.”
    Barry took the reporter into his kitchen. He opened the refrigerator and took out a very small fish. “Here you are. Have this for dinner.”
The next day the reporter called on Barry again. “Did you eat the fish?” Barry asked her. “Yes, I fried it.” “Good, do you feel different today?” “No, I don't. And I think that fifty dollars was a lot to pay for such a small fish.” “Well done !” Barry said. “You see, the fish is working. You're using your brain now.”

阅读下文,回答相关问题。

                                                                                                          总方向
       黄河从大风沙的黄土高原,长江从桃花村落,柳絮堤岸的江南,珠江从南方太阳的亚热带,各有各的源,各有各的走法,却一样流注太平洋,因为有一个总方向。
       奔流向东方,又折向南方,最后才曲折地向东方。所以没有终于向北方或者向南方,而有法则一样向东方,因为有一个总方向。
      洪流奔流着:从洪流的古代到电气化开始的今天,从鱼类繁殖的春到岸泥冰结的严冬,从日的活跃到夜的休息,没有停滞,没有改变,因为有一个总方向。
       洪流奔流着:不管鱼、虾的意志,不管泥沙的污染,不管沉滓的浮泛,因为有一个总方向。
      洪流奔流着:在洪流的边缘,有洄流航行的老人操纵它走逆转的路,但是由于有一个总方向,这反动终于是无力的,避开在大声势的边缘,缩在一角。
       洪流奔流着:在洪流中,有漩涡,这是对于前进的彷徨,对于背后的依恋,由于有一个总方向,洪流带走了它。
       由于有一个总方向,泥沙和渣滓也成为力量,一样突破堤岸,一样冲去岩石,甚至一样带走同类的泥沙和渣
       由于有一个总方向,虽然整个洪流由泥沙变成污色,甚至海水全变黄,但是这泥沙都增大了灌溉的肥沃度,沉淀为新的岛屿和大陆。
