About this question a great learned man told his student that nobody does but a teacher. The student got puzzled. With a smile, the teacher drew two circles（圆）. Within（在里面）the larger one is my knowledge of things, and within the smaller one is yours. Out of the circles is still unknown to both of us. Since mine is larger, as you can see, the line that marks out the circle is longer. That makes it clear that who has more chances（机会）to face something still unknown. 谁有更多的问题，是老师还是学生？关于这个问题，一个非常有知识的人告诉他的学生，除了老师没有其他的人。学生感到很疑惑,他笑了笑，老师画了两个圆：“在大一些的圆里相当于是我的知识面范围，而在较小的圆里装着的是相当于你的知识面。在圆外更大的区域对我们来说都是未知的。一旦我的知识面变得更广，你是可以看见，标识圆的线就会变得更长.也就是说谁更有机会去面对仍是未知的事物。 15Twofarmerswereontheirwayhomeoneeveningafteraharddayswork.Bothweretired.Theyhappenedtolookupattheskyandsawablackcloudoverhead（在天空中，在头顶上）.Ah!saidonefarmer,tomorrowweshallhaverainandthericewillgrowwell.Thesecondanswered,Nonsense(胡说),therainwillonlykillthecrops(庄稼).Sotheybegantoquarrel(争吵).Justthenathirdfarmercamealongandaskedthemwhytheywerequarreling.Bothfarmersexplainedabouttheblackcloud.Whatcloud?askedthethirdfarmer.Theyalllookedatthesky.Thecloudwasnolongerthere.一个晚上，在经过一天的辛苦工作之后，两个农民在他们回家的路上。他们两人都累了。他们仰望天空，在天空中看见一朵乌云。“啊!”一个农民说，“明天我们将会下雨，同时大米将会长的很好。”第二个说，“胡说，雨只会让庄稼死亡。”因此他们开始争吵。就在这时第三个农民走过来，问他们为什么他们吵架。两个农民解释说是因为乌云。第三个农民问道“什么云?”。他们都抬头看了看天空，那朵乌云已不再存在。16Long, long ago there was no zero. To write the number sixty-three people wrote 63.To write six hundred and three, people wrote 63.The space between six and three was there to mean. not any tens. Sometimes people did not remember the space. It was hard to see and read.Later people used a dot to hold the space. Six hundred and three looked like this 6.3.But the dot was hard to see. So people put a circle around it like this 63.Then people could see the dot. They remembered the space. at last ,only the circle around the dot was used. It was like a zero. This is one story of how the zero came to be used.很久很久以前是没有零的。六十三就写作63，六百零三人们写作6 3.空在6和3之间的空白意味着没有十位数。有时人们会不记得这个空白。看起来和阅读起来都很难。后来人们用一个点来表示这个空白。六百零叁就看起来像6 3。但是这样也不容易看见。所以人们就围绕点画了一个圈就像63。后来人们就能看到点了。他们记住了空白。最后，只有围绕点的圆被使用，就如同零一样。这就是关于零开始使用的一个故事。17As is well known, books teach us to learn life, truth, science and many other useful things. They increase our knowledge（知识）, broaden our minds and strengthen our character（个性）. In other words, they are our good teachers and wise friends. This is the reason why our parents always encourage（鼓励）us to read more books. Reading is a good thing, but we must pay at attention to the choice of books. It is true that we can derive benefits from good books. However, bad books will do us more harm than good. 总所周知，书籍能教会我们如何生活，真理，科学以及许多其他有用的事情。它们能增加我们的知识，拓宽我们的思想，强化我们的个性。换句话说。书是我们的良师益友。 这就是为什么我们的父母总是鼓励我们读更多书的原因了。阅读是好事情，但是我们更应该注意我们读什么书。当然，我们能从好书中学到东西。然而，不好的书籍却弊大于益。18It is the duty of every citizen to make the country rich and powerful . In order to accomplish this object one must be patriotic（爱国）. I consider this an unchangeable truth. How can a student love his country? I find my answer very simple and clear. He must study hard and store up knowledge so as to serve his country in the future. If every student can do according to what I said, the country will certainly be rich and powerful. 要使国家富强是每个公民的责任。为了完成这个目标，你必须爱国。我认为这是一个不可改变的事实。一个学生怎么能爱他的国家呢?我发现我的答案非常简单明了。他必须努力学习，积累知识，以便将来为祖国服务。如果每个学生都能按照我说的去做，那么这个国家肯定会变得富有和强大。19In the traffic court of a large mid-western city, a young lady was brought before the judge to answer a ticket given her for driving through a red light. She explained to his honor that she was a school teacher and requested an immediate disposal of her case in order that she might hasten on to her classes. A wild gleam came into the judges eye. You are a school teacher, eh? said he. Madam, I shall realize my lifelong ambition. Sit down at that table and write I went through a red light five hundred times. 在一个中西部城市的交通法庭上，一位年轻女士被带到法官面前，告知她由于开车闯红灯将会被开罚单。她向法官表示，她是一名学校教师，被要求立即处理她的一些事宜，以便她能尽快上课。法官的眼中闪烁着一种狂野的光芒，并说道“你是学校的老师?”。“女士，我为了实现我毕生的抱负。坐在那张桌子上，并写 我闯红灯了500次”。20Myfirstjobwasatacrammingschool.ItwasthreeyearsagowhenIjustgraduatedfromjuniorhighschoolandfinishedtheentranceexamination.sinceIhadnothingtodothatsummer,Idecidedtofindajob,tastingthejoyofindependence.Iwasresponsibleforansweringthetelephoneandtakingthemessage.Iworkedeighthoursaday,sixdaysaweek.TheworkwasnotdifficultnorheavytomeandIguessIdidwell.ThemostdelightedthingwasperhapsthatIcouldspendthemoneyIearnedallbymyself.我的第一份工作是在一家补习班做事。那是三年前我刚高中毕业，结束入学考试的事了。既然我那整个夏天都闲着没事,倒不如找份工作，感受一下独立赚钱的快乐。我负责接听电话且纪录留言的工作。每天工作八小时，一星期工作六天。那份工作对我而言既不困难亦不沉重，所以我感觉自己还是做的挺好的。而最令人快乐的事大概莫过于花由自己赚来的钱了! 21 Everybody wants to be healthy. You know food is very important (重要的). There are many healthy foods. You can have more bananas, apples, oranges, tomatoes and lettuce (生菜) because fruits and vegetables are good for you. But dont eat too much chocolate. Its not good healthy food. Healthy food can make you grow and make you strong and happy. Remember there is a saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Sports can also keep you healthy. Get up early and do some sports every day. Dont be lazy! You will be healthy and happy.每个人都想要健康。你知道食物对健康来讲是非常重要的。有许多食物都是很健康的，你可以吃更多的香蕉，苹果，桔子，西红柿和生菜，因为水果和蔬菜对你有好处。但是，不要吃太多的巧克力。巧克力不是一种好的健康食品。健康的食物能让你更快地成长，让你变得强壮和快乐。记住有一句谚语:“一日一苹果，医生远离我。”同时，运动也能让你保持健康。每天早起，做一些运动。别偷懒!你将会健康快乐。22It is eight oclock.
