He was so well-known for his good knowledge of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn from him. The great man taught his students heart and soul and answered their questions with great patience.One day a student asked him, My dear teacher, didnt you say you have many more questions about things than we do? But I think we students have far more than you.With a smile on his face, the teacher drew two circles, one was as large as a big cake, the other was small. Then he said, Of course, Ive learned much more. But its wrong to think that a teacher has fewer questions than his students. Now, look at these two circles. The inside of the bigger one is my knowledge of things, and the inside of the smaller one is yours. Out of the circles is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is larger, I have the larger line to draw the bigger circle. That means I have more opportunities to face what is still unknown. And thats why I myself have more questions than you do. The more you learn, the more questions you have. You will never learn enough, you know.31 . Why did many people learn from the learned man?ABecause he was well-known.BBecause he had good knowledge of almost everything.CBecause he lived in Greece.DBecause he was patient to his students.32 .

The learned man drew two circles to showAhe was good at drawingBhis knowledge had nothing to do with the circle.Cwhy he had more questions than the studentsDhow he could get more knowledge34 .

Right. A pen.Though it is small, the pen has changed the history, improved the trade of countries, recorded events, carried news, and done far more work for human beings than all other tools.Progress without it would have been almost impossible. The invention of the wheels, the introduction of steam engine(蒸汽机), the use of electricity, all these have changed the lives of millions of people, but the pen has done more. It has taken away mountains, and it has prepared the way for all progress and development of the society.In the past the pen did all the work if you wanted to keep any writing for some time. The lawyers took up their pens and wrote the law of the country from the days when papyrus(纸莎草纸) was first used. The most famous letters in the world were written with a pen. It was with a pen that the greatest thinkers of all time wrote down their thoughts.The pen is very utilitarian. We cannot sign a bill or write a letter or buy a house without our pen. An agreement is worthless till our name is written with a pen. The writers encourage the world with it. The students take their examinations with it as well.Our coming into the world is recorded with a pen. Before we have been at school, our name is written on the name list with a pen. We cannot be married till we have signed. A pen records the important events in our life.Let us remember that we hold in our hand the most powerful instrument which man owns. The pen is a magic tool.
