Long ago ,there lived in Greece a learned man. 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 whole-heartedly and answered their questions with great patience.
One day a student asked him, “ My dear teacher, didn't you say you yourself have many ,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 as large as a big cake, the other smaller. Then he said , “Of course, I have learned much more. But it's 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 to use the longer line to draw the bigger circle. That means I have more opportunities to face what is still unknown. And that's 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.”

     An old farmer lived with his little grandson. Every day the farmer got up early to read books.
    One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa! I want to read books just like you, but I don't understand them. What are the advantages of reading?” The grandfather said, “Take this litter basket to the river and bring me back a basket of water.” the boy did, but all the water leaked out（漏出）before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, “ You'll have to walk faster next time.”
    This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home. The boy said, “ See, Grandpa, it's useless（无用的）!”
“You think it is useless?” the old man said. “ Look at the basket.”
    The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he found that the basket was different. It was cleaner, inside and out.
   “That's what happens when you read books. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read them, you will be changed, inside and out.”

      Four girls were at the same school. They were good friends, so they often studied and played together. They went to school every day by taxi. One day one of the girls said, “There is a test this morning. Let's go to school late. Then we won't have to take the test.” “What can we tell the teacher?” One of the girls said. “He'll be angry. We'll need a good excuse.”
The girls thought for several moments, then one of them said, “Let's tell him that our taxi had a flat tire(爆胎).” “That's a good idea,” the other girls said. “We'll tell him that.”
     They arrived at school an hour later. The test was finished.
   “Why are you late?” the teacher asked. “You miss the test.” “Our taxi had a flat tire,” one of the girls said.
      The teacher thought for a moment, then he said, “Sit down, one of you in each corner of the room.” The four girls did this. Then the teacher said, “Write the answer to this question on a piece of paper: Which tire was flat?”
