Long ago, there lived in Greece a {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(learn) man. He was {#blank#}2{#/blank#}well-known for his knowledge of almosteverything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn fromhim. The great man taught his students whole-heartedly and answered theirquestions with great {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(patient).

           One day, a student asked him, “My dearteacher, didn't you say you yourself have many more questions about things thanwe do?{#blank#}4{#/blank#} I think we students have far more than you.”

           With a smile on his face, the teacher {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(draw) two circles, one as large as abig cake, the other smaller. Then he said, “Of course, I have learned muchmore. But {#blank#}6{#/blank#}is wrong to think ateacher 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 thesmaller one is{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(you). Out ofthe circles is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is larger, I have {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(use) the longer line to draw thebigger circle. That {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(mean) Ihave more opportunities to face what is still unknown. And that's why I myselfhave more questions than you do. The {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(much) you learn, the more questionsyou have. You will never learn enough, you know.”

    It is often said that eyes can speak. In a bus you may look at a stranger,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} not too long. If he notices that he is being stared at, he may feel {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (comfort). It is the same in daily life. When you are {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (look) at for several more times, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong {#blank#}4{#/blank#} you.
