A teacher taught her students to play a game. The teacher told each child to bring a 1 with a few potatoes. Each potato was given a name of a person that the child hated, so the number of potatoes that a child would put into the bag would 2 the number of people the child hated.
Some children had two potatoes. Some had three and others even had five potatoes. The teacher then told them to 3 the bag wherever they went for a week.
As the days went by, the children started to complain（抱怨）about the unpleasant 4 coming from the rotten（腐烂的）potatoes. And the students with five potatoes also had to carry 5 bags.
After a week, the teacher asked, "How did you 6 ?" The children started complaining about the 7 they had to go through. For example, when they carried the heavy and smelly potatoes everywhere they went, people always covered their noses and moved away from them 8 .
Then the teacher said. "This is the 9 situation when you carry your hate for somebody inside your heart. The smell of hate will 10 your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go."
"If you can not stand the smell of rotten potatoes for just one week, can you imagine what it is like to have the smell of hate in your heart for your lifetime?"
In the modern society(社会), it is common to see people wearing ties and hats. But at one time, wearing ties and hats was the symbol of social position(社会地位)in England. Not all people wore them.
A farmer or a common worker never wore ties or hats. Only those who used their brains(大脑)to make a living wore ties and hats. Wearing ties and hats showed you were a professional(专业人员)and full of knowledge. At the same time, it showed you had a high social position. If a man wanted to find a job, he had to wear them. It was hard for a man to find a job if he didn't wear a tie or a hat.
Until 1960s, it was common for men across the western world to wear hats and ties as part of their business uniforms. But things changed later. President Kennedy(肯尼迪总统) never wore a hat and he didn't like a tie, either. People seldom saw him wearing them. Seeing that the president didn't have them, millions of other men imitated him. They also took off ties and hats.
Nowadays, people still wear ties and hats. But they are only decorations. Anyone can wear them if he or she likes. What will they be like in the future? No one can guess.

Once, three fish lived in a pond. One evening, some fishermen passed by the pond and saw the fish. "This pond is full of fish," they told each other excitedly. "We have never fished here before. We must come back tomorrow morning with our nets and catch these fish!" So saying, the fishermen left.
When the eldest of the three fish heard this, he was afraid. He called the other fish together and said, "Did you hear what the fishermen said? We must leave this pond at once. The fishermen will return tomorrow and kill us all!"
The second of the three fish agreed. "You are right," he said. "We must leave the pond."
But the youngest of the three fish laughed. "You are worrying without reason," he said. "We have lived in this pond all our lives, and no fisherman has ever come here. Why should these men return? I'm not going anywhere—my luck will keep me safe."
The eldest of the three fish left the pond that evening with his entire family. The second fish saw the fishermen coming in the distance early next morning and left the pond at once with all his family. The third fish refused to leave even then.
The fishermen arrived and caught all the fish left in the pond, including the third fish's luck.
It is true that people with better education* are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don't. It seems that the purpose* of education is to make people get jobs. But not all the people agree with this idea.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education in order to make more money in the future. This was probably one of the earliest purposes of education. In fact, if education is just a way to make a living, people don't need to spend so much time in school. They can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. And people don't have to learn maths and languages so carefully. So it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
So what is education for? Education is well-rounded and it should improve a man in many ways. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative* thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all, take an interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the only reason.

In the 1950s, car culture was very popular across the US. This led people to create new businesses that depended on cars-gas stations, auto shops, and not least of all drive-in restaurants.
Instead, you would drive your car to an outdoor "booth"—a parking spot with a menu shown next to it. A waitress would come over (usually on roller skates) and take your order. Eating in your car is seen as something to be done only when you're in a hurry these days. But back then, it was new experience. Sitting in your brand-new vehicle, drinking delicious milkshakes and eating burgers became a trend. Like all trends, it died out eventually—most drive-ins have been replaced by drive-thrus (驾车通过的快餐厅).
They are McDonald's and KFC． They became popular as the pace of modern life in increased in the 1970s and 1980s. They are not known for the experience that drive-ins once offered. Rather, they offer up speed and convenience, especially for parents and other busy people.

What is the most stressful thing in school? It is probably exams. Exams can put us under a lot of pressure. But some students do well under pressure while others feel terrible.
It all comes down to dopamine (多巴胺). It has many important roles: influencing memory, attention. and how we learn. Our brains work best when there is an even balance of dopamine—not too much or too little. The brain controls dopamine in two ways. It either takes out dopamine quickly, or gradually. Exam success can be related to how fast dopamine goes back to an even balance.
if you become stressed, your brain will start to have too much dopamine. The quicker you are able to go back to an even balance of dopamine, the quicker you can fix yourself perform better on a test.
Scientists found that, during a test, people who slowly got back to an even balance of dopamine scored 8 percent lower. The answer is yes. So don't fear, there is some good news. The study also found that the more practice you get, the less stressed you'll be. So, it turns out that practice really does make perfect.
A．What happens when we sit for an exam?
B．It is like a cup flowing over with water.
C．So, why do some students perform better under stress?
D．That's the difference between a good mark and a bad mark.
E．Dopamine is a chemical in our brain that sends information to our body.
F．Is there anything that can help change the speed of dopamine getting into our body?
