A young man worked very hard at his lessons. He was too busy to have a rest. At last, he became ill, so he couldn't go to sleep. Every night, when he went to bed, he closed his eyes and tried to sleep. But he always stayed awake and couldn't fall asleep.

    After some days, he decided to see a doctor.” I just can't go to sleep at night. What should I do? Could you please help me?”

    “I have a suggestion(建议)，”said the doctor. “Try counting numbers. By the time you reach one thousand, you'll be asleep. I'm sure of it.”

    The next day the man returned to the doctor's office. “Well,” said the doctor, how are you today? Did you try my suggestion?”

    The man still looked tired. “Yes,” he said, “I tried counting one, two, three-up to one thousand. But when I reached five hundred and sixty-nine, I began to feel sleepy. I had to get up and drink some tea so that I could go on counting up to one thousand. But then I still couldn't fall asleep.”

    For a baby, to be born on a plane might be a lucky thing. Just a few days ago, a mother gave birth to a baby boy on a plane of Buraq Air and the new baby didn't need to pay for the air tickets for a lifetime from the air company.

    The new mother was on a flight (航班）from Libya to Niger. For some people, being born on a plane sounds a bit strange and even a bit dangerous. But luckily the child was healthily born with the help of the flight's workers. To thank the workers on the plane, the excited mother decided to give her baby the same name as the captain (机长). Burap Air is in Libya and the air company offers flights to Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.

    This isn't the first time a baby was born on a plane and got such a lucky prize. Last month, a baby was born on a flight from Dubai to Manila. The air company celebrated the birth of the baby and gave her a present of one million miles free flight.

    So sometimes where a new baby is born seems to be really important.

In 223 BC Meng Tian (蒙恬) led the army in a war against the Chu Kingdom. In those days, people wrote on silk with a kind of stick pen. The stick pen was very hard and made writing very slow. Meng Tian had to often write a great number of reports about battlefield situation to the Qin ruler. He was frustrated (沮丧的) with the difficulty of writing, so he decided to make improvements.

Between battles, Meng enjoyed hunting. One day, Meng hunted a wild rabbit. It was fat and heavy and its tail left a trail (痕迹) on the ground. Meng suddenly had an idea. He immediately tied the rabbit's tail to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit's hair was too oily (多油的) to hold the ink. Meng felt very sad and threw his "rabbit hair brush pen" away into a hole in the rocks.

However, Meng Tian couldn't accept the failure and continued to spend time wondering how to improve the brush pen. A few days later, he was having a walk outside for some fresh air. By chance, he found again the rabbit hair brush pen that he had thrown away. He picked it up and found that it had changed and was now soft and wet—holding water. Meng Tian got inspiration at once. He put the rabbit hair brush pen back in the ink and found it worked beautifully on silk.
