When I was at university, I studied very hard. But a lot of my friends did very l    work. Some just did enough to pass the exams. Others didn’t do quite enough. Fred Braines was such a student. He spent more time drinking in the T   House than working in the library.
Once at the end of the term, we had to take an important test in Chinese. The test had 100 questions. Beside each question we had to write “True” or “False”. While I was studying in my room, Fred was watching TV. Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test. But on that night he looked very e   . Then he told me of his idea.
“It’s very simple. There are 100 questions and I have to get 50 right to pass the test. I will take a coin into the examination room. I haven’t studied a Chinese book for months, so I will toss (抛) the coin. In this way, I’m sure I’ll get h    of the questions right.”
The next day, Fred came happily into the examination room. As he sat tossing a coin for half an hour, he wrote down his answers. Then he left, half an hour b    the rest of us.
The next day, Fred met his Chinese teacher at the school gate. “Oh, good,” he said. “I am sure you have got the r    of the test. Did I pass the test? ”
The teacher looked at him and smiled, “Ah, it’s you, Braines. Just a minute. ” Then the teacher reached his pocket and took out a coin. He threw it into the air, caught in his hand and looked at it. “I am sorry, Braines, you f   ! ”

举一反三

One morning, a blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said, “I am blind, please help me.”
There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write? ”
The man said, “I only wrote the truth, I said what you said, but in a different way. ”
What he had written was, “ Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it.”
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?
Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.
The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.
There are at least two lessons we can learn from this story.
The first is: Treasure（珍惜）what you have. Someone else has less. Try your best to help those who need your help.
The second is: Be creative(有创造力的). Think differently. There is always a better way!
小题1:Who sat on the steps of a building asking for help?
小题2:A man walked by and gave the boy a few coins, didn’t he?
小题3:What did the man do to the boy’s sign?
小题4:What happened to the boy’s hat soon?
小题5:How did the man write the sign?
小题6:Which sign do you prefer, the first one or the second one ? Why ?（answer the question in no more than 20 words）

It seems to be strange to you there is a blind spot (盲点)on the eyes. Here is an interesting experiment (实验) that can make something disappear(消失) when one eye is open.
Make a card which is as big as a postcard, and write two English letters L and R on it. Write L on the left and R on the right. First, hold the card about 80 cm(厘米) away and you see both the letters. Then close your right eye and look at the letter R only with your left eye. And now, as you move the card slowly towards you, you’ll find the letter L disappearing. But if you move the card nearer to your face, the letter will be seen again. Now do the same experiment with your left eye closed, you’ll find the letter R disappearing.
Why does the letter disappear? It is because there is a blind spot on the eye. When the image (影像) of the letter falls on the blind spot, it won’t be seen. That is why either of the letters disappears.
小题1: Where should we write the two letters?
小题2:Which letter should be written on the left?
小题3:Which eye do you close when R disappear?
小题4:What will happen if the image (影像) of the letter falls on the blind spot?
小题5:.Do all people know that there is a blind spot (盲点)on their eyes?
