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 a
blind, please help". There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins
from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some
words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the news words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. More and 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, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?" The man said, "I
only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way." The man"s words was, "Today is a
beautiful day and 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.
A. The piece of paper
B. Mr. Smith
C. The visitor
D. The boy
One day the sun and the wind had a quarrel (争吵). The sun said he was stronger than the wind. And
the wind said he was stronger than the sun. (1) 正在那时他们看到一个人在下面走着, with a hat and a
coat on. The sun said, "Let"s see who can make the man take off his hat and coat. If you can do that more
quickly than I, then you are the stronger."
"All right," said the wind, "I"ll try first." So the wind began to blow. (2) But the harder he blew, the
tighter (紧的) the man held his hat and coat. The wind could not make him take them off. Then the sun
tried. It shone quietly. Soon the man (3) ________ his hat and wiped (擦) his forehead. The sun began
to shone a little brighter, and the man took off his coat. It shone harder still, and the man began to take
off his shirt. Then the wind said to the sun, "That"s enough. You are stronger than I."
