| One day a few years ago, a very funny thing happened to a neighbor of mine. He is a teacher at one of London"s big medical schools. He had finished his teaching for the summer term and was at the airport on his way to Russia to give a lecture. He had put a few clothes and his lecture notes in his shoulder bag, and he had put Rupert, the skeleton (人体骨架) to be used in his lecture, in a large brown suitcase. At the airport desk, he suddenly thought that he had forgotten to buy a newspaper. He left his suitcase near the desk and went over to the shop.

| Some time ago, I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn"t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception (接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldn"t even look at my chair. The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth-so I decided that my approach must be wrong. I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?" He looked it over carefully and said, "Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, Sir?" "20 pounds," I said, "OK," he said, "I will give you 20 pounds." "It"s got a slightly broken leg," I said. "Yes, I saw that, it"s nothing." Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. "What will you do with it?" I asked. "Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done." "I will buy it," I said. "What do you mean? You have just sold it to me," he said. "Yes, I know. But I have changed my mind. I am sorry; I will give you 27 pounds for it." "You must be crazy," he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. "I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair." "You are right," I said. "And what would you have done if I had walked in and said "would you mend this chair for me?"" "I wouldn"t have agreed to do it," he said. "We don"t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I will mend this for you, shall we say for a five?" He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing. | ||||||||||||||||||

| Adults usually do not remember most of the things that are taught by their teachers at school. But this story is one such lesson that I will never 1 . Every time I drift off course, I think of this story. It was a normal Monday morning, and my teacher was teaching us on 2 things in life and about devoting ourselves to 3 is important to us. This is how the story went: An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would 4 every morning and go to the sub-way. He would get onto the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and 5 . He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at 6 street corner and begged for almost 20 years. His 7 was dirty, and a stench (恶臭) came out and it smelled terrible. The neighbors could not stand the smell any more, 8 they called for the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of 9 all over the house that he had collected over the years. The police counted the money, and they soon 10 that the old man was a millionaire (百万富翁). They waited outside his house expecting to 11 the good news with him. When the old man arrived home that evening, one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a 12 man now, a millionaire. But the old man said 13 ; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up 14 , went to the subway, sat at the street corner and continued to beg. Clearly, this old man had no great plans, 15 or anything significant (有意义的) for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing. | ||||||||||||||||||
