| One evening a police officer was driving slowly along a road. He was off duty and was wearing plain clothes. Suddenly he saw two men running out of a building. He heard someone shouting, "Help! Help! Stop thief!" The police officer was sure that the two men were thieves. He knew he must arrest them. However, he was not only out of uniform (制服) but also unarmed (没有带枪). He knew if he got out of his car and tried to arrest them, at least one of the men would easily escape. The police officer was facing a difficult problem. He knew that he mustn"t let the men escape, but how could he arrest them? He thought quickly and had an idea. It involved danger and it might not work, but he decided to try. He drove his car up to the men and stopped beside them. Then he put his head out of the window and asked, "Do you want a lift?" "Yes, yes," the men answered, and quickly got into his car. "Please take us to the railway station," they told him. "Very good," the police officer said and drove off. After a few minutes, one of the men cried out, "But this isn"t the way to the railway station. Where are you going?" "I must go this way," the police officer explained. "There"s a big fire and the traffic is held up. You don"t want to sit in a traffic jam, do you?" "No, no," the men agreed. "Please take us the quickest way." The next moment, the police officer had pulled up at the police station. He jumped out, shouted for help, and seconds later the two thieves were arrested. | ||||||||||||||||||

| Having an interview (面试) doesn"t sound like a big deal, just like getting good marks in college. You simply go in and meet someone, talk for a while, and then leave. Nothing to stress over, not the end of the world, but I"ve never been interviewed and I have my first one tomorrow for my job in Columbia. I"ve spent a lot of time thinking about it and have decided that it shouldn"t matter all that much. It seems that the interview would only make a difference if the company is on the fence about you, or if the interview was unpleasant and they walk away thinking that you are too, then the officers might be encouraged to think about your request again. On the other hand, if you were in the "maybe" pile, a good interview could push you onto the list of accepted candidates (候选人). I know I shouldn"t worry. After all, they probably have already made up their minds about me. My essay was, to say the least, unique. The interview is at Starbucks. What does that mean? My friend, who did a lot of these interviews last year (and who was accepted to the company there), told me to wear jeans and a nice sweater. I was going to go with a skirt. The fact that it"s at Starbucks, however, is making me think that jeans might be more proper. And then there"s the other problem of knowing who my interviewer is. I discussed this with my music teacher, who suggested, "They"ll probably be wearing something." That good idea hadn"t crossed my mind, which just goes to show that my brain has stopped to function. Stress is taking over my life. Tonight I will prepare. I will choose what to wear and what, if anything, to bring. I like to talk, so this should not be a problem. Hopefully when I get there I"ll find that this is actually the part of the process I"m most comfortable with. Until then I"ll spend my time preparing and hoping. | ||||||||||||||||||

| There was a blacksmith (铁匠) who wasn"t satisfied with his work. Once he complained, "I am not well and my work is too warm. I want to be a 1 on the mountain. There it must be 2 , for the wind blows and the trees give a shade.." A wise man who had 3 over all things replied, "Go you, be a stone." And he was a stone, high up on the 4 side. It happened that a stone-cutter 5 that way for a stone and when he saw the one that had been the 6 , he knew that it was what he 7 and he began to cut it. The stone 8 out, "This hurts! I no longer want to be a stone. A stone-cutter I want to be. That 9 be pleasant." The wise man, humoring him, said, "Be a cutter." 10 he became a stone-cutter and as he went seeking a suitable stone, he 11 tired and his feet were sore (酸痛). He 12 , "I no longer want to cut stone. I would be the sun; that would be pleasant." The wise man 13 , "Be the sun." And he was the sun. But the sun was warmer than the blacksmith, than a stone, than a stone-cutter, and he complained, "I do not 14 this. I would be the moon. It 15 cool." The wise man spoke yet again, "Be the moon." And he was the moon. This is warmer than being the sun, 16 he, "for the light from the sun 17 on me ever. I do not want to be the moon. I would be a 18 again. That, indeed, is the 19 life." But the wise man replied, "I am 20 of your changing. You wanted to be the moon; the moon you are and you will remain." | ||||||||||||||||||
