In many big cities there are people who cannot get work. Sometimes they do not want to work, but sometimes there isn't any work for them to do.
Some of these people beg for money. Some of them sell boxes of matches or cheap pens, and some or them sell flowers.
Andrew never gave money to beggars. "People should work for their money," he believed. He also believed there was work for everyone, which was however not true.
One day when he was waiting for a bus, he met a beggar who was an old woman wearing very old and dirty clothes. She had no shoes and she was selling some flowers.
"Give an old woman ten dollars, mister," she said to Andrew. "I haven't had a meal for three days."
"I'm not giving you ten dollars," Andrew said.
"What about five dollars, then, mister?" the poor old woman asked. "That'll buy me a couple of pieces of bread."
"No," Andrew said.
"Then what about one dollar?" the old woman asked. "I can buy an orange."
"I haven't got one dollar," Andrew said. "Now go away."
The old woman looked at him sadly, and then gave him her flowers.
"Here, mister," she said. "You have these. You need them more than I do."

up early is helpful to diligence(勤奋), and this,
just like all other good habits, is most easily formed(形成) when one is young. There is an English saying “Lost
time never returns.” This means that everybody must be diligent, and make use
of (利用）his time. One must study hard when one is
young so that one may make great progress, succeed(成功) in life and become useful to one’s country. So
we can say that diligence is the mother of success.
