An American housewife was pushing her shopping basket through a supermarket with one hand.
With the other hand she was holding on to her small child.She arrived at the checkout counter, saying
to herself, "Now another 20 minutes." But her bill was ready in 20 seconds.
Twenty seconds? Yes,a new machine is doing the job.It reads a stamp of black and white lines on
each can, box or bottle. These little lines give the computer all the information it needs: the kind of
products,the price and the tax. The girl at the counter simply moves the goods along the front of the "eye"
of the machine. And the bill is ready In no time.
The machines now used in 20 supermarkets in the United States save a lot of time and money, And
they don't make as many mistakes as people do. Some shoppers,however,are complaining that they
cannot read the prices of the goods. All they can see are little black and white lines. The prices are on
theshelves but they want them on the goods.Many people are not sure whether the expensive new
machines are honest shopkcepers!

| An old farmer lived with his grandson. Each morning, the 1 got up early and read his Bhagavad Gita (薄迦梵歌). One day the grandson asked, "Grandpa! I try to read the book like you 2 I can't understand it, and I forget it easily. What's the 3 of reading it?" The grandfather said, "Take this coal (煤炭) basket down to the 4 and bring me back a basket of water." The boy did as his grandfather 5 , but all the water ran 6 he got home. The grandfather laughed, "You'll have to move faster next time." This time the boy 7 faster, but again the basket was empty. He told his grandfather that is was 8 to carry water in a basket. He wanted to use a bottle instead, but the old man said, "I just want a basket of water. You're not 9 hard enough." The boy wanted to show his grandfather that the water would surely run. He again put the 10 into the river and ran hard. But there wasn't anything in it again. He said 11 ,"Look, grandpa, it's useless!" "Watch the basket." said the grandfather. For the first time the boy 12 the basket was different. It had changed from a dirty old coal basket into a 13 one, inside and out. "Boy, you might not understand or remember 14 when you read the book, but when you read it, you will be 15 , inside and out. That's what you got from it." | ||||
