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 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 put 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 would see the new words.
Soon the hat began to be full of coins. A lot 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(辨认出) 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.”
What he had written was: “Today is a beautiful day but 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 one simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. However, the second one told people that they were able to enjoy the day. It told them they were lucky and they were not blind.
There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.
The first is: Be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help whenever you can.
The second is: Think differently. There is always a better way!

To help students tell the difference between fact and fiction, a course titled w 1. a Chinese phrase(短语) meaning “obviously right, but actually wrong” has launched in Fudan University in Shanghai this school year.
The course brings disciplines(训练) together, and has a t2.of 17 subjects to be discussed. These topics are centered on m3. of differentiating(区分) science from pseudoscientific(伪科学) beliefs, such as how strong the risk of vaccination(接种疫苗) is and how genes define(定义，影响) destiny.
It has attracted much attention, and been welcomed by students there and across China. Over 1,000 students have c4.the course, and the topic on Weibo has won tens of thousands of thumbs-up among users in a gesture(手势) of s5..
For instance, it’s said that the death toll in famous hospitals is larger than that in a community hospital. Does it necessarily mean we o6. to see a doctor in a community hospital?
Lou Hongwei, the professor of the course, said the data(数据) people collected was just partial(部分的), and doesn’t show the w7. picture----famous hospitals deal with more fatal(致命的) conditions, so more deaths can be expected there. Such fallacies(谬误) in logic s8.widely among people, which are untenable(站不住脚的) but hard to resist.
Last July, the University of Washington debuted a similar course to help its students draw the line between science and pseudoscience via big data.
Lou believes it is necessary to teach such courses, a9.there are many highly-educated people, including experts and scholars, who harbor(为提供庇护) misconceptions(错误想法) and lack necessary judgment. This, he said, will have a negative(消极的) i10.on the next generation.
I became a magician by accident. When I was nine years old, I learned __________ to make a coin disappear. I’d read The Lord of the Rings and went into the________ to look for a book about spells(符咒). Nine was a strange age when you were ___________enough to think that you might find a book of real, actual magic in the library. But in fact, the book I _________ taught me something about magic, and I spent the next months practicing.
At first the magic wasn't any _________ . It wasn't even magic; it was only a trick-- a bad trick. I __________hours each day in the bathroom running through the secret moves in front of the mirror. I dropped the coin thousands of __________in a day, and after two weeks of this, my mom got a carpet and placed it under the mirror to lower the sound of the coin __________again and again.
I heard my dad play pieces of new music on the piano, __________ I knew how to practice -- slowly, going for precision(精确) rather than speed. One day I tried the magic in the mirror and the __________disappeared. It did not look like a magic trick. It __________like a miracle.
One of the lessons I learn very early as a magician is that the most __________ part of a trick has nothing to do with the secret. The secret is simple: a hidden piece of tape, a small mirror, a special playing card. In this case, the _____________was a series of tricks to hide the coin behind my hand in the act of opening it, a dance of the fingers that I learned so __________ that I didn't even have to think. I would close my hand, then __________it, and the coin would disappear not by skill but by real magic.
