A student asked his teacher,“What is Greed(贪婪)?” The teacher said,“To find the answer to your question,go to the chocolate factory next to our school and pick the one chocolate you like best.But there is a rule.As you pass through the factory,you cannot turn back.You must pick the chocolate as you go forward only.”

The student went to the chocolate factory.As he walked through,he saw one chocolate wrapped(包装) nicely.He really liked it but he thought that he might find a much bigger one later.So,he walked further and saw another chocolate.But again,he thought the same and took nothing.When he reached near the end of the factory,he couldn't see any chocolates as big as the one he didn't pick earlier and started to regret his decision of letting it go.

Finally,he gave up.He went back to the teacher with empty hands and explained what he had done.

The teacher told him,“You liked one chocolate very much but you still kept looking for a bigger one.And later you realized what you missed was the best chocolate you could find there.That is called Greed.”

In our life we let go of many good things because of our greed of having even better ones.This is human nature:we always want something better and better.But we let go of many good things which can give us similar satisfaction and make us happy.Learn to make your choice wisely.

An English traveler found himself in Norway with only enough money to buy the ticket for him to go back home. As he knew that it would take him only two days to get to England, he decided that he could easily spend the time without food. So he bought a ticket and got on the ship. The man closed his ears to the sound of the lunch bell. When dinnertime came, he didn’t go to dinning room, saying that he was not feeling very well.

The next morning he still didn’t have breakfast and at lunchtime he again stayed in his room. But at dinnertime he was so hungry that he went to the dinning room and ate everything the waiter put in front of him. He got ready for the quarrel(争执).

“Bring me the bill,” he said. “The bill, sir?” said the waiter in surprise. “There isn’t any bill. On our ship meals are included (包括) in the money for the ticket,” said the waiter.

It was already 8: 30 in the morning. Lin Tao, a 14-year-old schoolboy still didn't show up at school. He was often late for school! The teacher called his father and got to know he played computer games online late the night before and couldn't get up that morning. In fact, he had played online games since the age of 11. He almost dropped out of school last year.

Lin Tao is not alone. Information from China Internet Center shows that the number of teenage Internet users in China had been about 170 million by the end of December, 2016. Many of them like Lin Tao, spend too much time playing computer games online.

To deal with this problem,the Chinese government worked out regulation(法规草案) in January this year. According to the regulation, players need to use their own ID cards to play online games. Game companies will control(管控) teenagers' online game time. They will not be able to play online games between12: 00 at night and 8: 00 in the morning. If they are still playing during that time the game companies will lock them out.

Many people think that the regulation can surely better protect Chinese young game players online, while others doubt whether it can successfully stop them from playing games too much. “More and more people come to know that playing online games too much not only brings teenagers health and study problems, but also makes them depressed (沮丧的) and lonely,” Tong Xiaojun, a director from a university, told CCTV. “We need support from the whole society to solve the problems.”
