Long ago there lived in Greece a learned man. He was so well-known for his good knowledge that lots of people from all over the country came to learn from him. The great man taught his students with great patience （耐心）

　　One day a student asked him, “My dear teacher, didn't you say you yourself have much more questions about things than we do? But I think we students have far more than you “

　　With a smile on his face, the teacher drew two circles, one as large as a big cake, the other smaller. Then he said, “of course, I've learned much more．But it's wrong to think that a teacher has fewer questions than his students. now look at these two circles. The inside of the bigger one is my knowledge of things, and inside of the smaller one is yours. out of the circles is what is still unknown to us all. Since mine is larger, I have to use the longer line to draw the bigger circle． That means I have more opportunities（机会）to face what is unknown. And that's why l myself have more questions than you do. The more you learn, the more questions you have. You'll never learn enough, you know “

　　In England, afternoon tea, taken between four and five, is the most informal (非正式的) meal of the day. If you are a friend of the family, you may drop in for tea without an invitation or telling that you are coming. Very often it is not served at a table. The members of the family and visitors take tea in the sitting-room. Each person has a cup and saucer (托盘), spoon (匙) and a small plate for bread-and-butter (黄油) and cake. By the way, do not help yourself to cake first; bread-and-butter first, then cake, if there is any. Another piece of advice: do not put more than one piece of bread or cake on your plate at the same time.
