Once there lived a very clever man whose name was Aesop (伊索). One day as he was taking a walk, he came across a traveler. The traveler stopped him and asked, “Excuse me,, can you tell me how
soon I’ll get to town?”
“Go.” Aesop answered.
“I know I must go.” said the traveler, “but I want to know how soon I’ll get to town.”
“Go!~ ”Aesop said again angrily.
“This man must be mad(疯的),” the traveler thought and went on.
After the traveler had gone some distance(一段距离), Aesop shouted after him, “You’ll get to town in two hours.”
The traveler was greatly surprised. He turned back and asked, “Why didn’t you tell me that before?”
“How could I tell you that before?” Aesop answered, “I didn’t know how fast you could walk.”

Li Jie was one of my classmates. He and I were also neighbours. He always listened to his mother   37  I didn’t like listening to my mother. I didn’t think it was necessary for  38  to teach me anything. Li Jie knew all about that but he said   39  to me.
One weekend, Li Jie invited me to watch a film. I liked films very much so I went to the   40  with him happily. The film was about the love between a   41  and her son. After watching it, I began to know how great the love of the mother was. I felt   42  that I didn’t listen to my mother before. I decided to think more about my mother than about   43 . After I told that to him, Li Jie smiled and said, “It’s really necessary for you to watch such a film. That was a good choice (选择) for both you and me.”
Suddenly, I knew   44  he invited me to watch the film. Just at that time, I knew a true friend is always   45 .

"Oh,"the little boy answered, with his head down. He thought for a moment, looked up and said, “Daddy, could you lend me $10?"

The father was furious, "If you asked for money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, then go straight to your room and think why you are being so selfish !"

The little boy quietly went to his room and closed the door. After about an hour, the father calmed down, and started to think, "Maybe he really needs to buy something and he didn’t ask for money very often."So he went to the little boy’s room.

"Sorry! Maybe I was too hard on you just now," said the man. "Here’s $10."

"Oh, thank you, Daddy!"the boy said happily. Then, the boy took out some coins. When the father found that the boy already had some money, he got angry again.

"Why do you want more money after you already have some?" the father shouted angrily.
