Andrew Engel was puzzled. He was sitting in class, but had no idea what the other students were talking about. He had done his homework, paid attention to lectures, and taken notes, but nothing was familiar. “Everyone is so much cleverer than I am,” he thought. It was a strange feeling, as he was always a good student in high school.
He felt even more puzzled a few days later. He got lost on his way to his favorite cinema. What’s worse, he began having trouble finding the right words when speaking. He asked, “What’s for dinner, Mom?” after he had just eaten. Poor Andrew, he was only 15!
His parents were worried and took Andrew to see a doctor. A brain scan（扫描） made it clear: Andrew had a malignant brain tumor(恶性脑肿瘤) . It was pressing on the part of the brain that makes new memory. He should be operated on as soon as possible. Andrew was scared!
Doctors removed the tumor, but Andrew’s memory was still poor. He was told he would probably never go back to school. Andrew was eager to enter a university, but it seemed that his dream wouldn’t come true.
“Even though they told me this, I knew I wanted to go back to school,” Andrew said. “I wanted to get my memory back.”
Andrew began by auditing(旁听) an English class at a nearby school. In class, he took notes carefully and read his notes several times a day, then typed them again and again. He studied twelve hours a day, seven days a week. He worked ten times harder than other students. In 2007, at age 29, he graduated from a local university. Six months later, Andrew found a job.

My father had returned from his business visit to London when I came in, rather late, to supper. I could tell at once that he and my mother had been discussing something. In that half-playful, half-serious way I knew so well, he said, “How would you like to go to Eton?”
“You bet,” I cried quickly catching the joke. Everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most famous school. You had to be entered at birth, if not before. Besides, even at 12 or 13, I understood my father. He disliked any form of showing off. He always knew his proper position(位置)in life, which was in the middle of the middle class, our house was medium-sized; he avoided joining Royal Liverpool Golf Club and went to a smaller one instead; though once he had got a second-hand Rolls-Royce(劳斯莱斯) at a very low price, he felt embarrassed driving it, and quickly changed it for an Austin 1100.
This could only be his nice way of telling me that the whole boarding school idea was to the dropped. I should also have remembered that he had a liking for being different from everyone else, if it did not conflict(冲突) with his fear of drawing attention to himself.
It seemed that he happened to be talking to Graham Brown of the London office, a very nice man, and Graham had a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, he thought he might just as well phone them. I remember my hands shaking with the puzzlement of my feelings. There was excitement, at the heart of great sadness.
“Oh, he doesn’t want to go away,” said my mother. “You shouldn’t go on like this.” “It’s up to him,” said my father. “He can make up his own mind.”

Once a man came to a smart man’s house and said, “I have many bad habits. Which one of them should I give up ?” The wise man said, “Never tell lies (谎言) and always speak the truth.” The man promised (承诺) to do and went home.
At night the man was about to go out to steal (偷). Before leaving, he for a moment about the promise he made to the wise man. “If he asks me where I have been, what shall I say? Shall I say I stealing? No, I cannot say that. But nor can I lie. If I tell the truth, everyone will start me and call me a thief. I would be punished for stealing.” So the man made a decision not to steal that night, and gave up this bad habit.
Next day, he wanted to drink wine. When he was about to do so, he said to himself, “What shall I say to the wise man if he asks me I did during the day? I cannot tell a lie.” And so he gave up the of drinking wine.
