"In my opinion," the first man said, "the Egyptian (埃及的) pyramids ( 金字塔) are the world's greatest
wonder. Although they were built thousands of years ago, they are still standing. And remember: the people
who built them had only simple tools. They did not have the kind of machinery (机械) that builders and
engineers have today.
"I agree that the pyramids in Egypt are wonderful," the second man said, "but I do not think they are the
greatest wonder. I believe computers are more wonderful than the pyramids. They have taken people to the
moon and brought them back safely. In seconds, they carry out mathematical calculations (计算) that would
take a person a hundred years to do.
Then the second man turned to the third man and asked, "What do you think is the greatest wonder in the
world?
The third man thought for a long time, and then he said. "Well, I agree that the pyramids are wonderful,
and I agree that computers are wonderful, too. However, in my opinion, the most wonderful thing in the world
is this thermos." And he took a thermos out of his bag and held it up. The other two men were very surprised.
"A thermos?" they exclaimed (惊叫). "But that's a simple thing."
"Oh, no, it's not," the third man said. "In the winter you put in a hot drink and it stays hot. In the summer
you put in a cold drink and it stays cold. How does the thermos know whether it's winter or summer?"

On my eighth birthday, Dad bought me an accordion(手风琴） and said excitedly, "Once you learn to play, it'll stay with you for life." But I didn't want to play it. I just wanted to play games, But Dad asked me to take accordion lessons.
One day, I found a box in a corner. When I opened it, I saw a beautiful violin. "It was your father's," Mum said. "His parents bought it for him. I guess he got too busy on the farm to learn to play it."
I had to practice half an hour every day, and every day I tried to get out of it. But Dad didn't allow. I asked why. He answered, "Because you can bring people joy. You can touch their hearts." He added softly, "Someday you'll have the chance I never had: you'll play beautiful music for your family. And you'll understand why you've worked so hard." I was speechless.
The lessons stopped after I finished high school. When I grew up, I got married and moved into a new house. I put the accordion in the attic（阁楼）.
One afternoon, my two children found the accordion by accident (偶然). They got very excited. "Play it. Play it," they laughed and said. I started to play some simple songs. I was surprised I could still remember them. Soon the kids were dancing. Even my wife was laughing and clapping to the beat.
At that moment, my father's words came back to me, "Someday you'll have the chance I never had. And you'll understand." I finally knew why Dad had asked me to practice hard. Dad never learnt to play his violin. But I told my family, "This is my father's music."
