Ben

When I left school five years ago, I said to myself, “That’s that! No more learning for me.Now I can enjoy myself in the evening.” But about a year ago the boss said, “We’re going to get a computer in the near future.” What does he mean? I simply don’t know.Anyway, I decided to go to evening classes.I’m quite an expert(专家) on computers now and you know, I actually(事实上) enjoy studying.

Eve

I haven’t much interest in studying.To be honest, I don’t like reading very much, except for magazines and that sort of thing.Just reading, that is, to kill the time.But I do enjoy watching TV.Not that I watch everything.In fact, I choose my programmes very carefully.I’m particularly interested in current affairs(时事).In some ways I think I learn more in this way than I did at school.

Ted

I’m a very different sort of person-I simply love doing things.That’s why I enjoy sports so much.I mean, actually playing.I hardly ever watch it on TV, but I do read quite a bit about it.I’m even interested in the history of sports.I don’t have much time for anything else, except that I quite like dancing.Some people say I’m not very good at it, though.

Joan

I should say I have great interest in studying.I’d rather do this than anything else.Since I left school.I’ve taken courses in all sorts of things.I go to the city library once a week, but I much prefer evening classes because it’s more fun that way.My latest “craze(狂热)”-if you can call it that -is foreign languages.I’m learning two, not one!

Once a boy came to ask a fisherman how to become cleverer, because his mother always called him foolish boy.

“That’s easy,” answered the fisherman, “ I know one way to make you become cleverer.”

“Really?”

“Of course. It is said a fish head is good for brain(脑子). If you eat one, you’ll become cleverer indeed. Pay only three pounds for one fish head.” The boy paid him three pounds and the fisherman cut off a fish head and handed it to him.

A raw(生的) fish head is no good-not even for a hungry boy to eat but the boy ate it up in two gulps(大口).

“Do you feel anything?” asked the fisherman.

“Not in my head,” said the boy.

The boy lay on the ground and thought, “ One whole fish costs(价值) only two pounds. I had paid him three pounds for the fish head, why couldn’t I have the whole fish for the soup(汤), a head of fish and one pound left over!” He jumped up and shouted at the fisherman. “You thief! You are fooling me!” The fisherman laughed, saying, “ The fish head works now, you see.”
