Summer Term in the School of Life will start on Friday 25 January 2015, in Collingwood, Melbourne, Australia and will become the first international school to open its doors.

To make everyday life rich, the writer Alain de Botton has worked hard at getting the best ideas and the School of Life is his brainchild（构想). Since it began in London in 2009, more than 50,000 people have taken part in its programs and its new way of life-long learning is now well-known all over the world.

Summer Term in the School of Life is a 10-week project offering a selection of the UK’s most popular programs, led by Australia’s thinkers. “We are very excited to start the School of Life in Australia. We can’t wait to start receiving our first guests（客人）,” says Alain de Botton.

Summer Term will include different classes, workshops and other special events held every Friday, Saturday and Sunday between 25January and 31 March. The conversation Café onsite will serve up a daily conversation menu, light food and of course, delicious coffee.

“There has been a growing need among Australians to deal with the problems in life like love, creativity, work, money, nature and death. The School of Life Australia will provide a space for us to explore (探测) these subjects,” says Sara Tiefebtun, Project Director of the School of Life Australia.

Program details for the School of Life Australia’s Summer Term will be announced in December 2013. For more information sign up to our mailing list at: www. theschoollife.com/

Many students thanked the teacher and left. The teacher looked at the remaining（剩下的）students and said, "Does anyone else want to get a 'B'? This is your last chance." Two students decided to go.

Seven students remained. The teacher then handed out the papers. There were only three sentences on the paper: Congratulations! You have just got an in this class. Keep believing in ．

I never had a teacher like that, but I think it is a test that any teacher could give. Students who are not in what they have learned are 'B' students at best.

The same is in our daily life. The 'A' students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have both successes and failures. They have learned life's lessons, not only from normal education, from events in their lives. In the end, they have become people. You see, one should always believe in himself.

Long, long ago a man went to India and he had never been there before. When he got there, he saw a lot of fruit, but much of it was expensive because they couldn’t grow much because there was little water. Finally he saw a big basket of some very red and long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop.

So he went up and asked, “How much each kilo?” and the shop keeper said, “Two rupees(卢比).”Two rupees in India was nothing. So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it: oh, my god! His eyes watered, his mouth watered and burnt, and his face became red. He jumped up and down, saying, “Ah! Ah! Ah!”

But he still continued to eat the fruit! Some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said, “You’re crazy, man. Those are chilies(辣椒)!You can’t eat so many! People use them as a condiment, but only a little bit to put into food for taste. You can’t just eat them like that.” But the silly man said, “No, I can’t stop! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them up. It’s my money!”

And you think that man was silly, right? We sometimes do a lot of things like that. We spend money, time or effort doing something. And even though it’s been a long time, hard experience tells us it won’t work, and we know there’s no more hope, we still continue just because we’ve put money, time, effort and love in to it. Just like the man who ate the chilies and felt so bad but couldn’t stop because he didn’t want to waste the money he’d paid.

　 So even if you’ve lost something, let it go and move on. That’s better than continuing to lose.

A. he hadn’t eaten it before B. he was hungry

4.From the passage, we can learn that_________.

A. we shouldn’t waste money

B. we shouldn’t eat chilies

C. we shouldn’t buy something cheap
