In our lives we are always playing games, because life itself is a game. Games are important for us to get knowledge and take decisions.

Games teach us to learn good or bad things. We can use the good things that the game teaches us in our lives. The bad things could do harm to our lives. Be careful with these bad things. Games can teach us bad or good things at the same time; in this case we need to separate very carefully what is bad from what is good to improve our lives.

Games teach us about history, economics (经济) and so on. Some games come with history knowledge and help us to learn very quickly about history. Economics is very important in our lives and games teach us about how the economics work.

Games can help us a lot when we make our own decisions. Because of games, we can do quickly, sure and right. We can make decisions very quickly after we practice games. Also we are sure about our decisions because when we play games we need to be very sure what we are doing.

The Fish I Didn’t Catch

I still remember my first fishing trip as if it were but yesterday. It was a still, sweet day of early summer. I received the first fishing pole from my uncle’s hand, and walked with him towards the _____.

My uncle, who knew where the best hangouts of fish were, kindly placed me at the most favorable point. I threw out my line as I had so often seen others, and ____ eagerly for a bite. Nothing came of it. “Try again,” said my uncle. Suddenly the bait(鱼饵) went down out of sight. “Now for it,” I thought, “Here is a fish at last.”

I made a strong pull, and brought up a tangle of weeds(一团海草). Again and again I cast out my line and drew it back ____. I looked at my uncle appealingly(可怜巴巴地). “Try once more,” he said, “We fishermen must have ____. It took me a whole day until I got my first fish.”

Suddenly something pulled hard at my line, and swept off with it into deep water. Jerking it up, I saw a big fish wriggling(扭来扭去) in the sun. “Uncle!” I cried, looking back in uncontrollable ____, “I’ve got a fish!” “Not yet,” said my uncle. As he spoke, there was a plash(泼溅) in the water, my hook hung empty from the line. I had lost my ____. My patience was used up.

I sat down on the nearest stone and ____ to be comforted. Even my uncle promised that there were more fish in the river. He refitted my bait, put the pole again in my hands, and told me to try my luck once more.

“But remember, boy,” he said, “Never show off catching a fish until he is on dry ground.”

Though years have now passed, I have always been reminded of the fish that I did not catch. When I hear people show off a work as yet undone, I call to mind that scene by the river, and the wise warning of my uncle, “It’s no use to talk too ____ about anything until it’s done.”
