5．Most people agree that honesty is a good thing．But does Mother Nature agree？Animals can't talk，but can they lie in other ways？Can they lie with their bodies and behavior？Animal experts may not call it lying，but they do agree that many animals，from birds to chimpanzees，behave dishonestly to fool other animals．Why？Dishonesty often helps them survive．
Many kinds of birds are very successful at foling other animals．For example，a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young．When a predator（猎食动物）gets close to its nest，the plover leads the predator away from the nest．How？It pretends to have a broken wing．The predator follows the"hurt"adult，leaving the baby birds safe in the nest．
Another kind of bird，the scrub jay，buries its food so it always has something to eat．Scrub jays are also thieves．hey watch where others bury their food and steal it．But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them．So they go back later，unbury the food，and bury it again somewhere else．
Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work．How？They don't make nests．Instead，they get into other birds'nests secretly．Then they lay their eggs and fly away．When the baby birds come out，their adoptive parents feed them．
Chimpanzees，or chimps，can also be sneaky．After a fight，the losing chimp will give its hand to the other．When the winning chimp puts out its hand，too，the chimps are friendly again．But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again．
Chimps are sneaky in other ways，too．When chimps find food that they love，such as bananas，it is natural for them to cry out．Then other chimps come running．But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food．That way，other chimps don't hear them，and they don't need to share their food．
As children，many of us learn the saying"You can't fool Mother Nature．"But maybe you can't trust her，either．

4．Geoffrey Payne talks for the first time about the night his wife was killed．The judge thought it was he who killed his wife．Now he wrote to a magazine from the prison （监狱） about what happened on the night of 13October 1999．
I had to stay late at the hospital that night to do an operation．I finally left at about 11p．m．I drove home slowly because the weather was terrible-the wind was blowing and it was raining heavly，I was turning into our road when a man suddenly ran in front of my car．I almost hit him but I stopped just in time．I was frightened and the man looked frightened too．I got out of the car but he ran away before I could ask if he was all right．It was very strange．
When I got home，the lights were on but it was very quiet．I called to my wife but there was no answer．Then I remembered that she was out at a concert．
I was still very upset about what happened on the road，so I made myself a drink．Then I went upstairs to have a bath．I saw that the window in the bedroom was open．This was strange because my wife always locked the doors and windows before she went out．She was afraid of burgars．When I went to close it，I found Ellen．She was lying on the floor．There was blood everywhere．I rushed over and felt for her pulse but she was dead．I sat on the floor beside her body and was too frightened to do anything．
The next thing I knew，the sky was getting light．I can't remember a thing about that night．In the morning I phoned the police．They arrived about half an hour after I phoned them．But it seemed like hours．During that time I tried hard to remember anything I could about the night before．I couldn't stop thinking about the man in the road．What was he doing at that time of night in our quiet neighbourhood？Why did he look．so frightened"!Why did he run away？

19．A primary school teacher decided to let her class play a game．The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a bag with a few potatoes in．Each potato will be given a name of a person that the child dislikes，so the number of potatoes that a child will put in his bag will depend on the number of people he cannot forgive （原谅）．
So when the day came，every child brought some potatoes with the name of the people he disliked．Some had 2or 3potatoes while some had up to 5potatoes．The teacher then told the children to carry the potatoes with them wherever they went for one week．With days passing by，the children started to complain（抱怨）because of the bad smell let out by the rotten （腐烂的） potatoes they were carrying．
Those children who had 5potatoes really began to feel the bag was becoming heavier and heavier．After one week，the children were happy to hear that the teacher had finally ended the
game．The teacher asked，"How did you feel while carrying the potatoes with you for one week？"
The children started complaining of the trouble that they had to carry the heavy and smelly potatoes wherever they went．

However，the other four balls-family，health，friends and spirit-are made of"glass"．If we drop one of them，it will be broken．It will never be the same again．So we must understand that and try to balance them．But how can we doit？The following are some suggestions：
a．Don't let other people set goals（目标）for you．Only you know what the best is for yourself．
