Old words are wise words

　　EDITOR’S note：The works of British essayist(散文家)Sir Francis Bacon(1561－1626)are well－known throughout Chinese high schools．

　　Nearly 400 years ago in April he breathed his last breath．Today, his essays on friendship, self－love and being young, for example, still remain relevant(相关的)to students throughout the world．

　　Here, the School Edition presents Sir Bacon’s essay on studying．Some of the words have been simplified．

　　Studies serve to delight, for ornament(装饰), and for ability．Their chief use for delight, is in private; for ornament, is in conversation; and for ability, is in the judgment of business．．．To spend too much time in studies is not healthy; to use them too much for ornament, is affectation(矫揉造作); to make judgment wholly by their rules, is the characteristic of a scholar(学究)．

　　Studies perfect nature, and are perfected by experience：for natural abilities are like natural plants, that need pruning(修剪); and studies themselves, give too many general directions in life, they need to be bound(约束)by experiences．．．

　　Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention．．．

　　Reading makes a full man; discussion a ready man(明辨是非的人); and writing an exact man．

　　And therefore, if a man writes little, he has need for a great memory; if he discusses little, he has need for a ready wit(睿智); and if he reads little, he has need for much cunning(狡黠)to pretend he has more knowledge than he does．．．

　　Bowling(球类运动)is good for kidneys(肾); shooting for the lungs and breast; gentle walking for the stomach; riding for the head; and the like．

　　So if a man’s wit lacks focus, let him study mathematics．For if his mind starts wandering(走神), even a little, he must go back to the beginning of his problem again．If his wit is not able to find differences, let him study the philosophers; for they are cymini sectores(Latin for “hair－splitters”－ people who examine problems very closely)．If he is not able to use one thing to prove another, let him study the lawyers’ cases．

　　So every defect(缺陷)of the mind may have a special remedy(治疗法)．

　　If you’ve been joining in chat room conversations, or trading e-mail with Web pals, you have become one of the millions who write in a peculiarly short form of English．

　　And you’ve got a sense of humor about short forms like SOHF(＝sense of humor failure)to describe Internet newcomers who don’t understand you．

　　Across the globe, every night teenagers and their elders are “talking” online－many of them are talking at the same time．

　　It’s fast：try talking to six people at once．It’s brief：three or four words per exchange．It takes wit, concentration, and quick fingers．

　　And it requires tremendous linguistic economy．There’s neither time nor space for explanations．Why consume precious key-strokes telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB(＝be right back)will do?Want to enter a conversation?Just type PMFJI(＝pardon me for jumping in)．Interested in whom you’re talking to?Type A/S/L, the nearly universal request to know your pal’s age, sex and location．You may get 15/M/NY as a response from your pal．

　　If something makes you laugh, say you’re OTF(＝on the floor),or LOL(＝laughing out loud),or combine the two into ROTFL(＝rolling on the floor laughing)．

　　And when it’s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG(＝got to go)or TTYL(talk to you later)．

　　People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can．Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing emotion, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and capitals．Punctuation is going, too．

(1)

In order to talk to several people at the same time on the Internet ________．
[　　]
A．	you have to speak fast and fluently
B．	you have to express your ideas in a brief way
C．	you should speak with wit and humor
D．	one should pay much attention to the accuracy of the words

(2)

If you get 17/F/NY as an answer to your A/S/L, it means ________．
[　　]
A．	the person on the other end is 17 from New York and he is fine
B．	you are talking to a girl who is 17 and lives in New York
C．	you are talking to 17 girls who are from New York
D．	the person who are talking to you is a 1.7-foot tall New York girl

(3)

To save time on the Internet ________．
[　　]
A．	some people leave their letters in the dustbin
B．	some people never use “shift” in their writing
C．	many people leave the capital and punctuation
D．	people seldom use capital letters or punctuation

Cloze

　　Once upon a time，a king, in the company of his ministers, went to the imperial garden for a walk．When he was walking around a pond, a strange idea 　　1　　 upon him and he asked, “How many buckets(桶)of water are there in the pond?” The ministers looked at each other, 　　2　　 to give an answer．

　　Rather disappointed, the king ordered, “You have three days’ grace．Anyone who offers an answer will be handsomely rewarded．Those who fail will be punished．”

　　The time limit was due(到期的)in the twinkling of an eye, yet the ministers were still at their wit’s end．At this time a child appeared who declared that he knew the answer．The king told his 　　3　　 ministers to go with the child for the measurement．To their 　　4　　, the child refused the suggestion with a smile, “It is very easy．No 　　5　　 to go to the pond．” This made the king laugh 　　6　　, “All right, let us know what it is．” The child blinked and said, “That 　　7　　 on the size of the bucket．If it is as big as the pond, there is one bucket of water; if it is 　　8　　 as big, two buckets; if one third as big, three buckets; if…” “Stop! That’s it．You’ve got the 　　9　　．” The king was satisfied and the child was rewarded as expected．

　　Why did the ministers feel it so 　　10　　 to settle the problem? Because they fell in a trap, following a 　　11　　 way of thinking．People’s thinking often goes a habitual way－the beaten track of straightforwardness．It is a static(静态的)way presupposing every object definite and certain, i．e．the size of the pond and the bucket should be clearly 　　12　　．If one of them is unknown, it will be difficult to do the measurement, let alone 　　13　　．Why not change your mode of thought－from static to dynamic(动态的, from concrete to 　　14　　? If you adopt an indirect way and try to find out the proportional relation between the pond and the bucket, you’ll get an answer－flexible yet adequate to solve the problem．

　　Sometimes to get out of the difficulty one must change one’s way of thinking, or simply change one’s 　　15　　 to a problem．
