Once at the end of the term，we had to take an important test in chemistry．The test had a hundred questions. In my room the night before the test，Fred was watching TV．Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test．But on that night he looked perfectly calm．Then he told me of his plan．“It’s very simple．There are a hundred questions and I have to get fifty correct to pass the test．I’ll take a coin into the examination room．I haven’t studied a chemistry book for months，so I’ll just toss the coin．That way，I’m sure I’ll get half the questions right．”
The next day，Fred came happily into the exam room．As he sat tossing a coin for half an hour he marked down his answers．Then he left，half an hour before the rest of us．
The next day，he saw the chemistry professor in the corridor．“Oh，good，”he said，“Have you got the result of the test?”The professor looked at him and smiled，“Ah，it’s you，Baines．Just a minute．”Then he reached into his pocket and took out a coin．He threw it into the air，caught it in his hand and looked at it．
“I’m terribly sorry，Baines，”he said，“You failed!”

Mr Smith was ill and he went to see a doctor． The doctor asked him to put out his tongue（舌头）， and then he said， “OK， You can put your tongue back now． There’s nothing wrong with you， but I’m afraid you have a problem． You hardly ever take exercise．”
“But， doctor，” Mr Smith said， “I don’t think so．”
“Don’t tell me what you think，” the doctor said， “I know what you need． I see a lot of people like you． None of them goes any exercise． They sit in offices all day and in front of the television in the evening． You must walk quickly for at least（至少）20 minutes a day．”
“I don’t want to hear any excuse（借口），” the doctor said． “You must find time for exercise． If you don’t， you will get fat and have health problems．”
“But I walk every day，” Mr Smith said．
“Oh， yes， and I know what kind of walking that is． You walk a few meters to the bus stop from your house， a few more meters from the bus stop to your office， and a few more meters from your office to your dining–room for lunch and back． That’s not a real walk． I’m talking about a walk in the park or by the lake for twenty minutes every day．”
“Would you please listen to me， doctor? Mr Smith said， getting a little angry with his doctor．
“I’m a postman，” Mr Smith went on， “and I walk for nearly（几乎）seven hours every day．”
For a moment the doctor was silent（沉默的）， then he said quietly， “Put out your tongue again， will you?”
