The Old Cat
An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.
Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."

老貓
一位老婦有隻貓，這只貓很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了東西，因為它年紀太大了。一天，老貓發現一隻老鼠，它跳過去抓這只老鼠，然而，它咬不住這只老鼠。因此，老鼠從它的嘴邊溜掉了，因為老貓咬不了它。
於是，老婦很生氣，因為老貓沒有把老鼠咬死。她開始打這只貓，貓說：「不要打你的老僕人，我已經為你服務了很多年，而且還願意為你效勞，但是，我實在太老了，對年紀大的不要這么無情，要記
住老年人在年青時所做過的有益的事情。」
A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the st.
He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."
He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the st and eat them.
Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.
【譯文】
一個人正朝著一個富人的房子走去，當他沿著路走時，在路的一邊他發現一箱好蘋果，他說：「我不打算吃那些蘋果，因為富人會給我更多的食物，他會給我很好吃的東西。」然後他拿起蘋果，一把扔到土裡去。
他繼續走，來到河邊，河漲水了，因此，他到不了河對岸，他等了一會兒，然後他說：「今天我去不了富人家了，因為我不能渡過河。」
他開始回家，那天他沒有吃東西。他就開始去找吃的，他找到蘋果，很高興地把它們從塵土中翻出來吃了。
不要把好東西扔掉，換個時候你會覺得它們大有用處。
The Rain
A small boy and his father were having a walk in the country when it suddenly began to rain very hard． They did not have their umbrella with them， and there was nowhere to hide from the rain， so they were soon very wet， and the small boy did not feel very happy．
For a long time while they were walking home through the rain， the boy was thinking． Then at last he turned to his father and said to him，「Why does it rain， Father？ It isn't very nice， is it？」
「No， it isn't very nice， but it's very useful，Tom，」answered his father．「It rains to make the fruit and the vegetables grow for us， and to make the grass grow for the cows and sheep．」
Tom thought about this for a few seconds， and then he said，「Then，why does it rain on the road too， Father？」

湯姆對父親的這番話想了一會，然後說：「那麼，父親，老天爺為什麼還要把雨下在路上呢？」

Far and away the most important holiday in China is Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year. To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to people in the West. The dates for this annual celebration are determined by the lunar calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar, so the timing of the holiday varies from late January to early February.
To the ordinary Chinese, the festival actually begins on the eve of the lunar New Year's Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar. But the 15th of the first month, which normally is called the Lantern Festival, means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the country. 總的來說在中國最重要的節日是春節,亦稱中國新年。對中國人民來說它的重要性就如方聖誕節對於西方人民。這個一年一次的節日日期取決於陰歷而不是格里歷，因此假日的時間變化從一月下旬到上旬2月。對普通的中國人，節日總是在除夕夜開始,結束於陰歷的第一個月的第五天。 但1第一個月的15號，通常稱燈會，在國家的大部分地區意味春節的正式結尾。
The Wolf and the Crane狼與鷺鷥
A WOLF who had a bone stuck in his throat hired a Crane, for a large sum, to put her head into his mouth and draw out the bone. When the Crane had extracted the bone and demanded the promised payment, the Wolf, grinning and grinding his teeth, exclaimed:
Why, you have surely already had a sufficient recompense, in having been permitted to draw out your head in safety from the mouth and jaws of a wolf." In serving the wicked, expect no reward, and be thankful if you escape injury for your pains.
狼誤吞下了一塊骨頭，十分難受，四處奔走，尋訪醫生。他遇見了鷺鷥，談定酬金請他取出骨頭，鷺鷥把自己的頭伸進狼的喉嚨里，叼出了骨頭，便向狼要定好的酬金。狼回答說：「喂，朋友，你能從狼嘴裡平安無事地收回頭來，難道還不滿足，怎麼還要講報酬？」 這故事說明，對壞人行善的報酬，就是認識壞人不講信用的本質

It is well known that man is much cleverer than any animal. But which is the cleverest among the animals? Some scientists think it should be Alex, an African gray parrot. He is unlike any other animal. He can really talk with people! When he says "come here" , he really wants someone to come up to him.
"Alex is as clever a child of 2 or 3 years old," says Dr. Pepperberg."He does not just repeat the sound he has been taught. He understands the words!" Alex can tell about 50 different things, name 7 colours and count from 1 to 6.
Is the parrot actually thinking in the way man does? Nobody can say.But the question is very interesting.

Snow fell past the men's basket, and they could see more snow on the ground. The men tried to throw out some more sand; but it was hard. They tried to break the icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were still falling, so they had to drop some whole bags of sand.

Bertrand Russell
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love ,the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.
I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy -- ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it , next, because it relieves loneliness-- that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world , into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what -- at last -- I have found.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much I have achieved.
Love and knowlidge , so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of lonelines, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.
This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.
我為什麼活著
羅素
三股簡單而非凡強烈的激情一直控制著我的一生：對愛的渴望，對知識的追求和對人類苦難不堪忍受的憐憫。這三股激情，象陣陣巨風，把我在痛苦的海洋的路途中吹得任意東西，變動無常，直吹到了絕望的邊緣。
我尋求愛，首先是因為它帶來了欣喜若狂之情——欣喜若狂使人如此心醉神迷，我常常願意犧牲我的全部餘生來換取幾小時這樣的歡樂。我尋求愛，其次是因為它能解除寂寞——那種可怕的寂寞，如同一個人毛發悚然地從這世界的邊緣探望令人戰栗的死氣沉沉的無底深淵。我尋求愛，最後是因為在愛的結合中我看到了聖徒們和詩人們所想像的預言中的天堂景象的神秘雛型。這就是我所尋求的東西，雖然它也許似乎是人生所難以得到的美好事物，但這就是——最後——我終於找到的東西。
我懷著同樣的激情尋求知識。我希望理解人們的心。我希望知道星星為什麼發光。我力圖領悟畢達哥拉斯的才能，他的才能使數字支配著不斷變動的事物。在這方面，我只達到了一小部分，並不很多。
愛和知識，盡其可能，遠遠地把人引向九天之上。倡憐憫總是把我帶回到地面上來。痛苦的呼號的回聲在我心裡回盪。受飢挨餓的兒童，在壓迫者折磨下受苦受難的人們，無依無靠而成為自己子女嫌惡的負擔的老人，以及整個孤苦寂寞的世界，窮困與痛苦都在嘲弄著人生，使人們不能過應有的美好生活。我渴望減輕災難禍害，但是我力不從心，我自己也在受苦。
這就是我的一生。我覺得我的一生過得很值得。如果我還有機會的話，我將樂意再度過這樣的一生。

Once there was an old farmer, with a horse which was almost as old as himself.
He set out one morning with his son to sell the horse before it died. Father

a horse, It's a long way to market(市場). "The farmer know that this was true,
so he rode on the horse, while his son walked.

see how tired boy is?" So the farmer got down, and his son rode instead.\$
Next, three old men stopped them, one said, "Why are you walking, farmer?
Get up, It's too hot for an old man like you to walk today," So the farmer got
up behind his son, and they rode on.
