It was a cold winter night when the police officer Lee and the detective Smith were walking back to the police station. They saw a robber attacking an old woman on the road. Lee and Smith ran over to the robber at once.
The robber saw them and ran away as fast as he could. Lee and Smith followed him for a long distance until the robber rushed into an underground station. Lee and Smith ran into the station and tried to find him. It was quite dark outside that night and they couldn’t see the robber clearly. But they remembered what his body shape was like.
When they went in, they saw six men in the station. All of them had the similar build as the robber. Lee looked at them carefully, one by one.
The first man was arguing(争辩) with an underground station worker. He seemed to be very upset.
The second one was watching the fight between the first man and the worker. It seemed like he was quite interested in it.
The third one was running to warm himself up, as it was cold in the station.
The fourth one was quietly reading a newspaper. His face was hidden behind the newspaper.
The fifth one was wearing a big coat, sitting on a bench quietly.
The sixth one was waiting for the underground. He looked at his watch several times. He seemed to be in a hurry.
Lee finally found out which one the robber was. He whispered to Smith, “Look! The robber wanted to cover up his panting(气喘吁吁) by doing this.”

【推荐2】What are the basic ingredients（要素）of good manners？A strong sense of fairness is one of them．
A friend once told me an experience that he had．When he was driving along a one-lane（单行小路），unpaved（未铺路的）mountain road,the car ahead of his produced clouds of choking dust（呛人的尘土），and it was a long way to the nearest paved main road．Suddenly,the car ahead stopped at a wider place on the road．My friend thought there must be something wrong with the car ahead．He stopped and asked if anything was wrong． "No，" said the other driver． "But you've endured my dust so far．I'll endure yours the rest of the way．"
Another ingredient is empathy（同情心）．It makes a person see into the mind or heart of someone else．Recently I happened to read such a story in a book．

Yet another ingredient is the ability to treat people alike（一视同仁）．No matter who he is and what he does，everyone is worth respecting．

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 wind was blowing and it was raining heavily. I was running 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 scared and the man looked scared, 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 unhappy 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.

There was blood everywhere. I rushed over for her pulse but she was dead. I was so scared. I sat on the floor beside her body without knowing what to do.

【推荐1】Once upon a time, a fox was walking along a road. He saw some beautiful grapes hanging over a high wall. He stopped to look at the grapes. They looked nice to eat. The fox wanted to eat the grapes very much, but he couldn’t reach them. So he jumped as high as he could. Sometimes his nose touched a grape, but his mouth could not reach it. The fox jumped and jumped until he was very tired.
Finally he stopped jumping and walked away with his nose held high. He said, “I don’t need those grapes. They look nice but I’m sure they are sour.”

【推荐2】One day, a teacher was having a class. He held up a glass of water and asked the class, “How heavy do you think this glass of water is?”
The student gave many different answers. Some said it was 20 g, some said it was 50 g, while others might say it was 500 g. “It does not matter on the weight (重量) itself. It depends on (取决于) how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache (疼痛) in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to take me to the hospital. It is the same weight, but the longer you hold it, the heavier it becomes.”
“Do you know why? If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, for the burden becoming heavier and heavier.” The teacher said.
“What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again.”
We have to put down the burden sometimes. In this way we can be refreshed and are able to carry on again.
So before you go back home from work tonight, put the burden of work down.
Don’t carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow.
Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders, let it down for a moment if you can. Why not have a try?

From the time he was a little boy, Tony loved to figure out how to make things move.
His father once asked him to feed the chickens at six-thirty in the morning-every day. Tony had an idea--what if he could feed the chickens without leaving his bed?
He rigged up some pulleys (滑轮) and ran rope from the chicken coop (鸡笼) door to his bedroom window. That night, he spread chicken feed outside the chicken coop door.
The next morning... Tony pulled on the rope, and the door to the chicken coop opened! The chickens ate their breakfast. Tony stayed snug in his bed, and his dad, so impressed, never made Tony do another thing.

【推荐2】Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452 in Italy. He is best known as an artist today. One of his famous paintings is called Mona Lisa. However, Leonardo had many other natural abilities. He was also a great inventor. Many of his inventions have become important in modern day life. Although Leonardo hated war, he invented many different machines used for wars. His most special invention was the machine gun, which was produced and used in war many years later.
By watching the way birds fly, Leonardo tried to find out the secret of flying. Among his sketches(素描) we can see several objects. We consider them as modern flying machines. Leonardo spent many hours thinking about how to make good use of time. He developed ideas for labor-saving machines like cutting machines.
Leonardo was a strange man. He didn’t eat any meat, which was unusual in those times. He never published his ideas and scientific discoveries. He usually used mirror writing, which looks like writing in a mirror, starting from the right side of the page and moving to the left.
We have very little of his work today. Leonardo finished only a few of his paintings. He left many unfinished because he thought they were not perfect. No one in his life time knew how great Leonardo was. We now believe, however, that he was one of the cleverest men the world has ever known.
