on purpose, 37
that the driver was too tired to drive. “When do you go back home in the evening?”“9 o’clock after this
38 .”“Then when do you come out in the moming?”I
39
another question.“9 o’clock, too-just as if I worked at an office.”His
40
surprised me, because every time I ride a taxi, what I
41
from the driver are only complaints that they have to work from morning till night, it’s hard to earn money they’re often
42
by the police, or that their leaders are seated lazily, 43
the fruits. But this driver told me,“I find it
44
to be a section chief as I was before. I like driving just for
45. It’s fortunate that I hardly drive
46
a passenger. So I earn two or three thousand yuan a month with ease. Yes, I never
47
an empty taxi. If it goes southward, I go northward. If it goes along a

His words showed his
49
with his life and the pride he
50

Life became hard when I was 14. My mother and I moved to New York to 36 my father, who’d moved there to find
37
work when I was three years old. He had a job at a restaurant and only visited us
38
every couple of years.
Before I moved, I knew that people in the US spoke English. But honestly, I didn’t stop to analyze the
39
when I was
40
to leave. Just like I assumed I could easily become a doctor or a lawyer. I assumed that I had the skills to learn English in a few weeks.
When I
41
in the US and started 8th grade at Ditmas Middle School in Brooklyn, everyone was speaking a(n)
42
language I couldn’t understand. I
43
that life had subtitles, like in foreign movies. School was such a serious place here. Sometimes I felt like I was in a geek(呆子) class. The teachers were always
44
my moves so I couldn’t even throw a paper ball at a classmate’s head. And the worst thing was having to read
45
.
46
after almost seven months of complaining about everything, I realized that complaining didn’t change things.
47
just made my life worse. If I was going to
48
in this new concrete jungle, I had to
49
. I began to learn English by reading newspapers on my own
50
school. After about four months, I started enjoying reading the crime and sports stories. After six months of studying, my teachers
51
my improvement and moved me into a more
52
English class. I could go to the store and ask for things that I wanted to buy without
53
frustration. For the first time I felt like I was living on earth again

.I didn’t hear foreign talk. I
55
understand people.

Don’t shoot butterflies with guns.
Can you
36
someone running after a butterfly with a gun in his hands? Won’t such stupidity make you burst out laughing? But wait. Stop and consider how often you might have done something
37
.
A hen, Henny-Penny, lived in a forest with many other animals and birds. One fine, sunny morning, she was busy looking for
38
in the ground. Suddenly she let out a frightened cackle (咯咯叫) with wings flapping
39
. A dry leaf had fallen down on her, and she went
40
at whoever she met, “Run, run for your lives; the sky is falling.” The other creatures stopped whatever they were doing. Some ran behind Henny-Penny, screaming warnings with her, while others
41
the unfounded story that the sky was falling.
We all have
42
people like this hen. The rest of us are like the other foolish creatures who didn’t stop to verify (证实) the
43
for themselves. They shoot butterflies with guns. They just will not think for themselves. Why don’t people think for themselves? Often because of laziness, or because they don’t want to be
44
for their way of thinking.
Walking through life
45
is more dangerous than crossing a busy road with eyes closed. Our thoughts should lead us towards the light of wisdom and sense. Our thinking should be high,
46
us to the ranks of the sensible. We have been blessed with reasoning, sensitive minds. Let us make use of them and be
47
of our own minds. Don’t let your mind be enslaved by someone else. Stop, think and then go ahead.
