24、 When she came back, I said I didnt know the size of my girls finger. So I left the shop without buying a ring.

Although he was born 2,562 years ago, people still remember him on this day.Confucius lived in the kingdom of Lu, part of todays Shando

27、ng province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. His childhood was sad. His father died when he was only 3 and he had to work to help his mother. But young Confucius didnt give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry (诗歌) and sports.Later, he became

28、a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time only children from noble (贵族) families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime. Today, people still follow Confucius les

29、sons. He told us that everyone has something worthwhile to learn and to teach. When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some area.

30、portant to studying. All studying but no thinking makes people confused (困惑的) . All thinking but no studying makes people lazy.

34、chers were given the names of five children. They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average (中等), and they were not the best students at all. Well, guess what? At the end of the year, all the five average students

35、scored among the highest in the class. What made these average students change so much to become top students? The only difference was the change in their teachers attitude (态度) . Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students, they expected (期待) more from them And so these

36、 five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could. Do you know? If you expect the best from people, theyll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said, Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and y
