“Why can birds fly? Even a fly can fly. Why should these small living things have wings and be able to fly but we men can't?”
The man who was asking the questions didn't look like a teacher. His students weren't in a classroom. They were standing outdoors listening to him talk. But he was a teacher, a very great teacher. His name was Socrates. He lived in the Greek city of Athens (希臘雅典) long, long ago. He wore old woolen clothes. He never wore shoes no matter how rainy or cold the weather was. He knew all the famous writers and leaders in Athens. But he never wanted to be famous or rich himself. He just wanted to think and talk about his ideas.
Some people said that Socrates thought so much and so hard about the world that he sometimes would stand alone for many hours just thinking, not moving or speaking a word.
Socrates' students were eager to learn from him. But because he spoke out when someone' s opinion was wrong, some of the leaders in Athens became so angry that they arrested (逮捕) Socrates and put him into prison (監(jiān)獄).
But Socrates refused to stop talking. He chose to die rather than give up teaching what he believed to be true.

[ ]
A. He wanted to be a famous writer

Americans with small families own a small car or a large one. If both parents are working, they usually have two cars. When the family is large, one of the cars is sold and they will buy a van (住房汽車(chē)).
A small car can hold(容納)four persons and a large car can hold six persons but it is very crowded. A van holds seven persons easily, so a family with three children can ask their grandparents to travel together.
Mr. King and his wife had a third child last year. This made them sell a second ear and buy a van. There are seven seats in the van, and two of them are used to put things on, for a family of five must carry many suitcases when they travel. When they arrive at their grandparents' home, the suitcases are put into the two seats. And then they can carry their grandparents.
Americans call vans motor homes. A motor home is always used for holidays. When families are traveling to the mountains or to the seaside, they can live in their motor home for a few days or weeks. All the members of a big family can enjoy a happier life when they are traveling together. That is why motor homes have become very popular. In America there are many parks for motor homes.

My respecting teacher
I always thought that a man who was wise (睿智的) and good would become rich, but this year I have learned that this is not always true. I learned this from my teacher. He is both wise and good, but is not rich at all, for being a teacher, he doesn't have a good income. He may be able to get more money if he gives up teaching for business.

He always smiles at us when we go to ask him for help. He is kinder to us than anyone whom I've ever known. I think it must be easier to learn history or maths than to learn how to become such a man. He scolds (責(zé)備) us when we do something wrong, but it teaches us to try to do better. We all wish to study with him as long as possible, but that may be impossible.

I was very disappointed (失望) not to be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday. The notice in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:30 a.m. and 3:00 p. m. Since I work from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p. m, the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unluckily, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service (服務(wù)) between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes.
Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes waiting for the bus. By the time I saw one come around the comer, there was not enough time left to make the trip. So I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday, my luck changed. I got on a bus right away. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man said he had been waiting in line for over an hour. I knew I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and went hack across the town. By Friday I decided to make the trip by taxi, it was expensive, but I felt the concert would be worth hearing. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, I quickly found, was that they had already sold all the tickets.

[ ]
(3) If lucky, the writer could spend about ________ on the trip to the theatre from his office by bus.
