There once lived a man with his wife and children in a very small house. There was always noise in his house as his children played, laughed and sang. The man could find no peace at all in his house, so he decided to ask a wise old woman for help.
He told her about his problem. “Bring all of your farm animals into doors to live in your house,” advised the woman. “Bring in your sheep, horses, cows, chickens…” The man thought it was not good. But since the old woman was known for her wisdom(智慧), he agreed to do as she said. He went home and brought inside all the farm animals he had.
As you could imagine, it was out of order at home. The animals made all kinds of noise. The man could find no peace at all, so he went back to ask the wise old woman. She listened patiently to his complaint(抱怨), and then offered some new advice. “Go home and take all of the animals out of your home.”she said. The man was surprised, as it had been only a few days since she had advised him to bring them all into his house. But he agreed to follow her instructions. He returned to his house and drove all the animals outside. To his surprise, his home became peaceful.
We should see how bad things can get before we thank for what we already have.

One day in the eighth grade, I was taking a Math Test trigonometry (三角学) . Now for a middle school student, there was nothing easy about it. So I had studied for about two hours the night before. After reviewing it for some time, I had started to understand it, so then I closed the book and _________. However, it was not until midnight that I fell asleep. The next day, when I got the test, I tried my best to work out the hard problems, but the numbers I came up with were strange. I sat back on my chair and looked for any possible answers, but I could not remember anything or think correctly. I started thinking about my dad coming home from work to find that I failed the test.
“How could you have failed the test? I am sure that nobody else in the whole class got as bad a grade as you did!”
Naturally I didn’t want that to happen. My dad was also really busy at work at present, so I was afraid that this may make him mad. When feeling hopeless, I noticed that my table partner was writing fast on his test. I was attracted to look over at his test, but then the many bad results I had heard about cheating (作弊) came into my mind. I know that if I started cheating now, it would be hard to give up that habit during high school. In the end, I decided not to copy his answers, and got a B on that test. Even though my dad gave me a hard time about it, it would have been a lot worse if he found out that I had given in and cheated.
