At the age of 16, Einstein always played with a group of crazy kids. Because he was so busy playing, he didn’t study enough and failed his final exam.
One morning, when Einstein was holding a fishing tool and was about to go fishing with his friends, his father stopped him and said seriously, “Einstein, you’re so crazy about playing that you failed your exam. I’m worried about your future.”
“What are you worrying about? Jack and Robert also failed, but don’t they still get to go fishing?”
“My boy, you can’t think like that,” his dad said. “There is a story that people tell in our hometown. Listen to it now.”
“There were two cats playing on the top of a house. One cat was careless and fell down the chimney(烟囱) while holding the other cat. When the two cats climbed out of the chimney, one of the cats had soot(烟灰) on his face, while the other cat’s face was clean. Seeing the soot-faced cat, the clean cat thought its face must be dirty, so it quickly ran to the riverside and washed its face. The soot-faced cat saw the clean-faced cat and thought its face was also clean, so it just walked down the street happily.”
“Einstein, no one can be your ‘mirror’. You have to think for yourself. If you follow others, you will never learn.”
Hearing this, Einstein laid down his fishing tool and returned to his room. He studied hard and didn’t follow others from then on. This allowed him to be successful.
So, what kind of people do you usually hang out with? Do they study a lot or do they just want to play all the time? Don’t blindly follow others.

Do you get lots of reading tasks as part of your homework? You might wish that you could read faster. 1. But experts have dismissed(驳回）this announcement.
"Speed reading is not actually possible," said Elisabeth Schotter, a scientist at the University of South Florida, US. Schotter pointed out that people who say that they can teach others how to speed read are usually doing it to make money by selling courses and books.
In fact, speed reading has been advertised (做广告）since 1959, when US educator Evelyn Wood introduced a speed reading program. Several US presidents have event asked their staff to take speed reading courses, 2.
Schotter explained that reading is a complicated(复杂的）process. It includes four stages: seeing a word, searching its meaning from your memory, connecting it with other words in the same sentence, and then moving on to the next word. 3. It can't be sped up. Some people who are able to speed read are simply skimming(略读）4. Skimmers can find out the main idea of a passage. But they will not be able to recall all of the information.
5. Research suggests that you should try to improve your vocabulary and simply read more. Then you can improve your reading speed.
