11、eading his book. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to copy him in every way he could.One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I try to read the book just like you, but I dont understand it, and I forget what I understand as soon as I close the book.

12、he grandpa quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house.

13、ter next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned. Out of breath, he told his grandpa that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, so he went to get a bucket instead. The grandpa said, “I
14、 dont want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. Youre just not trying hard enough.” The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandpa the basket was empty again. Out of breath, he said, “Grandpa, its useless!”“So, you think it is useless?” the grand
15、pa said, “Look at the basket.”The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different.

19、t Samuel Taylor Coleridge. He was writing a poem when he was interrupted by a knock at the door.This was an age before telephones. Someone was delivering a message. When Coleridge got back to his poem, he had lost his inspiration. His poetic mood had been broken by the knock on his door. His unfinis
20、hed poem, which could otherwise have been a masterpiece, would now never be more than a little piece.This story tells how unexpected communication can destroy an important thought, which brings us to the cell phone.The most common complaint about cell phones is that people talk on them to the annoya
21、nce of people around them. But more damaging may be the cell phones interruption of our thoughts.We have already entered a golden age of little white lies about our cell phones, and this is by and large (大体上) a healthy, protective development. “I didnt hear it ring” or “I didnt realize my phone had
22、shut off” are among the lies we tell to give ourselves space where were beyond reach.The notion of being unreachable is not a new conceptwe have “Do Not Disturb” sign on the doors of hotel rooms.

31、Life, 51% of women said they drive more safely. The evidence is on their side: Men are 3.4 times more likely than women to get a ticket for careless driving and 3.1 times as likely to be punished for drunk driving. “Women are on average less aggressive and more law abiding (守法的) drivers, which leads
32、 to fewer accidents.” the report says. However, not all male drivers share the same opinion. Of the men surveyed by MetLife, 39% claimed male drivers were safer. The findings did back them up on one point: automotive knowledge. The report showed that more men are familiar with current safety equipme
33、nt such as electronic stability control, which helps prevent rollover accidents.Auto safety unavoidably matters to money.
