     Two strangers were sitting together in a plane. They were on a long journey. One of the man was a
teacher, the other was a farmer.
     They sat without talking for a while, then the farmer said, "Let"s do something to pass the time." "What
do you want to do?" the teacher asked. "We can ask each other riddles," the farmer said. "You start." " Let"s
make the rules first," the teacher said. "And to make the game more interesting, let"s play it for money. If

a riddle, I"ll pay you 50 dollars." The teacher thought for a while, then he said, "OK. That"s fair. Who"ll
go first?" "I will," the farmer said. "Here is my riddle. What has three legs when it walks, but only two
legs when it flies?" The teacher thought and thought, "What has three legs when it walks, but only two
when it flies?" Then he said, "That is a good one. I don"t know the answer." He gave the farmer 100
dollars and said, "Tell me the answer. What is it?"

阅读理解。     One day. Many years ago, when I was working as a psychologist in England, David was brought into
my office. His face was pale (苍白) and he looked at his own feet.
     David lost his father when he was two years old and lived with his mother and grandfather ever since.
But the year before he turned 13, his grandfather died and his mother was killed in a car accident. His
teacher told me that he refused to talk to others from then on.
      How could I help him?
      David didn"t say a word. As he was leaving. I put my hand on his shoulder.
      "Come back next week if you like," I said.
      He came and I suggested we played a game of chess. He agreed. After that we played chess every
Wednesday afternoon-in complete silence. Usually, he arrived earlier than he agreed. It seemed as if he
liked to be with me. But why didn"t he ever look at me?
     "Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with," I thought.
