举一反三
was blown into the sea. He touched his head with his hand and went on reading his newspaper.
There was a person beside him who was surprised and told him: "Sir. Your hat was blown into the
sea. " "I see. Thanks. " He said and then read the newspaper again. "But your hat is worth a lot of
money. " "Yes, I am thinking of how to save money and buy another one. I lost my hat, I felt very
sorry. But can it come back?"
It is true that the lost thing sometimes will never return. It is better to think of ways to solve the
problem than trying to find it.
Many people have such experience (经历) that lost something valuable (有价值的)or important.
Then they would feel very sorry and bitter. Why? It is because they can"t adjust(调整) our attitude
(态度) to such things. And only think about the things which will never return. But I think we should
think about how to get the new one instead of regretting(遗憾) only.
( )1. When we lost something important or valuable(珍贵的) , we must try to find it.
( )2. It is better to find a way to solve the problem of losing things than to feel sorry only.
( )3. The man"s hat was blown away when he was reading a book on the deck.

| I"ve loved my mother"s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world. Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. "But the desk," she"d said again, "is for Elizabeth. " I never saw her anger, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was too "emotional (另动感情的) ". But she lived "on the surface". As years passed, I had my own family, I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive (原谅) me. I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came. My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest, finally, peace. It seemed that nothing happened. I couldn"t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not. Now the present of her desk told me, as she"d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside-a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded (折叠) and refolded many times. Give me the answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words. | |||
