Hope he located the addresses of two country kids who grew up in poor families but had a keen desire to study . From then on he sent them money regularly. Later the two made their way to college, and even got a chance to study overseas. They often thought of Uncle Li and kept corresponding with him. Whenever he read their letters, Uncle Li's face would broaden into a smile. He felt this to be the most sensible investment in his life. 6

我小的时候对动物产生了浓厚的兴趣,所以常去家乡的动物园参观。那里最吸引我的是一对老虎，特别是那只雄虎。它们起初被关在一只大的铁笼子(cage)里，后来放了出来，被安置在一个叫虎山的地方。山下有一道又阔又深的沟(ditch)将这山与参观者隔开，而且沿着沟还有一道高高的铁篱笆围着。
二十年后我再度访问了这个动物园，欣慰地发现虎山仍在,但已扩大了许多，在那里活动的共有大小六只老虎，而不是两只了。
When I was young I developed a keen interest in animals. So I often visited the zoo in my home town. There what attracted me most was a couple of tigers, especially the male. They were kept in a huge iron cage at first, but later was released from it and put in a place called Tiger Hill. The hill was separated from the visitors by a very wide and deep ditch. What's more, it was also surrounded by a high iron fence along the ditch.Twenty years later, I revisited the zoo and was relieved to find the Tiger Hill was still there but greatly extended. Moving around now were six tigers, old and young, instead of two! 7

教授一进教室，黑板上\欢迎您重返教室\几个字便引起了他的注意。前些日子教授在车祸中受伤，在附近的一个医院里接受了几次手术。医生估计他活下来的可能性最多只有10%。现在他不仅病愈，还能重新执教。每个学生见到教授都很激动，过了好几分钟课堂才平静下来。
The instant the professor entered the classroom, the words on the blackboard \Back Professor\drew his attention. He had been injured in a car accident, and had had several operations in a nearby hospital. The doctor calculated his chances of survival to be no more than 10%. Now, not only had he recovered from his injury, but he was also able to resume teaching. Every student felt excited at the sight of him, and minutes passed before the class cooled down. 8

今天早晨我从我的便携式收音机中听到一则很有意思的新闻：一个三十六岁的男子和他十岁的儿子在同一个班级上课，为取得高分而互相竞争。事情是这样的：那个男子叫李伟，小时候太懒散，什么都不肯学。由于几乎没有受过教育，没有掌握有用的技术，所以他很难挣到足够维持生活的工资。他的生活经历使他充分认识到一个道理：他必须首先获得知识，然后才能积累财富。李伟发誓要跟儿子一起上学，下决心努力学习。
This morning I heard an interesting piece of news over my portable radio: A man of 36 and his son of 10 attend the same class competing with each other for high marks. The story goes/It's like this:The man, Li Wei by name, was too idle to learn anything when young. With little education, with no useful skills, he could hardly earn an adequate living wage. His life experiences drove home to him the point that he had to acquire knowledge before he was able to accumulate wealth. So Li Wei swore that he would go to school with his son, determined to learn.
