Long, long ago there lived an old man. He had a very big orange tree in his garden. On the tree there were many fine oranges.
One day the old man found one of the oranges was bigger than the others. It was as big as a watermelon. So he took the big orange to the king. The king was very happy and gave the old man a lot of money for it.
When a rich man heard of this, he said to himself, "It is only an orange. Why did the king give him so much money? If I take my gold cup to the king, he will give me much more money for it."
The next day when the king got the gold cup, he said to the rich man, “What a beautiful cup! I’ll give you something for it. Please take the great orange."

Do NOT go outside.You could get injured from falling glass or parts of buildings.If you are outside,stay away from buildings and power lines (输电线).

Who do you admire(崇拜)?Different people may have different ideas.
If you’re a sports fan, perhaps the person you admire most is a great basketball player, and Yao Ming is probably the one in your mind. If you study music or play an instrument, perhaps the person you admire most is gifted musician like Mozart, who began to write beautiful music at a very young age. Or maybe you admire great scientists, for example, Yuan Longping.
We have many reasons to admire famous people and we often give much of our respect to them. However, we shouldn’t neglect those who are common, such as nurses, train drivers, firemen, cleaners and so on. They may be working in a corner of the world without being noticed, but all these people spend their working days serving the public. They show great dedication(奉献).However, what they do is often unnoticed by us. Have you ever thought of what our life will be like if they stop working?
So next time when you appreciate famous people, don’t forget those who are common around you.
