Omar Chajam is a wise old man who lives in a small town. One day when he was walking down the street, he met a man who was always jealous (嫉妒的) of him. The man came up and began saying something bad to Chajam,“You are a drinker! You are a thief! You are an idiot!”
Chajam didn’t care. He just smiled and walked on.
Another man dressed very well saw this. He didn’t understand and asked Chajam,“How can you bear such offences (冒犯)? Don’t you feel hurt?”
Chajam smiled again and said,“Come with me. I’ll show you something.”
The man followed Chajam to a dusty (落满灰尘的) room. Chajam lighted the candles and began searching through a pile of old clothes. Then he found a completely worthless robe (长袍). He threw it to the man and said,“Try it, it will suit you.”
The man took the robe and looked at it. It was so old that it even had some holes in it.

Like any good mother, when Karen found out that another baby was on the way, she did what she could do to help her 3-year-old son Michael prepare for it. She and her husband found out that the new baby was going to be a girl. Day after day, night after night, Michael sang to his sister in his mom’s tummy(肚子).
Finally, Michael’s little sister was born. But she was in a very serious condition. The doctor told the parents there was very little hope. They kept the baby girl in the ICU(重症室). Karen was so sad. She decided to say goodbye to the baby. Michael, however, kept asking his parents to let him see his sister. “I want to sing to her,” he would say. Finally Karen decided to take Michael to his sister. This might be the last time he saw her alive.
Michael looked at his baby sister. After a moment, he began to sing. In the lovely voice of a 3-year-old, Michael sang: “You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray.” Suddenly the baby girl seemed to be better. Her heart beat well little by little.
“Keep on singing, Michael,” encouraged Karen with tears in her eyes. “You never know, dear, how much I love you, please don’t take my sunshine away.” As Michael sang to his sister, the baby’s breath(呼吸) became smooth.

Have you ever done any other jobs?
Yes, I did different kinds of jobs when I was a student. One summer I did fruit-picking in Spain.

A loud noise suddenly hurts your ears while you enjoy a film in the cinema. A stranger makes you jump as he shouts at his friend on the other side of the city. Mobile phones are everywhere and sometimes they can be very annoying. Although they are necessities(必需品) of modern life, it is common to hear people complain about(抱怨) mobile phones.
Most public places have mobile phone rules. So try to keep your phone ring as low as possible or put it on vibrate mode(振动模式). It is good to leave your phone at home when you would be at school or when visiting a hospital.
If you need to make or take a call while in a meeting, at a restaurant or a theatre, go to the washroom. If you are expecting a call, get a seat near the door. It is polite to tell others at the beginning that you are expecting an important call. When you get a call and you are with friends, keep the call short and speak quietly.
A good way to make sure that people don’t interrupt(打断)you and others is to tell your friends when it’s a good time to call.
