A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the previous stone in the wise woman’s bag, admired it, and asked the wise woman to give it to him. The wise woman did so without hesitation.

　　 The traveler left. He knew the jewel was worth enough to give him security for the rest of his life. But a few days later he came back, searching for the wise woman. When he found her, he returned the stone and said, “I know how valuable this stone is. But why were you willing to give it to me? I give it to you in the hope that you can give me something much more precious.”

W: I feel very excited to come to Beijing to watch the Olympic Games! During these days I have some time left, where do you recommend I should go besides the Great Wall?

M: Madam, do you hear that there are four things you are absolutely supposed to do while in Beijing?

W: What are they?

M: One is climbing the Great Wall, one is visiting the Summer Palace, the others are eating Beijing Roast Duck and shopping in Xiushui Market. Yesterday the US late president George Bush with his family went shopping in Xiushui Market, and bought seven silk pajamas.

W: Oh, Xiushui Market is well known. It’s also called Silk Street. Last Thursday, Anne Rogge, wife of Jacques, the International Olympic Committee president, bought several dresses there. I am supposed to order a silk dress. How soon will it be sent to me?

M: Wang Zili, general manager of the Xiushui Market said, the tailors’ ability to deliver clothes as quickly as eight hours after taking an order is the main draw for shoppers. So it is efficient.

W: Okay. Good. And where is the famous Peking Duck restaurant?

M: You mean the Quanjude Restaurant?

W: Yes. That’s the one. Is it easy to find?

M: Yes, very easy. It’s on Qianmen Street.

W: It’s just south of Tian’anmen Square, isn’t it? Okay, I will go there tomorrow.

M: How come David is always full of energy?

W: He has a strange but highly effective way of sleeping.

M: What is that?

W: He takes a short sleep for an hour every six hours and has a total of four hours of sleep each day.

M: Where did he get that strange idea?

W: He read it in a book which said it was the best way for human beings and he believes it.

M: How many hours do you sleep a day?

W: I need at least seven hours. I tried to follow David’s example but it never worked for me.

M: If I sleep during the day, I can never wake up.

W: Not everyone is the same as David, I guess.

M: Aaaagh!

W: But I haven’t touched you. What are you shouting for?

M: You are going to touch me.

W: Well, of course I am. How can I give you an injection without touching you? As soon as you’ve had the injection, your gum will freeze and you won’t feel a thing.

M: How do I know what you will do while I am asleep? You might rob me.

W: Now let’s not be silly. You won’t go to sleep. We don’t do that nowadays. This will just freeze the area around the tooth so that you will not feel any pain while I am pulling out the tooth. That is all. You won’t go to sleep.

M: What can I do while you are working?

W: You can watch everything I do in that mirror above you. Come along now.

M: What’s troubling you, Juliet? You look upset.

W: I’m okay, but it’s all because of my father.

M: Your father? Did he treat you badly?

W: No, he is kind to me. I just worry about his health.

M: I know your father is always a strong man. What is wrong with him?

W: He has got a bad cold, and coughs day and night.

M: Have you sent him to the doctor’s?

W: Yes, the doctor said that heavy smoking caused his illness. If he keeps on like this, he will catch colds more than now!

M: Yes, smoking is really a bad habit. It does great harm to the health. Doesn’t he know that?

W: He knows this, but he says that he would rather die than give up smoking. Whenever my mother talks about this with him, he gets angry. He just can’t control himself.

M: I know the relationship between your father and you is quite gooD. I think he will listen to you.

W: Will I try my best to advise him to give up gradually?

M: I hope you will succeed.

My Impressions of the Beijing Olympic Games

I am deeply impressed by the success of the Beijing Olympic Games. To compete in the Olympic Games becomes my dream because participating in a competition gives me a great feeling of accomplishment--I’m an Olympian.

I will always remember that Zhou Kai outshined his teammates to set records that he could never have imagined. Nor will I forget that Liu Zige smashed the world record on her way to winning Olympic gold in the women’s 200m butterfly. And I’m still excited to think of those days when Phelps rewrote quite a few Guinness world records.

These accomplishments are breathtaking. However, in reality they require an enormous amount of strength and fitness as well as determination. No pains, no gains, as a proverb says. Only when we fear no hardship can we achieve them and become real Olympians.(138 words)
