　　Our village carpenter (木匠), John Hill, came one day and made a dining table for my wife. He made it just the right size to fill the space between the two windows. When I got home that evening, John was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill for the work.

　　My wife said to me quietly, “That is his ninth cup of tea today.” But she said, in a loud voice, “It's beautiful table, dear, isn't it?”

　　“I'll decide about that when I see the bill.” I said.

　　John laughed and gave me his bill for the work. I read:

　　One dinning table 10 November 1989

　　Cost (成本) of wood $ 17.00 Paint (油漆) $ 1.50

　　Work, 8 hours ($ 1 an hour) $ 8∶00 Total (合计) $ 36.50.

　　When I was looking at the bill, John said, “It's been a fine day, hasn't it? Quite sunny.”

　　“Yes,” I said, “I'm very glad it's only the 10th of November.”

　　“Me, too,” said John. “You waitit'll be a lot colder by the end of the month.”

　　“Yes. Colderand more expensive! Dining tables will be $ 20 more expensive on Nov. 30th, won't they, John?”

　　John looked hard at me for half a minute, was there a little smile in his two blue eyes. I gave his bill back to him.

　　“If it isn't too much trouble, John,” I said, “please add it up (加起来) again. You can forget the date ….”

Is it bad for your health? A short time ago, a test was given in the USA． People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kind of breakfast, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfast.

　　The results show that if a person eats a fight breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he or she will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.
