There once was a master who went to India. In those times, we didn't have airplanes or many kinds of transportation that we do now. So the master went to India 1  . And when he got there, he saw a lot of fruit. In India they have plenty of fruit to sell, but much of it is 2 because they can't grow much 3  the water situation. So he saw one basket, a big basket of some very red, long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop, not expensive at all.

So he 4 and asked, "How much per kilo?" And the shopkeeper said, "Two rupees."(印度货币) Two rupees in India is 5 ; it's like dirt (尘土). So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it: Oh, my God! His 6  watered, his mouth watered and burned, his eyes were burning, his head was burning and his face became 7 . As he coughed terribly , he 8  up and down, saying, "Ah! Ah! Ah!"

But he still continued to eat the fruit! Some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said, "You're crazy, man. Those are chilies（辣椒）! You can't eat so many; they're not good for you! People use them 9  a condiment（作料）, but only a little bit to put into food for taste. You can't just eat them by the handful like that; they're not 10 !" So the silly master said, "No, I can't stop! I paid money for them, 11  now I'll eat them. It's my 12 !"

And you think that master was silly, right? Similarly, we sometimes do a lot of things like that. we still continue just because we've 13  money, time, effort and love into it. Just like the man who ate the chilies and felt so bad but couldn't stop because he didn't want to waste the money he'd paid.

So 14  you've lost something, let it go and move on. That's better than continuing to 15  .

My problems started after I went to a boar ding school. I was only 14, and at first I missed my family a lot. I often called them and cried on the phone. But after two weeks, I found I enjoyed being with my classmates at school.
I had many friends who were boys. I thought of them as my best friends - but only friends. I never guessed my friendships with boys would become a problem.
Then, three months later, my friends told me that some teachers and girls said I was hanging out with boys all day long in order to get attention from them. Seven months after that, the head teacher Mr. Wang asked the class to choose some students to join the Student Union. I thought I could win for I was doing well in school. I'd already won prizes for the best math and English exams. A week later, the list came out and it didn't include me. I was sad.
Mr. Wang came to me and sai d, "Don't be sad. I know you're excellent! Maybe
you're a little distant from the girls in our class. They don't know much about you, so some of them didn't choose you. It doesn't matter. Do your best to get along well with everyone and I think you'll make it next time."
