Two men were sitting together in a plane. They were on a long journey. One of the men was a businessman. The other was a farmer. They sat without talking for a while then the farmer said, “Let's do something to pass the time.” “What do you want to do?” “We can ask each other riddles (谜语),” the farmer said, “You start” “Let's make the rules first,” the businessman said, “And Let's make the game more interesting. Let's play it for money. If we don't know the answer to a riddle, we have to pay a dollar.”

The farmer thought about this for a while, then he said, “That's not fair (公平). You know more things than I do. I am just a farmer.” “That's true.” The businessman said, “What do you think we should do?”“ If you don't know the answer to a riddle, you pay me $100. If I don't know the answer to a riddle, I'll pay you $50,”the farmer said. “The businessman thought about this, then he said,” “OK, that's fair. Who will go first?” “I will” the farmer said, “Here is my riddle. What has three legs when it walks, but only two legs when it flies?” The businessman repeated (重复) the riddle, “What has three legs when it walks, but only two legs when it flies? Mm, that's a good one. I'm afraid I don't know the answer.”

He gave the farmer $100, and then said, “Tell me the answer, what has three legs when it walks, but only two legs when it flies?” “I don't know” the farmer said, and gave him $50.

Never try to work when you are very hungry. If you want to do your homework right after school, you may want to eat something before getting to work. Always do your homework before you get too tire. Don’t wait until very late in the evening, or the assignment will seem much harder than it really is.

Organize(安排) your time into a few parts if you have more than an hour’s work, give yourself a break after an hour. On the other hand, don’t break it up so much that you can’t get anything done. You should be able to work at least half an hour at a time without stopping.

Don’t put it off until the last minute. If you put off doing your homework, you will have it on your mind, and you won’t enjoy your free time so much. If you put it off until the end of the week or until right before a test, you will have too much catching up to do. A little bit each night, enough to keep up with what is happening each day in school, will take the fear at tests and keep you on top of it all.

Do your homework at the same time every day. This will help you make it a habit—part of your daily work. It will make it easier to do, and it will make your free time more enjoyable as well.
