Mr Smith was ill and he went to see a doctor． The doctor asked  him to put out his tongue（舌头）， and then he said， “OK， You can put your tongue back now． There’s nothing wrong with you， but I’m afraid you have a problem． You hardly ever take exercise．”

　 “But， doctor，” Mr Smith said， “I don’t think so．”

　 “Don’t tell me what you think，” the doctor said， “I know    what you need．　I see a lot of people like you． None of them goes  any exercise． They sit in offices all day and in front of the        television in the evening． You must walk quickly for at least（至少）20 minutes a day．”

　 “I don’t want to hear any excuse（借口），” the doctor said． “You must find time for exercise． If you don’t， you will get fat and have health problems．”

　 “But I walk every day，” Mr Smith said．

　 “Oh， yes， and I know what kind of walking that is． You walk a few meters to the bus stop from your house， a few more meters from  the bus stop to your office， and a few more meters from your office  to your dining–room for lunch and back． That’s not a real walk．  I’m talking about a walk in the park or by the lake for twenty      minutes every day．”

　　“Would you please listen to me， doctor? Mr Smith said， getting a little angry with his doctor．

　　“I’m a postman，” Mr Smith went on， “and I walk for nearly（几乎）seven hours every day．”

　　For a moment the doctor was silent（沉默的）， then he said      quietly， “Put out your tongue again， will you?”

When I was 14, I decided to make some pocket money by mowing lawns (修剪草坪) in summer. I worked hard because that was my first part-time job. After working for one week, Mr Miller said that he had no money for me. Oh, dear! He wouldn’t pay for my work! That surprised me greatly. I argued with him, and then I went back home.
My parents told me not to complain about Mr Miller. He was in difficulties. Then my mother call up Mr Miller and they talked about something on the phone. A few days later, my mother asked me to return to Mr Miller’s garden, because he was too weak to look after it.
When I came back, Mr Miller said, “Sorry, I have no money, but I can do something for you.” He played CD for me. Hearing the beautiful music, I was so interested in it that I forgot the money and did the work with pleasure. At last, Mr Miller gave me a ticket to a concert.
After that, I became very interested in music. And now, I have been a popular musician. I should thank Mr Miller greatly.
