At present, a wide vareity of credit cards issued by major banks and shopping malls are thriving in colleges and universities acrothe nation, with a multitude of college students ma-ki-ng up a growing population of card holders. Indeed, one out of five students is estimated to be in possession of at least one credit card, and the figure is expected to be on the steady increse, the latest data published by Yangtze Evening Post suggests。

Like anything prior to the emergence of this small piece of plastic, the increasing popularity of credit card on campus has both bright and dark sides. On the one hand, young adults in college, free from the trouble of pocketing a considerable sum of cash, could enjoy the convenience of credit cards and purchase expensive goods by installments.

On the other hand, however, the irresponsible and excessive use of the cards by these youngsters, the majority of whom are fresh out of middle school incapable of budgeting their money, can make them heavily in debt which will take them years to pay off。

On my personal level, while enjoying a host of conveniences the credit card may bring, we couldn‘t afford to ignore a conspicious fact: in most cases, parents are our sole financial sources.Instead of spending without any restrict, we are supposed to put studies on the top of our agenda and move ourselves beyond heavy dependence upon our parents。

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties (420-589), there lived a beautiful, intelligent princess name Lechang in the State Chen. She and her husband Xu Deyan loved each other dearly. But before long their country was in danger of being invaded by the troops of the Sui Dynasty. Princess Lechang and Xu Deyan had a premonition that their county would be occupied by the invaders and they would have to leave the palace and go into exile. During the chaos they might lose touch with each other. They broke a bronze mirror, a symbol of the unity of husband and wife into two parts and each of them kept a half. They aGREed that each would take their half of the mirror to the fair during the Lantern Festival, which is on the 15th day of the first Lunar month, in the hope that would meet again. When they were united the two halves would join together. Soon their premonition came true. During the chaos of war, the princess lost touch with her husband was taken to a powerful minister Yang Su's house and was made his mistress.

At the Lantern Festival the next year, Xu Deyan took his half of the mirror to the fair. He hoped that he could meet his wife. It so happened that a servant was selling the other half of the bronze mirror. Xu Deyan recognized it immediately. He asked the servant about his wife. As he heard about her bitter experience, tears rolled down his cheeks. Xu Deyan wrote a poem on the half of the mirror kept by his wife: "You left me with your broken mirror Now the mirror is back but not you I can no longer see your reflection in the mirror Only the bright moon but not you" .

the servant brought back the inscribed half of the mirror to princess Lechang. For days, she could not help sobbing because she knew her husband was still alive and that he missed her but they could not meet forever.

the minister, Yang Su, found this out. He was also moved by their true love and realized it was impossible to get Lechang's love. So he sent for Xu Deyan and allowed the husband and wife to reunite.

From that story comes the idiom "A broken mirror joined together".

It is used to suggest the happy reunion of a separated couple.

Skill comes from practice

During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a skilled archer. One day he drew a big crowd while he was practicing on the drill ground. He shot so accurately that the on-lookers cheered with excitement. He became very proud of his skill. But among the crowd an old oil peddler only nodded his head indifferently. This hurt his Pride.

“Can you do this?” he asked the old oil peddler. “No, I can’t.”

“What do you think of my skill?”

“Just OK, but nothing special. You’ve gained your accuracy from persistent practice. That’s all.”

“What can you do, then?” the old man said nothing. He put a gourd bottle on the ground and covered its mouth with a copper coin. He then scooped out a ladle of oil from his big jar, held it high and began to fill the bottle.

Now, a thread of oil came down from the ladle into the bottle just through the hole of the coin. Everybody looking on watched with amazement. But the old man said, “This is nothing special, I can do this because I have practiced it a lot.” And with these words, he left.

Later, people use this phrase to mean “Practice makes perfect”.

北宋时期，有个技艺高超的射手。有一天，他在训练场上练习射箭，引来了一大群人观看，大家都称赞他的技艺，他感到非常骄傲。但他发现人群中有个卖油翁只是淡淡的点点头，这使得他很不高兴。

他就问那老头：“你会射箭吗?”

“不会。”

“你认为我的技术如何?”

“一般。没什么特别的，你只能对付固定的东西，仅此而已。”

“你会干什么?”

这个老头没有回答。他把一个葫芦放在地上，接着把一枚铜钱放在瓶口。然后从他的大油壶里舀起一勺油。

从高处往放在地上的葫芦里倒。只见那油就像线一样从铜钱中间的小洞里滴下去，一滴都没有漏出来。围观者都惊呆了。而这个卖油翁却说：“其实没什么大不了的，只不过是天天练的结果。”说完，他就离开了。

后来，人们用“熟能生巧”这个成语来表示熟练了就能作得好。

often thinks of me， too。 Today is Sunday。 It is fine day。 I go to see him again。

After I leave the zoo， he follows me to my house。 I give him lettuce， cabbages，

bananas， apples and other food。 He eats them up。 When I sing songs， he stays in

the pool。 He is as quite as a rabbit。

我与河马

河马住在动物园里，我很喜欢他。他经常去看它，他也经常想我。

这天是星期日，是个好天气，我又一次去看望它。在我离开动物园之后，他跟随到我的家。我给他莴苣、生菜、香蕉、苹果和其他食物。他都吃了。

当我唱歌是，它待在水池里，像兔子一样安静。 晚上，他跳到床上同我睡觉在一齐睡。

A famous doctor once attended a little boy who was dangerously ill. Thanks to his skill and care this young patient recovered， and was soon able to get up and run about again. The child's mother was very grateful， and she called on the doctor to thank him for what he had done for her son.

“Doctor，”she said.“You have saved my little boy's life. I do not know how to thank you enough. I feel that money alone cannot repay you， so I have made this little purse with my own hands， as a sign of my gratitude. I hope you will accept it.”

The doctor drew himself up and said coldly，“Madam， little presents like that are very nice between friends， but a doctor needs to be paid properly for his attentions.”

The lady was too surprised and hurt to reply for a moment. Then she said quietly，“Perhaps you will tell me what your fee is， doctor？”

“Fifty pounds，”he answered.

The lady opened the little purse that she had made and took out four fifty-pound bank notes. She handed one of them to the doctor， and put the other three back into the purse. She put the purse into her handbag， and saying good morning to the doctor， she went out of the room.

No Pains, No Gains

The proverb “No pains, no gains” means that you have to make great efforts

if you want to achieve success, for nothing but poverty can be obtained without

effort.

In history, there have been many famous people of great achievements. You

may claim that they are geniuses. But behind their successes, they have made

great efforts in carrying out their tasks. Einstein said “Genius is one percent

of inspiration and ninety-nine percent of perspiration.” He had been working

hard for many years before he finally worked out his theory of relativity.

Thomas Edison experienced countless failures before he finally invented the

electric bulb. Wang Junxia was able to win the world championship of long

distance race only because she had many years of hard training. Therefore,

diligence is the key to success. Doubtless hard work promises fruitful result.

Everyone is awarded the right to work hard in order to reach his goal.

Apparently, diligence is necessary to success. Happiness is nearly always a

reward for hard work.

On the other hand, idleness is believed to be the root of all evil. Anyone

who habitually likes idling but desires everything is daydreaming. We should be

aware that if we dream away our precious time, when we wake up, it may be too

late for us to achieve anything. So, as college students, we should never stop

working hard so that we will remain successful in the future competitions.

“The air in the box must be close ，”the man said to himself .“I’d better let the cock walk outside for a while ，or it’ll die .”

So he put the cock to the ground .When he started again ，he couldn’t catch it any longer .

“How foolish you are !”Mr Smith called out angrily .“You can herald the break of day at night but you cann’t find the way to the town in the daytime !”

But the teacher cried

The six-year-old John was terribly spoiled . His father knew it, but his grandma doted on him. He hardly left her side. And when he wanted anything, he either cried or threw a temper tantrum. Then came his first day of school, his first day away from his grandmother's loving arms.

When he came home from school his grandma met him at the door.

"Was school all right?" she asked, "Did you get along all right? did you cry?"

"Cry?" John asked. "No, I didn't cry, but the teacher did!"
