And each stroke(笔画) in a character had to be written in a certain order. Poetry was also an important form of art. Great poets were famous all over the country, but all educated people were expected to write poetry.

It has not always been easy to know the time. A long time ago, people looked at the sun to tell the time. They could tell the time of day by looking at the sun in the sky: morning, noon or afternoon. Around the year 1400, people began to use the hourglass(沙漏). It was made of glass with some sand in it. It was wide at both ends, but narrow in the middle. The sand ran from one end to the other in one hour. At the end of every hour, people turned the glass over and began again. Hundreds of years later a machine called clock was invented. After that, people made small clocks, so that they could carry them in their pockets. Then during World War I, men started wearing their watches on their wrists. It was easier to tell the time.

When I finally reached the station, the toll station worker told me that the person in front had paid for me and I was free to go. I was so shocked. I didn't need to save the 5 dollars. I would never know who he was. I was tired by the heavy traffic and the long line, and that behavior was surprising and unbelievable, which really touched my heart. So I decided to pay for the next car waiting in line. The first time I tried to pay forward the toll,I kept looking into my rear view mirror(后视镜) to see who I'd be paying for. In the mirror,I saw a tired looking taxi driver. And I felt satisfied that my money would be going to a good place. But before we got to the toll station, the taxi driver had suddenly changed his way and now there was someone else behind me. She looked upset and was gesturing(举止) angrily in a conversation with her friend. I wasn't willing to be paying for a woman like that and was certainly judging her by what I was seeing in the mirror. Anyway,I paid the toll for both of us and left. Thirty seconds later I was surprised to hear a honk(鸣笛声). It was the woman and her friend waving at me from the other way! She looked cheerful and happy. She wasn't what I thought she was like. This was a valuable lesson that I shouldn't judge people so quickly... After all,I don't know their stories. ( )13.

Indeed, it's a fairy tale about a guy named Sam that wants another guy to eat green eggs and ham. The guy doesn't want to try them because he doesn't like them. The story is all about trying new things. It helps you keep an open mind. I think it's very important to keep an open mind in life because it helps us to look at the world in a different way. It opens us up to more possibilities in life. I ever did a survey among my students. Many students tell me this is boring, or that is boring. When I ask about studying English, they say it's boring. When I ask about the Spring Festival, they say it's boring. If you feel everything is boring, you are not trying new things. You' re not exercising your mind. The mind is like a muscle that must be exercised to grow and develop. Trying new things is a great way to do it. Doing special, personal, different, and interesting things is a good way to exercise the mind and develop new ways of thinking about the world around us. So please try something new very often even if it is something small like going to work in a new way, or trying a new kind of food. Let's make our life exciting! 41.
