Passage  1

A daughter was complaining to her father. She was not satisfied with her life. Her father took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots   1   water and put them on the fire. In the first pot he put carrots, in the second pot he put eggs, and in the last pot he put coffee beans. Then he let them boil without saying a word. The daughter   2   kept silent and waited. Twenty minutes later, he put the carrots, the eggs and the coffee beans in bowls.

“My dear, what do you see?” He said.

“Carrots, eggs and coffee beans.” She replied.

He brought her   3   closer and asked her to feel the carrots, break the eggs and taste the coffee beans. “What does it mean, dad?” she asked. He explained that each of them faced the same trouble—boiling water,   4   not the same result. The carrots went soft, the eggs became hard, and the coffee beans changed the water. “Which are you?” he asked his daughter. “When trouble knocks on your door, which   5   will you be? As you can see, choosing wisely or not will make all the differences.”

The girl thought for a while and replied, “I see! Dad.”

However, government officials at that time did not agree with Zu. The great mathematician never saw his calendar put into use. After his death, his son Zu Gengzhi kept on using facts to show that the Daming Calendar was more correct. Almost ten years after his death, the new calendar was finally accepted.

Zu was also an inventor. He once made a vehicle that carried a pointer. No matter how the vehicle turned, the pointer always pointed to the south. Zu also invented the 1,000-li Boat. The boat could travel about 100 li (50 kilometers) in a day.
