Is the Servant Clever or Foolish?

This is an old story. It was first told long ago. A rich man wanted to make a journey to another town. He was a businessman. He wanted to take things to sell. He also wanted to take some gold to buy some things. He decided to take ten servants with him. They would carry the things to sell and the food to eat on the journey.

He was a kind man. He said to one of his servants, “You are the smallest, the thinnest and the weakest of all my servants. You can not carry a heavy load. You may choose the lightest load to carry.”

The servant thanked his master. He pointed to the biggest load. This was bread for them to eat on the journey.

“You are foolish,” said his master. “That is the biggest and heaviest load.” But the servant lifted up the load cheerfully and the journey began. They walked for four hours. Then they stopped for a rest. They all ate some of the bread. Then there was less bread for the servant to carry. The servants load grew smaller and lighter every day. At the end of the journey, the smallest servant had nothing to carry.

Memory

A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child, and some children—like boys and girls who live abroad with their parents—seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In school it is not easy to learn a second language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.

A mans mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photos not only of what we see but of what we feel, hear, smell and taste. When we take a real photo with a camera, there is much to do before the photo is finished and ready to show to our friends. In the same way there is much work to be done before we can keep a picture forever in our mind.

Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.

1. We usually begin to learn a language by ____ it first.

A. speaking B. seeing C. hearing D. feeling

2. If you have a good ____, youll have less difficulty in learning

something.

A. photo B. picture C. memory D. camera

3. The children who live abroad with their parents can learn two

languages more easily, because ____.

A. they are very clever

B. they have good teachers

C. they have more chances to use these languages

D. they have a better life

4. We know that ones mind ____ a camera.

A. likes B. is liked C. will like D. is like

5. A camera takes photos of what can be ____.

A. seen B. felt C. heard D. smelt
