  When you are learning English,you find it not clever to put an English sentence,word for word,into your own language. Take the sentence "How do you do?" as an example. If you look up each word in the d 1       one at a time,what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your o 2       language.

  Language do not just have different s 3       they are different in many ways. It's i 4       to master (掌握) the rules (規(guī)則) for word order in the s 5       of English,too.

Let's see the difference b 9       the two pairs of sentences.

"She only likes apples." " Only she likes apples."

  "I've seen the film already. " "I have already seen the film."

  A friend of mine was fond of drawing horses. He drew the horses very well,but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse,that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly (肚子) or the foot of the horse,if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people's rule. They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar (奇特的) to himself;and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy to work in that way. Now the very same thing is true to literature (文學) .And the question, " How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is,you are not yet experienced (有經(jīng)驗的) enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will never ask the question,and I think that you will often begin at the tail―that is to say,you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.

   B. you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail

   C. you always asked question

   D. you do not trust to your own powers

At the age of 16,Einstein failed in several courses because he was with a group of naughty kids. One weekend morning,Einstein was about to fish with those kids,his father stopped him and said to him calmly, " Einstein,you're so fond of playing all day that you failed in the examination. I'm so worried about your future,so is your mother."

"What are you worrying about? Jack and Robert also failed,but don't they still go fishing as usual?"

"My boy,you can't think so," Looking at Einstein,his father said patiently, "There goes a story in our hometown. I hope you can listen to it carefully."

"There were two cats playing on the roof. Accidentally,one of them fell into the chimney pulling the other down as well. When the two cats climbed out of the chimney,one cat's face was polluted with the soo"煙灰) while the other's face was clean. Seeing the sootfaced cat,the clean one thought its face was dirty and ugly too,so it quickly ran to the riverside and washed it. At the same time,the sootfaced cat saw the cleanfaced one,thinking its face was also clean,so it wandered in the street without washing its face."

"Einstein,no one can be your mirror except yourself. Taking other people to be your mirror will give you a wrong idea of yourself and behave like a fool."

Hearing this,Einstein was ashamed and lay down his fishing rod and returned to his small room. Since then,Einstein often reflected on himself and kept reminding himself:I was special,so I needn't be as ordinary as others. This was why Einstein succeeded.

Different lifestyles and wishes will produce different attitudes towards life. You can consult other people's attitudes to decide your own,but you can never follow others to live in the world.

You must see yourself clearly and know what your aim is. Your future doesn't depend on how others do,but on how you are going to do yourself.

   B. To warn his son to keep away from those naughty kids.

   D. To ask his son not to listen to others' advice.
