bought a used airplane. Then he asked for permission (允许) to fly it across the ocean. People from the

There once lived in Greece a learned (博学的) man. He was so well-known for his wide knowledge of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn things from him.

One day a student asked him,"My dear teacher,didn"t you say you yourself have many,many more questions about things than we do? On the contrary (恰恰相反) ,we students have far more than you.

You should be careful in the giving of gifts. Never give a gift in a job interview or go to a business meeting. Gifts are usually given during special holidays or as "thank you" for special invitations. At the time of arriving, you may give your gift to the host (主人) once the introductions are made. With gift giving a few rules are in order: Be modest (适度的 ) with your gift, do not buy expensive gifts. Special food from your country or a bottle of wine are best if you do not know the host very well,but be certain that your gift will not require attention. You can usually say something like "I thought you would like this a little later" when you offer your gift. Be careful of giving wine , a bottle of wine is usually all right if you know your host drinks wine. Flowers are good but remember: roses are for personal relationships. Do not give roses. Cut flowers are nice if they are in a vase(花瓶) . A small cultural gift from your"country is usually very suitable. Make sure your gift is packaged nicely with a nice card.
