     When Boris left school, he could not find a job. He tried hard and pestered (纠缠) his relatives,
but they had problems of their own. He answered advertisements until he could not afford to buy
any more stamps. Boris grew annoyed, then depressed, then a little hardened. Still he went on trying
and still he failed. He began to think that he had no future at all.
     "Why don"t you start your own business?" one of his uncles told him. "The world is a money-locker.
You"d better find a way of opening it."
     "But what can I do?"
     "Get out and have a look round." advised his uncle in a vague sort of way. "See what people want;
then give it to them, and they will pay for it."
      Boris began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of a waste ground in the end.
Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer. He worked hard, made friends with his customers
and gradually managed to build up his goodwill and profit. A few months later, he found that he had
more work than he could deal with by himself. He found a number of empty shops but they were all
no good: in the wrong position, too expensive or with some other snag(障碍). But at long last, he
managed to find an empty shop on a new estate where there were plenty of customers but no
competition.

surely the profits increased and the business developed. At last, Boris had managed to open the

   Three blondes (金发碧眼的女人) were being trained to become detectives by a policeman. To
test their skills in recognizing a suspect ( 嫌疑犯 ), the policeman showed the first blonde a picture
for five seconds and then asked how she could recognize him. She thought it easy, for the suspect
had only one eye. The policeman felt disappointed at this funny answer. He showed the second lady
the picture for five seconds and asked her how she would recognize him. The second blonde giggled,
flipped  her hair, and  said, "Ha!  It"s easy to find the one-eared person!" Her answer also made the
policeman angry. Turning to the third lady, he asked, "This is your suspect, and how would you recognize
him?" He added quickly, "Think hard before giving a stupid answer." The third blonde looked at the picture carefully for a moment and said, "HMMMM ... the suspect is wearing contact lenses (隐形眼镜)." The
policeman was surprised and speechless, because he really didn"t know himself if the suspect wore contacts or not. "Well, that is a good answer. Wait here for a few minutes while I check his file." He left the room and went to his office, checked the suspect"s file in his computer and returned with a beaming smile.
"Wow! I can"t believe it ... it"s TRUE! The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses. Good work! How
were you able to make such a wise observation?" "That"s easy," the blonde replied, "he can"t wear glasses because he only has one eye and one ear!"

     Edmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200years ago. He studied the observations of
comets which other scientists had made. The orbit of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.
     However, Halley had a friend named Isaac Newton. Who was a brilliant mathematician. Newton
thought he had already which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an
ellipse.    
     Now Halley set to work. He figured out the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by
scientist. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607 and
1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart.
     This seemed very strange to Halley. Three different comets followed the same orbit. The more Halley
thought about it, the more he thought that there had not been three different comets, as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come
back again. It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction of what would
happen in the future. He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to
go before Halley"s prediction could be tested. In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see
it, for he had died some years before. Ever since then that comet been called Halley"s comet, in his honor.
