A man often traveled around and he couldn't buy the seat tickets on the train for his most tours.But he could always find a seat to sit on. His workmates asked him how he could find the seats by accident. "The method is very simple,just your patience."smiled the man. His workmates were puzzled.
One day, one of his workmates was on business with him.The train car was so crowed that they couldn't even find a place to stand on. "Let's find seats to sit on," said the man. "Find seats? Just a joke?" said his workmate."Just follow me," said the man.
They pushed their way through the crowds.The workmate wanted to give up , but the man insisted . At last,in the 7thcar they found two empty seats .They sat there happily at once. The workmate asked,"How do you know there are seats here?"The man answered ,"I didn't know it at all.But I know most of the passengers are easily cheated by one or two cars of crowed phenomena . Even though they know there are seats, they don't want to crowd among the groups.They think it's not worth doing that."
The method seemed not to be clever enough,but it works. For us, patience will let us have a "seat ticket"life forever.

A proverb is a simple saying that explains a general rule or feeling. Four people share their favorites:
Sarah /England
My favorite proverb would have to be "Don't judge a book by its' cover." I think it can be used in many daily situations. Obviously, when you meet new people, you always need to give someone a chance. So, I think that a chance is always good for someone, probably better than judging on first impressions .
Gareth / England
My favorite proverb is "Hear and I forget; see and I understand; I do and I know." I like it because it means until you actually do something, it's hard to really, truly know it. I believe that a lot of the times when you're learning by hearing, it's very difficult to get that knowledge. When you see something, it gets a little bit better, but when you do something, that's when you really truly know something.
Lindsay / United States
I really like the proverb, "The grass is always greener on the other side." I think that's really true, and I find that it's always like that. I always want what I can't have, and then when I get that, then I find out that it's not as great as I had hoped it would be. So, because of this, I try to always keep that in mind and be happy for what I have.
Warren / Canada
I think "What goes around, comes around " is what comes to mind for me. I think it is really true. Basically, if you do something good, good things will happen to you. And if you do bad things, bad things are going to happen to you, maybe not right away but after a long time.</s>Who thinks it is important to learn by doing?</s>Gareth. | Sarah., Lindsay., Warren. |
The people of ancient Egypt began their new year in summer. That is when the Nile River flooded its banks, bringing water and fertility to the land. Today, most people celebrate New Year's Day on January 1. People celebrate the New Year's holiday in many different ways.
The ancient Babylonians celebrated by forcing their king to give up his crown ( )and royal clothing. They made him get down on his knees and _ all the mistakes he had made during the past year.

Other people use New Year's resolutions to make major changes in their lives. One such resolution might be to "stop and smell the flowers." This means to take time to enjoy simple pleasures. Another resolution might be "don't sweat the small stuff." This means not to worry or get angry about unimportant problems. Another resolution might be to forget about bad things that happened in the past.</s>Which of the following is not related... to the new year of ancient Egyptians?</s>The king. | The Nile River., Summer., Water and fertility. |

I will never forget the tenth summer of childhood with my grandfather in western Norway at the mountain farm where my mother was born. As a boy ,I always thought people simply bought whatever they need. Whether Grandfather knew this, I don't know. One day he said, "Come, I have something for you."
