If my brother should come, give him this letter. I don’t think he could have been there as no one seems to have seen him. None is so blind as those who won’t see.

The amateur acting group eventually evolved into a theatrical company. Paul Simon writes the lyrics for most of his own songs.

Has any of the witnesses been sworn in yet? The reporter was accused of fiddling with the facts. The cellist told us his story of being taken to concerts and drawn into music as a child. He bears the stigma of a fiction monger as a thousand fantastic stories can be traced to him. The increase in price is proportional to the quality of the car.

一、Out of step
7In the United States we have become so habituated to using the car for everything that it doesn’t occur to us to unfurl our legs and see what those lower limbs can do. We have reached an age where college students expect to drive between classes, where parents will drive three blocks to pick up their children from a friend’s house, where the letter carrier takes his van up and down every driveway on a street.
8We will go through the most extraordinary contortions to save ourselves from walking. Sometimes it’s almost ludicrous. The other day I was waiting to bring home one of my children from a piano lesson when a car stopped outside a post office, and a man about my age popped out and dashed inside. He was in the post office for about three or four minutes, and then came out, got in the car and drove exactly 16 feet (I had nothing better to do, so I paced it off) to the general store next door.
二、On Becoming a Better Student
4Curiosity Such people are tremendously curious. The whole world is of interest to them, and they observe what others do not. Nobel Prize-winner physician Albert Szent-Gyorgyi put it well when he said, “Discovery consists of looking at the same thing as everyone else and thinking something different.” With this curiosity comes an “investigative spirit”; the learning is not so much the acquisition of information as it is an investigation—a questioning, a turning over of the object of study to see all sides and facets. It is not knowing in the sense of having a rigid opinion, but the ability to look again at another time, in a different light, as Szent-Gyorgyi suggests, and to form a new understanding based on that observation.
5Discipline Any discipline — but especially those with great subtlety and complexity, like yoga or t’ai chi — can be a lifelong pursuit. Persistence, consistency, and discipline are required. Without these, our learning is but forth without substance. There are no shortcuts. The fruit of these seemingly dry qualities (which we prefer to admire in others) is the satisfaction of having tasted the fullness of completion, or the thrill of meeting a difficult challenge with success. Perhaps, though, our culture is in need of redefining what it means to study. If we can look at our chosen discipline or craft as an ongoing process rather than as a discrete accomplishment, the potential for learning can be infinite. With this attitude we may find ourselves treating even the most mundane discovery with wide-eyed wonder and joy.
6Risk-Taking Why is it, then, that so few people live up to their true potential? Beyond the well-paved roads and secure structures we usually build for ourselves lie demons, unsure footing — and unfelt pleasures. To be a student is to take risks. Yet most education discourages people from venturing far enough to take risks to make mistakes. “Children enter school as question marks and leave as periods,” observes educator Neil Postman. What kind of punctuation mark do you represent? Do you find yourself looking for tidy answers that give you a feeling of security? By learning to find the one right answer, we may have relinquished our ability to find other answers and solutions. We learn, then, not to put ourselves into situations where we might fail, because failure has tremendous social stigma. When we try different approaches and do things that have no precedence in our experience, we will surely make mistakes. A creative person uses these “failure” as stepping stones.

About three years ago, my wife and I felt fed up with the hustle and bustle in the big city, so we decided to settle down in a small town, which is sedate and pleasant. We enjoy our life, for it is an easy place to go about one’s business on foot. I often walk around and when in the mood, I stop at the café for a drink or at the Continental Theater for a play. But some people seem not to understand my eccentric behavior. I prefer to walk whenever possible, which is beyond most of them, for they depend on cars too heavily. Sometimes it’s almost ludicrous that they choose to drive even if it is only a ten minutes’ walk. They may ask me if I need a ride in their cars when I’m strolling alone. However, I believe that the car is the death of legs. In this society, the majority dominates. I realize that I’m possibly the only person to entertain the notion of covering a short distance on foot and it’s why I sometimes find myself in trouble now and then. For instance, many stores have cleared the grounds right before them for shoppers to park cars, for what they care about is but commercial triumph.

The results of some surveys conducted in America show that most people tell lies to varying degrees, for various reasons. Sometimes they lie to make others happy. For example, one may pretend to be more positive of a friend or spouse than he or she really is. Sometimes they lie to promote themselves, which is getting popular. Sometimes they lie to avoid hurting others, particularly when the unvarnished truth is perhaps too hard to accept. Some people regard lies as a necessary social lubricant. Anyway, they lie to hide truth. Views on lies vary from person to person. Some people hold that falsehood, even if seemingly harmless, could have some unforeseen consequences. After the initial lie, one needs to tell more lies to cover up the first one, which may become a heavy mental burden in the end. One philosopher warns that one can put himself on a slippery slope if one lies, as his psychological barriers wear down. But some other people hold that we don’t have to avoid all white lies at all costs, for a white lie could be only an exchange of the principle of trust with the principle of caring. What is your view?
美国有调查表明，多数人出于不同的原因、在不同程度上说过谎，有时，他们说谎是为了让别人高兴。比如：装出积极的态度来肯定朋友或配偶，实际上他 / 她内心却没有如此认可。有时，他们说谎是为了提升自己。这种情况现在越来越普遍了。有时，是为了避免伤害别人，当未加粉饰的实情难以接受的时候更是如此。有人则把说谎看作一种必要的社交润滑剂。不管怎么说，说谎都是为了掩饰实情。关于说谎，不同的人有不同的观点。有些人认为，假话，即使是看上去无害的假话，也可能带来预料不到的后果。一个人说了第一个谎话之后，他就需要说更多的谎话来掩饰最初的谎话，最后会变成沉重的精神负担。一位哲学家警告说，如果一个人说谎，他就（等于）把自己置于一个溜滑的斜坡上，因为他的心理障碍减轻了。但是，另一些人则认为，我们不必不惜一切代价去避免所有善意的谎言，因为一个善意的谎言可能仅仅是用牺牲信任而去换取关心和爱护而已。对此你持什么观点呢？
At present, many people are chained and weighed down by the heavy burden of life. Nearly every day, they have a hundred and one things to attend to. Business, business, endless business. They can never drive business, but are driven by business, by endless rounds of activities of various sorts. From the minute they rise in the morning, they have charted out their day. They have booked themselves so full of prescheduled activities that there is no time for any leisurely pastimes.
Why are people so enslaved by their business? There might be several reasons. Among them are new advances in technology, which promised to set us free, but have instead bound us a great deal, for such new devices as cell phones, e-mail and laptop computers instill expectations of instantaneous action.
People should strive to gain some freedom from a dizzying timetable of duties and enjoy some flexibility in their jobs and lives. Why? Because people need to nurture their soul during idle moments and reflective pauses. People need to savor their experiences and derive happiness from peaceful retrospection of the past and pleasurable anticipation of the future, which can be achieved only in moments of relaxation.
目前,生活的重担束缚和压倒了许多人。几乎每天,他们都有无数的事情要处理。工作,工作,没完没了的工作。他们永远不能按自己的意愿去安排工作,而是被工作,被各种各样周而复始的事情驱赶着。他们早上起身时已经将一天排得满满当当。他们事先把自己的时间安排得毫无插针的间隙,根本没有休闲娱乐的时间。
人们为何为事所役呢?个中原因纷繁,其中之一是科技的新发展。科技原本让人们看到获得更多自由的可能,实际上却大大束缚了我们,因为手机、电子邮件、手提电脑这些科技新玩意催着人们立即作出回应。
人们应该尽量摆脱那张令人头昏目眩的时间表的影响,在工作和生活中获得自由度。为什么呢?因为人们需要闲暇,需要时常停下来想一想,以滋养自己的灵魂。人们需要品味人生经历,从平静地回味往昔、愉悦地展望未来中获得快乐,而这一切只能在身心松弛的时候才能做到。
