          When I was at university I studied very hard. But a lot of my friends did very little work. Some did just
enough to pass exams. Others didn't do quite enough. Fred Baines was one of them. He spent more time drinking
in the Students' Union than working in the library.
          Once, at the end of the term, we had to take an important test in chemistry. The test had a hundred
questions. Beside each question we had to write "True" or "False". While I was studying in my room the night
before the test, Fred was watching television. Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test. But on that night
he looked perfectly calm. Then he told me of his plan.
          "It's very simple. There are a hundred questions and I have to get fifty correct to pass the test. I'll take a
coin into the examination room. I haven't studied a chemistry book for months, so I'll just toss the coin. (throw
the coin into the air.) That way, I'm sure I'll get half the questions right."
          The next day, Fred came happily into the examination room. As he sat tossing a coin for half an hour he
marked down his answers. Then he left, half an hour before the rest of us.
         The next day, he saw the chemistry professor at the gate.
        "Oh good,"he said,"Have you got the results of the test?"
         The professor looked at him and smiled.
         "Ah, it's you, Baines. Just a minute."
          Then he reached into his pocket and took out a coin. He threw it into the air, caught it in his hand and
looked at it.
          "I'm terribly sorry, Baines," he said, "You failed!"

　　President (總統(tǒng)) George W Bush is visiting an elementary school today and visits one of the 4th grade classes. They are in the middle of a discussion(討論) of words and their meanings.

　　The teacher asks the President if he would like to lead the class in the discussion of the word“tragedy”. So the President asks the class for an example of a“tragedy”.

　　One little boy stands up and says,“If my best friend, who lives next door, is playing in the street and a car comes along and runs him over, that would be a tragedy.”

　　“No,”says Bush,“that would be an accident.”

　　A little girl puts up her hand,“If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff(懸崖), killing everyone in the bus, that would be a tragedy.”

　　“I am afraid not,”explains the President.“That is what we would call a GREAT LOSS(損失).”

　　The room goes quiet. No other children answer. President Bush looks around the mom.“Is not there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?”

　　At last, in the back of the room, a boy named Johnny puts up his hand. In a quiet voice he says,“If Air Force One, carrying you and Mrs Bush, was hit by a missile(導彈) and blown up to pieces, that would be a tragedy.”

　　“Right,”exclaims(大叫)Bush,“that is right, and can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?”
