A small plane had some trouble with its engine while it was in the high sky．The pilot knew that there was nothing he could do to keep the plane long in the air，so he rushed back to where his three passengers sat and explained the dangerous situation．At last he said，“ I am a married man with three children．I am sorry to tell you that there are only three parachutes aboard．” With that he took up one and jumped out．
One of the passengers reacted quickly．“I am a great man，I am the smartest man and the world can not do without me．”With that he too jumped out．
The other two passengers，an old man and a young soldier，were quiet for a moment．At last the old man said，“Son，I’m old and have lived a full life．I am ready to meet my God．”
“You will have to give up that，”the young man said，smiling，“The world’s smartest man just jumped out with my backpack．”
【小題1】There was something wrong with the plane when _________．

A primary school teacher asked her students to write a composition about what they would like God to do for them. At the end of the day, while marking the compositions, she read one that impressed her deeply. Her husband, who had just walked in, saw her crying and asked her, “What happened?”
She answered, “Read this. It is one of my students’ compositions.”
“Dear God, tonight I ask you for something very special: Make me into a television. I want to take its place and live like the TV in my house. Have my own special place, and have my family around me. To be taken seriously when I talk. I want to be the centre of attention and be heard without interruption(打斷) or questions. I want to receive the same special care that the TV receives even when it is not working. Have the company of my dad when he arrives home from work, even when he is tired. And I want my mom to want me close when she is sad and upset, instead of ignoring(不理) me. And ...I want my brothers to fight to be with me...I want to feel that my family just put everything aside, every now and then, just to spend some time with me. And last but not least, make sure that I can make them all happy and entertain them. God, I don’t ask you for much. I just want to live like our TV. ”
At that moment the husband said, “My God, poor kid, what horrible parents!” .The teacher looked up at him and said, “That composition is our son’s!”
【小題1】Why did the teacher cry?

A hare was very popular with the other animals who all said they were her friends．But one day she heard the hounds（獵犬）getting close and hoped to escape them by the aid of her many friends． So，she went to the horse，and asked him to carry her away from the hounds on his back．But he refused，because he had important work to do for his master． He felt sure that all her other friends would come to help her．

She then came to the bull，and hoped that he would repel the hounds with his horns （角）．The bull replied，"I am very sorry，but I have an appointment with a lady；but I feel sure that our friend the goat will do what you want．" The goat，however，feared that his back might do her some harm if he took her upon it．The sheep，he felt sure，was the proper friend to ask for help．

So she went to the sheep and told him the situation．The sheep replied，"Another time，my dear friend． I do not like to have anything to do with it，as hounds have been known to eat sheep as well as hares．"

The hare then went，as a last hope，to the calf （小牛），who regretted that he was unable to help her，as he did not like to take the responsibility （責任） upon himself，as so many older persons than himself had refused the task．By this time the hounds were quite near，and the hare took to her heels and luckily escaped．
