Omar Chajam is a wise old man who lives in a small town. One day when he was walking down the street, he met a man who was always jealous (嫉妒的) of him. The man came up and began saying something bad to Chajam,“You are a drinker! You are a thief! You are an idiot!”
Chajam didn’t care. He just smiled and walked on.
Another man dressed very well saw this. He didn’t understand and asked Chajam,“How can you bear such offences (冒犯)? Don’t you feel hurt?”
Chajam smiled again and said,“Come with me. I’ll show you something.”
The man followed Chajam to a dusty (落满灰尘的) room. Chajam lighted the candles and began searching through a pile of old clothes. Then he found a completely worthless robe (长袍). He threw it to the man and said,“Try it, it will suit you.”

The big red American car was much too wide for an English country road. When Jack saw it coming toward him, he stopped his own car at the side of the road to make room for it to pass. The American car went slowly past, so close that he could see the driver’s face quite clearly.
“Where have I seen that face before?” he thought. “Wait a minute! I remember now. It was in the newspaper!” He took out the newspaper from his bag, turned quickly to the middle page. There was a picture of his face in it. Yes, it had a large mouth and small ears, and his eyes were behind dark glasses.
