25、 Once upon a time , there was a saint(圣人). In his final years, someone asked him about teachers from whom he had learned all wisdom, so the saint told him three stories:
One day, I visited a village. It was late and no one was outside. At last, I saw a man who was trying to make a hole in a wall. I asked him if I could find a place to stay. He replied that I could stay with him if I didn’t mind staying with a thief. I stayed with him for a month. Every night, he would go out to “work.” Many times, he would come back with nothing. However, he never lost hope and said, “Tomorrow I will try again.” In the past years, there were many moments when I became so hopeless that I just wanted to give up what I was doing. And then suddenly, I would recollect the words of the thief.
There was another day when I was walking along the bank of a river. I saw a dog who was very thirsty and wanted to drink water from the river. However, he was afraid of his own image (身影)
reflected in the water. He looked into the river, barked and then ran away. He did this several times. Finally, he managed to take a drink from the river despite(尽管) his fears.
I met a little boy the other day in a small town. He was carrying a lighted candle(蜡烛) with him. I asked him , “Did you light the candle by yourself?” He said yes. I asked him again, “Then can you tell me where the light came from?” The boy laughed. He blew out the candle and asked me, “You see, I just put out the candle. Could you tell me where the light has gone?” I couldn’t answer and he told me, “It has returned to where it came from. “Since then, I have dropped all conceit(自责).
I have had no teachers, but it doesn’t mean that I have nowhere to learn the wisdom of life.

D.Because he was scared by his own image in the river

26、What’s the most popular Winter Olympics design with kids and teenagers? It must be the mascot(吉祥物). Bing Dwen Dwen, a panda in an ice shell, was chosen as the mascot for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics in 2019. Now it has been made into fluffy(毛绒绒的)toys and plastic(塑料的)models, as well as printed on notebooks, badges(徽章)and bags.
“The International Olympic Committee has found that successful mascots had to be cuddly(令人想拥抱的)and liked by 9-year-old children,” said Cao Xue, the chief(首席)designer of Bing Dwen Dwen. “And I knew Bing Dwen Dwen would be.” Cao’s team was from Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. They once made three designs, and Cao asked his 9-year-old son to choose his favorite. “At his first glance(一瞥), he chose Bing Dwen Dwen which was the final mascot,” Cao noted. According to Cao, Bing Dwen Dwen was chosen from 5,816 designs from 38 countries and regions(地区). The idea first came from the traditional Chinese snack bingtanghulu—the syrup(糖浆)coat later turned into the ice shell in his design. However a simple snack cannot stand for(代表)a country by itself. Cao’s team then tried many plants and animals, finally going with a panda. “What can better stand for China than our national treasure(宝藏)?” said Cao, “We don’t need to explain anything to have it understood across different cultures.”
They faced a problem, though, there were already too many cartoon pandas. Cao’s team looked at panda designs from around the world. They wanted to make sure their panda was different. For this reason, Cao decide it should be a baby panda. This is how they got Bing Dwen Dwen’s body shape. Its body has the same length(长度)as its head.
Bing Dwen Dwen wears a full-body “shell” made of ice. It looks like an astronaut in a space suit, showing a perfect blend(混合)of winter sports and modern technology. Bing Dwen Dwen waves(挥舞)its left hand to say hello. It has two red hearts on its palms(手掌), showing kindness and love. A series of colored floating lines around its head look like the tracks on an ice rink(冰场). They refer to “Ice Ribbon(冰丝带)”—stand for Beijing’s National Speed Skating. The colorful lines also refer to fast 5G signals.

A.A toy popular with children.
B.An adult panda.
C.A mascot for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
D.A 9-year-old toy panda.
