Handan, the capital of Zhao, was in danger. Prince Pingyuan of Zhao decided to seek help from the state of Chu. He wanted to pick 20 talented persons to go with him. However, among his followers, he could only find 19 1 were good enough. Then, a 2 man named Mao Sui recommended himself.
Prince Pingyuan looked at him 3 doubt, "How long have you been here?" Mao Sui answered, "Three years."
Prince Pingyuan said, "I hear that 4 person with talent is like an awl(锥子) in a cloth bag. 5 sharp point will soon pierce through the bag. You've been here for a long time, but I haven't see any of your achievements. Maybe you are not as 6 as others?
Mao Sui answered slowly 7 confidently, "What I'm asking you now is to put me into that bag. If you do that, I would piece through it. But not only the point-the whole awl."
After 8 Mao Sui's words, Prince Pingyuan was impressed. He allowed Mao Sui 9 his team. As they arrived in Chu, Prince Pingyuan talked with the king of Chu. However, the king didn't want to offer help. 10 of the 19 men could find a way to solve the problem. At this point, Mao Sui walked to the king of Chu with a sword in hand. The king was shocked. Very 11 , Mao Sui explained the importance of the alliance (联盟) between Chu and Zhao. Finally, the king agreed to help Zhao 12 against Qin. Then, troops 13 to Zhao.
With Chu's help, Zhao survived and Mao Sui became a hero of Zhao.
Actually, in our daily life, we 14 catch the chances and realize our value, like Mao Sui 15 .
Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? You can't think of anyone else when you hear people read Confucius'(孔子)2,500-year-old words, "All study but no thinking makes people puzzled and all thinking but no study makes people lazy."
Tuesday was Confucius' birthday. He was born on September 28, 551BC in the Kingdom of Lu(鲁国), in today's Shandong Province. Chinese look upon Confucius as the greatest thinker and also the greatest educator. He had about 3,000 students. For more than 2,000 years, Confucius' ideas have been around in people's everyday lives. Now they have gone far into Western countries and south Asia. People can still hear them today.
Why are his ideas so popular? They help not only in everyday life but also in society. Confucius' most important ideas are kindness and good behaviors. Confucius said young people should take care of the old. People should give up thinking of themselves and work for others. As a great teacher, Confucius said that all should go to school if they wanted to learn.
Some of Confucius' popular words are "A kind person should care for others" and "Be strict with yourself, but be kind to others". People use his ideas to help themselves and society. Now, more than 100 Internet websites are teaching people about Confucius and his ideas.
"Kindness and honesty are the best values of the world today," said 79-year-old professor Kong Fanjin who is studying Confucius.

Zheng He, the Columbus of the East, was an amazing man.
He was born in 1371, and 11 years later, was caught by the army of a rich young man called Zhu Di and made to work for him. Over time the rich man saw that Zheng He was very clever and strong and they become close friends. In 1403 Zhu Di was made the King of China and he asked Zheng He to join his new government.
The King wanted to learn more about the world and show other countries his power. He ordered many new ships to be built and made Zheng He their leader. Between 1405 and 1433, Zheng He led seven sea trips to different parts of the world. He certainly travelled to India, Africa and the Middle East. A few people think his ships may have even reached South America and Australia.
Each trip lasted between two and four years and it is believed he sailed more than 50,000 kms during the years of his travels. With 28,000 men and over 300 ships, such as boats for food, water and even soldiers' horses, Zheng He led a fleet (舰队) whose size would not be equaled by Europeans for over 500 years!
On these trips he brought with him many Chinese goods (商品) like silk and medicine to give to foreign kings or to sell for local goods. He returned from each trip with boats filled with expensive things such as gold and jewelry, foreign guests and strange animals.
It is a pity that we may never learn everything about Zheng He's travels. After he died in 1433, the new king, who believed these trips were unlucky and too expensive, had them stopped and he burned almost all the books about ZhengHe's travels. It is only in the last 50 years that historians have begun to carefully study the adventures of the great Zheng He.

At _end of the letter, he said, "I will give myself to the people and the country until the last day of my life comes."
The war between Shu and Wei lasted for a long time. Finally, Zhuge Liang became sick and died.

B: Why is Turing? Could you tell me more about him?
A: Turing was born in London, in 1912. As a , he already showed his outstanding mathematical and scientific understanding. At the age of 15, he had mastered Einstein's theory.
