In a faraway country, there were two carpenters (木匠)who were both so good at their job that no one could tell who was better.

One day, the country's king thought of a way to 1 which one was better. He would have them compete 2 each other in a contest. The winner would become the official royal carpenter.

The king sent for the two carpenters and the contest 3. The carpenters were given three days to carve (雕刻)a 4 mouse. Whoever carved the most lifelike mouse would be the winner.

The first carpenter carved a fine mouse 5 vivid (生动的)and lifelike features. The second carpenter's mouse, 6, looked quite rough. In fact, it barely (几乎不)even looked like a mouse at all. The king and his ministers 7 that the first carpenter was the winner.

The second carpenter said, "This judgment is unfair. We should ask a 8 which mouse looks the most realistic. Cats can recognize mice much better than humans, 9."

The king thought this was a reasonable (合理的)10. He ordered his ministers to catch several cats and 11 them to judge the carpenters' mice. 12 all of the cats were more attracted to the second carpenter's mouse.

The king asked the second carpenter, "13 did you make the cats believe that your mouse looked more real?"

The carpenter said, "Your Majesty (陛下), if you look closely, you can see that I carved a mouse 14 fishbone! The cats care not about how real it 15, but how delicious it might taste."

The market is a concept(概念). If you are growing tomatoes for sale, you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbors and some to the manager of the supermarket. But in either case, you are producing for the market. If people stop buying tomatoes, you will stop producing them. If you take care of a sick person to get money, you are producing for the market. If your father is a worker or a driver or a doctor, he is producing goods or service for the market.

When you spend your income(收入), you are buying things from the market. You may spend money in shops, supermarkets, gas stations and restaurants. Still you are buying from the market. When the boss hires you to drive a truck, he is buying your labor in the market. The market may seem to be something abstract(抽象). However, it is veryconcreteto each person who is making and selling something. It is telling if nobody buys your tomatoes, it won't be long before you get the information. It's telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesn't want you to do.

Receiving messages and watching short videos on the phone are becoming more and more popular in China. It can help people get the latest information and communicate with friends. But I think more books should be read besides the textbooks, the more, the better. It can open my eyes and improve my language skills. Of course, it can also help me to get good grades. Do you know how to read more and learn more? Here are some tips for you.

◆ Clear your purpose for reading

Before reading, ask yourself why you are reading this book. Most people read for two main reasons, pleasure or knowledge. Clearing about your reading purpose can not only help you choose the books you really need to read, but also remind you why reading the book is important to you, so you will keep reading and complete the book faster.

◆ Read only what you are interested in

No matter what you are reading, it is important to enjoy what you read. Your friends may tell you the books they love, but those books might not necessarily be the ones you enjoy.

◆ Give up books that you don't enjoy

You may have chosen books that you are interested in, and they are right to your purpose. But while you are reading them, there may still be some books that you don't enjoy reading. Whenever you realize that you aren't enjoying the book you are reading, give it up. Remember reading shouldn't be a boring thing.

◆ Set a goal for your reading

It is interesting that I read the books borrowed from libraries faster than those I bought. The reason is the books I bought don't have a due date! I don't need to return those books. Having a reading goal helps you work out how much reading you need to do in a week or even a day. Before you read each book, ask yourself what time you need to complete this book by.
