Long ago there was a poor farmer in Russia. He had been very       with everything he had. However, when he found his elder brother was        than him, he felt disappointed. So he       hard about how he could also be richer. Finally he got an idea. He started to spend less money on food and clothes to       some money to buy more land. Once he had enough money, he started       for land.
He       that on the neighboring land, there were some nomads (游牧民) living there. He bought some gifts and went to      their head. He presented the gifts to the head and told him the       of his visit. The head welcomed him, accepted the gifts and agreed to his       to get the land. The head told him that he could have the land       giving him anything. He can take as much land as he could       by walking through the land before sunset (日落). He should start in the morning and whatever distance he could travel during the      , he could have it.
The farmer became very       when he heard this offer. Now he could have lots of       without paying anything. He came       the next morning and started running, not walking,       he could cover the largest area. To reach his goal, he neither ate food, nor drank water, nor had any rest. He just continued      . Without eating, or drinking, or resting he just got very      . When he came back to the head in the evening, he       right on the spot. Sadly his son buried him in a piece of land about 6 x 4 feet.
Don’t be greedy (貪婪的) or you will       everything finally.

Years ago, I worked at the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus. One day, as I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped,        by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. It was        that they could, at any time, break free,       strangely enough, they didn’t. I asked a trainer the       for this.
He said, “When they were very young we used the       size rope, and it was enough to hold them. As they grow up, they believe the rope can       hold them, so they never try.”
Like the elephants, how many of you believe you cannot do a thing, simply because you       once before? Do you often tell       “I cannot dance” or “I’m not good at math”?
These are       of self limiting beliefs. You must realize you’re       for them. A limiting belief that says you’re poor at math may have       as a reaction to the embarrassing experiences related to math, or the remarks made by someone important to you which       you. The cool thing is that because you create the       you can choose to change it! Here is how:
First,       it with “I am good at math”. Once you change your      , your subconsciousness will make this      by driving you to act. That might be to take a math course or to go online       help, etc. Gradually you’ll really see your math skills are      .
This is such a simple process that you can       it today. Don’t be like the poor elephant and make your life       at a place because of a limiting belief you developed years ago.

John von Neumann was the oldest of 3 children of an banker, and his speed of learning new ideas and solving problems stood out early. At 17, his father tired to persuade him not to become a mathematician because he may lead a poor life being a mathematician, and so von Neumann agreed to study chemistry as well. In 1926, at 23, he received a degree in chemical engineering and a Ph.D. in mathematics. From then on, mathematics provided well enough for him, and he never had to turn to chemistry.
In 1930, von Neumann visited Princeton University for a year and then became a professor there. His first book was published in 1932. In 1933, the Institute for Advanced Study was formed, and he became one of the 6 full-time people in the School of Mathematics（Einstein was one of the others）
World War Ⅱ hugely changed von Neumann's areas of interest. Until 1940 he had been a great pure mathematician. During and after the war, he became one of the best mathematicians who put mathematics theories into practice. During the last part of the war he became interested in computing machines and made several fundamental contributions After the war, von Neumann continued his work with computers, and was generally very active in government service. He received many awards, was president of the American Mathematical Society and was a member of the Atomic Energy Commission. He died in 1957 of cancer.
Von Neumann made several great contributions and any one of them would have been enough to earn him a firm place in history. He will be remembered as one of the greatest minds of the 20th century.
Von Neumann really was a legend in his own time, and there are a number of stories about him. His driving ability is a part of his legend. He reported one accident this Way: "I was driving down the road. The trees on the right were passing me in an orderly fashion at 60 miles per hour. Suddenly one of them stepped in my path."

A woman was waiting at an airport one night, with several long hours before her flight. She bought a book and a bag of cookies in the airport shop, and found a place to drop.
She was interested in her book, but the man sitting beside her grabbed a cookie or two from the bag in between, which she tried to ignore to avoid an argument.
So she ate the cookies noisily and watched the clock, as the cookie thief diminished (使……變少) her stock. She was getting angrier as the minutes passed, thinking,“Oh, brother, if I wasn’t so nice, I would blacken your eyes.”
With each cookie she took, he took one, too. When only one was left, she wondered what he would do. With a smile on his face, he took the last cookie and broke it in half. He offered her half, and he ate the other. She got it from him and thought, “ This guy has some nerve (膽量) and he’s also rude. Why didn’t he even show any gratitude?”
She had never known when she had been so angry. She gathered her bag and headed for the gate, refusing to look back at the thieving ingrate (忘恩負(fù)義者).
She boarded the plane and then she sought her book, which was almost complete. As she reached in her bag, she was shocked— there was her bag of cookies. “If mine are here,” she thought, “the others were his. It’s too late to apologize.”

A．She didn’t want to get into an argument.
