At an exhibition of the world's best swordsman, the third-place fencer took the stage. A fly was released, and with an arc of his sword he cut the fly in half. The crowd cheered. Then the second-place man sliced a fly into quarters. A hush fell in anticipation of the world's greatest swordsman.
His blade came down in a mighty arc - but the insect continued on its way! The crowd was aghast. The greatest swordsman had missed his target completely, yet he continued to smile.
"Why are you so happy?" someone yelled. "You missed!"
"Ah," replied the swordsman, "you weren't watching very carefully. They fly lives, yes - but he will never be a father."

⑥ 適合初中生閱讀的英語短文
建議你買《新東方中學生》這本書,該書將娛樂與學習和做人等方版面都進行了融合,是比較適權合中學生閱讀的。 娛樂:常會收錄一下著名的電視劇話電影,當然都是外國的,在看這些的同時,又增長了學習的能力,收獲了課外知識。 學習:該書常收錄一下學習方法的篇章或者一些解題的技巧等,而且不枯燥。 做人:該書還常含有勵志的問題,及學習安排等方面,與生活相聯系,讓人感覺真實。 可能有些地方會看不懂,但可以查字典,不過該書更適合高中生瀏覽,但如果初中生的話,如果水平好一點的話,也是可以的。
