Unit 4-Section A-2随堂检测
课外趣读
Once a man went to India. In those times, we didn’t have planes or many other kinds of modern transportation as now. So the man went to India on foot. And when he got there, he saw a lot of fruit. In India they have plenty of fruit to sell, but much of it is expensive. He saw a big basket of very red，long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop.
So he went up and asked, “How much is it a kilo ” And the shopkeeper said, “Two rupees(卢比）.” So he bought a whole kilo of the fruit and started eating it.
He ate some of it. Oh, my God! His eyes watered，his mouth watered； his eyes were burning(燃 烧），his head was burning； and his face became red. As he coughed, he jumped up and down, saying, “Ah! Ah! Ah!”
But he still kept eating the fruit! Some people looking at him and said, “You’re crazy, man. Those are chilies! People use them only a little bit to put into food for taste. You can’t just eat them by the handful like that, they’re not fruit!”
But the foolish man said, “No，I can’t stop! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them. It’s my money!”
What do you think of him We sometimes do a lot of things like that. We still continue just because we’ve put money, time and love into it. Just like the man, he ate the chilies and felt so bad but couldn’t stop because he didn’t want to waste the money he had paid.
So even if you’ve lost something, let it go and move on. That’s better than continuing to lose.
