During the Warring States Period (475-221 BC), King Zhao of the State of Yan (燕昭王) wanted to gather talented people to make the state strong. He asked the scholar (有学问的人) Guo Wei for advice. Guo told the king a story.
In ancient times, there was a king who wanted a special kind of horse. This horse could run 1,000 li a day. It was called qianlima. He sent many people to find these horses and buy them for him. After three years, nobody found him such a horse.
One day, someone new volunteered to help. Within three months, he heard about a qianlima. He rushed to find it, but the horse was already dead. Still, he bought the bones of the horse with 500 pieces of gold.
The king was very angry. “What I want is a live horse, not the bones of a dead horse!”
This shows people you truly wish to buy the horses. Just wait and the horses you want will come very soon. The man answered calmly, “Imagine this. You’re willing to pay a high price for a dead horse, let alone a live one.
Indeed, within a year, many qianlima owners brought their horses to the king.
Guo told the king that he could see himself as the bones of the horse. “If I am valued, more talent will be willing to serve the state,” he said. The king built houses for Guo and treated him as a teacher. Soon, talented people across the state came to help the king. His state finally beat the State of Qi.

When students get bored with the boring hours of theory (理论) classes, the practical classes bring relaxation to them. The laboratory is the place where students actually get hands-on experience about the lessons they have learned. High school students are allowed to perform the basic experiments of different branches of science, mainly physics, chemistry and biology. However, lab safety is of great importance. Lab safety rules are mainly about personal safety and proper handling of instruments to avoid accidents inside the lab.
Middle school is the first chance for students to work in a science lab. Lab experiments should be carried out quite carefully. And the students are always told to follow the guidelines to make sure of lab safety. Therefore, first of all, you must be careful of your personal safety. So you should be dressed in a full-sleeved apron (围裙) while performing experiments. Gloves, safety glasses and caps are also important things required for personal safety. Since you are dealing with the instruments or the chemicals for the first time, you might be curious to try something new. But such activities often lead to lab dangers. So, avoid any form of carelessness. Besides, you have to carefully listen to your teachers in order to start the experiment in the correct process and get exact results.
There are different types of instruments inside a science lab. Physics labs are filled with different electrical instruments, which need safe operation. So you need to perform the experiments under the supervision (监督) of your teacher, until you are good at them. Similarly, handle the chemicals according to the guidance of the lab assistant. Do not try to mix the chemicals as you please. It might lead to dangerous explosions (爆炸). Also, you should always keep a biology lab clean to avoid pollution.
You are new to the lab and therefore, it is your duty to learn about the lab completely. This includes a complete knowledge of placement of the lab equipment. You should learn about the correct operation technique of expensive instruments. Turn off the gas as soon as you have finished your experiments. You also should learn about where the fire extinguisher (灭火器) is and the working of fire safety instruments.
All students should follow the rules for your safety and perform the experiments carefully.
