What can we learn from Cook Ding
After you watch
Task 1 Read the passage carefully.
Cook Ding and the Ox
A cook named Ding was cutting up an ox for Lord Wenhui. Every touch of his hand, every movement of his shoulder, every step of his foot, every bend of his knee, and every move of his knife were in perfect rhythm.
“This is amazing!” said Lord Wenhui.“How did you learn such remarkable skills ”
Ding put down his knife and replied, “What I care about are the principles, which go beyond mere skills. When I first began to cut up oxen, I could only see the whole animal. After three years, I no longer saw the whole ox, but learnt to look at it piece by piece. Now, I no longer see the structure of the ox with my eyes, but with my mind, my heart.
And I know just where to cut, with my knife passing through the spaces between its joints and following its natural form. I don’t even touch the complicated muscles and tendons, let alone cut through the large bones.”
“A good cook changes his knife once a year—because he cuts. An average cook changes his knife once a month—because he chops. I’ve used
this knife for 19 years, cutting up thousands of oxen, and yet it’s as sharp as new. That’s because there are spaces between the joints—quite enough for the knife to move around smoothly. When I come to a complicated part, however, I tell myself to be careful, concentrate fully on it, and slowly move the knife with the greatest subtlety, until the ox falls apart like a crumbling clod of earth. I stand there with my knife in hand and look around with satisfaction. Then I wipe the knife and put it away.”
Lord Wenhui was deeply impressed. Ding’s perseverance, concentration and devotion to his craft became legendary, and his wisdom is remembered even today.
The work of German-born scientist Albert Einstein changed the field of physics forever, and vastly expanded people’s understanding of the universe. His theory of relativity, one of the fundamental theories of modern physics, and the equation E=mc2 paved the way for the development of atomic power. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 1921.
Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

Frank Lloyd Wright was an American architect, interior designer, writer and educator whose revolutionary “organic architecture” earned him a defining role in early 20th century architectural movements. His structures were designed to be in harmony with the people who inhabited them as well as their natural surroundings. Over the course of his long and prolific career, Wright designed over 1,000 structures, 532 of which were completed, no fewer than 12 of which are among the Architectural Record’s hundred must important buildings of the century.
