三、阅读理解
Once a man walked to India where he had never been before. When he got there, he saw many kinds of fruits. But most of them were expensive. One day, the man saw a big basket of some very red, long fruit. He thought it must be sour and sweet.
He went up and asked, “How much per kilo ” And the shopkeeper said, “Two rupees (卢比).”
Two rupees in India is nothing. And it was the cheapest in the shop. So he bought a kilogram and started eating it. But after he ate some, his eyes watered, his mouth watered and burned, and his face became red. He even coughed while eating.
But he still ate the fruit! Some locals who were looking at him shook their heads and said, “You're crazy, man. You can't eat so much! People use it as spice (调味品). It's not fruit!” But the man said, “No, I can't stop! I can't waste my money.”
Do you think that man was stupid In fact, we sometimes do a lot of things like that. We put money, time or effort into a relationship, business or job. Over a long time it won't work, and we know things will never change in the future. But we still go on just because of the things we've put in, like the man.
So even if you've lost something, let it go and move on. That's better than keeping losing.
