問題詳情

VI. Reading Comprehension：5%       In an old Chinese story, there was a farmer who owned an old horse. He used it to plow his fields. One day, the horse ran away into the hills. The farmer's neighbors sympathized with him over his bad luck, but the farmer simply replied, "Bad luck? Good luck? Who knows?" A week later, the horse returned. With it came a herd of horses from the hills. This time the farmer's neighbors congratulated him on his good luck. His reply was the same, however: "Good luck? Bad luck? Who knows?"       A couple of days later, the farmer's son was trying to tame one of the wild horses. Unfortunately, he fell off its back and broke his leg. Everyone thought this very bad luck, except the farmer, of course, who made his usual response. A few weeks after that, the army marched into the village. The soldiers rounded up all the able-bodied young men they found there, and made them join up to fight in a war. But they left the farmer's son alone when they saw his broken leg. Good luck? Who knows?         Something that happens to you might seem, on the surface, to be a piece of bad luck. Yet it could turn out to be a good thing in disguise. The reverse is also true. Wise people will not just accept things as good fortune or misfortune. They will try to turn bad things into good ones, and be happy with the good things they have.
