The elephant and the fly
A disciple（信徒），who was disturbed by the fact that his mind was in constant unrest，asked his teacher，"Why are most people's minds restless？What can one do to still the mind？"The teacher looked at the disciple，smiled and told him a story：
 An elephant was standing and picking leaves from a tree．A small fly came，flying and buzzing（嗡嗡叫） near his ear．The elephant waved it away with his long ears．Then the fly came again，and the elephant waved it away once more．
This was repeated several times．Then the elephant asked the fly，"Why are you so restless and noisy？Why can't you stay for a while in one place？"
The fly answered，"I am attracted to whatever I see，hear or smell．My five senses pull me constantly in all directions and I cannot resist them．What is your secret？How can you stay so calm and still？"
The elephant stopped eating and said，"My five senses do not rule my attention．Whatever I do，I get immersed in it．Now that I am eating，I am completely absorbed in eating．In this way I can enjoy my food and chew it better．I rule and control my attention，and not the other way around．"
Upon hearing these words，a smile appeared on the disciple's face，"I understand!If my five senses are in control of my mind and attention，then my mind is in constant unrest．If I am in charge of my five senses and attention，then my mind becomes calm．"

14．阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文．
Education does Count（excerpt）-Bill Gates
Hundreds of students send me e-mail each year asking for advice about education．They want to know what to study，or whether it's OK to drop out of college since that's what I did．
My basic advice is simple and heartfelt．"Get the best education you can．Take advantage of high school and college．Learn how to learn．"
It's true that I dropped out of college to start Microsoft，but I was at Harvard for three years before dropping out-and I'd love to have the time to go back．As I've said before，nobody should drop out of college unless they believe they face the opportunity of a lifetime．And even then they should reconsider．
In my company's early years，we had a bright part-time programmer who threatened to drop out of high school to work full-time．We told him no．
Quite a few of out people didn't finish college，but we discourage dropping out．
Having a diploma certainly helps somebody who is looking to us for a job．
There's not a perfect correlation between attitudes in high school and success in later life，of course．But it's a real mistake not to take the opportunity to learn a huge range of subjects，to learn to work with people in high school，and to get the grades that will help you get into a good college．
