A student and his teacher were walking through the forest. The student was disturbed(扰乱) by the fact that his mind was in constant unrest（不安）. He asked his teacher, “Why most people’s minds are restless, and only a few have a calm mind? What can one do to still the mind ?”

   The teacher looked at him, smiled and said, “I will tell you a story. An elephant was standing and picking leaves from a tree. A small fly came, flying and buzzing near his ear. The elephant waved it away with his long ears. Then the fly came again, and the elephant waved it away denovo”. 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(沉湎于) in it. Now that I am eating, I am completely immersed in eating. In this way I can enjoy my food and chew（咀嚼）it better. I rule and control my attention, and not the other way around."

   The student's eyes opened wide and smile rose on his 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".

Homebuyers nationwide are watching housing prices go up, up, and up. “How high can they go ?” is the common question that    46    in the city is asking. But right now, few people seem to have the answer.  “    47    interest rates（利率） stay at about 5 percent, there’s  no way of knowing,”, said a local Guangzhou economist.

“It’s crazy,” said Li Hua, who is    48    a house near the river. “In 1993, I bought my first place, a two-bedroom apartment in Haizhu district, for 100,000 yuan. My friends thought that I was overpaying and said it just wasn’t worth it. Five years later , I had to move to Shenzhen. I    49    it for 160,000 yuan, which was nice profit. Last year, while    50    friends here, I saw in the local paper that exact same    51    was for sale for 450,000 yuan!”

Li Hua says the situation is really diffcult. “Whether you decide to buy or decide not to buy, you still feel like you made the    53    decision. If you buy, you feel like you overpaid. If you don’t buy, you want to kick yourself for passing up a great    54    .”
