A young dove asked the King Dove, “Your Majesty(陛下), please   3  us to take some rest.” The king replied, “Have   4, my dear young fellow. We shall   5   get something to eat very soon.”

The young dove started flapping(拍打) his wings with   6  and soon left everyone else behind. After some time, he   7  and spoke to others, “Hey, I see lots of   8 down there.”

Hearing this, all the doves started   9  the scattered (散落的) grains under a banyan tree.   10  the King Dove said, “It is too good to be true. There is something wrong. Don’t rush towards the grains. It may be a   11 . Some hunter must have laid a trap(陷阱).”

The media has a great effect on us in our daily life. Believe it or not. I will tell you a true story of my own.

Last evening I was watching the evening news on television. The news was about a prize for scientific   1  ; I forgot what it was. The announcer, whose name was Ralph Story, said something, that caught my   2  . “All great discoveries, ”he said, “are made by people between the ages of twenty-five and thirty. ”  3   a little over thirty myself, I wanted to disagree with him.   4   wants to think that he is past the age of making any discovery. The next day I happened to be in the public library and spent several hours looking up the   5  of famous people and their discoveries. Ralph was right.

First I looked at some of the   6   discoveries. One of the earliest discoveries, the famous experiment that proved that bodies of different  7   fall at the same speed, was made by Galileo when he was 26. Madam Curie started her research that   8   to a Nobel Prize when she was 28. Einstein was 26 when he published his world changing theory of relativity. Well,   9   of that. Yet. I   10  , if those“best years”were true in other   11  . How about the field of   12  ? Surely it needed the wisdom of age make a good leader. Perhaps it   13 , but look when these people   14   their career. Winston Churchill was elected to the House of Commons at the age of 26. Abraham Lincoln  15   the life of a country lawyer and was elected to the government at what age? Twenty-six.

But why  16   the best years come after thirty? After thirty, I  17  , most people do not want to take risks or try   18   ways. Then I thought of people like Shakespeare and Picasso. The former was writing wonderful works at the ripe age of fifty, while the latter was   19   trying new ways of painting when he was ninety!

Perhaps there is still   20   for me.
