Mr. Read works in a hospital. He's a good doctor, but he often forgets things. People know him and don't mind it.

One morning he did an operation（手术） on an old woman. It took him three hours to finish it. He looked at his watch and found it was twelve thirty. He felt hungry and wanted to have lunch.

When he got to the lift, he remembered he didn't wash his hands. He went back to his office and put his coat on the chair. Then he washed his hands and left. However in the restaurant, he found he forgot to wear his coat. All his money was in one of the pockets. He got up and went back to the hospital. He ran to the lift but it was going to close. He put his head into it, and the doors opened. A man in the lift said, "Oh, dear sir! Why didn't you hold the doors open with your hands? It's too dangerous to do so with your head!"

"I think my hands are more important than my head. I have to do operations not with my head, but with my hands!”

Mr Smith usually left his car outside his house. One night he put it there as usual again, but when he came down the next morning to go to his office, he found that the car wasn’t there. He called the police and told them about it. They said they would try to find the car.

When Mr Smith came home from his office that evening, the car was back again in its usual place in front of his house. He was very happy and found two concert tickets and a letter on one of the seats. The letter said, “We are very sorry. We took your car because of something important. Thank you for your car.”

　　Mr Read was born in a small village which is surrounded (环绕) with high mountains. He has few pieces of fields and he can't get enough food for his family. He's often worried about it. So he works harder and harder and tries his best to get more money.

　　One afternoon Mr Read went out to look for some grass for his cows. It was very hot and he had to have a swim. Suddenly he sew something sparkling (闪闪发光) in the water. He swam there and found it was some gold in the sand. He was so happy that he hardly forgot he was in the river. He ran home and asked his son to help him to get all the gold out of the water. The next morning he sent his son to sell it in the market. But the young man was afraid to do it. He had to go to the town himself. He didn't pay any attention to the traffic lights when he crossed the street. A car hit him down and he was hurt. He was sent to hospital at once. The doctors were satisfied with the operation and said, “You'll be fully recovered in a week. We're sure you can write with your right hand when you leave hospital.”
