12．　　Lao-tzu was traveling with his disciples (弟子). They came to a forest where hundreds of woodcutters were cutting the trees. The whole forest had been cut except for one (1)       tree. Even 10,000 people could stay in its shade.
　　Lao-tzu told his disciples to go and ask (2)       this tree had not been cut. They went and asked the woodcutters. And they said, "You can't make (3)       out of it because every branch has so many knots in it — nothing straight. You can't use it to cook because the (4)       is dangerous to the eyes. As you can see, this tree is really useless."
　　The disciples came back and told Lao-tzu. He laughed and said, "Be like this tree. If you are useful, you will be cut and may become furniture in somebody's house. If you are beautiful, you will be (5)       in the market. Be like this tree, and you will grow big and thousands of people will find shade under it."

15．　　Joanna Cole is an American writer famous for writing The Magic School Bus series. What's Joanna Cole interested in? Well, just about everything. And when Joanna Cole is interested in something, she usually writes a book about it.
　　Joanna was born in Newark, New Jersey, and grew up in East Orange. When she was small, she loved science very much. "We had a small garden, and I was the gardener in my family. I spent a lot of time planting flowers, daydreaming and watching ants."
As a non-fiction writer, Joanna does a lot of study on the topic before she writes a single word. “The impossible dream is to know everything," Joanna says. "When you are writing the book, you must choose what you want to go into the book. What always happens is that more things are left out than can go in."
"I have a question that I ask myself as I write: Why does the young reader want to turn the page? I never feel that they are going to turn the page just because it's there to turn. There has to be a question that's in a reader's mind and he or she turns the page to find the answers."
"Kids often ask me if it's fun to be a writer. That question always leaves me a little speechless. Because the answer is, of course, yes and no. When it's going well, there's nothing more exciting and enjoyable. But it's so much work!"
　　Joanna is loved by many for being able to make science interesting and easy to understand. And with The Magic School Bus series, she's done the impossible — she's made science funny.

16．　　After having spent the first quarter of our lives building up our friendship circle, we have most friends at the age of 26, a new study has said recently.
　　The study about friendship shows that our social circle gets to the top at 26 years and 7 months. At that time, we usually have five close friends. Women are most popular at 25 years and 10 months while men hitting the highest friendship point a little later at 27 years and 3 months.
　　The study, by Forever Friends, shows that about a third of grown-ups meet their closest friends when at school. But about a fifth say they meet them at work.
　　Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter now also play an important role in building new friendship. The study points out that 25 to 34-year-olds make 22 friends on Facebook. However, 18 to 24-year-olds make 12 and 35 to 44-year-olds make just 4.
　　Forever Friends' relationship coach Sam Owen says, "It is not surprising that over a third of us meet our best friends at school. It is a key time in our lives when friendship is growing through sharing notes, giving gifts, seeing each other regularly and laughing a lot. As grown-ups, we can often forget how powerful these small things are and how the little things can make a difference."
　　Later in life we find ourselves losing friends. Over half of us lose friendship through moving, while 36% say that over time they grow apart from close pals. Having children also causes 19% to be away from childhood friends.
　　With growing pressure on friendship these days, it's important to make time for our friendship.

　　Different people have different opinions about success. Some people think success means living a life that encourages other people to do well in their own lives.

25．　　Today, more and more people are working from home. But sometimes, certain events may actually force people to work from home. For many, working from home does come with something good — getting to work in pajamas, no commute, time to hang out with your dog. They could even do some chores between breaks. However, it also does have some real challenges.
　　Some complain that they couldn't finish the same work which can be easily done within the same time in the office. How can you make the time more productive when working from home?
　　No pajamas
　　Get out of your pajamas. You don't have to wear your office clothes, but at least you can look OK if someone knocks on your door at any time. Proper clothes can make you feel working in the office!
　　Work regular hours
　　If your normal office hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., stay with that schedule. Organizing your day will help you finish tasks properly. Keep a list of things you need to do, plan out ahead, and stick to it. Get off work when it is time to get off work unless you have urgent (紧急的) work to finish. Give yourself time to have a break and do the things you'd usually do indoors when work is done. We all need time for ourselves so that we can get enough energy to get back to the next day.
　　Choose a workspace
　　If you have a room like a study, it would be a perfect area to set up as your home office—you won't have too much distraction (干扰) there. Make sure the area can keep you inspired to work.
　　No chores
　　Don't waste your time doing chores during office hour. Just think about it: you are working on a program while the washing machine is washing dirty clothes and making a loud noise. You need to check if it's ready now and then. How can you make use of your working time?
