A
When he was still young, everything was possible, for the world was just before him.
One morning, God came to him, “What wish do you have? Tell me and I can make it come true for you, for youre my pet. But remember, you can only tell one.”
“However,” he said unwillingly, “I have a lot of wishes.”
God slowly shook his head, “Therere too many beautiful things in the world, but life is limited, so no one can have all. Once you make a decision, you will give up others. Come on, choose carefully, with no regrets.”
Surprised, he asked, “Will I regret?”
God said, “Who knows? To choose wisdom means pains and loneliness; choose money and you will have the trouble it brings along. Think about it carefully, what do you really want in your lifetime?”
He thought and thought. He couldnt decide which one to give up. Finally, he said to God, “Let me think, let me think.”
God said, “But you should be quick, my son.”
Since then, his life was filled with the constant comparisons and balances. Day after day, year after year, he was no longer young. God came to him again, “My child, havent you decided your wish yet? But you only have five minutes left.”
“What?” he exclaimed, “Over the years, I havent enjoyed the joy of love, I havent accumulated wealth and havent received wisdom. I havent got all I want. My God, how can you take away my life at this time?”
Five minutes later,God took him away helplessly.
Life is like this: everywhere is alive with choices. Since it is impossible to have everything, you should learn to make a choice. If you are greedy for everything, perhaps you can only achieve nothing in the end.

To save yourself from embarrassment, its good to read a few books or research online about the culture and customs of the country you plan to visit.
Clothing: Wearing shorts in public is generally not acceptable in most parts of the world, including some European countries.
Greetings: A handshake is a usually accepted form of greeting, although in some countries, like Japan, a traditional bow is preferred. Be careful how you talk with someone; dont use first names unless you are invited to do so.
Language/ Gestures: Learn some polite expressions and relax. English is pretty common worldwide, especially in tourist areas, and you can always use body language to get your message across. However, some American gestures have different meanings in other countries. For example, in Bulgaria(保加利亚), shaking your head usually means “yes”; shaking it vertically means “no”.
Food/ Drink: You may find yourself looking down at a local delicious snake soup in China, sheeps eyes in Saudi Arabia… and wonder what to do, especially if you are a guest in someones home. Be brave, take small bites, and pretend it tastes like something you like. Remember that some Buddhists(佛教徒)dont eat beef, and Muslims(穆斯林)dont eat pork. If you are eating with Muslims, never touch food with your left hand (the left hand is for bathroom use).
Conversations: If you know the history and culture of the country, you will be confident. The French are angry at the classic American question “What do you do for a living” and so on.

Ye Shuhang: In some ways, reference books(参考书) are useful. They help us understand textbooks better. For example, if we miss a language point in English class, a reference book can help us to review the point. So I think its better to have such books in hand.Jiang Yixing: Reference books have some disadvantages. Some reference books show answers to the exercises in textbooks. This isnt very good. Students will just copy the answers directly instead of thinking for themselves. Day after day, students will begin to rely on reference books and wont listen carefully in class.Jin Yourong: Sometimes, reference books are useful. Some reference books show something a little bit more difficult than the textbooks. They challenge us and let us reach a higher level in our studies. So if you want to learn more, reference books are needed.Yang Haoyu: I dont think reference books are helpful. If we listen to our teachers carefully and solve the questions at school, this is enough to grasp(掌握)all the knowledge. Besides, the school has already given us too much homework. More reference books will only make us sick of studying. And for some subjects like English, if you want to learn well, the best way is to speak, not just to do exercises.Yang Tianxiao: I think reference books are useful. They can help us summarize concepts(总结概念). They help me save a lot of time, as I dont have to summarize by myself. I can directly use the ready summary. Sometimes I add some ideas of my own.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
