But it was not a valuable book, and so a poor man, who could read little, bought it for very little money.The book wasnt very interesting, but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed. It was a thin strip of vellum(羊皮纸) on which was written the secret of the “Touchstone! The touchstone was a small pebble (鹅卵石)that could turn any common metal into pure gold. The writing explained that it was lying among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it. But the secret was this: The real stone would feel warm, while ordinary pebbles are cold. So the man sold his few belongings, bought some simple supplies, camped on the seashore, and began testing pebbles. He knew that if he picked up ordinary pebbles and threw them down again because they were cold, he might pick up the same pebble hundreds of times. So, when he felt one that was cold, he threw it into the sea. He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone. Yet he went on and on this way. Pick up a pebble. Cold, throw it into the sea. Pick up another. Throw it into the sea. Pick up another. Throw it into the sea. The days continued over a long period of time.One day, however, about mid-afternoon, he picked up a pebble and it was warm. He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done. He had formed such a strong habit of throwing each pebble into the sea that when the one he wanted came along he still threw it away. So it is with opportunity. Unless we are careful, its easy to fail to recognize an opportunity when it is in hand and its just as easy to throw it away.56. The man bought the book because _.

Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at bed and breakfast houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories. “We didnt stay at bed and breakfast houses, they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday. I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought VACANCIES meant holidays, because the Spanish word for holidays is vacaciones. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said VACANCLES, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said NO VACANCLES, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels! We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word DIVERSION means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word DIVERSION on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hold. English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise,
