我难以忘怀李老师给我们上的那一课。有一天，他在学校的会议室给我们做了一次演讲。他手持一百美元，开始了他的讲话。“谁想要这一百美元？”他问道。绝大部分的学生迅速举手。接下来。他说：“我会把这一百美元给你们之中的一个人。但是，我先得做点什么。”他将这张钞票揉成一团后说道：“现在。谁还要这一百美元？”学生再一次举起手来。但是，他又说：“请稍等片刻。”他将钞票扔到地上用脚踩它，之后，他拾起这张脏了的钞票问道：“谁还要它？”很多人依然举手。
I will never forget the lesson which Mr Li gave us. One day Mr Li made a speech in our school meeting room. He began his speech by holding up a $100 bill. He asked, ＂Who would like this $100 bill？＂ Most of us put up our hands quickly. Then he said, ＂I am going to give this $100 to one of you, but first let me do this.＂ He then made the bill into a ball and said,＂Who wants it now？＂ We raised our hands again. But he said, ＂Wait a moment.＂ He then dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. After that, he picked up the dirty bill and said, ＂Who still wants it？＂ Many hands were still up.
