• Mr.Smith was a wealthy industrialist,but he was not satisfied with life.He did not sleep well and his food did not agree with him. This situation lasted for some time. Finally, after several sleepless nights, he decided to consult his doctor.The doctor advised a change of surroundings.“Go abroad,”he said.“But I’m not good at foreign language,” said Mr.Smith.“It doesn’t matter,” said the doctor.“It won't hurt you to talk a little less.Go on a voyage.Take plenty of exercise.Try to reduce your weight. Avoid rich food.” Mr.Smith went to Switzerland.He did not know French or German,and had to communicate through gestures. He attended a physical training course.The instructor made him bend his knees, swing his arms, stretch his neck and shake his head rapidly.He had to lie on the ground and raise his right and left legs alternately. After a time his muscles grew hard and firm.He forgot the financial crisis and the importance of raising the level of production. He even began to notice individual trees and individual birds. Finally he returned home. But unfortunately his improvement was only temporary.Soon he was a normal businessman again,worried about his property,his profits,his savings,his advancement in a technological society, and things in general.

• How men first learned to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery.All we really know is that men,unlike animals,somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds and which could be written down.Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters, we call words. The power of words,then,lies in their associations—the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary（文字的）style. Above all， the real poet is a master of words.He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music,and which by their position and association can move men to tears.We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately,or they will make our speech silly and rude.
