“
Oh boys
，
boys
，
don
’
t throw stones at that poor bird
，
”
said an old gray-headed man.

“
Why
，
sir
，
”
said a little boy
，
“
she makes such a scream
，
that we can
’
t bear her.
”
“
Yes
，
but she uses the voice which God gave her. And it is probably as pleasant to her friends as yours is
to those who love you. Besides
，
I am afraid the stone will rebound
（弹回）
，
and hurt you as long
as you live!
”

“
Rebound!We don
’
t understand you
，
sir!
”
“
Well
，
come and I will tell you a story.
”
“
Is it
a true story?
”
“
Yes. Every word is true.
”

“
Fifty years ago
，
I was a boy like you. I used to throw stones
，
and as I had no other boy very
near me to play with
，
I threw them till I became very accurate
（精确的）
in my aim.

“
One
day
I
went
to
work
for
an
aged
couple
named
Hamilton.
They
were
very
kind
to
everybody and everything. Few people had so many swallows
（燕子）
making their nests
（鸟巢）
under houses. Few had so many pets that seemed to love the couple.

“
For seven years a bird had come. After the long winter
，
the bird built her nest in the same
place and raised her young ones there. She had just returned on the day that I went there to work.

“
During the day
，
I thought I would try my skill upon her. She sat upon a stick near her nest
，
and looked at me trustfully. I found a nice stone and threw it with my best skill.

“
It shot
（击中）
the bird on the head
，
and she dropped dead!
“
I was sorry as soon as I saw her fall. But the deed was done. All day long her mate flew
about
，
and was so sad that he made my heart ache. Why had I taken a life so innocent
（无辜的）
，
and hurt the poor mate so deeply?
“
I said nothing to
the old
couple about it. But
，
through a grandchild
，
they found it out.
Though they never said a word to me on the matter
，
they
mourned the bird
and buried
（埋葬）
it. I could never look them in the face afterwards. Oh
，
I had told them how sorry I was!
“
They have been dead many
，
many years. But don
’
t you see how that stone rebounded and
hit me? How deep it made upon my memory! How deep upon my conscience
（良知）
！
Why
，
my
dear boys
，
how I want to give a great deal today if I could do something for that deed!
“
For fifty years I have carried it in my memory. I have never spoken of it before. Yet if what
I have now said shall prevent you from throwing a stone that may rebound and deeply hurt your
conscience. I shall be very cheerful.
”

The boys at once dropped the stones they had in their hands.

It
is
easy
for
many
people
to catch a
cold
in
the springtime
or
fall.
It
makes
us
wonder
if
scientists
can
send
a
man
to
the
moon,
why
can’t
they
find
a
cure
for
the
common
cold?
The
answer is easy. There are actually different cold viruses (
病毒
)out there. You never know which
one you will get, so there isn’t a cure for each one.





When a virus attacks(
攻击
) your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to
