The Blonde and the Lawyer
A blonde and
a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from LA to NY.
The lawyer
asks if she would like to play a fun game.
The blonde,
tried, just wants to take a nap, politely declines and rolls over to the window
to catch a few winks.
The lawyer
persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun. He explains, “I
ask you a question, and if you don’t know the answer, you pay me $5.00, and
vice versa.”
Again, she
declines and tries to get some sleep. The lawyer, now agitated, says, “Okay, if
you don’t know the answer you pay me $5. 00, and if I don’t know the answer, I
will pay $500.00.
This catches
the blonde’s attention and, figuring there will be no end to this torment
unless she plays, agrees to
the game. The lawyer asks the first question. “what’s the distance from the
earth to the moon?” the blonde does’n say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls
out a $5.00 bill and hand into the lawyer. “Okay” says the lawyer, “your turn.”
She asks the lawyer, “what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down
with four legs?” The lawyer, puzzel, takes out laptop computer and searches all
his references, no answer. He taps into the air phone with his moderm and
searches and coworcers, to no avail. After an hour, he wakes the blonde, and
hand her $500.
The blonde says, “thank you”, and turns to get some more sleep.
The lawyer, who is more a little miffed, wakes the blonde and aska, “well,
what’s the answer?” without a word, the blande reaches into her purse, hand the
lawyer $5.00, goes back to sleep.

School uniform, another good
lesson
School uniform is special clothes
worn by all student of a particular school. The uniform of a school my differ
from others. Why should schools use uniforms? Below are some reasons.
First of
all, Notre dame’s department of sociology produced a study in 1998 concerning
school uniforms. Their findings using 10th grade students showed that uniforms
have no direct effect on “substance abuse, behavioral problems or attendance.”
It also claimed a negative effect on student achievements for those students
considered ‘pro-school’.
Secondly,
uniform help to create a strong sense school ethos and a sense of belonging to
a particular community. As such it promotes discipline and help to drive up
academic standards, which is why a uniform is often adopted by schools which
are being reopened with a fresh start after being classified as failing.
Finally,
uniform acts as a social leveler, under which all students are equal in the
eyes of the school and of each other, in institutions without uniform student
are often competitive and worry endlessly about their appearance and the
clothes they should wear. Pupils without expensive designer clothes and
trainers may be singled out as social outcasts, or stigmatized as being from
poor backgrounds. For these reasons many parents prefer uniforms as they save
them money on buying clothes for school wear. Considering the findings, schools
should implement the uniform as their identity. The government should also
publish some kind of rule which makes uniform compulsory for schools.

text about?
a.
The school rules c. The
importance of school uniform e. What
we should wear at school

One day, the poor widow no longer had enough food to satisfy her self and
her children. In her need, therefore, she went to her sister and said, “My
children and I are suffering the greatest hunger. You are my beloved sister and
you are rich. Please give a mouthful of bread.”
The very rich sister was too stingy to give some food to her sister and
said, “I my self have nothing in the house,” and she drove away her sister with
harsh words.
After some time, the husband of the rich sister came home and was just

the three eldest were laying dead. He offered her food, but she refused it and

satisfied the hunger of the three of us, and he will listen to our supplication
likewise.”
After she uttered these words, the two little ones drew their last breath.
