It will damage(破坏) the flowers in my garden, and don't throw any on the other side, because it will damage the wall. And don't throw any into the street, because the policeman will come.” Then he went out.

Three men traveling on a train began a conversition about the world's greatest wonders.
“ In my opinion,” the first man said, “ the Egyptian pyramids are the world’s greatest wonder. Although they were built thousands of years ago, they are still standing. And remember: the people who built them had only simple tools. They didn’t have the kind of machinery that builders and engineers have today.

The other two men were very surprised. “ A thermos?” they exclaimed(大声说), “ But that’s a simple thing.”
