In 1968,a farmer dug a beautiful pot out of the field.As it had no lid(盖子) to open,the farmer thought it useless and just kept it in the house.
Fourteen years later when a friend dropped in,this special pot caught his attention.He took it to a museum and asked experts(专家) for help.Soon experts came to a surprising result:the pot belonged to the Five Dynasties(907-960).
But experts didn't know how to pour water into the pot.They only found a small hole in the bottom.What was it used for?
To find the answers,experts gave the pot an X-ray,and found there were two pipes(管道) inside.One straight pipe is in the middle,and the other curved(弯的) pipe connects to the spout(壶嘴).The small hole in the bottom is the end of the straight pipe.When using the pot,people have to first hold it upside down and then pour water into the small hole.Water can be poured out from the spout through the curved pipe,but it won't come out from the hole in the bottom.This keeps the water inside clean.
Experts further studied the designs(图案) on the pot.In China,the lion is the "king of animals",the peony is the "king of flowers",and the phoenix is the "king of birds".These special designs are used to express good wishes.As all three appear on the pot,it is named "Pot of Three Kings".
Now the pot is housed in Shaanxi History Museum.Many visitors,local and international,are surprised at the wisdom of the Chinese people over 1,000 years ago!

3.How often do you let other people's nonsense(胡说) change your mood?Do you let a bad driver,impolite waiter,rude boss,or an insensitive employee ruin your day?
One day I was in a taxi and we headed for the airport.We were driving when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space r(1)in front of us.My taxi driver slammed on his brake,slide sideways,and at the very last moment our car stopped and missed the other car by just inches!The driver of the other car looked around and started shouting at us.
My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy.And I mean he was really f(2).So I asked,"Why did you just do that?This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!"This is my taxi driver taught me what I now call "The Law of the Garbage Truck(垃圾车)".
