The wise man was reading in the small house by the river, when the young man found him. With a smile, the wise man heard the young man s words, and said to him, Come to help me boil a pot of water first! The young man saw a big pitcher (水罐) standing in the corner, next to a small fire stove (炉子), but he found no firewood in the stove, so he went out for it. He came back with some dead wood, filled up the pot with water and put on the stove. He put some firewood in the stove and burned up, but because the pot was too large, when the wood burned out, the water did not boil. Then he ran off to get firewood. When he went back, the water had nearly turned cold. This time he became smart, so he was not eager (急切的)to light the fire, but went out to look for some firewood again. Because the firewood was well prepared, the water boiled pretty soon. The wise man suddenly asked him, If there is not enough firewood, how should you boil the water? The young man thought for a moment and shook his head. The wise man said, If so, pour out some water of the pot! The young man nodded thoughtfully. The wise man continued, You had so many things you want at first and set too many goals, just as the large pot was filled with too much water but you didnt have enough firewood, so you couldnt boil water, and if you wanted to make the water boil , you’d better empty some of the water. The young man saw his light suddenly. When he went hack he removed many listed goals from his plan, leaving only a few recent ones, while with the snare time he studied all kinds of hobbies. A few years later, his goals came true. 66. The young went to see the wise man because he_______ A. graduated B. set goals C. achieved nothing D. heard about him 67. The wise
