自信是成功的基石，只要相信自己“我能行”，就一定会获得成功。（   ）

       Once upon a time, there was a poor fisherman in a village near the sea .He always dreamed of having a lo t of money. One day ,he heard that a big ship with a lot of gold sunk in the nearby water.Because of this , for a long time he often went to the sea and hoped to find the gold .

      One day, he was sitting on his boat daydreaming, he suddenly(突然) felt something heavy pulling(拉)on his fishing rod (钓竿).He thought that good luck had come to him , and he pulled hard at it . "Wow! A big, gold chain(金链子)!" He said happily when he saw the thing He then began to pull at the gold chain to try to get it all into the boat, but there seemed to be no end to it. When he got the more gold chain , the more water came into his boat .

       But, the fisherman did not know it .He began to dream of a big house , a big piece of land , buying horses and cows…… He kept pulling in the chain though the boat kept sinking. At last ,the boat went under the sea and the fisherman died (死)

伊壁鸠鲁说：“如果一个人不知道什么是宇宙的性质……没有自然科学的知识，就不能享受无比的快乐。”“当一个人年轻的时候，不要让他耽误了哲学研究；当他年老的时候，也不要让他对他的研究发生厌倦，因为要获得灵魂的健康，谁也不会有太早或太晚的问题。说哲学研究的时间还没到或已经晚了，就像说享福的时候还没到或已经晚了一样。”
