1、Not long after an old Chinese woman came back to China from her visit to her daughter in the States, she went to a city bank to deposit the US dollars her daughter gave her. At the bank counter, the clerk checked each note carefully to see if the money was real. It made the old lady out of patience.

At last she could not hold any more, uttering. "Trust me, Sir, and trust the money. They are real US dollars. They are directly from America."

一位中国老妇人在美国看望女儿回来不久，到一家市银行存女儿送给她的美元。在银行柜台，银行职员认真检查了每一张钞票，看是否有假。

这种做法让老妇人很不耐烦，最后实在忍耐不住说：“相信我，先生，也请你相信这些钞票。这都是真正的美元，它们是从美国直接带来的。”

2、Does the dog know the proverb, too?

The little boy did not like the look of the barking dog.

"Its all right," said a gentleman, "dont be afraid. Dont you know the proverb: Barking dogs dont bite?"

"Ah, yes," answered the little boy. "I know the proverb, but does the dog know the proverb, too?"

狗也知道这个谚语吗？

一个小男孩非常不喜欢狗狂叫的样子。

 “没有关系，”一位先生说，“不用害怕，你知道这条谚语吗：‘吠狗不咬人。’”

 “啊，我是知道，可是狗也知道吗？”

3、Only cash and credit cards

When a man called a motel and asked how much they charged for

a room, the clerk told him that the rates depend on room size and  number of people.

" Do you take children?" the man asked.

"No, sir," replied the clerk. "Only cash and credit cards."

只算现金和信用卡

一个人打电话给一家汽车旅馆询问房租，旅馆的工作人员回答说 房租的多少取决于房间的大小和住客的人数。

 “小孩儿算不算呢？”那人问道。

 “不算，先生。”服务员回答，“我们只算现金和信用卡。”

4、Logic Reasoning

A fourth-grade teacher was giving her pupils a lesson on logic.

"Here is the situation," she said. "a man is standing up in a boat in the middle of a river, fishing. He loses his balance, falls in, and begins splashing and yelling

g for help. His wife hears the commotion, knows that he cant swim, and runs down to the bank. Why do you think she ran to the bank?"

A girl raised her hand and asked, "to draw out all of his savings?"

逻辑推理

小学四年级的教师正在给学生们上一堂逻辑课。她举了这么一个例子：“有这样一种情况，一个男人在河中心的船上钓鱼，突然失去重心掉进了水里。于是他开始挣扎并喊救命。他的妻子听到了他的喊声，知道他并不会游泳，所以她就急忙跑向河岸。谁能告诉我这是为什么？” 一个女生举手答道，“是不是去取他的存款？”
