　　Re-employment of Laid-off Workers

The issue of re-employment has emerged with large numbers of surplus labourers having been laid off. There is no doubt that it would lead to endless trouble if the surplus were not reorganized properly. In order to maintain social stability and to secure people's normal living standards, it is essential to work out solutions to the problem.

Solving the problem is a two-way operation as far as the government and workers are concerned. On the one hand, the government at all levels should try every possible means to create a wide range of employment options open to laid-off workers; on the other hand, these workers ought not to sit idle and wait for opportunities to come. So long as they don't lose heart and constantly strive to better themselves, their futures will be bright.

　　Physical Activity

Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. / It might be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. / It might be a game of some kind like football, hockey, golf or tennis, or it might be mountaineering. /

Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. / Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? / This astonishment is probably caused by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure. /

If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a "team sport". / We should be mistaken in this. / There are, it is true, no "matches" between "teams" of climbers. / However, when climbers are on a

rock face linked by a rope / on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork. /

　　The Clever Man Nasreddin

An old man died and left his son a lot of money. But the son was a foolish young man: he quickly spent all the money, and soon he had nothing left. Of course, when that happened, all his friends left him. When he was quite poor and alone, he went to see Nasreddin, who was a kind, clever old man and often helped people when they had troubles.

"My money is finished and my friends have gone," said the young man. "What will happen to me now?"

"Don't worry, young man," answered Nasreddin, "Everything will soon be all right again and you will soon feel much happier."

The young man was very glad. "Am I going to get rich again then?" he asked Nasreddin.

"No, I didn't mean that," said the old man. "I meant that you would soon get used to being poor and to having no friends."

　　A Man and His Car

A man was traveling abroad in a small red car. One day he left the car and went shopping. When he came back, its roof was badly damaged.

Some boys told him that an elephant had damaged it. The man did not believe them, but they took him to a circus which was near there. The owner of the elephant said, "I am very sorry! My elephant has a big, round, red chair. He thought that your car was his chair, and he sat on it!" Then he gave the man a letter, in which he said that he was sorry and that he would pay for all the damage.

When the man got back to his own country, the customs officers would not believe his story. They said, "You sold your new car while you were abroad and bought this old one!" It was only when the man showed them the letter from the man at the circus that they believed him.
