The House of 1000 Mirrors
千鏡之屋
Long ago in a small, faraway village, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he hounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and firendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."
In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again."
All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?
趣味英語小故事：I've Passed My Right on to You
One day, Wilson was walking quietly along the road when somebody gave him a violent blow on the back of the neck. He looked behind him, and saw a young man whom he had never seen before.
「How dare you hit me like that!」shouted Wilson.
The young man said he had mistaken Wilson for a friend of his and that he thought Wilson was making a lot of noise about nothing.
This insult made Wilson even angrier, of course, and he at once arranged for the young man to be brought before a judge. There was nothing for the young man to do but to appear before the court.
Now, the judge who heard the case was a friend of the young man's father, and, although he pretended to be quite fair, he was thinking how he could avoid punishing the young man while at the same time not appearing unjust.
Finally he said to Wilson,「I understand your feelings in this matter very well. Would you be satisfied if I let you hit the young man as he hit you?」
Wilson said he would not be. The young man had insulted him and should be properly punished.
「Well, then,」said the judge to the young man,「I order you to pay ten liras to Wilson.」
Ten liras was very little for such a crime, but the young man did not have it with him, so the judge allowed him to go and get it.
Wilson waited for him to return with the money. He waited an hour, he waited two hours, while the judge attended to other business.
When it was nearly time for the court to close, Wilson chose a moment when the judge was especially busy, came up quietly behind him and hit him hard on the back of the neck. Then he said to him,「I am sorry, but I can't wait any longer. When the young man comes back, tell him that I have passed my right to the ten liras on to you.」

In the Warring States Period, a man in the State of Chu was offering a sacrifice to his ancestors. After the ceremony, the man gave a beaker of wine to his servants. The servants thought that there was not enough wine for all them, and decided to each draw a picture of a snake; the one who finished the picture first would get the wine. One of them drew very rapidly. Seeing that the others were still busy drawing, he added feet to the snake. At this moment another man finished, snatched the beaker and drank the wine, saying, 'A snake doesn't have feet. How can you add feet to a snake? '

(3) 濫竽充數
The Man Who Faked His Music
King Xuan of Qi was fond of music. In particular, he enjoyed listening to a wind instrument called the "yu". He appreciated it most when the yu was played by a band of about three hundred musicians. 齊宣王喜歡聽竽，尤其是三百人大樂隊的吹奏。
One time there was a vacancy in the royal band. When Nanguo heard about it, he applied for the post. 有一次，宣王招聘樂師。南郭先生聽到了這消息，就前往應聘。
Nanguo was not a musician at all. He had applied for the post simply because he was poor and it paid well. 南郭先生其實不會吹竽。他應聘的原因，是因為他家貧，兼且樂師的待遇又豐厚。
Nanaguo was lucky. Nobody knew he was faking. His luck did not last long, though, because King Xuan soon died and young Prince Min became king.
南郭先生相當幸運，沒有人發覺他在樂隊中裝模做樣，冒充內行。可是好景不常，宣王不久去世，閔王繼位。
King Min also enjoyed listening to the yu. Unlike his father, he preferred listening to the musicians playing solo. As soons as Nanguo got wind of the news, he sneaked away as fast as he could. 閔王也愛聽竽，不過，他跟他的父親不同，他喜歡聽樂師們一一獨奏。南郭先生知道後，便馬上溜走了。
(4) 郭氏之墟(the ruin of the capital of Guo Shi)
On a vacation trip, Duke Huan of the state of Qi came to the ruin of the capital of Guo Shi , which perished long ago.
Seeing the desolate and bleak prospects of broken tiles, collapsed walls, and clusters of weeds, he could not help asking the local people about the reason of the ruin of Guo Shi.
They replied,"Guo Shi was fond of doing good deeds, and averse to evildoing, which led to the perdition."
When the Duke could not understand the answer, people explained ," Though he liked doing good, he had never been able to do so; though he hated evildoing, never could he help not participating. That caused the ruin of his capital."
齊桓公出遊途中，來到已經滅亡許久的郭氏都城的廢墟。
看到瓦礫殘垣、雜草叢生的蕭條景象，忍不住問當地百姓郭氏滅亡的原因。
百姓們回答說："郭氏由於喜愛善行善事。厭惡邪惡醜行而導致滅亡。"
齊桓公不能理解這種回答，百姓們便解釋說："郭氏雖然喜愛善行善事，但從來都不能做到；盡管厭惡邪惡醜行，卻總是忍不住參與其中。這就是他的都城變成廢墟的原因。"
(5)老鼠和公牛(a mouse and a bull)
A mouse once took a bite out of a bull's tail as he lay dozing. The bull jumped up in a rage and, with his head low to the ground, chased the mouse right across the yard. The mouse was too quick for him, however, and slipped easily into a hole in the wall.
The bull charged the wall furiously again and again, but although he bruised his head and chipped his horns, the mouse stayed safely inside his hole. After a time the bull gave up and sank down to rest again.
As soon as the bull was asleep, the little mouse crept to the mouth of the hole, pattered across the yard, bit the bull again -- this time on the nose -- and rushed back to safety. As the bull roared helplessly the mouse squeaked:
"It's not always the big people who come off best. Sometimes the small ones win, you know."
老鼠和公牛
有一次，公牛躺著打盹，一隻老鼠咬了他的尾巴。公牛怒氣沖沖地跳起來，低著頭追老鼠，一直追過院子。然而，老鼠跑得比他快多了，從容地鑽到牆洞里去了。
公牛一次又一次地猛撞牆壁，盡管頭撞腫了，角撞裂了，老鼠卻安然待在洞里。過了一會兒，公牛不撞了，倒下歇著。
公牛剛睡著，小老鼠就爬到洞口，嗒嗒地跑過院子，又咬了公牛一口 ?? 這回咬了鼻子 ?? 又跑回安全的地方去。當公牛毫無辦法地吼叫時，老鼠吱吱叫道：
"大人物並不總占上風。有時小人物也會取勝。"
(6)男孩和蕁麻(a boy and a nettle)
A boy was playing in the fields when he was stung by a nettle . He ran home to
tell his mother what had happened.
"I only touched it lightly," he said, "and the nasty thing stung me."
"It stung you because you only touched it lightly," his mother told him." Next time you touch a nettle grasp it as tightly as you can. Then it won't sting you at all."
Face danger boldly.
男孩和蕁麻
有個男孩子在地里玩耍，被蕁麻刺痛了。他跑回家去，告訴媽媽出了什麼事。
"我不過輕輕地碰了它一下，"他說，"那討厭的東西就把我刺痛了。"
"你只輕輕地碰了它一下，所以它才刺痛你，"媽媽對他說，"下一回你再碰到蕁麻，就盡量緊緊地抓住它。那它就根本不會刺痛你了。"
要敢於面對危險。
(7) 鸚鵡和貓( a parrot and a cat)
A man once bought a brilliantly-coloured parrot. Instead of locking it up in a cage or chaining it to a perch, he allowed it to fly free all over the house. The parrot was delighted at this and flapped from room to room, shrieking and screaming with happiness. At last he settled on the edge of a rich curtain.
"Who on earth are you ?" said a cross voice from below. "Stop that terrible noise at once."
The parrot saw a cat staring up at him from the carpet.
"I 'm a parrot. I 've just arrived and I 'm to make as much noise as I can," he said.
"Well, I 've lived here all my life," replied the cat ."I was born in this very house and I learned from my mother that it is best to keep quiet here."
"Keep quiet then, "said the parrot cheerfully. "I don't know what you do around here, but I know my job. My master bought me for my voice and I'm going to make sure he hears it."
Different people are valued for different things.
鸚鵡和貓
從前，有人買了一隻毛色鮮艷的鸚鵡。他沒有把鸚鵡關在籠子里，也沒有用鏈條把他拴在棲木上，而讓他在家裡自由自在地飛來飛去。鸚鵡對此非常高興，撲動翅膀，從一間屋子飛到另一間屋子，愉快地尖聲叫著，最後停在華麗的帷幔的邊上。
"你到底是誰？"從下面傳來怒氣沖沖的說話聲，"馬上住嘴，別發出那難聽的聲音。"
鸚鵡看見地毯上有一隻貓抬頭看著他。
"我是鸚鵡。 我剛到，我要使勁地吵吵。"他說。 "那你就一聲不響吧，"鸚鵡歡快地說，"我不知道你在這兒干什麼，可我知道我的活兒。主人為了我的聲音才買我，我一定得讓他聽到。"
不同的人因有不同的特點而受重視。
(8) 野豬和狐狸( A wild boar and a fox)
A wild boar was sharpening his tusks against a tree one day when a fox came by.
"What are you doing that for?" asked the fox . "There are no hunters around. Everything looks very peaceful to me ."
"Quite true, "said the boar, "but when the hunter does come with his dogs I shall be too busy running away to have time for this . So let me sharpen my tusks while I can."
Be prepared .
野豬和狐狸
有一天，野豬在樹上磨牙齒，狐狸走過來。
"你為什麼干這個呀？"狐狸問，"附近又沒有獵人，我覺得平安無事。"
"不錯，"野豬說，"但是，如果獵人真的帶著獵狗來了，我只能逃走，就沒工夫干這個了。趁我現在可以磨，就讓我磨磨牙齒吧。"
時刻准備著（有備無患）
(9) 燕雀處室
The swallows and sparrows are very pleased to find a place on the roof of the hall for their nests.
The mother birds are feeding their babies with pleasure, which assumes a scene of peace and harmony.
But they have never thought of the following scene: the chimney at the top of the kitchen might break, the fire might leap up to the roof and the burning purling might destroy their nests.
But those swallows and sparrows are unmindful of the coming disaster.
They go on with their superficial happiness brought by peace and calm.
燕雀處室
燕雀為擁有屋頂下面的一個位置而欣慰不已。
母鳥用叼來的食物喂養啁啾鳴叫的幼鳥，整個兒是一派歡樂自得的祥和景象。
它們完全沒有考慮到：爐灶上的煙囪有可能會炸裂，火苗將會竄上屋樑，燒著的椽 將會摧毀它們的巢穴。
不知大禍將要降臨到自己頭上的燕雀們正在安然自若地品味這表面上的安寧所帶來的幸福。
(10)山(a great mountain)
Long ago a great mountain began to rumble and shake .
People came from far and near to see what would happen.
"A great river will be born." said one.
"Surely nothing less than a mighty dragon will come out." said another.
"A god himself will spring form these rocks." said a third.
Finally , after days of expectation a small crack appeared in the mountain. And out popped ---- a mouse.
Just because someone makes a lot of fuss, it doesn't mean he is important.
山
很久以前，一座大山隆隆作響，搖晃起來。遠近各處的人都來看是怎麼回事。
一個人說："要出現一條大河了。"
另一個人說："准會出現一條巨龍。"
第三個人說："從這些岩石中會出現一尊神來。"
等了幾天之後，山坡上終於裂開一條小縫，卻蹦出來一隻耗子。
正因為某人大肆張揚，所以他沒有什麼了不起。

A man was driving in his sleek black race car when he saw a hare jumped to his car. He braked sharply. But the hare was hit and killed. The man pulled over and cried. A dazzling red race car drove by. The girl in the car stopped and said: don't worry. I can help you. She took out a can and sprayed over the limpy hare.

I feel sure your voice must surpass that of other birds, just as your figure does; let me hear but one song from you that I may greet you as the Queen of Birds.』 The Crow lifted up her head and began to caw her best, but the moment she opened her mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to be snapped up by Master Fox. 『That will do,』 said he. 『That was all I wanted.

8. 求幾篇80個單詞左右的英語短文/小故事/幽默笑話
請參考：
「To bell the cat」 means to do something dangers, something that might end in disaster災難.
The expression comes from an old story. A family of mice老鼠 could not leave the hole to get food because of its fear of a cat. The mice decided to tie a bell around the cat's neck頸. The bell would ring as the cat moved. So the mice would always know where the cat was. All agreed it was a wonderful plan. That is until one wise old mouse asked, 「Who will bell the cat?」
Bell the cat，給貓繫上鈴鐺，這當然是沒什麼難的，但如果聯想一個古老的寓言里，「給貓繫上鈴鐺」還是一件很冒險的事情呢！故事的發生是這樣的：一窩老鼠因為怕貓，結果餓的要命。於是它們認為最好的辦法是在貓的脖子上系一個鈴鐺。這樣，鈴鐺一響，它們就知道貓來了。大家都覺得那是個好主意，但是有一隻老的、比較聰明的老鼠問，「誰去給貓繫上鈴鐺呢？」。當然「老鼠給貓系鈴鐺」是奢談，但如果真的有個老鼠敢為貓繫上鈴鐺，那它也算是「為救眾多的老鼠」而「奮不顧身」了，不過最終也是得到死無葬身之地的結果。不知道現在的社會中是不是：It's very diffcult to get a man who will bell the cat. 很難找到危險時刻能夠挺身而出的人。
所以bell the cat就表示「為眾人承擔風險、替別人冒險」的意思。
還有參考的：
「to be somebody's cat's paw.」成為某人的貓爪，被某人利用 It means to be fooled in to doing someone else's dirty work. It comes from an old story about a monkey. He wants some nuts heating on a fire. The monkey tries to steal the nuts. But he burns his fingers. So, he seizes the foot or paw of a cat and he uses that to pull the nuts out of the fire.
「Fat Cat」 describes someone who is rich. You often hear it ring political campaigns政治競選. Some fat cats give lots of money to politicians they hoped will be elected將被選舉上. American jazz musicians have used the word 「cat」 to mean a man.
A sharp cat is a man who is dressed in the latest fashionable clothing. The great American horn player Louis Armstrong used the expression this way many years ago. Armstrong said, 「I had on a new cowboy hat牛仔帽, a fine black suit, and new shining leather shoes皮鞋. I was a sharp cat.」
