    Many years ago in a small territory,there was not one of the in-habitants who did not stutter when he spoke,or halt in walking;both these defects,moreover,were considered accomplishments1 A stranger saw the evil,and thinking how they would admire his walking,went about without halting in the usual manner of our race.Everyone stopped to look at him,and all those who looked,laughed,and holding their sides to repress their merriment,shouted,“Teach the stranger how to walk properly!”
    The stranger considered it his duty to cast the reproach from himself.“It is not I but you who half.”he cried,“You must accustom2 yourselves to giving up so awkward a habit!”This only increased the uproar,when they heard him speak;he did not even stammer,which was sufficient to disgrace him,and he was laughed at throughout the country.Habit will render the faults which we have been accustomed to from youth,beautiful;in vain will a stranger attempt to convince usthat we are in error.Exercises:
    回答下列问题:
    ① What were the strangest things in the town?
    ② What did the stranger think about this?
    ③ How did they react to his behaviour?
    ④ What do we learn from this?
