He patrolled (巡逻) the spring every day, and swept away all the leaves and other things that would dirty the fresh flow of water. Soon, beautiful swans (天鹅) came to the clear spring, and the village became a popular attraction for visitors.‎ Years passed. One evening the town leaders held a meeting. As they looked at the salary list, one of them said, “Why do we keep this old man on year after year? I don’t think we need him or his work.” Later, the old man was asked to leave.‎ For several weeks, nothing changed. By early autumn, the leaves began to fall off the trees, and the spring was covered with leaves. A few days later, the water was much ‎ darker. Only a few months after the old man left, all the swans left, as did the tourists. Disease reached deeply into the village.‎ Quickly, the leaders held a special meeting. Realizing their mistake, they rehired the old man. Then within a few weeks, the spring began to clear up. Soon new life returned to the village.‎ So, my friends, do you see?

Thousands of sports fans buy expensive tickets to watch their favourite teams and athletes play in person. Other fans watch the games at home. The most devoted sports buffs never miss a game. Many a wife becomes a “sports widow (寡妇)” during her husband’s favorite season.‎ America’s devotion to athletics has created a new class of wealthy people: professional athletes. Sports stars often receive million-dollar salaries.

Many of the workers who print newspapers and books, and ‎ who weave(织)cloth become deaf. Quite a few people living near airports also become deaf.
