READING COMPREHENSION.

 

     A certain student passed all his school examinations and then went to continue his studies in a college. There he put his name down for a course in geography, but after the first lecture, he did not go to ( class ) anymore. The geography lecturer       ( teacher ) noticed that his student was always absent and thought that he had changed to another course, so he was very surprised when he saw the boy’s name on the list of students who wanted to take the geography examination at the end of the year. The lecturer had prepared a difficult examination paper, which followed his lectures ( speeches ) very closely, and he was eager to see how his student answered the questions. He expected that his answers would be very bad, but when they reached him soon after the examination and he examined them carefully, he was able to find only one small mistake in them. As this surprised him very much, he went through the paper again twice but was still not able to find more than one small mistake, so he sent for the student to question him about his work. When the student had come into the room, the lecturer sad to him,” I know that you came only to my first lecture and that you have been absent from all the others; but now I have examined your paper very carefully and I have been able to find only one small mistake in it. I am curious to know your explanation for that.”

“Oh, I am very sorry about that mistake sir”, answered the student.” After the examination I realized what I should have written. I would not have made that mistake if I had not been confused by your first lecture ( speech ).

وSilence of the heart

.not only the mouth-that too is necessary

:Then you can hear God everywhere

وin closing of the door

وin the person who needs you

وin the birds that sing

in the flowers, the animals-

.that silence which is wonder and praise

                                      Mother Teresa

نه تنها سکوت دهان،

 

که سکوت دل نیز ضروری است.

 

آن گاه می توانی خدا را در همه جا بشنوی:

 

در بسته شدن آن در،

 

در شخصی که نیازمند توست،

 

در نوای پرندگانی که میخوانند،

 

در گلها، در حیوانات-

 

سکوتی که شگفتی است و ستایش.                                   مادر ترزا
