When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so, I find the article on the   1side is much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to   2in good health, or   3about how to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to   4damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text   5the title. Therefore, the scissors would   6before they start,   7halfway done when I find out the   8result.

It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only   17we get into another. The   18may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind. I   19remember a philosopher’s remarks: “When one door shuts, another opens in life.” So a casual   20may not be a had one.
