a student who finished his work before all the others and needed something more difficult for him to do. "Could you help me in the library？"she asked. I said, "Send him along."

Soon, a golden-haired boy appeared. "Do you have a job for me？" he asked. I told him about a system for sorting books. He picked up the idea immediately. Then I showed him some cards for some unreturned books that I thought had been returned but not recorded. Maybe some books were put on wrong places. He said, "Is it a kind of a detective(侦探) job？" I answered yes, and then began his work.

He had found three books with wrong cards by the time his teacher opened the door and said, "Time for rest!" he argued for finishing the finding job, but the teacher won.

The next morning, he arrived early, "I want to finish these books," he said. At the end of the day, when he asked to work with me more often, it was easy for me to say yes.

After a few weeks I found a note on my desk, inviting me to dinner at the boy's home. At the end of a pleasant evening, his mother declared that the family would be moving to another school. Her son's first concern, she said,was leaving the library. "Who will find the lost books？" he asked.

d a lot of things. Everything worked well, but I found one of my husband's socks missing. I looked everywhere for it, but I couldn't find it anywhere. The next morning, I got ready for school as usual. When the bell rang, the students came in. I greeted them first and then told them what we were going to do that day. When I turned around to write on the blackboard, the class broke out a roar! They laughed and laughed. They laughed so much, in fact, that I was afraid the headmaster would be into seeing all this. I asked the class to stop, but the more I talked, the more they laughed. I decided to pay no attention to them and I continued to write on the blackboard. When I did this, they roared even more. Finally, the teacher who had the room next to mine came in to see what all the laughter was about. When he came in, he started laughing, too! “Good heavens” I said. “Will someone please tell me what is so funny” “Oh, God, ”said the teacher. “You have a brown sock to the back of your skirt! ” So that's how I found my husband's missing sock. “Oh, well, ” I said to the class. “Let's just say you have had an unforgettable lesson on static (静止的) electricity. ”

Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you.
