Long long ago, when the great library of Alexandria burned, one book was saved.But it was not a valuable book, so a poor man, who could read a little, bought it for a few coins.

The book wasn't very interesting, but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed.It was about the secret of the "Touchstone"! The touchstone was a small pebble(鹅卵石)that could turn any common metal into real gold.The writing explained that it was lying among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it.But the secret was this: the real stone would feel warm, while ordinary pebbles were cold.

So the man sold a few things of his own, bought some tools, camped on the beach, and began testing pebbles.He knew that if he picked up common pebbles and threw them down again, he might pick up the same pebble hundreds of times.So, when he felt one that was cold, he threw it into the sea.He spent a whole day doing this, but none of them was the touchstone.Yet he went on and on this way.Pick up a pebble.Cold - throw it into the sea.Pick up another.Cold - throw it into the sea.

Several years passed.One day, however, about mid - afternoon, he picked up a pebble and it was warm.He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done.He had formed such a strong habit of throwing each pebble into the sea that when the one he wanted came along, he still threw it away.

So it is with chance, if we don't pay enough attention, it is easy to miss a chance when it is in hand and it's just as easy to throw it away.

( )1.The book that the poor man bought was neither valuable nor interesting.

( )2.The poor man didn't find the difference between the touchstone and ordinary pebbles in the book.

( )3.The poor man decided to throw the pebble that was cold into the sea in order not to pick it up again.

( )4.The poor man picked up a pebble that was warm, however, he didn't catch it .

( )5.The story tells us that missing a chance is easier than getting a chance.
