At midnight Mr. King coughed again. He got up and took some medicine. Before he lay down again, he smoked. And he couldn't go to sleep any longer. He found the medicine book and began to read it. He was afraid he had lung cancer. He seemed to see death was waiting for him. Tears ran down his face. He didn't see his wife was standing by him. "What's wrong with you, dear?" asked the woman. "Nothing," the old man answered and covered his face with his hands. The old woman opened the book and understood at once. She said, "You must stop smoking right now." "I began to smoke when I was nine, you know. How can't I do that?" "But I think health is more important." Mr. King coughed again and his wife said, "Go to see a doctor tomorrow. He will be able to help you, I think." The doctor told Mr. King to have an Xray examination of his lungs. And then he looked at the Xray carefully for a long time. "Tell me the truth, doctor."said Mr.King, "Do you see any shadows in my lungs?" "No, I don't see anything." "Yes?" the old man said happily. "Really?" "Yes. Your lungs are turning black.

*Question*
One day at the end of the class, a wise teacher told each of her students to bring a plastic bag and a bag of potatoes to school. The next day she told her students, "From today on, for every person you don't like in your lives, you can choose a potato, write the person's name and the date on it and then put it in the plastic bag." Day after day, some of the students' bags were very heavy. They were then told to carry this bag with them everywhere they went for a week. They would put it inside their quilts at night, on the seats when sitting in a car or on a bus, and next to their desks at school. The days carrying the bag around with them made students get to know what a weight they were carrying in their minds. They had to pay attention to it all the time so that they wouldn't forget it. As time passed by, the potatoes went bad and smelt nasty . They all tried to get rid of them. Too often we think of tolerance as a gift to other people, and clearly it is for ourselves! If we choose to keep our sadness and hatred in our hearts, we will have to carry them around all our lives. Do you think you have got anything from the wise teacher and what she asked her students to do? Which is the best title of the passage A) Carrying potatoes. B) Less hatred, happier life. C) Keeping sadness and hatred. D) a bag of potatoes
