题目内容:
One day, a young soldier walked up to a much decorated senior officer in the army and asked him: “Sir, what is the secret of your success in the army? I want to be an officer too.”
The officer looked at the young soldier steadily (一动不动地) for about three minutes and gave him a threatening (带有威胁的) order. He gave the young soldier a cup full of water and told him to walk round the training field five times. He clearly told him that his life depended on it, and if a drop of water fell from the cup, another soldier would shoot him on the head. Four soldiers were strategically (战略上的) positioned to shoot him down once a drop of water fell from the cup.
Seeing how serious the whole thing turned out, he took the cup full of water and went out to complete his task. The young soldier carefully walked round the training field five times without letting a drop fall from the cup. On completion of the task, he returned the full cup to the senior officer.
When the officer saw what he did to protect his life by not allowing a drop of water out of the cup, he asked him the following questions:
“Did you see those beautiful girls dancing at the nearby market?"
The young soldier replied, “No.”
“Did you see those soldiers playing football in the field?”
The young soldier replied, “No.”
“What about those people fighting across the other side of the field?”
