A fourth-grade teacher was giving her pupils a lesson on logic.
　　 “Here is the situation,” she said. “A man is standing up in a boat in the middle of a river, fishing. He loses his balance, falls in, and begins splashing and yelling for help. His wife hears the commotion, knows that he can’t swim, and runs down to the bank. Why do you think she runs to the bank?”
　　 A girl raised her hand and said, “To draw out all of his savings?”
　　 小学四年级的教师正在给学生们上一堂逻辑课。
　　 她举了这么一个例子：“有这样一种情况，一个男人在河中心的船上钓鱼，突然失去重心掉进了水里。于是他开始挣扎并喊救命。他的妻子听到了他的喊声，知道他并不会游泳，所以她就急忙跑向河岸。谁能告诉我这是为什么？”
　　 一个女生举手答道，“是不是去取他的存款？”
　　
　　 In order to prove the harmful effect of alcohol, the teacher put a bug into a glass filled with alcohol, soon the bug died.
　　 The teacher asked a student, “What does this show?”
　　 The student answered, “It shows that people won’t get bug if they drink more alcohol.”
　　 为了证明酒精对生物的危害，老师把一只虫子放入装有酒精的杯子里，虫子很快就死了。
　　 老师问一 个学生：“这说明了什么？”
　　 学生答道：“这说明了人多喝酒，就不会长虫子。”
