I sat with my friend in a well﹣known coffee shop in the town of Italy.
As we enjoyed our coffee，a man entered and sat down beside us.He called the waiter over，saying，”one of them there on the wall.”
We heard his order with interest and saw that he was served with one cup of coffee，but he paid for two.
When he left，the waiter put a piece of paper on the wall，saying "A cup of coffee".
While we were still there，two other men entered and ordered three cups of coffee，two on the table and one on the wall.They had two but paid for three.This time also，which made us feel so curious about what was going on there.

The waiter served a cup of coffee to this man with respect(尊敬).The man had his coffee and left without paying.We were amazed to watch all of this as the waiter took off a piece of paper from the wall and threw it into the bin.
Now it was no surprise for us﹣the matter was very clear.The people of this town showed great respect for those who needed help.
Just think about what this man wanted.He didn't have to lose his face to ask for a free cup of coffee.Without asking or knowing who was giving him this cup of coffee，he only looked at the wall，put an order.

Is it “shi” or “si” in the sentence “Thus when Heaven is about to confer a great office on any man...”(“故天将降大任于是／斯人也”) Recently, people had a heated discussion online about this. Most people “ 21 remember” that it’s “si”, while their childhood textbooks say it’s “shi” .

Then they were asked, “How fast was the white car going when it passed the 31 while traveling along the country road ” Actually there was no house in the film. 32 about 20 percent of the students said they had seen the house.

So imagination after getting a hint (暗示) could leave a(an) 33 in the brain.
Si or shi
In the case of “si” or “shi”, some people said that “si” sounds more like 34
Chinese while “shi” is widely used in modern Chinese. That's 35 most people believe “si” is correct in their minds.
