一叶障目
古时候，楚地有个穷苦的读书人，读《淮南子》这部书时，看到书上有这样的记载：螳螂用树叶遮住自己的身体，其他小昆虫就看不见它，要是有人能得到那片树叶，就能用它隐藏自己的身体。
看到这里，书生呆呆地想：要是我能得到那片树叶，该有多好。我用树叶遮住自己，想要什么只管到集市上去拿，再也不会过这苦日子了。
想到这里，他扔下书就往树林跑去，想找那种螳螂藏身的树叶。他抬着头，一棵树一棵树地找过去，脖子都酸了，也没找到那种叶子。
忽然，他看见一只螳螂躲在一片树叶的背后。他高兴极了，赶紧爬上树，准备采那片叶子。可巧，一阵风吹过来，树叶纷纷飘落，他要采的那片叶子也落到地上。
究竟哪片树叶是螳螂藏身的那片，他怎么也分不清。好不容易找到的宝贝树叶总不能不要呀！它准在这堆树叶里。书生脱下衣服，把地上的树叶都包了回去。
回去之后，他一片一片地拿起树叶遮住自己的眼睛，问他妻子：“你能看见我吗？”起初，他妻子老老实实告诉他：“看得见。”后来，见他没完没了地问，他妻子不耐烦了，说：“别问了，看不见了。”他高兴地跳起来，大声喊道：“宝贝可找到了！宝贝可找到了！”说完，拔腿就往市场跑。
市场可真热闹，什么东西都有。书生满心欢喜，一只手拿树叶遮住自己的眼睛，另一只手去偷人家的东西，结果，给人当场抓获，被扭送到县衙门。
县官审问他的时候，他老老实实地说：“我找到了一片能隐身的树叶，用它遮住自己的眼睛，什么都看不到，这才去拿人家的东西。不知怎么搞的，这片树叶失灵了，我给别人看见就被逮住了。”县官听了，忍不住哈哈大笑起来，知道他
是个书呆子，训斥了一顿就把他释放了。

What's Your Opinion? Chocolate or Vanilla

Transport company Uber has announced a new service that could make it cheaper for people in the US to travel to and from the airport and other popular places.

It's called Uber Shuttle — and it's really just a bus service offered by the company.

"Whether you're a traveler, sports fan, or concertgoer, get ready because Uber Shuttle is arriving soon," said Uber's Anthony le Roux when the news was announced in the middle of May.

Uber users will be able to book up to five seats on a shuttle service to big events and airports from a central place.

It might be useful if you're at a big, out-of-town concert and there aren't enough regular Ubers or taxis, for example.

Uber's shuttles will have between 14 and 55 seats, and people will be able to book up to a week before they travel.

The company says the cost of the shuttle will be "a fraction" of the price of a regular Uber.

In one example Uber gave during the announcement, the price of the shuttle was about one-third of the price of a regular Uber.

The shuttle, which has previously been tested in India, will be available in some US cities this summer to help people travel to and from events.

As for airports, Uber has not yet said which ones the shuttle will be available at.

When it is available, users will see the shuttle as an option in their apps, and they'll be able to rate and tip shuttle drivers just like regular Uber car drivers.
