         悬梁xuan2 liang2--------东汉时候，有个人名叫孙敬，是著名的政治家。开始由于知识浅薄得不到重用，连家里人都看不起他，使他大受刺激，下决心认真钻研，经常关起门，独自一人不停地读书。每天从早到晚读书，常常是废寝忘食。读书时间长，劳累了，还不休息。时间久了，疲倦得直打瞌睡。他怕影响自己的读书学习，就想出了一个特别的办法。古时候，男子的头发很长。他就找一根绳子，一头牢牢的绑在房梁上。当他读书疲劳时打盹了，头一低，绳子就会牵住头发，这样就会把头皮扯痛了，马上就清醒了，再继续读书学习。这就是孙敬“悬梁”的故事。

        刺骨ci4gu3--------战国时期，有一个人名叫苏秦，也是出名的政治家。在年轻时，由于学问不多不深，曾到好多地方做事，都不受重视。回家后，家人对他也很冷淡，瞧不起他。这对他的刺激很大。所以，他下定决心，发奋读书。他常常读书到深夜，很疲倦，常打盹，直想睡觉。于是他想出了一个方法，准备一把锥子，一打瞌睡，就用锥子往自己的大腿上刺一下。这样，猛然间感到疼痛，使自己清醒起来，再坚持读书。这就是苏秦“刺股”的故事。
