Wolf,wolf,and exercises
Wolf! Wolf!
In the forest which was near a village in India, there were many wolves and other animals.
The wolves often came out of the forest and killed the sheep in the field.
The men who lived in the village tried to kill all the wolves. Whenever they heard that there was a
wolf in the fields they came to the place to kill it.
Now one of the shepherds was only a boy. This boy, who was rather lazy, liked to waste as much
time as he could. He gave his master and the village people much trouble. One day he suddenly
shouted, "Wolf! Wolf!" several times.
When the men heard the boy's shouts they left their work and ran into the field with sticks and
knives.
"Where is the wolf which is troubling your sheep?" they asked.
But the bad boy only laughed and said, "There is no wolf, you are just wasting your time."
He thought this an excellent game, so he played it several times.
Finally the villagers said, "We won't go any more."
One day they heard the boy cry "Wolf! Wolf! a wolf is eating my sheep," but they did not leave
their work to go and save the sheep.

Charles Robert Darwin was born in Shrewsbury, England, on February 12, 1809. He came from a
wealthy family and never had to work. He studied medicine and theology. In 1831 he graduated
from University of Cambridge with a degree of theology.
He began a career as a scientist quite by chance. On December 27,1831, 22 years old Charles
Darwin joined the crew of the HMS Beagle as a naturalist.The five years expedition collected
hydrographic, geologic, and meteorologic data from South America and many other regions
around the world. Darwin's own observation on this voyage led to his theory of natural selection.
Charles Darwin was greatly influenced by the geologist Adam Sedgwick and naturalist John
Henslow in his development of the theory of natural selection, which was to become the
foundation concept supporting the theory of evolution. Darwin's theory holds that environmental
effects lead to varying degrees of reproductive success in individuals and groups of organisms.
Natural selection tends to promote adaptation in organisms when necessary for survival. This
revolutionary theory was published in 1859 in Darwin's now famous On the Origin of Species by
Means of Natural Selection.
Alfred Bernhard Nobel was a Swedish chemist, engineer, innovator, and ornament manufacturer.
He was the inventor of dynamite. He also owned Bofors, which he had redirected from its previous
role as primarily an iron and steel producer to a major manufacturer of cannons and other
ornaments. He held 355 different patents, dynamite being the most famous. In his last will, he
used his enormous fortune to institute the Nobel Prizes. The synthetic element nobelium was
named after him. He was the third son of Immanuel Nobel and Andriette Ahlsell Nobel. Born in
Stckholm on 21 October 1833, he went with my family to Saint Petersburg in 1842, where his
father invented modern plywood. He studied chemistry with Professor Nikolay Nickolaevich Zinin.
When he was 18, he went to the United States to study chemistry for four years and worked for a
short period under John Ericsson, who designed the American Civil War ironclad USS Monitor.
Returning to Sweden, with his father after bankruptcy of his family business, he then devoted
himself to the study of explosives, and especially to the save manufacture and use of
nitroglycerine (discovered in 1847 by Acanio Sobrero, one of his fellow students under Theophile-
Jules Pelouze at the University of Turin). A big explosion occurred on 2 September 1864 at his
factory in Heleneborg in Stockholm, killing five people. Among them was his younger brother,
Emil.
The foundations of the Nobel Prize were laid in 1895 when Alfred Nobel wrote his last will, leaving
much of his wealth for its establishment. Since 1901, the prize has honoured men and women for
outstanding achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and for work in peace.

Maria Yuryevna Sharapova is a Russian professional tennis player. She was born in 1987 in
Ngayan, Siberia.
At the age of three, Sharapova moved with her family to Sochi. She began playing tennis at the
age of four using a racket given to her by Yevgeng Kafelnikov's father. At the age five or six, at a
tennis clinic in Moscow, Sharapova was spotted by Martina Navratilova, who urged her parents to
get her serious coaching in the USA.
At the age of seven, she and her father boarded a plane to the USA with only $700. Her father
took her to the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy where one of the coaches check her out. The story
goes that maria knocked his hat off with the tennis ball, thereby making a favorable impression.
This led her obtaining a scholarship. At the age of nine, she was signed up by a number of
sponsors including Prince (racquets), Oakley and Nike.
In 2004, Sharapova became the second youngest Wimbledon women's champion in open era
(after Martina Hingis) by defeating defending two-time champion Serena Williams in straight sets
(6-1, 6-4). In the process she also became the first Russian ever to win that tournament.
In December 2006, I went to Doha to participate in the 2006 Asian Games taking part in the Bach Volley
Ball Championship. We prepared for a long time, training hard and fighting for approval of our
participation. Nothing was easy. My partner, clear, my coach, King, and I were aiming to get into the top 8
at the Asian Games.
Unfortunately, I sprained my ankle one week before departure, which frustrated me beyond belief. I had
physiotherapy every day following the injury, and tried to recover as quickly as possible. Of course, the
ankle could not heal completely in a few days, so I had no choice but to just try my best and have my ankle
taped when I played in matches.
We played against a team from Thailand, Mongolia, and Malaysia. The most difficult and important match
was that against the Malaysian Team. We played well for the match and tried our very best. But finally we
lost to them and ranked 9. It was so close. We nearly reached our goal - to be among the first 8 teams.
I, Milton Friedman was born on July 31, 1921, in Brooklyn, N.Y., the fourth and last child and first
son of Sarah Ethel (Landau) and Jeno Saul Friedman. My parents were born in Carpatho-
Ruthenia of the Soviet Union. They emigrated to the U.S. in their teens, meeting in New York.
When I was a year old, my parents moved to Rahway, N.J., a small town about 20 miles from New
York City.
I was awarded a competitive scholarship to Rutgers University. I graduated from Rutgers in 1932. I
financed the rest of my college expenses by the usual mixture of waiting at tables, clerking in a
retail store, occasional entrepreneurial ventures, and summer earnings. Shortly, however, I
became interested in economics.
In economics, I had the good fortune to be exposed to two remarkable men: Arthur F. Burns and
Homer Jones. Arthur Burns shaped my understanding of economic research, introduced me to the
highest scientific standards, and became a guiding influence on my subsequent career. Homer
Jones introduced me to rigorous economic theory, made economics exciting and relevant, and
encouraged me to go on to graduate work. On his recommendation, the Chicago Economics
Department offered me a tuition scholarship. As it happened, I was also offered a scholarship by
Brown University in Applied Mathematics, but, by that time, I had definitely transferred my primary
allegiance to economics. In 1976 I won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics for my
achievements in the fields of consumption analysis, monetary history and theory and for his
demonstration of the complexity of stabilization policy. In 1977, at age 65,1 retired from the
University of Chicago after teaching there for 30 years.
