內文

Xiaoshan is a bright high school sophomore attending a private school's gifted program. She's both intelligent and hardworking. One day, our conversation led to the topic of "the pursuit of knowledge."

"You seem to really enjoy seeking knowledge and are quite knowledgeable. Have you ever been stumped by a student?" Xiaoshan inquired, her curiosity shining through.

"Of course, I'm not an all-knowing expert. There have definitely been moments when I couldn't provide an answer," Alice admitted.

"What's the most memorable question that left you stumped?"

Well, there was this one time. I was reminding all the students about their homework and the importance of listening to a bit of English magazine content every day. Then, a student raised their hand and asked, "Can I ask a question?"

"Sure, go ahead."

"Life is like a bus hurtling towards death, constantly drawing nearer to that ultimate destination. Since we all end up facing mortality in the end, why should we even bother trying?"

「老師，你那麼喜歡追求知識，那麼博學，那你有曾經被學生難住的經驗嗎？」小珊帶著疑惑問到

「有。我又不是萬事通，怎麼可能沒被問倒過。」

「那讓你印象最深刻，被問倒的問題是什麼？」

喔，就是有一次。我在和各位同學說回家作業要記得交、英文雜誌盡量每天聽一點的時候。有一位同學舉手和我說

「老師，我可以問一個問題嗎？」

「好的，請說。」

人生就是一台開往死亡的巴士，不斷往死亡的終點前進。既然我們最後都會死，為什麼要努力呢？
