  A pilot and four people were on a small plane. Suddenly something was wrong with the machine while it was flying in the sky.The smoke was everywhere in the plane. The pilot told the people there were only four parachutes(降落伞). All of them were worried and wanted to leave the plane as quickly as possible.They started to make excuses.
  The pilot said,“I must mend the machine.”With these words,he took a parachute and jumped out.
  Then a man stood up.“I am a doctor,”he said,“I save lives and help people live longer.”Taking a parachute,he also jumped out.
  The man next to him said,“I must have a parachute.I have to attend an important match.I’m sure I will win the game because I’m the cleverest person there.”He picked up a pack and jumped out.
  Only two men were left—an old man and a young cliff climber.By this time the plane was going down fast.The businessman said,“Young man,I’m old and you are still young.You take the last parachute.”The young cliff climber smiled.“Don’t worry,”he said,“We can both jump to the safety because there are still two parachutes.Just now the clever person jumped out with my backpack.”
