Question

The great Zen（禅宗）teacher, Benzei had many pupils. One day, one of them was caught because of stealing things by other students. And they reported him to Benzei, but he took no action against the boy.

A few days later, the same boy stole another student's things and was again caught. And again Benzei did nothing. This made the other students angry, and they wrote a petition(请愿书) to ask the teacher to send away the thief from school. They all threatened to leave if the boy was allowed to stay.

The teacher called a meeting of the students. When they had arrived, he said to them, "You are good boys who know what is right and what is wrong. If you leave, you will have no trouble in joining any other school. But what about your brother who does not even know the difference between right and wrong? Who will teach him if I don't? No, I cannot ask him to go even if it means losing all of you. "

试题分析：短文大意：Benzei有许多学生。一天，一个男生偷了东西，被告到Benzei这儿。但是Benzei什么行动也没有。几天过后，那个男孩又偷了东西，而Benzei还是什么也没有做。其他学生生气了，给Benzei写请愿书：如果老师不把偷东西的男孩赶走，他们都要离开。Benzei开了学生会，告诉大家：“你们是知道对、错的好孩子，如果你们离开了，很容易找到其它学校读书；如果把你们这个甚至还分不清是非的兄弟赶走了，谁还会教他呢？即使你们都走了，我也不能赶走他啊！”小男孩泪如雨下，从此改过自新，成了一个诚实的人。
