Know Yourself

In science class, Tim felt a flutter of excitement. Their teacher, Mr. Jacobs, announced a special challenge: to solve a complex puzzle involving the planets. "The first one to solve it gets a prize," Mr. Jacobs said. Tim’s eyes sparkled with determination, but he soon realized the puzzle was far more confusing than he expected. It seemed like a tangled mess of numbers and symbols. Tim wondered, "How am I going to figure this out?" 在科学课上，蒂姆感到一阵兴奋。老师雅各布斯先生宣布了一个特别的挑战：解决一个涉及行星的复杂谜题。"第一个解开谜题的人将获得奖励，"雅各布斯先生说。蒂姆的眼睛闪烁着决心，但他很快意识到这个谜题比他预期的要复杂得多。它看起来像是一团混乱的数字和符号。蒂姆心想："我该如何解开这个谜题呢？"

Tim immediately grabbed his notebook and started jotting down ideas. He tried to remember what they had learned about planets, but his mind went blank. "This is harder than I thought," Tim mumbled, scratching his head. His friend Mia tried to help by suggesting they check their textbooks. But every time they thought they were getting somewhere, another part of the puzzle seemed to change. "We'll never solve it," Mia sighed.

As the minutes ticked by, Tim felt the pressure mounting. He noticed other classmates, like Jake and Lily, struggling too. "Maybe we need to think differently," Tim suggested, hoping for inspiration. But when they tried different approaches, they only got more confused. "It's like the puzzle has a mind of its own," Jake complained. Tim felt his confidence slipping away with each failed attempt. 随着时间一分一秒地流逝，蒂姆感到压力越来越大。他注意到其他同学，比如杰克和莉莉，也在苦苦挣扎。"也许我们需要换个思路，"蒂姆提议，希望能得到灵感。但当他们尝试不同的方法时，却变得更加困惑。"这个谜题好像有自己的想法，"杰克抱怨道。蒂姆感到自己的信心随着每次失败的尝试而逐渐消失。

Feeling overwhelmed, Tim slumped in his chair. "I give up," he muttered to himself, staring blankly at the puzzle. Mia noticed and sat down next to him. - Don't quit, Tim. We're so close, she encouraged. But Tim couldn't see a way through the mess of numbers and symbols. It felt like the prize was slipping further away every second. His heart sank, and he considered leaving the challenge altogether. 感到不知所措，蒂姆瘫坐在椅子上。"我放弃了，"他自言自语，茫然地盯着谜题。米娅注意到了，坐到他旁边。 "别放弃，蒂姆。我们已经很接近了，"她鼓励道。但蒂姆看不到如何穿过这团混乱的数字和符号。他感觉奖品每一秒都在离他越来越远。他的心沉了下去，考虑彻底放弃这个挑战。

Just then, Mr. Jacobs walked over and knelt beside Tim. - Sometimes, the answer is right in front of us, he said softly. Tim looked at him, puzzled. - Think about what you've learned, and let it guide you, Mr. Jacobs added with a smile. Suddenly, something clicked in Tim's mind. He remembered a lesson about patterns in the solar system. With renewed energy, he picked up his pencil. 就在这时，雅各布斯先生走过来，蹲在蒂姆身边。 "有时候，答案就在我们眼前，"他轻声说。蒂姆困惑地看着他。 "想想你学过的东西，让它指引你，"雅各布斯先生微笑着补充道。突然，蒂姆的脑海中有了灵感。他想起了关于太阳系模式的一课。带着重新燃起的能量，他拿起铅笔。

With a newfound sense of clarity, Tim reviewed the puzzle. He realized the patterns he noticed before were key to solving it. - I think I've got it! Tim exclaimed, his voice filled with excitement. As he worked through the numbers, everything suddenly made sense. Moments later, he stood up triumphantly. Mr. Jacobs clapped and said, - Well done, Tim! You've found the wisdom within yourself. 怀着新找到的清晰感，蒂姆重新审视了谜题。他意识到他之前注意到的模式是解开谜题的关键。 "我想我明白了！"蒂姆兴奋地喊道，声音充满激动。当他解开数字时，一切突然变得有意义了。片刻之后，他胜利地站了起来。雅各布斯先生鼓掌说道： "做得好，蒂姆！你在自己内心找到了智慧。"
