　　规则7：在你出生前，你父母的生活还未像现在这般劳心劳力，单调无趣。现在，他们得忧心你的账单，为你洗衣打扫，聆听你对自己的夸夸其谈，洋洋得意，他们的生活变得枯燥乏味。在你雄心壮志的想要救万民于水火之　　前，先整理干净房间里的衣柜，一屋不扫何以扫天下。
　　Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers but life has not. In some schoolsthey have abolished failing grades and they’ll give you as many times as you want to get the rightanswer. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
