     There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care.To water his flowers,he used
two buckets.One was a shiny and new bucket.The other was a very old and dilapidated one,which
had seen many years of service,but was now past its best.
     Every morning,the gardener would fill up the two buckets.Then he would carry them along the
path,one on each side,to the flowerbeds.The new bucket was very proud of itself.It could carry a full
bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出)．The old bucket felt very ashamed because of
its holes:before it reached the flowerbeds,much water had leaked along the path.
     Sometimes the new bucket would say,"See how capable I am!How good it is that the gardener
has me to water the flowers every day!I don"t know why he still bothers with you.What a waste of
space you are!"
     And all that the old bucket could say was,"I know I"m not very useful,but I can only do my best.
I"m happy that the gardener still finds  a little bit of use in me,at least."
     One day,the gardener heard that kind of conversation.After watering the flowers as usual,he said,
"You both have done your work very well.Now I am going to carry you back.I want you to look
carefully along the path."
     Then the two buckets did so.All along the path,they noticed,on the side where the new bucket was
carried,there was just bare(光秃秃的) earth；on the other side where the old bucket was carried,
there was a joyous row of wild flowers,leading all the way to the garden.

1．What does the underlined word "dilapidated" probably mean?A. Dirty.
B.   Dark.
C．Wornout.
D．Plainlooking2．What was the old bucket ashamed of?A.   His past.
B．His aging.
C.   His manner.
D．His leaking.3．The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to________.A. laugh at the old one
B. take pity on the old one
C. show off its beautiful looks
D. praise the gardener"s kindness4．Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?A. Because it was used to keep a balance.
B. Because it stayed in its best condition.
C. Because it was taken as a treasure.
D. Because it had its own function.

举一反三

完形填空     I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn"t like attention drawn to myself. And
__1__otherwise assigned(指定)a seat by the teacher, I always__2__to sit at the back of the classroom.
     All this__3__after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the
basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy__4__because I didn"t have a good sense of balance,
nor did I have the__5__to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the
teacher who kept insisting on my "__6__for it",   I wouldn"t have decided to give it a try.
     Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the__7__of it! When I first started__1__the
practice sessions, I didn"t even know the rules of the game, much__9__what I was doing. Sometimes
I"d get__10__and take a shot at the wrong direction-which made me feel really stupid.__11__,   I
wasn"t the only one "new" at the game, so I decided to__12__on learning the game, do my best at each
practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn"t__13__"just yet".
     I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the__14__and the "moves". Being part of a team was fun
and motivating. Very soon the competitive__15__in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With
time, I learned how to play and made friends in the__16__— friends who respected my efforts to work
hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!
     With my__17__selfconfidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from
"__18__" in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself,  __19__raising my
hand—even when I sometimes wasn"t 100 percent__20__I had the right answer. Now I have more
selfconfidence in myself.

     A Japanese student called Mami told me about her ownexperiences in Britain.She spent 10 months
in the UK last year, studying English at a language school.She really enjoyed her first two weeks in the
UK.But soon she started to miss things of her own country.She found it hard to make friends,and got
annoyed(恼火的) about local people"s behaviour.Mami said,"After a few weeks I started to cry a lot.
I felt homesick.I thought the weather was dark and too changeable,and that affected my mood as well."
    To comfort herself Mami began to spend many hours on the Internet chatting with her friends back
home.She spent a couple of weeks in the countryside in Kent.She went to a social club for British
people who were interested in Japan and started to make some friends there.In addition,  she took a
short course in calligraphy(书法)to get an opportunity of mixing with local people.A few months later,
Mami"s impression of the UK had greatly changed.She found that most of the British were friendly,
witty and fun.
      However,once Mami was back in Japan,she experienced "culture shock"again.She said,"I missed
the friends I had made in England.My way of thinking had changed.Sometimes I was annoyed by the
views of people in my country-for example,about the value of money and time.I thought people around
me lived in such a small world."Mami noticed some changes in her behaviour:"I kept the habit of always
carrying an umbrella with me, even on a fine day-my friends  thought I was crazy!"

1. How did Mami feel at the beginning of her stay in Britain?
A. Shocked.
B. Annoyed.
C. Pleased.
D. Homesick.

2. The second paragraph tells us ________.
A. how Mami overcame culture shock in Britain
B. how Mami felt as soon as she arrived in Britain
C. what Mami learned in her language school
D. what Mami liked and disliked about Britain

3. The reason why Mami had the habit of carrying an umbrella was that ________.
A. she liked umbrellas very much
B. the umbrella reminded her of her life in the UK
C. she had got used to the changeable weather in Britain
D. it often rained in Japan those days

4. Why did Mami experience culture shock in Japan?

C. The Japanese behaviour had changed a lot.
D. She had got used to British culture and life.

     In the depths of my memory, many things I did with my father still live.These things have come to
represent,in fact,what I call__1__and love.
      I don"t remember my father ever getting into a swimming pool.But he did__2__the water.Any kind
of __3__ride seemed to give him pleasure.__4__ he loved to fish；sometimes he took me along.
      But I never really liked being on the water, the way my father __5__.I liked being at the water,
moving through it,__6__it all around me.I was not a strong__7__, or one who learned to swim early,
for I had my__8__.But I loved being in the swimming pool close to my father"s office and__9__those
summer days with my father,who  10 come by on a break.I needed him to see what I could do.My
father would stand there in his suit, the  11 person not in swimsuit.
      After swimming, I would go  12   his office and sit on the wooden chair in front of his big desk,
where he let me  13 anything I found in his top desk drawer.Sometimes,if I was left alone at his desk
   14 he worked in the lab, an assistant or a student might come in and tell me perhaps I shouldn"t be
playing with his  15   . But my father always   16 and said easily,"Oh, no, it"s  17   ."Sometimes he
handed me coins and told me to get  18 an ice cream…
      A poet once said,"We look at life once, in childhood; the rest is  19   ."And I think it is not only
what we "look at once, in childhood" that determines our memories,  20 the person who, in that
childhood, looks at us.
