阅读理解     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. Worn-out.
D. Plain-looking.
2. 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 kindness
4. 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.

Sixteen years ago, Eileen Doyle"s husband, an engineer, took his four children up for an early morning cup of tea, packed a small case and was never seen or heard of again.Eileen was astonished and in a state of despair.They had been a happy family and, as far as she knew, there had been nothing wrong with their marriage. Every day of the year a small group of men and women quietly pack a few belongings and without so much as a note or a goodbye close the front door for the last time, leaving their debts, their worries and their confused families behind them.Last year, more than 1,200 men and nearly as many women were reported missing from home-the highest in 15 years.Many did return home within a year, but others rejected the past completely and are now living a new life somewhere under a different identity. To those left behind, this form of desertion (遗弃) is a terrible blow to their pride and selfconfidence. Even the finality of death might be preferable.At least it does not imply rejection or failure.Worse than that, people can be left with an unfinished marriage, not knowing whether they will have to wait several years before they are free to start a fresh life. Clinical psychologist Paul Brown believes most departures of this kind to be well planned rather than impulsive."It"s typical of the kind of personality which seems able to ignore other people"s pain and difficulties.Running away, like killing yourself, is a highly aggressive act.By creating an absence the people left behind feel guilty, upset and empty." 1. When her husband left home, Eileen Doyle ________. A. could not forgive him for taking the children B. had been expecting it to happen for some time C. could not understand why D. blamed herself for what had happened 2. Most people who leave their families behind them ________. A. do so without warning B. do so because of their debts C. come back immediately D. change their names 3. Which might be the title of the passage? A. Broken marriage B. New life after desertion C. A new social problem D. Desertion and its influence 4. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Many people choose to leave home quietly because they hate their family. B. Paul Brown regards leaving home as an act of selfishness. C. Those who are left behind will lose confidence and won"t marry again. D. Eileen"s husband, together with his four kids, was probably killed in an accident.

Once upon a time there was a painter who had just finished his course from a great painter. He wanted to assess his skills, so he decided to display one of his best works on a busy street. He put his painting at a busy street-crossing. And below it a board read - "Gentlemen, I have painted this piece. Since I"m new, I might have made some mistakes in my work. 1_ " When he came back in the evening to collect his painting, he was completely shocked to see that the whole painting was filled with crosses. 2 He burst into tears and said sadly, "I"m useless and if this is what I have learned to paint, I"m not worth teaching." The master smiled and suggested, "My son, I will prove that you are a great artist." The master told him, "Just paint the same painting once again and give it to me." Then they went to the same street the next morning and displayed the same painting. The master took out another board which read - "Gentleman, I have painted this piece. Since I"m new, I might have made some mistakes. I have put a box with colors and brushes just below. Please do me a favor. 3 "The master and the young painter went back home. They visited the place in the evening. The young painter was surprised to see that actually there was not a single correction done! 4 If you want to help people improve their behaviors, it is worth investing your effort in learning how to help people change their behaviors, attitudes and skills. Also, always remember not to get carried away or judge yourself by someone else"s criticism and feel depressed as you are the best judge to judge yourself! A. It is easy to criticize, but difficult to improve. B. Please put a cross wherever you see a mistake. C. Discouraged and broken, he ran to his master"s place. D. If you see a mistake, kindly pick up the brush and correct it. E. Criticizing has the function of helping people improve themselves.
