There once lived a young man who was always unhappy and complained about his poverty. One day,
he went to see a fortune teller to inquire how to become __1__. The fortune teller said, "Young man, you
are already wealthy now."
"Where is my wealth?" the young man asked__2__.
"It is with you. Your __3__ is (are) your wealth. You use them to see this world. You use them to see
all the __4__ things in this world. You can read, study and learn. Your hands are your wealth. You can use
them to work. You can use them to hug your beloved ones. Your __5__ are your wealth. You can go to
any places. . . " the fortune teller said.
"You call these wealth? Everyone has them, " the young man said.
"These are wealth. What you have now are not what others can luckily have. Are you __6__ to give your eyes to me? I am willing to give you a lot of money to __7__ for them, " the fortune teller said.
"No, are you crazy?I am not going to exchange my eyes for money! They are __8__ to me!" the young man __9__.
"Precisely, these are wealth to you. You will not exchange them for money. Furthermore, although a lot
of people have their wealthy things, they do not __10__them or treasure them. They are not __11__ to
Heaven for giving them their wealth. They even complain that Heaven is unfair to them. Do you want to
__12__ one of them before you will treasure them?" the fortune teller said.
Everyone is wealthy. But we should not __13__ it for granted. We need to treasure our wealth, take

| | 阅读理解 | It was Saturday. As always, it was a busy one, for "Six days shall you labor and do all your work"
was taken seriously back then. Outside, Father and Mr Patrick next door were busy chopping firewood.
Inside their own houses, Mother and Mrs. Patrick were engaged in spring cleaning.
Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites.Now, even at the risk of having
Brother caught to beat carpets, they had sent him to the kitchen for more string(线). It seemed there
was no limit to  the heights to which kites would fly today.
My mother looked at the sitting room, its furniture disordered for a thorough sweeping. Again she
cast a look toward the window. "Come on, girls! Let"s take string to the boys and watch them fly the
kites a minute."
On the way we met Mrs. Patrick, laughing guiltily as if she were doing something wrong, together
with her girls.
There never was such a day for flying kites! We played all our fresh string into the boys" kites and
they went up higher and higher. We could hardly distinguish the orangecolored spots of the kites. Now
and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dancing up and down in the wind, and finally
bringing it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again.
Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. Our mothers took their turn, laughing like
schoolgirls. I think we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children
forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. "Perhaps it"s like this in the kingdom of heaven," I
thought confusedly.
It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to the houses. I suppose we had some sort
of supper. I suppose there must have been a surface tidyingup, for the house on Sunday looked clean
and orderly enough. The strange thing was, we didn"t mention that day afterward. I felt a little
embarrassed. Surely none of the others had been as excited as I. I locked the memory up in that
deepest part of me where we keep "the things that cannot be and yet they are".
The years went on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment, trying to get
some work out of the way while my threeyearold insistently cried her desire to "go park, see duck."
"I can"t go!" I said. "I have this and this to do, and when I"m through I"ll be too tired to walk that far."
My mother, who was visiting us, looked up from the peas she was shelling."It"s a wonderful day,"she
offered, "really warm, yet there"s a fine breeze. Do you remember that day we flew kites?"
I stopped in my dash between stove and sink. The locked door flew open and with it a rush of
memories. "Come on," I told my little girl. "You"re right, it"s too good a day to miss."
Another decade passed. We were in the aftermath (余波)of a great war. All evening we had been
asking our returned soldier, the youngest Patrick Boy, about his experiences as a prisoner of war. He
had talked freely, but now for a long time he had been silent. What was he think ing of-what dark and
horrible things?
"Say!" A smile slipped out from his lips."Do you remember -no, of course you wouldn"t. It probably
didn"t make the impression on you as it did on me."
I hardly dared speak."Remember what?"
"I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp (战俘营), when t hings weren"t too good. Do you
remember the day we flew the kites?" | | 1. Mrs.Patrick was laughing guiltily because she thought ________. | A. she was too old to fly kites
