完形填空。 There once was a young monk(僧侣) who was building a brick wall. He took great care in 1 the
bricks, ensuring that they were level and that every row of b

ricks was   2   . He worked and worked. His
progress was   3   , due to the great care in his work, but he wasn"t   4   . He was going to build a beautiful
brick wall, his first brick wall.
     Finally, the day dawned(破晓) when he   5   his wall. But   6   he stood back and admired the fruits of
his labor, something caught his eye and made him very   7   . Despite the great   8   he took in his work,   9   , he had overlooked(忽视) two bricks that were laid slanted(倾斜的). Worst of all, the bricks
were right in the centre of the wall. Since then, whenever visitors came to the temple, the young monk
would   10   them around to all places, except the brick wall that he had built.
     One day, two elderly monks came to the temple. No matter   11   the young monk tried to detour
(绕路) to   12   the ugly brick wall, the elderly monks   13   touring the area around that brick wall .
   14   , the young monk brought them to the brick wall.
     "Oh, this is such a(n)   15   brick wall!" one of the elderly monks commented.
    "Are you   16   ? Haven"t you seen the two ugly bricks in the middle of the wall?" the young monk
said in   17   .
    "Yes, I have." replied the elderly monk.
     "But I also saw the remaining 98 good bricks that   18 this a beautiful wall!"
     You see, most of the time, we only care for things that went wrong or didn"t   19   our expectations.
We"ve forgotten the fact that they are only two bad bricks in the wall and we should not overlook the
  20   of the remaining 98 bricks.

     Tom was a clever boy, but his parents were poor, so he had to work in his spare time and during his
holidays to pay for his education. In spite of this, he managed to get to the university, but it was so
expensive to study there that during the holiday he found it necessary to get two jobs at the same time so
as to make enough money to pay for his studies.
     One summer he managed to get a job in a butcher"s shop(肉店) during the day-time, and another in a
hospital at night. In the shop, he learnt to cut meat quite nicely, so the butcher often left him to do all the
serving while he went to the back room to do the accounts(账目). In the hospital , on the other hand, he
was , of course , allowed to do the simplist jobs, like helping to lift people and to carry them from one
part of the hospital to another. Both at the butcher"s shop and at the hospital, Tom had to wear white
clothes.
     One evening at the hospital, Tom had to carry a woman from her bed to the place where she was to
have an operation. The woman was already feeling frightened at the thought of the operation before he
came to get her, but when she saw Tom, that finished her.

     Jim suffered heart problems. In conversation he expressed little joy and it seemed that his life was
drawing to a close.
     When his heart problems led to operation, Jim went through it successfully, and a full recovery was
expected. Within days, however, his heart was not beating properly. Jim was rushed back to operation,
but nothing was found to explain the cause of his illness. He died on the operating table on the day before
his 48th birthday.
     Dr. Bruce Smoller, a psychologist (心理学家), had had many conversations with him, and the more
he learned, the stranger he realized Jim"s case was. When Jim was a child, his father,a teacher, suffered a
heart attack and stayed home to recover. One morning Jim asked his father to look over his homework,
promising to come home from school at noon to pick it up. His father agreed, but when Jim returned his
father had died. Jim"s father was 48.
     "I think all his life Jim believed he killed his father, "Dr. Smoller says. "He felt that if he had not asked
him to look at his homework, his father would have lived. Jim had been troubled by the idea. The
operation was the trial(判决) he had expected for forty years. "Smoller believes that Jim willed himself
not to live to the age of 48.
     Jim"s case shows the powerful role that attitude (态度) plays in physical health, and that childhood
experiences produce far-reaching effect on the health of grownups. Although most cases are less direct
than Jim"s, studies show that childhood events, besides genes, may well cause such midlife diseases as
cancer, heart disease and mental illness.

1. Jim was sent back to operation because .

A. his heart didn"t work well
B. he expected a full recovery
C. his life was drawing to a close
D. the first one wasn"t well performed

2. What made Dr. Smoller feel strange about Jim"s case?

A. Jim died at a young age.
B. Jim died on the operating table.
C. Both Jim and his father died of the same disease.
D. Jim"s death is closely connected with his father"s

3. From Smoller"s words, we can infer that .

A. Jim"s father cared little about his study
B. Smoller agreed that Jim did kill his father
C. Jim thought he would be punished some day
D. Smoller believed Jim wouldn"t live to the age of 48

4. Which of the following could have strong effect on one"s physical health according to the text?

a. One"s genes. b. One"s life in childhood. c. One"s physical education.
d. The date of one"s birthday. e. The opinions one has about something.
