The Arhat Who Bares His Heart (开心罗汉) Here is a story about one of the 18 arhats (阿罗汉) in the Buddhist temple. Shubo Jia (戌博迦) was a crown prince. He did not really want to become the __21__ of his small state. Instead, he wanted to leave the world of red dust and follow the Buddha and find enlightenment. But he __22__ he had responsibilities to his kingdom.

All that was in his __26__ was the Buddha nature. His brother did not believe any of this, for, in his mind, whatever the Buddha nature might be, it could not __27__ with the joy of running a kingdom, even a small kingdom and having everyone obey one’s every command. And so his brother suspected that Shubo Jia was __28__ trying to fool him with some unworthy ruse. SHubo Jia protested that he was completely __29__. And with that, he pulled __30__ his gown, and the face of a Buddha was seen peering out from the middle of his chest, for indeed in his heart there was only the Buddha nature.

A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better. A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises(出现) from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered. There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar(奇怪的) that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend. No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was. 41. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is _______. A. repeated without any change B. treated as a joke C. made some changes by the parent D. set in the present 42. According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story is _______. A. in a realistic setting B. heard for the first time C. repeated too often D. told in a different way 43. The advantage claimed(提出) for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it _______. A. makes them less fearful B. develops their power of memory C. makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid of D. encourages them not to have strange beliefs 44. The author’s mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that _______. A. fairy stories are still being made up B. there is some misunderstanding about fairy tales C. people try to modernize old fairy stories D. there is more concern for children"s fears nowadays 45. One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that _______. A. they are full of imagination B. they just make up the stories which are far from the truth C. they are not interesting D. they make teachers of history difficult to teach |
Have you ever simply wanted to give without expecting anything in return? It’s 21 to do. Most look for a reward in some way.

Two sisters from Georgia 24 from the crowd in my mind---they put their money together to give to “My sister’s House”, a 25 that helps battered(受虐的) women and children.

This story made me realize how often I expect things from others and how 28 I give things in return. I don’t have a thousand dollars to spend on a stranger, but I do have a heart that is full of love and generosity. I now hold doors open for others and 29 at people I don’t know, because a smile is contagious(有感染力的) and I try to bring as much happiness as I can into others’ lives.
