　　A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on each end of a pole which he carried across his neck．One of the pots had a crack(裂縫)in it, and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master's house, the cracked pot arrived only half full．

　　This went on daily．The perfect pot was proud of its accomplishment．Of course, the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection．After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream．

　　“I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologise to you．”

　　“Why?”asked the bearer．“What are you ashamed of?”

　　“I have been able, for these past two years, to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back．And you do no get full value for y our efforts”the pot explained．

　　The water bearer felt sorry for the old cracked pot, and in his compassion he said, “As we return to the master's house, I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path．”

　　As they went up the hill, the cracked pot took notice of the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path, and this cheered it a little．

　　The bearer said,“Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?”That is because I have known about you, and I took advantage of it．I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walked back from the stream, you have watered them．For two years, I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate my master's table．“Without you being just the way you are, he would not have this beauty to grace his house．”

（湖北省部分重點中學(xué)2009屆高三第二次聯(lián)考）

D

y brother-in-1aw opened the drawer of my sister’s cupboard and took out a package．He said。“This is a new silk slip（襯裙）．Jane bought it in New York nine years ago．She never wore it．She was saving it for a special occasion．I guess this is the occasion．”

It was an exquisite（精美的）handmade silk slip．The price tag on it was still attached．

He took the slip from me and put it on the bed，with the other clothes we were taking to the mortician（殯儀員）．His hands fingered on the soft material for a moment, then he shut the drawer and turned to me．“Don’t ever save anything for a special occasion．Every day you’re alive is a special occasion．’’

His words have changed my mind．I’m spending more time with my family and less time on meetings．I’m trying to recognize these moments now and cherish them．I’m not saving anything．I wear my good skirt to the market if I feel like it．I can pay $28·49 for a small bag of  groceries．I’m not saving my good perfume for special parties．If something is worth seeing or hearing or doing，I want to see and hear and do it now．“Someday” has disappeared in my vocabulary．

I’m not sure what Jane would have done if she had known she’d not be here for the tomorrow we all take for granted．I’m guessing Jane would have called family members and a few close friends．She might have apologized to her former friends for their past quarrels．She’d have gone out for a Chinese dinner, her favorite food．

I’m trying hard not to put off, hold back。or save anything that would add laughter to our fives．Every morning I open my eyes。I tell myself that every day, every minute，every breath is a gift．

73．Why didn’t Jane wear the brand new silk slip?

A．She meant to wear it on her death．     B．She wanted to save it for her sister．

      C．She thought it was too dear．               D．She saved it for a special occasion

74．After Jane’s death．the author begins to             ．

A．treasure the simple pleasure of life               B．spend more time having meetings

C．save more money for necessities                 D．care about her special parties

75．What does the underlined sentence “Someday” has disappeared in my vocabulary．”（in Paragraph4）mean?

A．I prefer to leave out the word “someday” in my speech．

B．“Someday” is found missing from my old dictionar．

C．I will not delay enjoying the pleasure of life

D．I decide not to enjoy something good at the moment·

76．It can be inferred from the passage that              ．

A．it makes sense to follow our dream

B．we tend to leave good things until the last minute

C．we should take pleasure in our work

D．it is meaningless to save something for the future
