One day,Rudolf was sailing when the sky turned black and threatening. Rudolf was sailing near a dangerous rocky place and the 1       port was four hours away. The wind began to blow stronger. Rudolf was beginning to feel 2       . Then,he saw a lighthouse less than a kilometer,away. The lighthouse was on a small 3        island surrounded by deep water. At the bottom of the lighthouse were big heavy rocks. In one place the rocks 4       . There,the water was calm,protected by the rocks. Rudolf tried to sail his boat into the 5        place. At last he did. At the top of the rocks was a man." You are welcome！" The lighthouse man led Rudolf up to the living room.

  They shared a supper. Then Rudolf 6        more about the old man. He was born in this 7        lighthouse 83 years ago. His father had been the lighthouse man before him. His mother,the only woman he had ever known,taught him to read the Bible and he read it every day,he had no other books. As a violin player,Rudolf had 8        time to read much either,but then he lived in the cities. He reached down and took out his 9      ,which he loved so much.

  "What do you 10        with that,Sir?" The old man asked. For a moment Rudolf thought the man was 11      ,but his face showed he was not. Rudolf found it 12        to believe that there was someone in the world who did not know what a violin was. Yet he could not laugh. "I make music with it," he spoke in a voice not sure of what he said.

  "Music?" the old man said,not completely understanding."I have heard of it,but I have never 13        music." "One does not see music,one hears it.""Ah,yes," the old man said,and he looked at him and gave him all the 14        of a great man.

  Then something in the storm and the lighthouse and the old man lifted Rudolf away from his 15        everyday feelings. He wanted to play music just for the old man,and with the storm and the winds to 16        him,he stood and played. The moments passed,moments that were days in the birth of fire and stars,moments of the 17        of all men and finally moments that showed the greatness of all human spirit. Never before had Rudolf played with such 18       .

  Rudolf dropped his head to his chest,19       hard. The old man sat without moving,his wide old hands resting on his 20       . He thought about the storm outside,music made by God;he thought of Rudolf and his music,both were part of the works of nature,both were works of wonder.

 A water bearer in India had two large pots. One of the pots had a crack in it,and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk,the cracked pot arrived only half full.

  For two years this went on daily,with the water bearer delivering one and a half pots full of water to his master's house. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection. After two years of what it had considered to be bitter failure,it spoke one day to the water bearer by the stream.

  "I am ashamed of myself,and I want to apologize to you."

  "Why?" asked the bearer. "What are you ashamed of?"

  "Because this crack in my side I have been able for these last two years to deliver only half my load. Because of my faults,you do not get full value for your efforts," the pot explained.

  The water bearer felt sorry and said, "As we return to the master's house,I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path."Indeed,as they went up the hill,the cracked pot took notice of the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path,and this cheered it some. But at the end of the path,it still felt bad because it had still leaked half of its load,and so again the pot apologized to the bearer for its failure. The bearer said to the pot, "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 always known about your weakness,and I took advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on your side of the path,and every day while we walk back from the stream,you have watered them. For two years I have been able to pick those beautiful flowers to decorate my master's table. Without you being just the way you are,he would not have this beauty."

  Each of us has our own unique weakness. We are all cracked pots. But if we will allow it,the Lord will use our weakness to grace His Father's table. In God's great economy,nothing goes to waste. Don't be ashamed of your weakness. Acknowledge them,and you too can be the cause of beauty. Know that in our weakness we find our strength.

(   ) 5. How did the cracked pot feel?

   A. Desperate. B. Proud. C. Guilty. D. Faulty.

(   ) 6. The bearer was a clever person because         .

   A. he made use of the weakness of the cracked pot

   B. he picked beautiful flowers for his master every day

   C. he felt sorry for the cracked pot and tried to comfort it

   D. he carried only one and a half pot of water every day

(   ) 7. Everyone has weakness. The proper attitude towards it is to        .

   A. accept it and let it be

   B. take advantage of it

   C. do all you can to cover it up

   D. feel shameful and discouraged

(   ) 8. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means         .

   A. nobody should waste anything

   B. everyone was born to be helpful

   C. God is saving,he won't waste anything

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來源： 題型：

  Most,if not all,Chinese are financially better off thanks to over 30 years of reform and opening up. But are we any happier?

  Various surveys and rankings attempt to answer this question.

  Though sociologists have presented varying percentages based on different criteria,their answers tend to find we are generally happier,and the number of optimists rises each year.

  But each survey reveals a worrisome fact that a sizable portion,10 percent at the lowest,of respondents were not content with their lives or not hopeful about the future.

  We cannot be content with the fact that at least 130 million of our countrymen are not happy.

  Although a sense of happiness remains a luxury for many of our compatriots because of poverty,we agree financial wellbeing is not the sole determinant of happiness.

  For most of us,except the extremely rich and naturally born optimists,there simply are too many variables that may kill the feeling of happiness.

  These include,but are not limited to,rising housing prices,tight and instable job market,backbreaking schooling expenses and medical bills. 

  The most common one,however,is a low sense of security.

  An eyecatching characteristic of our economy is its high savings rate,at 46 percent now.

  Explaining the rise in savings and drop in spending in their city,Beijing municipal statisticians pointed that in the low-and-middle-income group there was too much uncertainty regarding employment,income,housing,medical situations,and education.

  How can you feel happy when you always have to brace ( = prepare) yourself for the unexpected?

  It may be beyond the government's reach,to guarantee higher income for every citizen. But it does have a burden to create an environment where all citizens can feel a reasonable level of security.

  There was an inclusive '* safety network" when the government encouraged officials to leave public offices in 1980s in attempts to downsize public service. The idea was to offer officials secure pay and benefits so they would not have to worry about guarantees after their departure from positions of power.

  It is time the government displayed similar creativity and resolve to address a much larger sense of uncertainty.

(   ) 1. The underlined word "burden" in the passage means         .

   A. a heavy load

   B. a duty or responsibility

   C. the main theme of an article

   D. capacity

(   ) 2. According to the passage,the reason that most people involved in the surveys feel unhappy is that         .

   A. they are faced with financial problems

   B. they are not naturally born optimists

   C. they are lack of sense of security

   D. they are bothered by the rising prices

(   ) 3. From the passage,we know that the high savings rate shows that        .

   A. life for most Chinese is no longer a daily struggle for basic necessities

   B. the country's social security system is incomplete

   C. the public are too busy to spend

   D. it is not easy to change this traditional custom

(   ) 4. The writer offers the example of "safety network" is to show        .

   A. the officials in China can enjoy better social welfare

   B. the advantages of a policy

   C. a way to solve the problem mentioned above

   D. it is not necessary for most people to worry about their future
