Since they would share the water, they went down the mountain together to fetch water. But the carrying pole is only     5   enough for one bucket. The two monks were unable to     6    the shared load on their carrying pole without shaking the contents of the two buckets all over the short monk.

When the young monk began to see his guest as     10  , the other monk began to see his host as unreasonable. Then a     11   monk came. The     12   of the third monk urged everyone to expect that someone else would take on the chore. As a result, no one fetched water though everybody was     13   . One night, a rat jumped and knocked the candleholder（烛台）, leading to a devastating(毁坏性的)    14    in the temple. The three monks finally united together to put out the fire.

One of my fondest Christmas memories was also one of our family’s bleakest（最令人沮丧的）.We were just little kids , and on Christmas Day mom   21 us all around her to tell us ,  22  ,that there would be no presents because all we really wanted was to  23  for our daddy.He was very sick . I don’t remember anything else except four little girls surrounding my mother, crying   24  a miracle（奇迹）
At that very moment ,someone   25  loudly on the door.  26  Behind him was a merry group of soldiers from the Army base where my father   27  as a minister . News had  28   that we were in trouble ,and his colleagues knew we needed some  29  .
With all the excitement ,even my dad  30   in a blanket to keep warm , came down and sat in front of a roaring fire in our room to watch his children be  31  by good Samaritants（乐善好施的人）. The presents were unwrapped , and we girls  32   packages and found a doll each and four board games.
What is  33   to me is that I don’t even remember what sickness my father was suffering from.I 34   remember an evening of laughter and  35   There were no expensive toys but    36  moments of friendship and fun given by young men who knew that a family was having a(n)  37  time . They gave their time and their  38  to little children who needed to laugh.
The most important thing in life aren’t things . And what about the true  39   of holidays ? I hope we all are able to remember a thing about the holidays that stirs(搅动)our heart , that isn’t really a thing at all, but the smile on a child’s face because we take a moment to hug or   40 a tear.

My parents ran a small restaurant in Seattle. It was open twenty-four hours a day, six days a week. And my first real job, when I was six years old, was   36  the diners’ shoes. My father had done it when he was young, so he taught me  37  to do it well, telling me to  38  to shine the shoes again if the customer wasn’t  39 .
I was proud of working in the restaurant   40  I was also working for the good of the family. But my father   41  said that I had to meet certain standards(标准) to be part of the team. I   42  to be on time, hard-working, and polite to the  43 . I was    44  paid for the work I did at the restaurant. One day I made the mistake of suggesting to Dad that he  45   give me $10 a week. He said, “OK. How about you paying me for three meals a day you have here? And for the times you bring in your friends  46  free soft drinks?” He   47  the amount of money I owed him, about $40 a week.
I remember returning to Seattle after being  48  in the US Army for about two years. I had just been promoted（升职） to Captain at that time. And full of pride, I walked into my parents’ restaurant, but the   49  thing Dad said was, “How about your   50  up tonight?” I couldn’t  51  my ears! I am an officer in the Army! But   52  didn’t matter. As far as Dad was concerned, I was just  53  member of the team. I reached for the mop(拖把).Working for Dad has taught me that the devotion(奉献) to a  54  is above all. It has nothing to do with  55  that team is for a family restaurant or the US Army.

One of my fondest memories as a child is going by the river and sitting idly on the bank. There I would   16  the peace and quiet, watch the water rush   17  and listen to the singing of birds and the rustling of   18  in the trees. I would also watch the bamboo trees   19  under pressure from the wind and watch them   20  gracefully to their original position after the wind had   21  .
When I think about the bamboo tree's ability to bounce back to its original position, the word "resilience" comes to mind. When used in   22  to a person this word means the ability to readily   23  from shock, depression or any other situation that stretches the limits of a person's   24  .
Have you ever felt like you are at your   25  point? Thankfully, you have survived the experience to live to talk about it.
During the   26  you probably felt a mix of emotions that threatened your health. You felt emotionally drained,   27  exhausted and you most likely stood   28   physical symptoms.
Life is a   29  of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy   30   that take you close to your breaking point, bend,   31   don't break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.
A   32  of hope will take you through the unpleasant ordeal (考验). With   33   for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be. The unpleasant ordeal may be easier to   34  if the final result is worth having.
If life gets   35  and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo tree, bend, but don't break!

People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed．It is not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative （合作的）and another is competitive．
Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of questions．They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors．There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought （学派）on the matter have developed．As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from one another, and there is a great deal of debate between proponents of each theory．The controversy（argument) is often referred to as “nature and nurture（教育）”．
Those who support the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic factors．That our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics, and behavior is central to this theory．Taken to an extreme(走极端）, this theory maintains that our behavior is predetermined to such a degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts（本能）．
Proponents of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claimed that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act．A behaviorist, B．F．Skinner, sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings．The behaviorists’ view of the human being is quite mechanistic（机械论的）; they maintain that, like machines, humans’ respond to environmental stimuli（刺激） as the basis of their behavior．
Socially and politically, the consequences of these two theories are far-reaching．In the US, for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence tests．This leads some proponents to conclude that blacks are genetically lower in status than whites．Behaviorists, on the contrary, say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often robbed of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy, and that, as a result, they do not develop the same responses that whites do．
Either of these theories cannot yet fully explain human behavior．In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes. That the controversy will continue for a long time is certain．
小题1:This passage is mainly concerned with             ．
A．relation between personality and behavior
B．relation between behavior and environment
C．different accounts of patterns of human behavior
D．different theories of the formation of human behavior
小题2:The underlined word " proponents'' in paragraph 2 means          ．

小题3:In paragraph 5 , the author mainly writes about          ．
A．the considerable（值得考虑的） influence of the two theories
B．differences between the blacks and whites
C．racial discrimination in the United States
D．different responds to intelligence tests
小题4:What's the author's purpose in writing the passage?
A．To call our attention to the changes of human behavior．
B．To urge scientists to do more research in social science．
C．To give us a detailed explanation of human behavior．
D．To present an argument in the field of social science．
Because my family were not going to be helpful, I decided I would look for one all by myself and not tell them about it till I’d got one.

Whenever we hear about “the homeless”, most of us think of the Developing world. But the  36  is that homelessness is everywhere. For example, how many of us would expect to see people living on the streets of a  37  country like Germany?
Kurt Muller and his wife Rita have spent eleven years making   38 for the homeless of Berlin, Germany’s capital. They first   39  one long hot summer when most Germans were   40  on holiday. Kurt and his wife stayed at home, made sandwiches,   41  a table in the street and gave food to the homeless.
The Mullers soon realized that food and clothing weren’t  42   . “What these people also need is warmth and  43  ,” says Rita. The Mullers didn’t   44  to give their phone number to the street people and told them to phone anytime. Rita  45   there was somebody at home to answer the phone and their home was always  46  to anyone who couldn’t face another night on the street.
The couple were soon  47   all their time and money, so Kurt visited food and clothing companies to   48  donations. Today, over thirty companies  49 donate food and other goods to the cause and volunteers help  to  50  them to the homeless. The public also give clothes and money and a shoe producer   51  new shoes.
Kurt and Rita receive no   52  for their hard work. “ We feel like parents,” says Rita, “and parents shouldn’t  53   money for helping their children. The love we get on the streets is our salary.” Though Rita admits she often gets   54  . She says she will continue with her work because she likes the feeling of having made a   55  in the world.
