       "Were you able to stop the ripples with your hands?" the Master asked．

       "No, of course not．"

       "__51_ you had stopped the stone from  52  the water to begin with?

短文大意：      

大师在田野中行走，这时，一个满面愁容的年轻人向他走来。

“天气这么好，神情一直保持这么严肃一定不容易。”大师说道。

“是吗？我没注意到。”年轻人一边回答，一边转身环顾四周。他的目光从周遭的景物上扫过，但却似乎无所触动。

“如果你愿意，就和我一起走走吧。”大师走到一湾平静的池水旁。“请坐。”大师用手拍了拍身旁的地面，招呼着年轻人。

“ 现在， 请找一块小石头来。”大师吩咐道。

“什么？”“一块石头。请找块小石头并把它投进池塘里。

”年轻人在身旁四处搜寻，抓了块鹅卵石使劲向远处投进了池塘。“告诉我你看到了什么。”大师询问道。

年轻人睁大了眼睛目不转睛地盯着水面，唯恐错过一丝细节。“我看到一圈圈涟漪。”“这些涟漪从何而来呢？”

“是我投入池中的石子激起的，大师。”

“请把手伸到水里，止住那些涟漪。”大师说。虽然不明白大师的想法，但当涟漪接近池边时，年轻人仍把手探入水中，却只激起了更多的涟漪。年轻人现在已经完全陷入困惑之中。事情会怎样发展下去呢？

“你刚才用手将涟漪平息了吗？”大师问。

“没有，当然没有。”

“如果你一开始没有把鹅卵石抛进水中，会怎样呢？”大师一笑，年轻人看上去并没因此而感到不快。

“今后你在生活中遇到不快时，在‘石头’入‘水’前就要去阻止它。不要费时试图去补救已经做过的事，而要在行动之前改变自己原本的打算。”大师慈祥地看着年轻人。

There are a few memories from our childhood that will stay with us forever. A few that seemed so    36    at the time may cause us to smile years later.

     One such memory is a phone call I    37    when I was about three or four years old. My mother had entered a contest on a local    38    show. Entrants（参加者）were to tell an interesting story about their    39   . Winners would receive a phone call from Mrs. Santa Claus（女圣诞老人）! Mrs. Claus would award（奖励） the lucky child free    40    of a local store.

     Well, the call came. My mother talked to Mrs. Claus and then    41    the phone to me. I didn’t    42    the fact that many people were listening to our conversation. However, the fact that this lady had a    43    connection to Santa, that was important.

     I didn’t know it yet, but my mother had    44    the attention of the contest judges by telling about the time I had    45    a wall with crayons（蜡笔）. Even I knew that this was not the kind of    46    that Santa would approve.

     Suddenly, in a very pleasant tone（语气）of    47   , Mrs. Santa Claus asked me about my art work. I    48    that this lady was the real Mrs. Claus, not a radio station actress standing in for her.

     I    49    down the phone and ran crying from the room. My crime（罪行）had not    50    unpunished. Santa would    51    know that I’d been bad!

     It turned out that I did get a    52    present from the radio station and its sponsor（赞助商）. And I guess Santa didn’t find out about the wall. Maybe he did and was in a    53    mood. In any case, my Christmas presents did not    54    a piece of coal（煤）.

     I wonder what Santa has in    55    for this year. Hopefully my wife hasn’t written Mrs. Claus any letters.

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him    36   he thought he was able to be so much more    37   than the average person.

He    38   that it all came from a(n)   39   with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to remove milk from the fridge when he    40   the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.

When his mother came in,    41   shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful    42   you have made! I have    43   seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been    44  . Would you like to get down and    45   in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"

Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to    46   everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海绵), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge.

His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a    47   experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two    48   hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can make it." The little boy learned that if he    49   the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful    50  !

This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be    51  to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just    52   for learning something new, which is,    53  , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't   54  ," we usually learn something    55   from it.

“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just   1  in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We’ve called for a (n)   2  and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.”

Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was   3 .

The doctor described the accident, which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers. When they   4  the charcoal (木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed (喷洒) too much gasoline (petrol). The flames   5  my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to his head.

When I began my high school years, I was quite interested in biology. I read lots of books of my father’s about animals, and I was   36   much educated about such matters as a 16-year-old could be.

    One Sunday afternoon, I was   37  with friends about animals. I said the whale（鲸鱼）was   __38  a mammal animal. They disagreed. Finally, I called a   39   over to help settle the matter. I knew I was  40  , so I was looking forward to the teacher  41   I was right. My friends were eager for an opposite answer.

You could have knocked me over with a feather. My   44   was hurt because I lost the argument, but that wasn’t the main reason I was too  45  to speak.
