  Once upon a time,a king, in the company of his ministers, went to the imperial garden for a walk.When he was walking around a pond, a strange idea   1   upon him and he asked, “How many buckets(桶)of water are there in the pond?” The ministers looked at each other,   2   to give an answer.

  Rather disappointed, the king ordered, “You have three days’ grace.Anyone who offers an answer will be handsomely rewarded.Those who fail will be punished.”

  The time limit was due(到期的)in the twinkling of an eye, yet the ministers were still at their wit’s end.At this time a child appeared who declared that he knew the answer.The king told his   3   ministers to go with the child for the measurement.To their   4  , the child refused the suggestion with a smile, “It is very easy.No   5   to go to the pond.” This made the king laugh   6  , “All right, let us know what it is.” The child blinked and said, “That   7   on the size of the bucket.If it is as big as the pond, there is one bucket of water; if it is   8   as big, two buckets; if one third as big, three buckets; if…” “Stop! That’s it.You’ve got the   9  .” The king was satisfied and the child was rewarded as expected.

  Why did the ministers feel it so   10   to settle the problem? Because they fell in a trap, following a   11   way of thinking.People’s thinking often goes a habitual way-the beaten track of straightforwardness.It is a static(静态的)way presupposing every object definite and certain, i.e.the size of the pond and the bucket should be clearly   12  .If one of them is unknown, it will be difficult to do the measurement, let alone   13  .Why not change your mode of thought-from static to dynamic(动态的, from concrete to   14  ? If you adopt an indirect way and try to find out the proportional relation between the pond and the bucket, you’ll get an answer-flexible yet adequate to solve the problem.

  Sometimes to get out of the difficulty one must change one’s way of thinking, or simply change one’s   15   to a problem.

  The government wanted to put __1__ a big office building in the capital and had to choose an engineering company to do __2__ work.

So they appointed(任命,委派), a government official to __7__ the various companies' offers, decide which was the most suitable, and then advise the Minister of Works which of them to choose.

  

  After some months, the choice was __8__ and work was about to begin __9__ one of the companies which had not been successful complained(抱怨)to the Minister They said, the official who had been responsible for __10__ him on the choice of a company to do the work had accepted bribes(贿赂).

  

  The Minister at once ordered an inquiry(调查)into the whole matter, and after a month had __11__ that the official had __12__ taken bribes. He therefore sent for him and asked for __13__.

  

  The official admitted that he had taken big bribes. “But,” “ he said, I did not just take one from the __14__ to which I recommended that you __15__ the work. I took a bribe from each company and promised to give them the work.”

  

  “Well, then,” said the Minister, “ __16__ did you finally make your choice? Did you choose the one .that gave you the biggest bribe.”

  “Certainly, __17__ , sir.” answered the official, deeply __18__ that the Minister should scold him __19__ such dishonesty. “I was very careful to take __20__ the same bribe,from each of the companies that were trying to get the job, and then choose the one that I thought would do the work best and most cheaply, of course.”

CLOZE TEST

  In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive.Some experts say the   1   is to make jobs more varied(多样的).But do more varied jobs   2   greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that   3   variety certainly makes the worker's life more enjoyable, it doesn't   4   make him work harder.As far as increasing productivity is concerned, then,   5   is not an important factor.

  Other experts feel that giving the worker   6   to do his job in his own way is important, and there is no doubt that this is true.The   7   is that this kind of freedom can't easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated(复杂的)machinery which must be used in a   8   way.Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to   9   it.

  Another important   10   is how much each worker   11   to the product he is making.In most factories the worker   12   only one small part of the product.Some car factories are now   13   with having many small production lines rather than one large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his   14  .It would seem that not only is degree of worker contribution an important factor   15   it is one we can do something about.

  To what   16   does more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is   17   .But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring.  18   just lets them enjoy their spare time more.A   19   argument may explain demands for shorter working hours.Perhaps if we   20   making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.

   The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out. —Thomas Macaulay
  Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs Nanette O'Neill gave an arithmetic 26 to our class. When the papers were 27 she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the 28 mistakes throughout the test.
  There is nothing really new about 29 in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs O'Neill 30 even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to 31 after class. I was one of the twelve.
  Mrs O'Neill asked 32 questions, and she didn't 33 us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the 34 words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to 35 these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.
  I don't 36 about the other eleven boys. Speaking for 37 I can say:it was the most important single 38 of my life. Thirty years after being 39 to Macaulay's words, they 40 seem to me the best yardstick(准绳), because they give us a 41 to measure ourselves rather than others.
  42 of us are asked to make 43 decisions about nations going to war of armies going to battle. But all of us are called 44 daily to make a great many personal decisions. 45 the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket 46 turned over to the policeman? Should the 47 change received at the store be forgotten or 48? Nobody will know except 49. But you have to live with yourself, and it is always 50 to live with someone you respect.
