Gordon Williams’s hobby may seem strange to people when they meet it for the first time. But it is a traditional craft(手艺).He builds model ships inside old bottles.
Gordon has always loved ships, especially sailing ships from the old days. His interest in this hobby began many years ago when he visited a museum in Ottawa, Canada, where there was a display of model ships in bottles. Gordon thought the display was wonderful. But he wondered how the craftsman got the ship through the thin neck of the bottle. Gordon decided to find it out.
He found an old master craftsman who was willing to teach him the necessary skills. First, Gordon takes an old bottle. Then he puts in a layer of putty(一层油灰),carefully shaped and painted it look like the sea. Next he builds the ship. To get the ship through the neck of the bottle, Gordon holds down the masts(桅杆).Once the ship is inside the bottle, he takes a long, thin tool to raise the masts.
Gordon has completed well over one hundred models. His wish is to build bigger model ships, such as aircraft carriers. This will be more challenging, as he will have to build the ship actually inside the bottle. His hobby certainly needs time, patience and a steady hand.

【小题1】What’s their opinion when people first meet Gordon’s hobby?

Once a beggar(乞丐) had walked about five miles in the hot sun. He was quite tired and wanted to   1 . As he came to a crossing, he saw a tall tree. On one side   2  the tree he saw a board(木牌). “Take This Road To Franklin” was written on the board.
“I will rest under the   3 ,” said the beggar. “I can lie on the board while I sleep.” As the beggar   4 , a doctor rode up to him. “Wake up, beggar!” said the doctor. “I am lost. Can you tell me   5  road to take to Franklin?” “It is too hot to think,” said the beggar. “Thinking is work in such a   6  day.” “Here is a dollar,” said the doctor, “now, will you think?” “Of course, I will, sir!” said the beggar, “  7  that road to Franklin.” After a while, a driver stopped to   8  the beggar which road to take to Franklin. “You must give me a dollar,” said the beggar, “for me to start thinking.” The driver gave him a dollar. “Turn to the left,” the beggar said.
The beggar went back to   9 . Before long a farmer woke him up.
“Which is the road to Franklin?” he asked. The beggar got   10  dollar and the farmer went along the road.
“A doctor gets paid when he doctors.” said the beggar to himself, “A driver gets paid when he drives, and a farmer gets paid when he farms. But this time a beggar got paid, and all he did was thinking!”
