back bad express feel it loud luck simple sweet thank two warm

Once upon a time, a young man came across a spring(泉水) of clear water while crossing the desert. The water was very sweet, and he filled his leather container(皮革容器) so that he could bring some 【1】 to his teacher. After a four-day journey, he presented the water to his teacher.

The old man took a deep drink, smiled 【2】and thanked his

student very much for the sweet water. The young man returned to his village with a happy heart. After a while, the teacher let a 【3】 student taste the water. He spat (吐) it out, saying it was terrible. It was clear that the water had become no longer fresh sweet because of the old leather container. The student questioned his teacher, “Master, the water tasted strange. Why did you still like it?” The teacher replied, “You 【4】 tasted the water while I tasted the gift. The water was the container for an act of love and kindness and nothing could be 【5】 .”

After reading the story, we can understand that when we receive a chocolate as a gift from a child, we get more than the chocolate【6】 . What we should do properly is to express 【7】 naturally to him or her because we love the idea within the gift.

Gratitude (感谢) doesn’t always come naturally. 【8】, most span>children and many grown-ups like only the thing given rather than the 【9】 shown in it. We should remind ourselves and teach our children about the beauty of feelings and 【10】of gratitude. After all, gifts from the heart are really gifts of the heart.

【解析】

试题分析：本文通过介绍一个孩子在沙漠里用皮革容器给老师带回些泉水，由于皮革的原因，里面的水很难喝，但是老师却觉得很好。因为他认为喝的仅仅是水，而是在品尝礼物。这个故事告诉我们学会表达感谢，应该提醒我们自己，并且教孩子关于情感美和感激之情。

【1】bring…back“把……带回”，故此处为back。句意：他把他的皮革容器装满，以便于他能带一些泉水回去给他的老师。

【2】根据thanked his student very much for the sweet water.可知老人感谢学生给他带回来泉水，因此是暖心的笑了。修饰动词smile，故用副词warmly。句意：这个老人喝了一大口，暖心的笑了，非常感谢他的学生带回这甜甜的水。

【3】a+序数词，表示再，又。结合句意，此处除了带回泉水的学生的，是另一个，故用序数词second。句意：过了一会儿，这为老师让他另一个学生品尝这水。

【4】老师喝水比学生喝水，体会的东西要多，因此此处说学生喝水，仅仅是喝水，体会不到其他的东西。修饰动词taste，故此处用副词simply。句意：这位老师回答说：“你喝的仅仅是水，而我尝的是礼物。”

【5】根据It was clear that the water had become no longer fresh sweet because of the old leather container.因为容器的原因这水不在新鲜，不在甜。但是老师认为学生的爱没有什么比这更好，更甜，故此处用比较级sweeter。句意：水是爱喝善意的一个表现形式，没有什么比这更甜。

【6】此处修饰the chocolate，故用反身代词itself，强调巧克力本身。句意：我们收到的远比巧克力本身要多。

【7】根据Gratitude (感谢) doesn’t always come naturally.可知此处指的是表达感谢，故为thanks。句意：我们应该适当地做的就是去自然地表达感谢给他或她。

【8】根据前文的What we should do properly is to express 7 naturally to him 可知我们应该自然地表达出感谢，而此处的most children and many grown-ups like only the thing given rather than the 9shown in it.是说很多人不表达自己的感谢，因此并不是如作者所想，因此是不幸的。作为状语修饰整个句子，故用副词Unluckily。句意：不幸的是，大多数孩子以及许多成年人只喜欢给东西而不是表达。

【9】根据前文的What we should do properly is to express 7 naturally to him 可知此处指的是表达，故为expressions。句意：不幸的是，大多数孩子以及许多成年人只喜欢给东西而不是表达。

【10】此空前有 and 一词，而 and 为并列 连词，其前后所填词词性应相同，词形应相近。因空前是“the beauty…” beauty 为名词，空后为“…of gratitude”中 of 前应填名 词。再 根 据 “the beauty of feelings” 及上下文逻辑得出应填 “feelings”。

feelings。句意：我们应该提醒我们自己，并且教孩子关于情感美和感激之情。
