3."Dr.Papaderos,what is the meaning of life?"The usual laughter followed,and people stirred(骚动)to go.
Papaderos held up his hand and looked at me for a long time,asking ith his eyes if I was serious and seeing from my eyes that I was.
"I will answer your question."
Taking his wallet out of his hip pocket,he fished into a leather billfold and brought out a very small round mirror,about the size of a quarter.And what he said went like this:
"When I was a small child,during the war,we were very poor and we lived in a remote village.One day,on the road,I found the broken pieces of a mirror.
"I tried to find all the pieces and put them together,but it was not possible,so I kept only the largest piece.This one,and,by scratching it on a stone,I made it round.I began to play with it as a toy and became fascinated by the fact that I could reflect light into dark places where the sun woul never shine-in deep holes and cracks and dark closets.It became a game for me to get light into the most inaccessible (难达到的) places I could find.
"As I became a man,I grew to understand that this was not just a child's game but a metaphor for what I might do with my life.I came to understand that I am not the light or the source of light.But light-truth,understanding,and knowledge-is there,and it will shine in many dark places onlyif I reflect it.
"I am a fragment(碎片)of a mirror whose whole design and shape l do not know.Nevertheless,with what I have I can reflect light into the dark places of this world-into the black places in the hearts of men-and change some things in some people.Perhaps others may see and do likewise.This is what I am about.This is the meaning of my life."
21.Why did Dr.Papaderos like the small round mirror so much as a child?B
A.Because he was too poor to afford other toys.
B.Because it could shine the places where the sun couldn't reach.
C.Because he believed it would bring good luck to him.
D.Because it told him a lot about what life really meant to him.
22.The underlined"metaphor"in the 8th paragraph most probably meansA.
A.symbol B.source C.light D.purpose
23.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?D
A.A Special Game in the Childhood B.A Piece of Mirror
