    A young man went to visit a wise man living deep in the mountain for the wisdom of life.

    “Excuse me! Could you please tell me what the most 1 day in our lives is? Is it the day when we were born or the day we 2 ? Is it the day when fall in love or the day we succeed?” The man asked.

    “Neither. The most important day in our lives is 3.” The wise man replied calmly.

    “Why?” The young man felt more than 4, “Is it because there is a moving event taking place today?”

    “No. Nothing has happened today.”

    “Is it because of my visit?”

    “Even if nobody visited me today, today is 5 very important because today is the only wealth we have . No matter how memorable yesterday is, it has gone by like a ship going down into the sea; no matter how bright tomorrow may be, it is yet to come, but no matter how common today is, it is under our 6.”

    The young man still wanted to ask something, while the wise man 7 him and said, “When we are talking about the meaning of today, we have 8 a lot of it.”

    The young man nodded and then went down the mountain.

    Actually, today is the only 9 we have. So, what we should do now is to 10yesterday and tomorrow and catch fast today!

    "Ring…ring…" the telephone suddenly rang. Sam got up to 1 the call. It was his aunt.

    "Sam,2 are you still at home?" she asked surprisingly. Sam looked at the clock. It was already 7: 30 a.m. "Oh, my goodness! There's an important3 today, Sam shouted out, He hurried to wash his face and get4. When he was going to leave the house, he5that he didn't put away his books. He ran quickly to the 6 and put them into the bag. He then went to the bus stop to go to school as7as he could. When he got into the classroom,his classmates were8writing. "Why are you so9" asked the teacher." I'm sorry, sir," Sam answered, afraid of looking10. "It was my clock. It failed to wake me up this morning and ······""Don't say11about it ,"his teacher12him. "Don't try to come late next time!" Sam said yes and walked to his13quickly. But when he tried to do the paper, he could not14in a right way.

A young prince had just recently become King. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} So he called all the wise men from his country and ordered them to look for books for him to read and learn from.

Five years passed quickly. The wise men returned with 5,000 books full of wisdom（智慧）. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} So he ordered the wise men to condense（简缩）the books and bring them back to him. Another five years passed. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Five more years passed. The wise men brought back 50 books but the king still felt there were too many books.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#} The king took no interest in reading this book, and he didn't have time to learn from it. More problems broke out in his country—his enemies attacked and diseases affected（敌人攻击和疾病影响）his people. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Finally, the king was killed by a ruler in the neighbor country and his country was destroyed（毁灭）.

Waiting for wisdom to come to you is just a way of being lazy. Only if we set out to find wisdom can we make a difference.

A．During the next few years, the wise men worked hard to condense the 50 books into one book and show it to the king.

B．He did not have the wisdom to solve these problems.

C．To rule his country, he decided to learn all the wisdom of world.

D．The wise men brought 500 books, but the king still thought there were too many.

E．Seeing so many books, the king was so surprised that he didn't know how to start.

I still remember it was a sunny Saturday afternoon in Oklahoma City. My father 1 his two little boys to play miniature golf (迷你高尔夫). He walked up to the person at the ticket counter(售票柜台) and said, "How much is it to get2 ?"

 The young man said, "$3 for 3 and $3 for any kid older than 6. We let them in 4 if they are 6 or younger. 5 are they?" "The younger one is 3 and the older one is 7. " My father answered. The man at the ticket counter said, "Hey, Mister, did you just 6 the lottery(彩票) or something? You could 7 yourself three dollars. You could 8 me that the older one was 6;I wouldn't know the 9 . " My father said, "Yes, that might be true, 10 the kids would know the difference. " He was 11 . I did learn the difference. My father paid the 12 price for my ticket-as well as taught me an important 13 . 

 As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "Who you are speaks so loudly I can't 14 what you' re saying. " In times when ethics(道德) are more 15 than ever, make sure you set a good example for everyone around you.
