    Christmas is coming. Jenny and her family are very happy. They are getting {#blank#}1{#/blank#} for the festival.

    Jenny is buying some Christmas {#blank#}2{#/blank#} with her mother. Her father is cleaning the house. He {#blank#}3{#/blank#} hard. Her grandmother is watching a TV programme about preparing (准备) special {#blank#}4{#/blank#} What is her grandfather doing? Oh, he is decorating (装饰) a big Christmas {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

    A man named Bill once visited a temple that was still being built. He saw a sculptor(雕刻家) {#blank#}1{#/blank#}a sculpture. As he watched the man work on the sculpture, he noticed that there was a similar sculpture lying nearby.

    He felt strange and asked the sculptor, "Why are you creating two{#blank#}2{#/blank#}sculptures? Do you need two to put in different{#blank#}3{#/blank#}?"

    "No." the man said without looking up, "We need only one, but the first one became damaged(损害) {#blank#}4{#/blank#}I could finish it, so I'm working on a new one."

    Bill picked up the damaged sculpture and examined it{#blank#}5{#/blank#}. But he couldn't find {#blank#}6{#/blank#}wrong with it．

    "Where is the damage?" he asked.

    "There is a scratch(划痕) on the sculpture's nose." the sculptor said while{#blank#}7{#/blank#}his work.

    Bill then asked, "Where are you going to place the sculpture?"

    The sculptor replied that it would be placed on a platform which is 20 feet in height. "If the sculpture is up that high,{#blank#}8{#/blank#}is going to notice that there is a scratch on the nose?" Bill asked.

    The sculptor{#blank#}9{#/blank#}his work, looking up at the man and said, "I will know it."

    The sculptor chose a high standard of excellence in his work. Even if other people didn't notice it, it mattered to him that his work should be of the{#blank#}10{#/blank#}quality(质量). This is an attitude we should work hard to have.
