阅读理解

   Once upon a time, there was a young man who liked puppets (木偶) so much that he became an apprentice(学徒) to a master puppet-maker. Sadly, the young man was not so clever, and his teacher and the other apprentices were always telling him he had no talent for making puppets, and that he would achieve nothing in making puppets.

    Even so, he was fond of it so much that he worked day after day to improve himself. Though he made every effort, they would always find something wrong with his puppets, and the poor puppets ended up being thrown out of the workshop.

    The young man wasn't going to give up, so he decided that from then on he would spend all his time making just one kind of puppet. Whenever he found a fault in his puppet he would throw it away and start again. Years passed, and with each new attempt his puppet became a little bit better. By that time, his puppet was much better than anything that the other apprentices could make, but he kept making improvements. Living like that, the man wasn't making any money, and many people laughed at how poor he was.

    By the time he was an old man, his puppet was truly wonderful. Finally, after so many years of work, he finished work on his puppet, and said, "I can't find anything wrong with it. This time it is perfect." And for the first time in all those years, instead of throwing his puppet away, he put it up on the shelf, feeling truly satisfied and cheerful.

    It is well-known that the perfect puppet, Pinocchio, came to life after that, had a thousand adventures, and gave that old man –whose name was Geppetto—more joy than any other famous puppet—maker had ever got from any of their creations.

(2)、What was the ending of the poor puppets which were made by the young man?
A、They were kept by the young others. B、They were thrown away by the young man. C、They were shared by others. D、They were collected by his teacher.

One day, I walked into a restaurant for lunch. There were so many {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (顾客) there that the waiters and waitresses were all very {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (忙碌的). I felt very uncomfortable. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (幸运地), I found an empty seat and sat down. After a long time, a waiter came over to me and said politely, "Sir, sorry for keeping you {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (等候). May I take your order?" I asked for a beef hamburger, an apple pie and a Diet Coke. "Sorry, sir. We don't have Diet Coke," he said. I told him that a glass of water would be fine.

Soon the waiter returned with my food and water. After telling me to enjoy my food, he {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (仓促) away. Minutes later, he came back again with a surprise—a Diet Coke. "Where did you get it?" I asked. "I bought it from the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (便利的) store around the corner," he answered. Then said, "But you work all the time. How did you find the time to get it?" "It's my pleasure to offer you good {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (服务), sir," he said. "I don't want to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (使失望) you." Later, I knew he was also a {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (工作努力的) waiter.

Two months later, I went back to that restaurant. The waiter had become the manager of the restaurant. It wasn't amazing for me.

What he did and how he behaved influence me a lot in my life. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (记住) that doing small things can bring a big result. Just go for it.
