__3__ for a moment to look after the horses,__4__,the monkey let himself down from the tree. He
snatched (抓) the peas and filled his__5__and both hands as full as they could__6__. Then he climbed up the tree and sat there, eating happily.
Suddenly one pea fell.
"Oh dear! Oh my pea!" cried the monkey. The other peas__7__to drop out of his mouth. He__8__his hands in despair(绝望地), and the peas fell out of his hands too, but he took on__9__. All he thought of
was that one pea was gone,__10__ he climbed down the trunk to hunt for his lost pea on the ground. At
this time, the men came back. When they saw a monkey__11__with their pots, they all__12__their arms
and shouted, "Shoo! Shoo!" Then they picked up stones and began to __13__the monkey with them. The monkey was so__14__that he gave one jump to the nearest__15__ , and swung himself up to the top of
the tree.
"After all," said he to himself, "it was__16__ one pea." But he ought to have thought of that __17__, for now all the other peas had gone too.

graduation paper.
Holding a patient questionnaire 1 some simple yes-or-no questions, I walked towards a
43-year-old patient who lay in bed alone. I was worried whether she would approve of my demands at
such a late hour. _2_ , she treated it with consideration. Soon I finished and prepared to leave. _ 3 I
could stand up, she spoke up in a weak voice asking where I was from and why I was working so late in
the evening.
Then she started talking about herself as well as her 4_ , "My husband died about a year ago, _5 me the only breadwinner of my family. My pay as a cleaner is 6 enough for me and my three kids. I
don"t know what my children would be if something bad happened to me."
I didn"t know what to say. I desperately tried to remember the lessons from a communication skills
class I had taken years earlier, but my mind was__7__.
Without realizing it, I had begun__8_her hand. Now that I didn"t have anything to say, I just sat quietly while she talked. That"s when it occurred to me that she was not expecting any __9__from me. She 10 wanted me to listen. All 1 did was nod my head as a way of showing my_ 11_.
The conversation went on for about 20 minutes. Finally, she stopped talking. "I"m very sorry for keeping you here to listen to my problems, but I feel 12 now. I had no one to 13 out my problems to. Thank
you so much, doctor."
Sometimes patients do not need expensive medicine or advanced technology. 14 , they just need
someone with the 15 to lend an ear and spare a little of their time. For me, that is one of the best things a doctor can do for a patient, doesn"t it?

Once upon a time there was a painter who had just finished his course from a great painter. He wanted to assess his skills, so he decided to display one of his best works on a busy street.
He put his painting at a busy street-crossing. And below it a board read - "Gentlemen, I have painted
this piece. Since I"m new, I might have made some mistakes in my work. 1_ "
When he came back in the evening to collect his painting, he was completely shocked to see that the
whole painting was filled with crosses.
2 He burst into tears and said sadly, "I"m useless and if this is what I have learned to
paint, I"m not worth teaching."
The master smiled and suggested, "My son, I will prove that you are a great artist." The master told
him, "Just paint the same painting once again and give it to me."
Then they went to the same street the next morning and displayed the same painting. The master took
out another board which read - "Gentleman, I have painted this piece. Since I"m new, I might have made
some mistakes. I have put a box with colors and brushes just below. Please do
me a favor. 3 "The master and the young painter went back home.
They visited the place in the evening. The young painter was surprised to see that actually there was not a single correction done! 4 If you want to help people improve their behaviors, it is worth investing your effort in learning how to help people change their behaviors, attitudes and skills. Also, always remember
not to get carried away or judge yourself by someone else"s criticism and feel depressed as you are the
best judge to judge yourself!
A. It is easy to criticize, but difficult to improve.
B. Please put a cross wherever you see a mistake.
C. Discouraged and broken, he ran to his master"s place.
D. If you see a mistake, kindly pick up the brush and correct it.
E. Criticizing has the function of helping people improve themselves.

to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior
year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year . At this
ate he would never graduate, I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. "Please God, I can"t
do anything more for my son. I"m at the end of my rope. I"m giving the whole thing up to you."
I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. "I want to talk to
you about Karl"s absences." Before he could say another word, I choked up and all my disappointment
and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. "I love my son but I just don"t know
what to do. I"ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It"s out of my
hands."For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, "Thank
you for your time", and hung up.
Karl"s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the
honor roll .In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers
were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, "Mum, remember
that call from the headmaster last year?" I nodded. "That was me. I thought I"d play a joke but when I
heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That"s when I knew I had to make you
proud.

She then looked round for a vase to put them in. "Somebody has sent me flowers the very first day!" She thought
happily. "But who could it be?" She began to wonder.
Just then, the manager came in. He __6__ Miss Nancy good morning and caught the __7__ of the
flowers on her desk.
"Like the flowers, Miss Nancy?" he asked.
"Yes, I like them very much." She answered and _8_ his face, expecting to find some __9__. But the
