五、完形填空。
Some people think they know everything. Anansi, the spider, didn’t think so. He was a ____ spider. And he knew he needed to have real wisdom(智慧). He had to learn more.
One day, Anansi found a(n) ____ gourd on the ground and he had an idea. “____ I get advice from others and put it in this gourd, then I’ll be wiser than anyone else in the world.”
So, he went from house to house and asked the other creatures(生物), “What’s your best piece of ____?” And they were all happy to share their wisdom, because they could see that Anansi ____ it.
The snail said, “Don’t be in a hurry. ____ is not a 100-metre race.”
The butterfly said, “Life is short. Enjoy every day.”
The ant said, “You’ll ____ be great on your own. Everyone needs the help from others.”
Anansi was very happy with all the advice. He took it and put it in ____ gourd. And when he’d filled the gourd, he thought to himself, “Now, I have more wisdom than anyone else. I must ____ the wisdom, so no one can steal it.” He ____ and saw a hole high up in a tree, and he had an idea.
Anansi held the gourd with two legs and tried to ____ the tree with his other six legs. But the gourd was too big and he couldn’t climb. His son was watching him nearby. “Daddy,” he said, “why don’t you ____ the gourd to your back and then climb the tree?” “That’s very good advice,” said Anansi. “Thank you for sharing it with me.” And then Anansi realized that advice is only ____ when we share it with someone.
So, he climbed the tree with the gourd on his back. And when Anansi reached the ____, he held the gourd up to the wind. All the advice flew into the sky and travelled ____ the land. And wisdom came to everyone.
