Ⅳ. 完形填空(共 15 小题;每小题 1 分,满分 15 分)
A man was employed to paint a boat. He brought paint and brushes and began to paint the boat as the owner wanted. While painting, he _41_ there was a hole in the body of the boat and decided to _42_ it. When he finished painting, he received his _43_ and left.
The next day, the owner of the boat visited the painter and _44_ him with a cheque (支票), much higher than what he was paid for the painting work. The painter was _45_.
“You've already paid me for painting the boat, sir!” he said.
“This is not for the paint job. It's for repairing the _46_ in the boat.”
“Ah! But it was such a small service,” the man said. “Certainly, it's not worth paying me such a high amount for something so _47_!”
“My dear friend,”the owner said, “you don't understand. Let me tell you _48_ happened. When I asked you to paint the boat, I forgot to mention the hole. When the boat dried, my kids took it and _49_ a fishing trip. They did not know that there was a hole there.”
“I was not at home at the time. So when I _50_ and noticed they had taken the boat, I was _51_. Imagine my _52_ and joy when I saw them returning safely from fishing. Then, I examined the boat and found that you had repaired the hole! You now see what you did? You _53_ the life of my children!”
Each of us has a moral duty to offer help, wipe tears, listen carefully and repair all the “holes” we _54_ in our life journey, because a small act will make a big _55_ in the future.
