完形填空
There once was a king in a far away
country. One day, he decided to 1a prize to the artist who would paint the
best picture of 2So many artists 3 The king looked at all the pictures. 4 there were only two he really liked, and he
had to 5 between
them.
One picture was of a 6 ake. The lake was a perfect mirror with
peaceful huge mountains all around it. Above was a 7 sky with light white clouds. All who 8 this picture thought that it was a
perfect picture of peace.
The other picture had 9 ,too. But these
were not flat at all. Above was an 10 sky, from which rain fell heavily and in which
lightning played11. Down the side of the mountain was a
waterfall with loud sound. This did not look 12at
all.
But when the king looked
13 he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush 14 in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother
bird had 15 her nest. There, with the current of angry
water, the mother bird was 16 her
hungry children in the nest, taking no attention to its 17 surroundings — in perfect peace.
Which
picture do you think 18 the
prize? The king chose the second picture. Do you know why?
"Because,"
said the king. "Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no 19 , trouble or hard work. Peace means although
you are surrounded by noisy things you 20 keep calm in the heart. That is the real
meaning of peace."
