上海市奉贤区2015届九年级4月调研测试二模英语试(10)

The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, "You'll have to move a little faster next time," and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home, Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket instead. The old man said, "I don't want a bucket of water, I want a basket of water. You're just not trying hard enough," and Grandpa went out of the door to watch the boy if he would do. The boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would leak out before he got to the house. The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather, the basket was again empty. Out of breath, he said, "See Grandpa, it's useless."

"So you think it is useless." The old man said, "Look at the basket." The

boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was

different. It had been changed from a dirty old coal basket and was now

clean, inside and outside.

So, that's what happens when you read the book. You might not understand

or remember everything, but when you read it, you will be changed, inside and

outside.
