Christian Bucks may be young， but he sure knows how to be a good friend. When the York， Pennsylvania， second-grader noticed that some of his schoolmates didn’t have anyone to play with during the break time， he came up with a way to help them.

A young man went to visit a wise man who lived deep in the mountain. He wanted to ask for wisdom (智慧) of life.

“Excuse me! Could you tell me what is the most important day in our lives? Is it the day were born or the day we die? Is it the day we fall in love or the day we are successful?” the young man asked.

“None. The most important day in our lives is today.” the wise man replied calmly.

“Why?” the young man was very surprised. “Is it because there is some unusual event taking place today?”

“No. Nothing has happened today.”

“So is it because of my visit?”

“Even if nobody visited me today, today is still very important, because today is the only wealth(财富) we have. No matter how important yesterday is, it has gone by; 3 no matter how wonderful tomorrow may be, it hasn't come; no matter how ordinary and boring today is, it is in our hands.”

The young man still wanted to ask something, but the wise man stopped him and said, “When we are talking about the importance of today, we have wasted a lot of it. That is to say, part of ‘today’ has passed.”

Having understood this, the young man nodded and then went down the mountain.

4 Actually today is the only wealth and chance we have. Therefore, what we should do now is to forget yesterday and tomorrow and catch hold of today!

（一）根据短文内容简要回答问题。

1.Why did the young man want to visit the wise man?

2.Did the young man get the answer to his question?

（二）将短文中划线的句子译成汉语。

A young man went to the local expert (专家) on gems and said he wanted to become a gemologist (珠宝家). The expert turned him down because he was afraid that the youth would not have the patience to learn. The young man asked for a chance. Finally, the expert told the youth, "Be here tomorrow."

The next morning the expert put a jade (玉) stone in the youth's hand and told him to hold it. The expert then went about his work, cutting, weighing and setting gems. The boy sat quietly and waited.

The following morning the expert again put the jade stone in the youth's hand and told him to hold it. On the third, fourth and fifth days, the expert asked the young man to do the same thing. On the sixth day, the youth held the jade stone but he could no longer stand(忍受) the silence. "Master, when am I going to learn something?" he asked.

"You will learn." the expert said and went about his business.

Several more days went by and the youth almost lost his patience. But one morning as the master put the stone in the youth's hand, the young man said without looking at his hand, "This is not the same jade stone!"

"You have begun to learn." said the master.

Practice makes perfect. The experience we learned from practice teaches us and develops our abilities. Experience is the best teacher. Even the most successful person had no absolute confidence once. It is experience that gives people confidence. The truth is: if you do the work and gain the experience, you'll have more confidence because you'll actually know what you're doing.

1.The phrase "turned ... down" probably means _______.

A. refused　　　　　 B. liked

C. understood　　　 D. held

2.The expert let the young man hold the jade stone for so many days because he wanted to see if the young man was _______.

A. brave　　　　　　 B. patient　　　　　　 C. clever　　　　　　 D. honest

3.What may be the best title for this passage?

A. An Experienced Gemologist　　 B. Experience, the Best Teacher

C. Experience of a Young Man　　 D. A Confident Teacher
