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

My name is Tim. Daddy didn't know how to show love. He went to work every day and blamed (责备) me for the mistakes I had made when he came home.

Once I broke my leg and it was Mum who held me in her arms all the way to the hospital.

Later, Dad pulled the car right up to the door of the hospital.

They asked him to move it, saying the space was saved for the ambulance(救护车). Dad shouted, “What do you think this is? A tour bus?”

At my birthday parties, Dad always seemed out of place. He just kept himself busy blowing up balloons, setting up tables, and welcoming the guests. It was Mum who carried the cake with the candles on it for me to blow out.

When I learned to ride a bike, I asked him not to leave me alone, but he said it was time. I fell and Mum ran to pick me up, but he stopped her. I was so mad that I showed him that I could ride it myself. He just smiled.

When I went to college, Mum did all the writing. He just sent money and a little note about how great his garden looked now just because I wasn't playing football on it.

Whenever I called home, he acted like he wanted to talk but always said, “Wait, Tim. I'll get your mother.”

When I was a teenager, I went to Brittany with my parents. We lived in a lovely house, and the weather was great. But I was 17, and I didn’t want to be on holiday with my parents.
