An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer, a contractor, of his plans to leave the house-building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They could get by. The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career. When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to inspect the house, the contractor handed the front-door key to the carpenter. "This is your house," he said, "my gift to you." What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well. So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized that we would have done it differently. Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Build wisely. It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one more day, that day deserves to be lived graciously and with dignity. The plaque on the wall says, "Life is a do-it-yourself project." Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and the choices you make today.
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. What did the carpenter plan to do?
33. How did the contractor plan to deal with the house he asked the carpenter to build?
34. What can we know about the last house the carpenter built?
35. What does the story intend to tell us?
选项
A、He planned to sell it to one of his customers.
B、He planned to send it to the carpenter as a gift.
C、He planned to fill it with his favorites.
D、He planned to send it to his partner.
答案
B
解析
选项均以He planned to开头以及其中的sell/send it等表明,本题考查He对it的处理方式,听音时注意it指代什么。短文中提到,木匠的雇主让他在退休前再造一所房子,在木匠完工后,雇主把thefront-doorkey交给了木匠,并告诉他“This is your house…my gift to you”,由此可知,雇主打算将房子送给木匠,故答案为[B]。
