There once was a master who went to India. He had never been there before. When he got there, he saw a lot of f 1. . In India they have plenty of fruit to sell, but much of it is expensive b 2. they can’t grow much as a result of the water situation. He saw a big basket of some very red, long fruit. And it was the c 3. in the shop, not expensive at all.
He went up and asked,“how much per kilo?”“Two rupees.”Two rupees in India is almost
n 4. ; it’s like dirt (尘土). So he bought a whole kilogram of it and started eating it. But
a 5. he ate some of it: Oh, my god! His eyes watered, his mouth watered and burned, his eyes were burning, his head was burning and his face became red. He jumped up and down, saying,“Ah! Ah! Ah!”
But he s 6. continued to eat! Some people looking at him shook their heads and said,“You’re crazy. Those are chilies (辣椒)! You can’t eat them like that. They’re not fruit!” However, the master said, “No, I can’t stop! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them. It’s my money!”
You may think that master was s 7. , right? Similarly, we sometimes do a lot of things
l 8. that. We devote money, time or effort to a relationship. Even though the suffering experience tells us it won’t w 9. , and we know there’s no hope things will change in the future—we still continue just because we’ve devoted money, time, effort and love to it. Just like the man who ate the chilies and suffered so much but couldn’t stop.
So even if you’ve lost something, let it g 10. and move on. That’s better than continuing to lose.

When my wife left this world, I chose to travel in Antigua looking for a peaceful place to rest my old body. Not quite old and weak, I felt I wanted something more than the usual hotel room with 24-hour room service.
I decided this year to try something completely new and booked myself a private holiday home in Antigua. This was the best decision I had ever made, as there was plenty to do, plenty to see and lots of lovely restaurants to visit. There was a private swimming pool, and a cool, wide yard where I ate my breakfast most mornings.
Antigua has to be one of the loveliest places on earth to spend a holiday. The bright blue sea and the endless blue around the beach areas proved to be an excellent place for me to spend the long afternoons.
I had to hurry to do what I wanted to do before the holiday came to an end. I managed to visit the Sugar Mill and Shirley Heights on my last two days and yet found myself wondering whether I could extend for a few more days.
I rented a boat and came home after a day’s sailing, refreshed, looking forward to dinner. Everything is so pleasant on these beautiful islands, swept by the trade winds and warmed by the sun for so many summer months. The food just tasted better to me, perhaps because I was having such a great holiday. There was always someone to have a drink with---- that’s what I liked most.
1.Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned about the private holiday home the writer stayed in?
A.It had a private swimming pool.
B.There were lots of restaurants near it.
C.The writer often had breakfast in its yard.
D.It supplied delicious seafood to the writer.
2.The word “extend” in Paragraph 4 probably means “______”.
A.make something last longer
B.make you feel happy
C.prevent from entering
D.sell goods to foreign countries
3.The most important reason for the writer to travel in Antigua was ______.
A.there was bright blue sea
B.there was endless blue sky
C.there were lots of lovely restaurants
D.there were many people to drink with
4.The passage is most likely to be taken from a part of ______.
