Passage 46

(山东省烟台市开发区高中2010届高三10月月考)

After years of searching，a truth seeker was told to go to a cave，in which he would find a well．“Ask the well what is　 36 　”，he was advised．‘'and the well will reveal(揭示)it to you’． Having found the well，the seeker asked that most basic and important　 37　 ．And from the depths came the answer：“Go to the village crossroad，and there you shall find what you are seeking．”

　　 Full of 　　38　 the man ran to the crossroad to 　　39　 only three rather uninteresting shops．One shop was selling pieces of metal，another sold　 40　 ，and thin wires were for sale in the third．Nothing and no one there seemed to　 41　 much to do with the revelation of truth．

　　 Disappointed，the seeker returned to the well to demand an　 42 　，but he was told only：“You will　 43　 in the future．”

　　 As years went by, the　 44　 of his experience at the well gradually　 45　 until one night，while he was walking，the sound of sitar(一种弦乐器)music　 46　 his attention．It was wonderful and it was　 47　 with great skill and inspiration．

　　 Deeply　 48　 ，the truth seeker felt drawn towards the 　49　　 ．He looked at the fingers dancing over the strings．And then suddenly he let out a cry of joyful　 51　 ：the sitar was made out of wires and pieces of metal and wood just like　 51 　he had once seen in the three stores．

　　 At last he understood the　 52　 of the well：we have already been given everything we

need：our　 53　 is to assemble(聚集)and use them in the proper way．Nothing is　 54　 so long as we recognize only fragments(碎片)．But as soon as the pieces arc put together, something new appears．whose nature we could not have　 55　 by considering the fragments alone．
